  1. WHY IS THE LIST INCOMPLETE SEEMS A FEW MORE CAN BE ADDED!
  2. Yep couldn't agree more!!
  3. And how many times have we had the chance to get the coaching appointment right??
  4. Anyone who thinks Morton should come in should look at the Frankston game.Then read Clint Bizkits appraisal elsewhere in game thread. Then put that into context with the contested possesion count in the North game! A stat which shows we were slaughtered! So some want to put a bloke in who is so far outside i.e uncontested you need a telescope to see him to address our inside contested possesion problem?? The game aint won with outside runners, but with inside grunters who run and carry! Get Real! My Inns: Fitzpatrick, Gysberts, Couch ( wouldn't have dropped him in the first place) and Watts Outs : Seller , Dunne, Strauss, Spencer That's for a start
  5. Hnmm interesting Still maintain, we should have kept "JUICE" !
  6. I would be all for Paul Chapman, kicked 3 today and is the type of player we need Now! Got another one for you as well Simon Hogan who can't crack it for a senior game at Geelong, quick, smart ball gatherer and user!
  7. And from Clint Bizkit today.. "Extremely soft effort by Morton in defence allows Frankston to kick a goal." Says it all.... LOL, wouldn't get anyone to trade if you chucked in a hundred bottles of vintage "Grange Hermitage" to sweeten the deal!
  8. First to go should be the Coach, not only have the players gone backwards; I am struggling to find any structure whatsoever. The only redeeming piont from this season, is Nathan Jones and he is the only one who has improved. Says plenty!
  9. no NO no and NO AND IF I'M NOT CLEAR NOOOOOOO NO D-H POLICY
  10. Yep absolute no brainer, anyone that cannot see our midfield needs being adressed with these great early picks has little vision!! Trade some dead wood, make some more salary cap room if needed and if we are in the position to get a Premiership CHF Then why wouldn't you? If I was a defender I'd be having nightmares about playing in a backline against Clark and Cloke. Add a fit Jurrah, an improving Howe, grab a crumber with another pick, add Swingman Watts into the forward line and Bingo ... your playing stocks increase exponentially! so does your potential to kick swags of goals, something we don't do enough off! I believe we would be highly negligent to not throw the Southern Stand containing buckloads of cash at Cloke Lets go get him! Now!
  11. IMO "The Bailey era was a complete waste of time" Yeah well I agree, somewhat, BUT I'll ask the question.... Did the same administration who put Bailey at the helm ah also put Neeld in the senior role...or am I missing something here?? IMO, We should have gone all out for an experienced Premiership coach and thrown everything at him and yes I'm talking Malthouse Or Roos and offered truckloads to get them here....I would have even have considered Pagan... Mediocrity? yeah I can spell it and I can also spell Illusion....! Something Bailey and Neeld et al, have been good at selling our current administration some might/would say.. Time for a new ruthlessness I feel..,No more techno this plan that plan, might work at Collingwood, and other places but as assistants go anyone can talk the talk, in an assistant role, but to take on the main role is something else and I aint seen any walk the walk>> Have you?? Im tired of two- three year fitness plans bulltish, and small but ultimately insignificant gains. IMV Time to weld the AXE big time No more excuses no more crap Get real or face oblivion..!! Cheezus 48 years and counting... in the wilderness. Time to beam me up Scotty!
  12. Bailey did better and I didn't rate him too highly what does that tell you?
  13. Very lucky, by my reckoning he was looking at 6 and even that is lenient!!
  14. Yesiiree nothing like a "Spicy wing pack" its HOT HOT HOT! Dark Horse has just exposed "The Dark side"
  15. Fitzpatrick has much more upside than Spencer. I would like to see Fitz get an extended run in tandem with Martin
  16. Fair enough I'll take the "Lactic Acid" Rationale in a nutshell! I'll be an interested observer for the rest of the year! Ta very Much "The Fence"
  17. Dunno, I will look when I have time, but when I turned over ( from the VFL) as stated in the last quarter, I witnessed this occurance and I am only talking the last quarter!.Which is why the comment! Anyone else want to fill me in on how his disposal was in the first three Q?
  18. And in more worrying news the fact that Jamar reinjured the same calf which was rehabed must be a concern for the conditioning people. Bottom line they are the guys that are the experts and so really should Jamar have played today would be my question? Reoccuring soft tissue injuries are almost the exclusive domain of amateur sport not professional AFL I would have thought. Interesting if the HARDER Etihad abomination of a surface had anything to do with the reoccurance! One other thing hardnut or anyone else who might know exactly what are Dave Missons sports qualifications and I'm not talking about his reputation, what are his academic quals? anyone know?
  19. Oh I suddenly feel ill, give me Fitzpatrick FITZPATRICK AND FITZPATRICK
  20. And we supposedly recruited Strauss for his 'Elite" kicking skills, well when I switched on for the last quarter I saw him turn the ball over three times in ten minutes of footy! Hardly "Elite" and don't give me "But this was his first game"... stuff Nup Strauss like many of our players cannot hit targets. Just don't know why the hype over his supposedly excellent disposal based on what I saw today!
  21. Ah explains it then! Thanks
  22. Explain your rationale, Jungle Dee( and anyone else for that matter) as to why he will be at another club next year?
  23. Gees reminds me of junior school house footy Blue Vs Red Green Vs Gold Next week ...ah I think you get the picture... Bendigo Gold... Absurd!
  24. Brent Moloney Has got the most out of himself in his AFL footy career and quite possibly most out of his life at this point as a professional sportsman, I might also add he is a genuine Bloke who takes time to talk to the common man, something some players find very difficult! A life long demon supporter He could be described as very much "Old School" Must have really, really cut to the bone with his demotion from leadership But a born leader no less Great leaders when appointed, step up to the mark, some spectacularly like Beamer has done in the past. A few indescretions see him ostensibly consigned to the "Damaged Goods" bin Very unfortunate...... Very!! A Best and Fairest winner at Melbourne... Impressive!! Now on the basis of a less than spectacular season under a new coach and some want to write him off??? Nup We need blokes like Brent Moloney and I'll give you a Tip.. Norm Smith would have loved him Enough for me Keep at all costs!
  25. Not a bad team this! Always happy to see Ricky Petterd in the team, Would much have prefered for Gyberts to be in for Bennell and maybe for Fitzy to come in and give him some valuable game time on the back of impressive form last week at Casey! Can't really complain Green had to come in and it would be fitting for him to finish his Career ( form warranting) with a 250 game milestone!
