Sorry kids

Great move if he gave us 5 years. If not I could take or leave him.

Quite right Ding. I am sick of the worshipping at the Jackson altar. Sure he was competent. That was his job. He couldn't give a stuff, just like pert and all the rest.

Likely because he is a VFL standard coach.

Just think we could have has a suburban coach, President and CEO for the past 6 years and be in much the same position. It is mind boggling. many will criticize but Roos for 2-3 years was always a desperate move.

Serious problems and issues to address. None will make 2020 clear sailing Jones and Lewis will be gone. They not be playing well but will leave a hole in leadership. Brayshaw looks close to lost to footy, certainly with us. ANB, Hannan need to go. We do not have a matchwinner no matter how good Oliver is. We do not have players that lap up the big moments. And on it goes.

Maybe but for mine it was never 50/50.

Six years in to the latest rebuild. Dub administration. Anyone who thinks this year is a blimp needs their head read. Dud coach- the concept of coaching is not all about game plans it is improving players weaknesses both in the area of skill and mental approach. Dud recruiting Too many dud players.

I reckon when it was a goal apart we would have been 3 to 1.

Vineys game a lot more subtle and relaxed, less crash and bash.

I understand the Casey bit. I always went to the Reserves game in the hope of seeing an up an comer before the usual disaster that was the senior game. Had the pleasure of seeing a young Jimmy Stynes dominate hitouts one day when the irish experiment was a joke. and then one day around the same time I reckon I counted Sean Wight take nine marks in a last quarter. Gee I miss the reserves games.

Love the article. We all feel a sense of ownership to the uniqueness of "the Melbourne Way'.

How is Viney, Captain ahead of Tom Mac

Interviewer missed the obvious question Tom We learned a lot yesterday and during the season Interviewer Silence Coulda Shoulda What have you learned/ Beyond that Tom speaks really well and gives a good analysis.

Keep playing Petty needs games Dunkley clever skills Wiedeman future key

David Parkin on radio. He likes Weed a lot and says our supporters are overly critical of him. I agree, he is a classy player and developing slowly and steadily. The least of our worries. Anyone who has played CHF knows it is an extremely difficult position to play.

Lever has talent and leadership but is massively over rated by our footy department on his performances over the journey. It was exasperated by that idiot captain of theirs going on like he was irreplaceable.

The Doggies had to fight to keep the Club alive and they now really stand for something in the Western suburbs with strong community networking, interaction and planning. Now they have the facilities that go hand in hand with the fighting spirit. That is why I see what they have achieved as a model for our future home base and a clean start.

At least you spared them the danger of seeing a win and getting hooked by going with you.

Yes, but why the intrigue and disruption. Why would you risk Gawn even having to try and bit fit. Should have had his feet up, figuratively speaking all week.

So true. Clubs like us around because historically most have a two out of a three chance of beating us.

I would rather see him at Freo than have the go home factor play out for a few years from getting to us.

Spargo. I sometimes feel recruiters do so much analysis into players as part of a due diligence plan that they go against logic and gut feel, which in Spargos case would have been, too small without speed. Those two things alone should have ruled him out for further analysis. end of story, move on to the next on the list.

In hindsight it was all so predictable. Get in a highly rated coach on massive $$$, give him unlimited influence, replace him on match day two years in with a rookie and watch the wheels fall off.

Liked Bedford and Jordan, keep getting development into them. Very concerned neither Spargo or OMac have no physical presence at VFL level. Shame but I would move on Spargo and think long and hard at OMac. Kielty very ordinary as well.
