I won't be divulging that. But I trust it is correct.

Young Dee - you can't expect to have a coach installed before September. Especially if we do not get Roos. As for the list - those decisions are already being made and they are not that hard really. Couch has been told, as has MacDonald. The coach will be installed before trade week an that's when he can have input into decisions on recruitment from other clubs.

I'm glad we have graduated to the point where shooting for goal is THE issue that we have battled which shows our ineptitude... Our issue as a club is that we throw up a decent showing against a good midfield like last night and come away with an attitude of self-satisfaction. The players should take some inputs from that display - confidence, belief, trust in their teammates to do a job (looking in your direction Jordie) but no output - you didn't win. 'Plenty to take to next week but nothing gained' is where their heads should be.

I wonder if 'The Poach' rumour is as strong as the 'Roos' rumour...
-
Yeah, our problems aren't "set shot" related...

She didn't like CS as people are entitled to, even I - who you sometimes lambast as a CS sympathizer - said before his last, disastrous extension that I could see the club going in a different direction.But Wilson's crusade to destroy Schwab was not some targeted laser guided mission. She accused the club of some pretty diabolical things that were not true. And we can sit here in smug satisfaction at the removal of people at the club as if their removal will instantly inflate us, but I will not permit journalists to get away with mistruths and then have them waved away as 'she had the jist' and her uncorrected mistruths concerned minor issues. She said the club organised a secret meeting where a strategy to lose games was devised and that the CEO and the Head of Footy Ops were so conspiratorial that they had a code name for the meeting -The Vault. Well, as we now know it was a regular meeting of staff in a building nicknamed the Vault in which CC told a dark joke about a looming loss of a priority pick. Wilson is no hero in the nonsense of last summer.

It's personal when people intimate a CEO I has designs to move the team.
-
Players pick their captain one way or the other.

Well, you are going to disappointed jumbo. We will go for an experienced head coach. Oh, and just a big bag o crazy to think that the AFL wants another market at the moment. They are pumping money into two places at the moment. They just want us to get our act together. I really don't know where this crazy is coming from?
-
I still believe this. Re-select every year and if people get their noses out of joint because others have moved past them in others perceptions - then train them to take that the right way and work hard and continue leading. Maybe its Jones or maybe its Jones-Grimes or Trengove-Jones-Grimes but get the leader from the group for that year. The siutaion is fluid. In more ways than one...
-
And you are kidding if you think that Jackson would give the reigns to Brown, Ling or Kirk and that fans would be excited over them. Fans would be wary of them, anxious even. And Craig is contracted for next year. And he is a proven head coach. Now you are becoming boorish. What agenda or you paranoid about? And why do you think a MFC employee - which Jackson is and will remain for the life of his tenure - will do what you are so nervous about?
-
For those too slow or without memory - that was Brian Royal.
-
From a mathematic POV - no.
-
It's a really good point. The opportunity of those that are to work at this club involves where we are at right now. Any prospective employees need to realise, and communicate to Jackson, that this is just about being involved in a footy club but rebuilding almost everything that makes a good football club. Some people would not be comfortable with that responsibility.
-
Who would that be? Do you really think that Jackson will gamble on an Adam Simpson? Do you really think that a Leigh Tudor will excite fans? Neil Craig is more of a chance to coach this club than an untried coach.
-
What analogy? Craig is being ajudged a bad coach because of the last two weeks. Not only is that unfair, it is wholly misrepresenting of the fact that he has already proven he can coach elsewhere. And while I still have Roos and Williams above him - that is why he is a chance to coach next year. Proven coach, proven culture. No-one can stear this shipwreck as you and stmj and OD have already said. But if we went for Craig next year then I would understand and get behind a bloke that knows what a successful culture and club looks like.
-
Can I just say that last Saturday or the North game was not a reflection on Craig as a coach. He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone - and maybe as MFC supporters we can't see when people outside our sphere have achieved something. He is a good coach.
-
lol Are we seriously trolling our own players? Well, I guess they did it first...
-
If we brought in only what you think are guaranteed talents - we would have half a list. The fact is that we need to look at turining some fringe youngsters at other clubs into dependable players for us. We will only have a small chance to get good Free Agents, we will only have a finite number of top 5 picks. We need to bring in players we see as big improvers because that are players we can actually recruit. And it is the same mindset that brought in Matt Jones, Terlich, and Clisby. 3 of our 4 hardest running players. If there are similar (there would be better) fringe players at other AFL clubs - get them to the Dees.
-
For one thing - we can comprehend what you are saying. And don't give me this 'private school' BS. My mum is why I am like this, you would try and get your spelling and grammar right too if she was your mum... We are a little community here and we all take our licks in good humour. PS. Daisycutter - how dare you show me to be a hypocrite!1! I will [Censored] your [Censored] if [Censored] [Censored] like [Censored] Shrek 3!1!

Well, I believe there is a correlation; the correlation being that our support is contingent, and we should not damn employees for their continued desire to be at the club being contingent. I never damned your position - I agree with the premise in fact: we need to hire an experienced coach (and one that isn't Laidley and sells some level of hope). There are a few supporters who have turned on Watts because he will not sign before he sees the direction we are headed. I see that as wholly unfair, especially considering your ultimatum as a supporter. I hope you calm down enough to understand that - like the note in the original post - I never meant to ridicule your position, only the views of those ridiculing Watts for not showing an unreasonable amount of loyalty to his employer.
-
Jeez, cool down Billy. The point is that we have an expectation of players that are out of line. Trengove re-signing in 2011 was a show of faith wholly outside of what this club deserves.
-
That might be good, but it won't help their spelling or grammar...
-
He is signed until 2015. And his agent not negotiating, if that is the case, is just another case, like Watts, of an agent doing his due diligence and protecting his client. Billy2803 is a poster here and he has said that if we hire an inexperienced coach he won't support the club anymore. But we expect our employees stuck in limbo to show ultimate loyalty? Make some good additions to the FD and hire a proven coach and we will keep these players. Note: I do not mention billy to ridicule, only to point out our expectations and our hypocrisy.
