It's being reported that he has said he is not entertaining the idead of being MFC CEO. He wants to take a break and do something different.

I certainly hope not, he was not a very good coach to say the least, well at the minute he is better than Mark Harvey... I've mentioned it a few times on here. Connolls has quite a big match day role. He sits on the bench yelling instructions and directions out to players, he is the first bloke out to the group after wins talking to the team, before the coaches. I think Bails has faith in himself and Connolls to be professional and stick to each others roles. I couldn't think of anything more ridiculous to the future of our club and our stability than this happening. If it did happen that would be about enough for me i'd think

The issue is we do not have that much time, we are on our last gasps if we do not stop loosing money hand over fist. As one poster pointed out how much of our debt over the last two years has been to do with covering costs of employees we've moved on? Close to $1.5/$2mill? And if you want to judge Jim over a year or so why would Paul Mac not get the same time frames from the board? I don't know if it is a right or wrong choice but my goodness from the outside looking in we still look a mess. The reasoning behind the descision might be sound but at the same time I hope we can get someone into the role very very quickly, if a board member is running the day to day CEO function, it would surprise me if he had the time to do an exceptional job if he has a day job.... The other worry is Casey, how does this affect that going forward? Is this going to be the 3rd person (Spargo) from the club who has been in charge of it now? Casey must be a little concerned with that.

I don't think Ablett fits into Yoda's youth policy JD...

I would see her being the most attacked because of what she writes not becuase of her gender. She has always been unafraid of writting what she thinks is the truth at the time on any story. Thus she is attacked by people associated with the stories and attacked by other journo's jealous of her position as head football writer for the age. And yes I agree Lane doesn't write the same articles so why would she be attacked? She is of the same gender and is not attacked is she? It is because of what they write. I will add one thing that i find difficult with all journo's is there lack of accountability if they are wrong in a story, if they are getit wrong they never admit the mistake and never retract it.

Garland did not fit the criteria of games played in '07. 5 games in '07, 3 in '08.

That is not because she is a woman though RI, it is beacuse he is a [email protected]

I'm not a fan either way but is she belittled because she is a woman or becuase of what she writes....... the times I've seen her "attacked" it has been for what she has written. All journo's are attacked at some point, she is still unafraid of broaching hard topics and going with sources even when previous stories have turned out to be untrue or not as she has written them. You have to give her credit for plugging away.

yeap that Ben Holland waits til he feels his shoulder is right then comes out a plays well, caveat, they pumped and ave side.

Based purely on stats it is Bucks Name: Disposal Diff 07 to 08 (min 3games in 08) Simon Buckley 8.55 Christopher Johnson 7.71 Matthew Whelan 7.23 Brock McLean 5.5 Brent Moloney 4.28 Colin Sylvia 3.69 Paul Johnson 3.69 Paul Wheatley 3.35 Matthew Bate 3.13 Brad Miller 2.95 Jeff White 2.65 Mark Jamar 2.6 Nathan Jones 2.5 Clint Bartram 2.24 Daniel Bell 1.4 James Frawley 1.31 Brad Green 1.07 Aaron Davey 0.98 Nathan Carroll 0.86 Cameron Bruce 0.38 Russell Robertson 0.33 Lynden Dunn -0.67 David Neitz -1.87 Michael Newton -1.97 Adem Yze -3.87 James McDonald -4.98 - Bruce is the leading player for both seasons with a slight increase this season - Junior has dropped the most by almost 5 disposals a game - Brock increased his output by 5.5 disposals a game - Newton ave less than last season. I think if my calculations are correct we are ave 11 less inside 50's a game

hhmmmm Holland making sure he was right to come back and has a big game..... Interesting that. "Ben Holland - looked like he was going to spoil Sautner's big day when he was plucking marks from everywhere in the first quarter. Continued to dominate in the air as Tassie had no answers to his size and strength. Very good first game back, ending up with four majors."

Another inspiring time in our history. THe passion these guys showed after the win is awesome! I was there that night but as I was only 10 do not have many memories so it is great to watch again.

Very emotinal stuff, the man bleed for this club. About 1.05 in gave me chills...

ok

JD continually doing the same thing for the same outcome = dumb, lazy when doing anything. If you don't learn over how many years will you ever learn?

Fark me I was not being to serious with that one.... hmm good to see improvement for the big Russian, but gee wiz a career high 14 possies after how many years in the system is a worry, and even though R Warnock is young if he can't out point Jamar then he might not be an ideal choice for a PSD if he is interested.

Whilst i agree RI on the chill it doesn't matter how young we are if our skills are clearly the worst in the league and do not look like improving any time soon. One step forward 2 steps back is a tough way to go through a footy season, we need to see signs of continued growth and improvement week to week let alone season to season. Some one like Bate doesn't seem to have improved on where he has been for the last few seasons. Sort of there, plays a few good to eye catching games but then drops away again.

I think he might have already, after round 1..... It is tough being a forward with no ball but you have to take the chances given to you. Unless his efforts were round 1 like he would on Yodas current for get another game or two to see if he is improving.

Cheers DD Jamar's stats would almost be a career high.......

Carroll best on??? Did he play on the wing as advertised?

It is funny as we all know we are playing terrible footy but we at least want to see some light at the end of the tunnel. One week we can see something, then next we realise it is not light is a pile excrement we wander by down this tunnel. It seems one step forward and two back, we need to see progression and the first qtr seemed like a good progression, the last 3 qtrs were steps backwards. It is frustrating to say the least Anyone give a report on Robbie Warnock???? If he is to be considered in PSD, if he is interested, did he outplay Jamar???

Oh and how is Robbie Warnock playing for Freo? Is he beating Jamar?

Bloody hell.... Martin holding ball in Freo FF 50

Only 2 players at Melb have played every game this season.... Jones and Bruce..... God the radio sounds terrible!!! Turn over turn over turn oer goal goal goal FARK

Handballs directly to opposition players, leading directly to scoring attempts. Commentators can not believe the lack of skills and errors.
