jumbo returns

Who's pantaloons?

Name a replacement?

Don't bother - absolute disasters. The season starts on Saturday.

Bloody hell! WINNING!! Thanks, CHAMP.

If Neeld and co pick a 'play-on-at-all-costs-run-and-carry-team', this will be a good game. The pressure cooker is off. Schwab is gone - play with flair, boys!!!!!!

Ox would be welcomed back and Junior could assist Neeld to strategise a WINNING culture.

DL, I'm not a JW enthusiast by any stretch of the imagination, but until Dawes makes his debut, we need a tall forward. Make him run around without worrying about someone's tail.

There you go, stuie. Maybe Neeld is listening too? And learning? And developing, just like the players?

Being found guilty and realising the potential for closure may have been the release valve the Club needed. There could have been a real pressure cook situation and the Club would not have been a nice place to be around. Divided players, divided coaches, divided administrators. The CEO may have been the instigator of this environ....let's see what unfolds.

Cya, man. Take care. Don't make it too long.

Macca, is it possible that CS directed all the tanking list management that unfolded? Is it possible that players were threatened with their livelihood if they didn't follow the rules? Is it possible that all the players lost their creativity and were afraid to play well? Afraid to make mistakes, hence MN's address that 'mistakes don't matter?'

Come on, you can't write this and tell me you follow another footy team??? Deep down, you know you want to come back, yearn to come back.... Do it now

Hmmm not so sure - might be damaged goods now. The swimming team needs a new CEO B)

Wow! That's big coin....

On a lighter note, Black Caviar's little brother just sold for 5 million. I wonder what insurance on a gee gee like that would cost?

Magner is too slow. A side can only afford to carry one, slow, inside mid - that's Jordie Mac atm. Besides, he's not eligible. Tapscott, 2 more dominating weeks.

I think he instilled a tanking culture in the Club that had players shatting themselves. He had to go. Brian Royal should go now.

Interesting to see Saturday's performance......

AFL help?

Come back!

Mods...please delete. Too much graphic imagery

Benson, your ins are good, but run and carry will upset the Eagles Couch and Magner are sloggers and slow, slow, slow. Even if they get elevated, you can't play those with Jordie, so tough decisions will have to be made at season's end. Watts forward and stays there...I agree. Not a backman, now that he's been tagged. That's some solace that he can take away as opposition coaches respect his disposal efficiency. Gillies - out. Not sure about this chap. Bail, in....run, run, run. Swing Nicho, 2 x Jones, 3 x Jacks, Sylvia, Garland, Jordie, Tapscott, Terlich, Howe, Davey and Byrnes. Burst them out for 10 minutes each - I want to see a record number of rotations. There are enough bloody coaches to sort this out. Mitch to start in the ruck with Jamar forward, then swing around at the 15 minute mark. Hey, it can't get worse, can it?

There's enough pace on the list, but will Neeld be bloody, bold and resolute to pick a team that would stretch the Coasters? Pace, pace and more pace.

Oh dear.

And, ironically, beat West Coast over at Subi the following week. This game launched Robbo's career, Nathan Brown had a pony tail, Junior Mac and Stinga played blinders. I think I still have the game on VCR somewhere. Having said that, the midfield ran and ran and ran. Wonder if we can pick a quick team on Saturday? Smash the record number of rotations, bring the sub on early and run these p*icks ragged.
