  1. Rumour?Herald Sun? Andrew Bolt or Susie O'Neill? Mark Neeld who drafted M Jones, Terlich, Hogan, Dawes (yet to play) Barry? Clark and Kent (who may play?) Everyone asked for a hard nosed coach to make tough calls and now everyone's wringing their hands. Maloney refused to comply. Rivers was RFA Pettard? Couldn't get a game. I notice you didn't mention Morton, Martin or Bennell....all NQR. Signing Jamar for 3 years may yet prove to be a good move as it'll give Gawn and Spencer time to develop further. One thing I agree on with you is that we will beat GWS.
  2. West Coast are a 10 - 15 goal better side at the moment. What's so hard to understand about this?
  3. Okay. Caretaker coach? Alternative? Realistically, who would you get? Roos won't coach, so move on there. Ratten? He left Master Malthouse a wonderful list there.....0 - 3 Craig? Part of the Neeld regime, so would have to go if Neeld is deposed. Viney - doesn't want it. We're a laughing stock already - if Neeld is sacked, we'll become unequivocally, totally, insignificant. Damian Hardwick had a great first year, with supporters calling for his head after they were 0 - 9. Neeld must be given a chance.
  4. Spuds, all of them. BP, DB, the recruiting managers need to be held accountable for their picks and lacking in due diligence.
  5. Watts - enough said. Sylvia, poor pick in a poor draft year. Morton over Dangerfield, Masten, Rioli Gysberts over Talia, Lewis Jetta, Fyfe. Our recruiting team couldn't pick its nose.
  6. Exactly where they were supposed to? Absolute rubbish.
  7. I wouldn't go for either.
  8. Couch and Magner. Slow and slower. Does anyone really, truly think that these two would have kept up with Priddus, Shuey, Kerr, Ham, Gaff, Masten, Embley or Waters??
  9. Ever thought our draft picks are not the players the selection committee thought they were??
  10. Exactly. We've kept stats on our training indicators for the last two years and this is pathetic. Mission came over with stats from top teams and we were so far under the top teams, it was disgraceful. More science in our development and players need to accept responsibility for that.
  11. I agree, poor kid...he'll be anything.
  12. Yeah, it's veiled optimism, DemonOx. I just thought, today, there was flair and some good skills on show. Most of our players are still too lazy and will need to lift another level to compete/stay in AFL footy.
  13. And, in that 2nd quarter, our forward press worked and the Eagles were under pressure. Having said that, West Coast are a terrific team and have too many big guns, for now... Darling....(shakes head)
  14. Saints touched them up and Scully's copping bronx cheers.... If they win, they win. Today we unearthed Evans (who was good) until he ran out of puff. He's only 20 and coming back from a debilitating back injury. Matt Jones is a real find. Ro Bail was great - I hope the kid's head is okay. Dean Terlich must play every weak, as he has a crack and his skills will improve. The penny may have dropped with Sylvia and today he really stood up. 3 Jacks were terrific. Big Mitch is getting better and Nathan Jones may yet win a Brownlow. Neeld is the man.
  15. This is my one and only post on Jimmy Toumpas and I'm directing it at the recruiting panel. FFS! Ollie Wines said that HE WOULD LOVE to play for MELBOURNE!!! Great friends with the Vineys and great mates with JACK!!!! Imagine these two in the middle!! FMD! WHY wasn't he taken?????? Sorry for shouting. Breathe in, breathe out.....
  16. Easier said than done. Opposition teams still do their homework on our players and watch how closely 2 or 3 players block his run at the marking opportunity. This has happened to Jack Watts in his first two games - he has been tagged heavily to stop his delivery.
  17. Sadly, Rangey is no more....
  18. Man, you need to get back to work... Curriculum day, Monday?
  19. I see the game differently. Run, play on, play with flair. If we go man to man, or zone, WC will bury us.
  20. Slowest players going around... There's no room on the list for 3 slowies.....Jordy Mac, Couch and Magner.
  21. There aren't that many around with proven track records.... Sheedy?? His ego might push him into the gig. Clarkson wouldn't come. Ratten's terrible. Scotts aint going anywhere Mark Williams? Maybe.... The problem is that the game is changing so quickly that anyone out of the game for more than 3-5 years struggles to pick up the tempo. Apparently Woewodin is going really well...but, he's embroiled in some drug controversy.
  22. WYL to do the media... Old dee to be Number 1 ticket holder and coterie host... The Song Formerly Known As can be our speech writer... and Moonshadow to take over from Brian Royal. What a powerhouse!!!
  23. Bit of run, here.....
  24. Oh, nice. Bit of circle work, some handball drills, run throughs, then a few beers
