jumbo returns

JW will never lead. JW will never get the hard ball. JW hates to compete. No more excuses based on age and muscle - 5 years in the system, he should be ready, but he has no heart.

Reported this afternoon on SEN that someone (could be Footybet BS) has had a lazy 400k on the Bombers @ $1.10. 10% return on your money in 3 hours? I'd rather take 8% in one minute on Black Caviar - now that's a sure thing. C'mon Dees, get up! I have no sympathy for the person who has had this alleged bet.

Pman, you take care, as you've got quite a journey in front of you. May those memories you wrote about sustain you through this difficult time. Condolences and be well.

And Jose. I hope all is well, gents?

You're right, sorry. The boy is definitely one out of the box.

Granted. But, with the retirements/delisting/pushing aside of Junior, Yze, Robbo, Whitey, Green etc, he needed to see the writing on the wall 2 or 3 years ago and start stepping up. Stop playing the age card - Viney is 18 and is fierce at the footy. Something you-know-who lacks in buckets.

Jumping Jo G made sure of that!

I agree with your core, but put Watts in there too. Byrnes has played one game for this club, Watts has had five years.....

Has he just realised that this week? Sharp as a bowling ball.

4 of the above mentioned players won't be at the club next year. Let's start the cull now.

He is part of that poor culture and has no idea how to fix it because he doesn't play hard footy. For the culture to change, Watts will be traded at year's end.

'We' includes him, doesn't it? What has he done/shown to arrest this culture? Watts holds no rage for me - just a sad, soft, tiptoeing footballer.

Okay, so is he working on it? Culture? Or, is he sitting back and watching a player who has played ONE game, have 16 contested possessions, whilst he amassed two kicks? He is indefensible - I have no idea what you see in him as a player.

Well, he's saying that all the Melbourne players, including himself, accept losing. What a numbnut. This guy's getting harder and harder to defend.....do you agree, stuie?

What a stupid comment by JW to say we lack leadership - talk about sticking that chin out...

I'm watching Fast 'N' Loud....loving the show, but this is better

Add Watts, Jamar and Davey to that list. Keep weeding them out!

Weed them all out. These big headed pri*ks with their blazers and glorified status. Half these blokes are in love with being AFL footballers, as opposed to playing like AFL footballers. No pride, no guts, no determination. Do they think their problems will be solved if they go to a different club? Their ineptitude would be magnified x1000, as top clubs wouldn't put with shite like that from their personnel. [censored] off now. Play for Casey, you narcissistic, spineless, clowns.

RR, I like your posts, but Saturday night is about harm minimisation, not collateral damage. JW will never compete with Hurley......Hurley will beat him up.

Falls under the manic fixation of 'rotations.' I agree, it eludes me as well.

Spoke about a Plan B and stressed that sometimes it takes months, even years, for a game plan to become 'natural.' He admitted that the coaching panel 'swung some changes.' Maybe Neeld should try to give this pathetic group (with apologies to 3 or 4) their heads? I don't know, I'm starting to bleed again. Can't get Alice Cooper's song out of my head.

Watts? Sylvia? Surely you jest?

It wasn't too bad - I thought his speech on 'winning the contest' and getting into a contest was a good one. He stared a few blokes down. I'm a touch buoyed - it's obvious he hasn't got 'his' team together just yet.

Except for JW. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I reckon they're gone - psychologically damaged. One flag in 5 years with this list. The pressure on them must be enormous!
