Thanks as usual for updates KC What's the story on Cook in ressies? Noticed not in best.

Yeah, like Scully has no options. Yeah, lets draft some more youngsters so they can walk when their 2 year contracts are up Yeah, lets go back to the draft so next year we can have an even younger side than we have now Yeah, lets build everything around the draft so we can wait seven years for the players to develop while getting smashed in the interim For someone claiming to be a positive supporter you are in fact a dedicated defeatist FFS we need to TRADE for proven players to restore some balance to a very dysfunctional group

Spot on green_machine A good midfield (and good midfield coaching) make forwards look good and take the pressure off the defenders Can't be over emphasised

HTF do we know YOU go to the games? Just because you say you do? Do I think there is a possibility hangon007 has bent the truth Yes ... does he have past history ... YES See.......two can play your idiotic game too.....acts like a troll, sounds like a troll.........

I don't think there should be any captain.......until someone obviously steps up.......whether it takes 6 months or 2 years. They can all take it in turns to toss the coin Teach them all a lesson about leadership and accountability Time to throw away the velvet gloves and dish out a bit of tough love

The BAD news We were shyte again today The GOOD news We won't have to worry about bottoming out first before rebuilding the list

How the hell will Lyon fix this sort of issue in the next 6 months or so We have what we have, Gary doesn't have any magic wand to undo draft draft choices or transform the profiles of existing recruits You may have a point in what we should have done re recruiting, but Lyon can have no affect on those choices now He may be able to have some input into what "types" we should be recruiting this year but recruitment manager isn't the job he has been given The one who should have most say in recruitment requirements for 2011 will be the new coach. Lets hope he is well on board before draft time.

GWS can still have him easily - next year Only GWS can trade him this year. If they don't care to then they can pick him up next year as an 18yo because they have so many priority picks As for their 4 x 17yo trades, there are plenty of other nominees and they have two years to use them

I expect they don't plan on playing him for the rest of the season Don't risk any injuries and get a good pre-season into him?

If we can't get Neil then maybe a lot of Tiger Balm might help??

So why not play him in the Scorps reserves even if just for a half He won't get fit watching the others run around

Good point dee-luded

You are a genius hangon Thanks for sharing that little insight. I'd never have thought.....

To be honest his words weren't twisted by the press HE was the one who twisted the words by putting a high degree of spin on them HE was well aware of what he was saying and the reaction it would have in the media TRUTH is he was complicit in the tanking and should have kept HIS mouth shut my 5c worth

If it was "within the rules" then that just means that there is no rules covering tanking

Agreed, a red herring The hankook logo on the jumper is one of the most prominent and visible in the AFL must be other issues???

Move TF on....nothing here to slit your wrists over (if you have any left that is)

nice little reference to skiing lessons!

Wow, did he really say that? What an insensitive, dumb thing to say. Sooner he is out of the leadership group the better.....no idea.

There wasn't much innocence in '66/'67 at Medley Hall either edit: speelling

Correct its called Outcome-Management

Agree with you Rhino about not looking good I said a few days ago that something stinks and has for most of the season re players, wasn't LTs supposed to give players a reasonable moderated voice and resolve any tensions. I get the impression someone has been throwing petrol around with players. Points back again to the leadership group

I don't know how much of this is truth, guesswork or hyperbole.......but the blood between the Wilsons and Schwabs is known to be poisoned I'd prefer to remain a just little sceptical still until more 'facts' surface

I'm with you HG BTW where were Leading Teams through all this? Or are they part of the problem with players playing politics?

I find it amusing that a whole lot of rumours and allegations have somehow become 'fact' We need to be cogniscent that some rumours may be true, some may be wrong and some may have a grain of truth We must avoid just assuming that they are all true and let them go unchallenged I have NFI which ones are true but I prefer to be sceptical unless a poster provides some corroborating info A lot has been said about players being upset with CS or the 'administration' but so far I have yet to see anyone specify just what their complaints are. For all I know they are complaining about a lack of soap in the shower rooms.
