I`m always there! Couldnt be any uglier than today could it??

I agree with you on most of this and feel the same pain. However, how can we blame Bailey for lack of hardness and elementary skills. We know they can play his gameplan as witnessed against Freo 2nd half and Tassie for the whole match last week. The hardness was awesome last week and the main reason we were in the game. We simply have a bad habit of playing out of our skins one week and failing miserably the following week and it has happened for years! Remember Adelaide flogged us the following match after our Freo game of the millenium.!!Maybe we need Robbo to come out and announce his retirement this week and we will come out on fire against Collingwood?? Saints getting flogged by their coach and media didnt help our cause but the fact that we had a blinder last week had me quietly expecting a pasting today. Just didnt think we would be so soft though!

Yeah I guess he has got to come in if he is fit, regardless of his attitude. Personally , I`d like to see Maric replace Robbo. Just not sure if he is gunna get a game this year unfortunately. I do not think Juice would get a game at another club just quietly.

I managed to get through it. Good to see the club being pro active and hearing our thoughts. They are obviously desperate to find out the best way of attracting more members and retaining the current ones but I `d reckon it would cost them a bit to do this survey!!

3 Bate Sadly missed in first 6 rounds and is getting better n better. Will win a Bluey within the next 3 years 2 McLean, Started us off in the 1st quarter with 13 possessions and was efficient all day without the usual clangers 1 Take your pick , Davey n Aussie awesome, Moloney best game for a year but I`d give it to Garland for stopping Buddy today. Most thought he would kick 10 today including myself

Agree wholeheartedly! In fact I am speechless at our supporters lack of spine. Fair enough to those with kids playn footy or interstate fans but anyone who didnt go cos they couldnt be bothered should be ashamed of themselves. As Brian Taylor said during the call Melb fans are pissweak for not making a statement today. Excuse the language but they were his words! :angry:

Must say I walked away feeling very proud of the boys today. Gutsy effort all day and pressure all over the ground which i reckon shellshocked Tasmania today. Positives everywhere. Only disappointment was the turn out to wave of Nieta, ordinary!!

No they did not say much else sorry?Im as surprised as you are! Gotta go , Seeya at the G

I think they would have killed us regardless in the centre. Good chance to see how Jamar n PJ go together as they are the future(well, its debateable if Jamar is the future, but he needs to stand up today!). There were also murmurings from Chief about another BIG out from Tasmania Hawks but did not elaborate!

MMM about 15 mins ago! I am unclear on Yze, thught I heard something earlier this morn on SEN about him but the White Jamar mail is straight from the Chief`s mouth

Mark Jamar in for Jeff White. No word re Yze though!!

I could be wrong but thought I heard someone on SEN (Davey maybe) talking about the return of Ben Holland and Adem Yze bringing loads of experience back into the side? Did anyone else hear anything or was I (or D avey) dreaming?

Was he playing for Port Melbourne or Newcastle Knights??

Expecting a very agressive first quarter from our boys after Nieta gives them a rev up B4 the game. Although we probably will not sustain that agression for the match we will go down fighting this time and personally I`d be happy with a anything better than a 6 goal loss. Cam Bruce to play his best game of the year.

What`s the frequency Kennett?

Kosi might be a good pick up. I think he may be coming out of contract but I am not sure. Has had an ordinary year or 2 so his stocks may be low at the moment but I reckon he has some great footy left in him. Would make an awesome CHF for the D`s

It is pretty sad to say but on current form I don`t think any of the Leadership group deserve to be the next permanent Leader of our club! On form alone this year Brad Green has probably been the most consistent performer despite being dropped from the leadership group but he is not Captain material. Help me out here , I am seriously scratching my head as to who deserves it right now!

David, In almost 40 years as A Demon tragic I reckon I can count on 1 hand how many players I would put in the ``Superstar `` category and you are one of them! Not since Robbie has anyone`s heart beat more true ! So many amazing memories for us all to carry with us, but for me , the hit on McCabe and resultant goal was one of the most inspiring bits of football I have ever witnessed. Rest your weary bones Neita and all the very best to you!

I honestly can not recall a game where he has played well down back. Every game that he has stood out in he has been a leading CHF! eg Freo last week , and Freo in the 06 final! He is clearly not a backman. As one who has been a big critic of Brad`s I would love to see him prove me wrong! He just may have a future if only he gets to play in the forward line for more than 2 to 3 weeks!

I think you are totally wrong re Picket, sure he had a shocker last year but he was very important in several of our wins early in 06 when we needed some toughness! I doubt we would have won a couple of those close ones if it werent for him. Anyway, there is 1 other bloke that was the biggest flop of all who has not been mentioned yet. I am not surprised because if you blinked you would have missed his career at Melbourne after a reasonably handy one at the Dogs. None other than James Cook who played a total of 3 games in 2000 before he decided to hang up his boots. He kicked 8 goals in that time and from memory 5 or 6 came from 1 game!!

- Seeing Matty Bate on the park - ongoing improvement from Cale - Seeing some more debutants play this year(particularly Maric) - the aftermath of Round 6 - Robbo not waiting til junk time to present himself! better still , Robbo dropped! - Natanui

Our percentage has gone up each week !

Thre is a sneaky chance that both Carlton n Richmond may win more than 5 games this year. Carlton are certainties next week. Natanui is one step closer to becoming a Demon

I believe Rick is out for 3 more weeks injured! Give Buckley another run. Hell all he did wrong was turn it over. (Can anyone name more than 2 players who have not turned the ball over with pthetic skills??) At least the kid had a crack and took the opposition on every time and was not afraid to carry the ball. Not many blokes want the pill out there right now. Hopefully Bater will be back and surely Moloney??Robbo must be dropped . If he keeps scoring useless goals in junk time and thinks he`s done his job I am gunna lose it !

He has a pretty ordinary record I believe. Regardless, I reckon the AFL may well throw the book at him. 10 weeks easy !
