jumbo returns

What about recruiting another Jack?

Easy Django.....improvement under Neeld? Where's this heading???

Our backline is to be applauded for their herculean efforts this year. Phew! Talk about fast tracking development!

How was the 50th? All good?

I'm not passive, I'm measured. Having said that, I'm also seething that our experienced players fail to lead on the field. I'm seething at our poor fitness levels. I'm seething at our recruiting - the Prendegast high picks that went nowhere. October will be my Grand Final.

Agree...but it will happen on October. There will be massive changes to the playing list. If Neeld didn't give a stuff, Barry, Dawes, Clark, Hogan, Terlich, Jones, would not have been recruited.

Yep, some of them are just no good.

Neeld was also frustrated at the more senior players not doing the right things. I remember a conversation I was having with a friend of mine who played cricket with Bailey. His words were thus - 'Bails is not worried about the youngsters, it's the established players he's [censored] off about.' Perhaps that residual still lingers.....

I've been debating this point with you last year t_u and I was all for keeping him. But, today was almost the last straw...clapped all the players into a huddle, watched them break, then kicked the ball to himself and passed it straight to Jolly. Game over.

Perhaps you can start with the pirouette?

Cale Morton says hi.

Jack Darling says hi.

Absolute bs. They're just not good enough at sustained pressure and passages of play - yet.

Perhaps he didn't agree with the media coming into the room? Remember, he got stung badly Round 1 last year. I think he's more savvy that many give him credit. I also believe that he's been mentored on leadership and management. He needs a chance. Results are not the be all and end all.

There's your problem.

Two vulnerable targets at the moment by a hysterical media. The ALP and the MFC. Fmd. And HH just keeps clapping and saying 'Right on!!' - any chance you can think objectively for a minute??

It's not just about salary cap - it's also the capacity to hold onto our required players and throw some coin at landing a big fish.

It's okay I googled it. As soon as I saw it was from Greg Dumbwit, I switched off pretty quickly.

What did he say?

Stop twisting it around, stuie. I'm talking about high draft picks.

Surely we need a verse from the book of Revelations??

Yew! I don't want to sabotage the thread but Anthony Banic was a shocker...

In his WCE days, Judd was a freak - despite the fact that he won the inaugural 'Demonland Punchable Head Award.' Liam Jurrah lit up my life for a couple of years. Jeff Farmer was amazing. Tingay was the hardest going around. Garry Lyon. But Ablett Jnr is the most amazing footballer of the modern era.

F**k it, get me a midfield and I'll coach!

Not our current list. Not yet.
