Docs Demons

Need to remember also they are paying McGovern about $100k per disposal!!

Great news and in my opinion indicates he has confidence in where we are heading or he would have walked.

Agree. We gave him a chance and I hoped it would work out but he decided elsewise. Club in my view did all it could. Pity but we must move on.

Well said. Very similar to the teams season. Had a chance and didn't make the most of it. Got the talent but never took advantage of it. I bloody hope we long suffering supporters get to be in a peaceful place soon. That aside wishing HB all the best. AND also our team.

I hope not. Brayshaw would eat Polec for Breakfast. Polec is not that good and is bad news. Forr me Brayshaw has more upside remembering he came 3rd in the Brownlow only 2 years ago.

Unfortunately this thread should be changed to BYE BYE Harley. Such a shame. I think the club has only one option and that is to show him the door.

He's not that good. Glad he chose Carlton and they can have him. If money is correct they will have more problems than fixes. Players will not be happy giving a back flanker who is injury prone and is not a star that sort of cash. Wait for the fall out from Carlton players.

Spot on being 4-6 players away from a good team. I have said many times we are let down by our bottom 4-6 players every week. The other 16-18 players who are as good as in any side just can't cover for them week in and week out. Our last 4-6 players and it doesn't matter who we pick, they are just not of AFL standard. Yesterday again we were let down by at least 6 players who could not get a touch and barely got any SC points. We need to get a more even spread of players and improve our bottom few. No need to go out and spend a fortune. Just improve our poorer players.

Doesn't Red & Blue make Purple. Go Dockers

I'm happy with that plus I think Melk needs to go but doubt it.

It is what it is people. All we can do is beat the Bombers by even a point and wait for Sunday to see if Freo can give us a miracle. Yes I would be happy to play the Eagles in Perth. At least we are in a final and anything can happen on the day. Before that we need to win and Freo to win. Go Dees and Dockers.

Not sure if you can read much into it but in today's training gallery (picture 10/14) on clubs website there seemed to be 2 different squads. One with Goody talking to in what appeared to be the team to play this week and whilst you can't see them all Jackson was in it.

I think Dub is taking the Mickey!!

Plus It's their coaches last game however if and a BIG IF, we can get a good start then they may throw the towel in. We need to hit the ground running early. A negative for me is it is on the GC and not at the Gabba where we play well. We do not play Metricon well.

Talk about Jekyll & Hyde. This mob jut do your head in but I suppose we should be used to it by now. Which team will turn up next week?. Need Hawks to pull one out today. Go Hawks.

Be calm by first bounce. Breeze drooping down. Should be a still night so our skills will shine !!!!

Must have played a blinder in a scratch match somewhere in last few days. Got me beat. We have a shocking/pathetic forward line HOWEVER we have played well at the Gabba so there is some hope, maybe.

With Ya

Rivers is the only kid deserving of a game. Why play kids when they are not up to it at the moment. You still need to pick best available. Let's hope these kids like Baker & Bedford can improve over the off season as they need to if wanting to play AFL

We are weak as P. Players and Caches need to look into the mirror big time and see if they are willing now to have a go seeing Giants lost. Win one of Swans/Freo and most likely in. Now we have to turn up Saturday night against Giants. Still I have no faith but who knows what team will turn up.

I'd go Hodge. Tough and will not take any crap. Untried I know but has all the attributes to succeed.

I've got no idea what has happened to this side in last 2 games. Was at the Gabba against Magpies and we moved the ball well, switching, hitting the corridor etc. etc then go Cairns and as soon as it is a bit wet or windy we go back to just throwing it on the boot or down the line. Did we at any time against Sydney or Freo try to take it on and switch or going down the middle. Don't think so. How can we play so well against Magpies then put up that crap in last 2 games.

Spot on. Our top 6 or so are as good as any in the comp but our bottom 6-10 are just horrible and bring us down every time. I dare to say some of them would not get a game for North at present. That's how bad they are.

Also done. Enough is enough.

That has just about done me. As a Qld member and been paying for myself and twin Grand Sons membership now for over 15 years these last 2 efforts has put me over the edge and will seriously look at not renewing next season. Now 68 and I think I have no hope of seeing this team win consistently or even get close to a flag before I go. At least I was at the G as a 12 year old in 64. Now for a bit of a rant. You posters wanting speed in the team have got rocks in your heads. Speed is fine but you need to get the ball first. Kozzie, Baker, Bedford, Hunt are all local comp players at best. Not even VFL standard. Might be able to run fast but they run fast away from the play. Throw in the plodders like ANB, Smith, Lever, Melk and also the witch hat up forward in Weid who did not lay a tackle again and you have ONE ORDINARY team. Oh by the way throw one coach in there as well. That's a coach and about half the team that played tonight need to go before I even consider following this useless mob for my next 68 years!!!! That's it.
