Getting a new coach is not a popularity contest.........sheez

probably true but I decided a while ago to let him have the full season to put his case as someone else said then there is the second issue - who?

no need to make a decision until season end - thats 11 more games at the moment IMO he is behind the eight ball but a lot can happen in 11 games

did tom actually say points 1 and 2, or is that your interpretation of what he said? not saying you are wrong but are you expanding a little?

Gee but you're a hard judge dee-luded

thanks for the info J84......lets hope so

Yes, but I find it rather pointless agonising retrospectively over past draft selections. And even if you do you'd need to wait till players are 22 yo or more This statement was clearly hyperbole There, thats my opinion and I didn't need to abuse anyone, let alone a new-comer whose opinion I might disagree with. I know....I'm really Mother Theresa Edit: added 'or more' to the 22

Well I must have missed something or it got deleted before I saw it Again, I'm referring to compared-with-others

Since when has the number of posts been a determining factor or even a relevant factor All you posters making reference to "first post" are just exhibiting typical bully-boy traits and you aught to grow up Oh, and welcome to the new poster, don't be deterred from having an opinion

Disagree on you isolating H. Others use the damage button just as well Unless you are not so impartial?

You're mixing up threads rpfc The gutting was referring to the Viney/Bailey thread

Yes, it has magically re-appeared minus some posts

It does cut both ways you know rpfc not referring to you but the behaviour you allude to has been coming from both directions

It effectively was. Totally Gutted

Its generally used when someone makes a defeatist statement the SS = Supporter Syndrome The opposite is when someone gets a little too carried away and says e.g. some new player will win 2 brownlows and 3 colemans this is FS = Fantasy Syndrome

What happened to the Midfield thread. Its totally disappeared. If forum rules have been breached that is not a good reason to delete the entire thread. There was some good stuff on there. Lets hope the mods can do what ever is required of it and reinstate it asap

LMAO :)

yep, and [MFCFS] the rose coloured glasses set

Ah, very good stuie

Lets see....we could have lots and lots of button.... Like.... [NFI] [Flamer] [Fencesitter] [Wacko] [Apologist] [TorchBearer} [TopPost] [POTD] [POTW] [POTY]......etc etc

that's ok, just thought it funny in context

well, not until you learn to spell.........

they can't sign an AFL contract till October anyway his comments mean nothing

By depriving JT of income through suspensions and fines they are encouraging him to focus more on the all important dollar so when he comes out of contract next year he'll consider signing up with the AFL's love child GWS. Very logical actually......

I always thought Jnr's retirement was a 50/50 decision The "good" side for Jnr was that he went out on top, unlike many others who go a year too many and somewhat tarnish their reputation. BTW I don't think such decisions (to retire/delist) should be left upto individuals. There is far too much money at stake. A player could be satisfied sitting out a year injured or playing in the magoos for $500k, esp if he doesn't have another career to fall back on. It would be impossible for a player (captain or not) to be totally objective about his form and ignore the money. And yes, the club could have managed it better....but then they admit that.
