jumbo returns

HH, according to your posts, Neeld has 24 hours left at the club. Personally, I don't think you know jack.

I rate Caddy, but he's struggling to get a game in a star studded line up.

Fancy that! A player puts contract talks on hold. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-05-28/no-rush-with-adams-talks

2 games? Didn't you say this 2 games ago?

We lost the last half by 20 points to a genuine premiership contender. Structures were in place, but not executed properly....yet. The time will come. Neeld has big plans for Blease and Strauss....he is taking notes to sort this list out properly.

WYL, I'm not following you around, so don't think this is creepy.... I see your tone has softened as you have a clearer understanding of where we're at. 24 hours ago, you were screaming for Neeld's head on a tray. Don't be seduced by posters who think Neeld is the problem - he's not. We have too many players that are in love with being footballers, rather than coming together for a common goal. We're getting there and I'll do everything I can to help this club.

I believe you, but I'm not sure about him. Are you saying he has integrity, ethics and empathy? If so, why would he leak something that would have been divulged to him in COMPLETE confidence, yet he chose to leak this info? All in the name of ratings and gathering uninspiring kudos on his behalf. Just because he's quite eloquent, writes with a poetic cadence, is in love with a horse, doesn't mean he's not after headlines and muck raking. Pull him aside and have a word with him if you get a chance.

Pathetic and simplistic. Is that all you've got??

Not a slap - reality! If our narcissistic, lazy, pre Neeld players don't see what's required, get rid of the lot of them!

I support this Club. I support Neeld. My son can see a new direction and he is rapt. He was maligning the culture years ago. The sky is not falling.

Strauss has had such a disruptive start to his career, I'm glad that the poor kid hasn't sustained any psychological damage.....He and Bleaser are recovering from leg breakages that take more time to heal than a knee reco. Look at Michael Barlow who is just now hitting his straps after nearly 2 odd years. I reckon Strauss towelled up Nahas, broke a few lines and hit a target! I think (hope) he'll come good. Magner still worries me......

Gerard Whately is just another journo that is at the mercy of sensationalism, relevance and spin. What a crock of SH$T!

A big thingy in front of a ship?

I want Neeld to stay. The four candidates you've mentioned took a long time to forge a pathway to success, with the latter 2 being replaced quick smart. We are not the only club that is going through rebuilding or relevance issues.

Not a bad line up......

Appreciate the sentiment. In turn, your analogy of the 'chasm' growing is sadly going to come to a head. Neeld will probably get the sarse, but those players that avoid standards, lack resilience and true professionalism in their demeanour will stay. And, probably destroy another coach.

Leigh Matthews once said that to win a premiership, everything must align....from the president, to the volunteer who turns the sausages. Players must take some responsibility.

Easy fix? Head hunt the best what? Players are the ones that need to kick to a target, handball to a player IN SPACE, kick goals from 30 WITHOUT PRESSURE and run hard together. Another hard nosed RDB? Players will sulk and start 'not buying in?' Please stop your constant parroting of 'Sack the coach' - have a long, hard look at the LIST! Apologies for the capitals.

There goes that pipe dream. Surprise, surprise. All players aren't like Scully or Caddy.

Okay, how about this? Can't do polls, but here goes..... How many people seriously consider Freo a premiership hope this year? I certainly do. What about looking at the respective teams....10 midfielders to our 2. Swans, the same. Doesn't matter what Healy or his spud offsider say, we're rebuilding and this is the case. Please let's have a debate and respect each other throughout this discussion.

Big bump Tappy!

How the hell did he get drafted then??

Hawks by 20. 15 minutes to go. 93-73

D.I.V.O.R.C.E

Big body mid...he's big across the hips. Clearance player.
