funny that....about our midfield coach wasn't he the backline coach last year who turned a good backline into a leaky boat? of all the asst coaches replaced i couldn't understand why choco was kept

yes, we have heard all that before but no details what were the actual issues between DB,FD and CS? why were the players involved or how did they even know of these issues? what about the secret report we have never heard about? did it play a role? and again how were players involved in this and why? I didn't want to know all these details when the great reorganisation occurred assuming it was no longer relevant but now it seems that something is still festering in the player group, else how could you explain their their apparent inability to cope. I could be barking up the wrong tree but i smell a rat

give me the reverend any day over this train-wreck with more backup staff and top training conditions now, how good would ND be we are a loooong way from even producing anything like nd was able to deliver that's reality

Now I would really like to know what was behind 186, because whatever it was it is still festering away There seems to be some unfinished business going on here

did one hitout goto a teammate's advantage? dropping the ball at your feet is ineffective and predictable very average performance

hard to fault that old dee i seem to have hit that same low point usually i find something to enthuse about which keeps me positive to a point but the prospect of being back where we were (or probably worse than) when bailey arrived has brought the bile back into my mouth paris (or anywhere) this winter is looking good

Trouble is who do we replace them with? Sounds like you are talking about bottoming out again and rebuilding again. You may be right but will the club survive another 4 years of being a bottom dweller?

There's something else going on here The stink emanating from our playing group just can't be put down to bad drafting or bad coaching Or can it? Something is drastically wrong. Players are going backwards, no leadership, no fighting spirit, no desire, no stars, no good skills, no brains. This group is totally demoralised. I have no idea why but it is becoming a recurring nightmare We now have a new coach, new and more assistant coaches, some of best training facilities in the comp and yet we go backwards I give up, I feel this sense of hopelessness now more than at any time in the last 5 seasons C'mon players give us something, just anything to feel positive about

as i suspected. you say drop bate regardless of how he played today in one Q i'm not one to defend bate but 10 possessions in one Q was (much) more than anyone else achieved

I say forget f...ing game plan and just play the rest of the year man-to-man

I'd prefer we start winning some games or at least turning up before we worry about icing on the cake

Pretty soft. not even worth a free Player was rotating when tackled, taken to ground fairly softly But knowing our luck with mrp..........

not much to discuss DL

why would you drop Bate. He had 10 possessions in the last Q. OK he didn't do much damage but there were a dozen worst players than him

3. Magner no-one else worth a vote

Jamar was terrible. When he did get a hitout all he wanted to do was drop it at his feet in the middle of a pack....sheesh

Unfortunately only one team turned up today to play football Can our players run or do they not want to run? It sure beats me

actually i thought they looked a little smaller this year.......still weird though;

Still a lot of Big Shots haven't put their cahones on the line yet You know who you are, just do it, if you want any cred when discussing how we went after season's end And MODS can you please lock thread just before today's kickoff

God had a mother? Did you get that from wikipedia?

yipee! more threads, longer threads

Um, footy is not a game, its "more than a game" B)

I hate the shepherding in the ruck In my day any use of the arms to impede your opponent was a free. Led to much cleaner ruckwork

but there is incorrect disposal B)

that's because he is also on the (provisional) interchange bench for the seniors that's common practice until the final list
