This rant is from someone who earlier admitted he hadnt gone to see the team play since round 2.

Its like looking over a chasm. if we had Swan and Ball, we would be in the hunt. Or is it just their workrate?

Yes His dad Brandon was promised by and then hated BP. Now Rory has a big new house, dogs, darl and even the folks love going to Adelaide.Not coming back.

Redleg, Fan and ol 55 would be the ticket.

"I couldnt do worse" was Mark Neelds rally cry. But look he was.

Good on you genius. He already has stated he wants the whole board to stand down. Good strategy.

He would merge us on a whim. I would not continue my membership.

I grudgingly agree with Ralphy.(gutsy call!) I saw real effort from most to get around the contest although Watts never got within 2 meters of a struggle unless he was unlucky enough to not avoid it. Good numbers around the ball but lack of concentration with disposal. Too many kicks laying the ball across the foot. This may be explained with team goals (get it and kick it!) and im willing to see that. Its still sh!thouse but the playbook had a silver lining. Any team with Jordie and Joel is very frustrating.

Dont know if i have replied in this topic for a while. Now its me or Neeld. I cant take it anymore. Its my opinion that many senior players have decided to go in the past couple of weeks. Im off till he is gone. My family and dog will be happier.

I would think no other club would complain if we had an early pick. Its not like we identify talent.

Healy said at the 5 minute mark of 1st quarter that the players are mentally beaten. Anyone who thinks this coach needs to stay after today, just cant reason.

We actually did OK last week. I think we are a real show. I got on (again) at $2.20 C'me On Dees!

As late as last night we were favorites at $1.82. That price was in todays papers.

When things get seriously out of hand its time to do something. I dont know for sure if player managers are talking to other clubs, but its my opinion the drums are beating. If players were doing deals I believe it is this time of the year they shake hands on it. For example I would think Daisy Thomas would be negotiating right now not after the season ends. He is free like Sylvia. it was this time of the year that many believed Judd shook hands. Maybe not and maybe Scully just decided when he flew up to GWS on the day. But I dont believe it. Its worse if a player is out of contract but wants to go. Add this possible player revolt against the coach with now making excuses for future losses against Gold Coast. Its not like we would lose Winston Churchill. I had previously thought Neeld's path would succeed eventually... When I changed my mind, and he started feeble excuses it seemed he had lost the players totally. So should we wait untill round 16/17 before a change? I think we should consider what further damage we may escape if he goes sooner than later.

GC Suns now into $1.75.... I feel like Singo. WTF is going on?

We were favorites before Neeld pre-empted reasons for not winning. Then the money turned.Todays Age shows the odds I took. $1.82. After punters got wind of his weasel words in hope of keeping his position the Suns became favorites. If Mark Neeld was bumped off as coach before Sundays game I would expect Melbourne would be about $1.60. Got to wonder if players look forward to the "Gee up" before the match.

Just in case People think Mark Neeld was taken out of context, just follow the money. I backed Melbourne after Trengrove was out but before he waved the flag at $1.80. They are now not favorite and currently $2.00. Thats a very big swing seeing there isnt anyone else injured. So Im not happy but JC what a squib.

If i had one left I would

Mate of mine was playing Barassi (just closed) and Saturday night I went into Arts centre and wore the new scarff(its good isnt it?) on the train from Burbs with the Cats and Tigers filling the trains. Nearly took it off, as like many, I dont get jokes anymore and I worry for my teeth and sanity. But I wore it. Just. Go to Geelong they always have cockatoos flying over just as you roll your eyes.

It is an easy out to denigrate a proposition by asking a furphy merely to put a poster on the back foot.

I thought you said last week you were going to not support Melbourne (ok) and not be part of this forum any more. Fair enough, then there seemed to be another post 10 minutes later reaffirming that commitment to not tread these hallowed halls any longer as it was all to shocking. I may have missed where you reclaimed your spot in this shrinking universe of hair shirts but you seem to be not very sick. Now You really carry on yet again. I remember years ago where you said you had never been to a game at Docklands or any other away ground and asked what it was like. I wish you would [censored] off.

If Grimes injury is deemed longterm and Magner gets a well deserved game, Trengrove will be on very shaky ground.

Im happy enough for Tappy to get a few games in a row. Justifies my belief that i might be wrong.

I for one have hung up on friends, not spoken when football is talked and stopped listening to football media. Sometimes I wonder if im becoming depressed. Its a challenge to faith. Schwarta's on the couch filled me with hope.

Well not all of us are going off. Some of us are unsure where to step.
