Ifs, buts and maybes. Maybe the club is fundamentally incapable of succeeding but 5 and half years is enough time to give any coach. No CEO in any walk of life survives that long delivering mediocrity. I reckon Hardwick will get them to finals. They have the talent. The club would be remiss to pass on the opportunity to bring him in if he's keen.

Beggars belief after all this time we haven’t found a site for a home base. MGC precinct is a pipe dream. Letting the Caulfield opportunity pass us by would be a travesty and a sackable offence for this board if it happens.

From a death Riding perspective this is good for us. the players won't want to look like they are the problem so will lift their game for the rest of the season.

And you could say this about every sacked coach. In terms of supporters, if they had any they would have been on his case long ago.

Really. They haven't made finals with the list they have. They fold every year like a cheap suit. And they have plenty of AFL support and the resources to succeed. No heart is a reflection on the coach. They've had their moments but they habitually disappoint every time they look like turning the corner. And i reckon Simon Goodwin would turn them into a finals team if he had the chance.

he can have no complaints sliding door moment when the Swans would not let Roos bring him to the Dees as his successor. We dodged a bullet there.

the preference is the pies at the G for sure but if it comes to it I have no fears of playing Port at AO either. They have [censored] the bed there in finals matches in recent years so we can be confident of beating them.

Not our long suit. Moreso the Lions big weakness.

He’s been in the doldrums for too long. I don’t think Casey is the go so I reckon get him on ball so he can get some touches and feel his way back into form.

We can’t overtake the pies so I hope they beat the snot out of freo next weekend.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the lions dire record at the G (their only win coming against us when we were battered and bruised in the finals last year). Rain or not we’ll beat them.

2 goals to 3 quarter time. Pathetic from freo. And hilarious

Let it go. We'll finish top 4 regardless.

Freo have a tough run in. If they play like this for the rest of the season then pick 4 is a genuine possibility.

Ordinary first quarter from Freo. Looks like it's going to be a day for the death riders.

It was annoying listening to Darcy barrack for the Saints last night but he's still salty because we brutalised his beloved doggies in the 21GF. Very transparent. Most of the media are just hacks so tbh I don't really care what they have to say.

Goody made some big calls at the selection table and they paid off against the Saints. Kudos to him. I'm glad JVR has had a couple of weeks to recharge at Casey but i want to see him come in against the Lions. If we win the flag, he'll be in the 22 for sure. I want to see him tested against another contender and also see how he goes working in tandem with BBB. We need that partnership to click so the more games they play together before finals the better.

Far out, some people are never happy.

Saints made it very difficult but we absorbed everything they threw at us and got the win. Goal kicking much improved. Trac accurate for once. Liked Melks game. Steven May very good. Taj did well on his debut. We won’t get ahead of ourselves but that win takes the pressure off so hopefully now we can kick on, build some form and hopefully have a dip at the flag Go Dees

Luke Darcy is painful

Melks has more than justified his selection

Credit to the saints for effort but in the circumstances we should not be letting them dominate us like this. If they kicked straight we’d be in real trouble.

Melks has Missed a couple of marks

Saints down 3 men makes it very difficult for them. We should run over the top of them in the second half.

A lot of stupid handballing going on. No awareness
