Spot on, we don't need a lame-duck coach ffs...it doesn't work

Judging this year as I saw it, it was an absolute embarrassing shocker But looking at it through my rose-coloured glasses it was only pathetic S'pose though we'll just front up again next year old dee hoping again for a miracle

Yeah that's what bothers me about Jaeger O'Meara. he can't play till 2013 and he's short for a mid. I don't want a 10 year plan and I think we have overdone the drafting at the expense of trading (be it players or picks). We just seem to be getting younger and younger.

Sheesh, I'd just be happy for ANYBODY to guide the team. They are [censored] rudderless

Hmmm pick 12 eh. Suppose we'll draft either a tall skinny forward who can't kick or a pint sized midfielder who can't handball. But they'll be elite if we just give them 5 years or so to develop, after all they'll just be kids and we all need to exercise patience if you think I'm pizzed off you'd be on the money

and don't forget the delectable Juice..........and then there's Cale

Yeah, time for our coach to make similar noises Errrr....hang on, wait a minute............coach?

and you complain of supporter mediocrity.......shame shame a losing culture feeds upon itself.......I want to see some accountability and a win.... a BIG win too

don't sweat it SD. it was a joke and he is one of my favourites B)

or he likes melbourne's off-field culture?

you must be blind if you think Davey hasn't been singled out for criticism

Nasher, you're not trying to tell us Morton didn't have an 'ugly' year are you? LOL OTOH there is a certain groupthink element here that says everything is really going to plan and we should all just wait a bit longer and have faith in the football department etc because they know what they are doing and it will all become obvious in time if we are just patient and stay positive.

or......you'll be eating your shorts

I hope it doesn't mean he can now coast for two years

He's already settled apparently with workchoices this is just about workchoices recovering money they have agreed to play the [censored]

Surely Sherrin must wear a large percentage of blame. It must have been foreseeable to Mr Sherrin that in the normal use of the ball someone could have got hit in the head. Making the ball oval only increases that likelihood and nowhere on the ball is there any safety warnings or conditions of use. Having two pointy ends to the ball only turns it into more of a weapon or missile than a true ball. A Sherrin in the hands of a Juice Newton is a recipe for disaster yet no-one is advised or required to obtain a Sherrin-kicking licence. The MFC should immediately start using lightweight rubber or plastic balls in traing until this disgraceful set of affairs is resolved.

At one minute to midnight for Bate it's a bit rich trying to reinvent him as a midfielder If the coaching staff thought he might have clicked in the midfield then they have had years to try it. Obviously they didn't think so. Time to move on, get what you can for him (GWS?) and give some other young talent a crack

Yes, a great story and inspirational And he wasn't Captain of the Scorps before the assault for nothing either

Hmmm.....maybe it says something about the average Demons punter that one wouldn't have picked? There again maybe Fev's got a lot of rellies logged on? LOL

WOW a 6% surge in a week. He's doing a reverse Julia

Hurley would have to be thereabouts.

Are you sure that's Bater? Hard to tell when its pretty much black and white. On second thoughts it must be Bater LOL

Yes of course, but one trade won't get you a rolls-royce midfield One mid trade, one mid draft, then Viney.....might be on the way for rolls-royce status?

Me too, but I'd settle for at least a Lexus one

It all starts in the midfield and we have been smashed this year Improve the midfield and the forwards will stand taller P.S. and I think this option would be cheaper than option 1
