I'll be there, but then I've been a masochist for 45 years Watching the Aints/Crows game, the Aints played a zoning game for the first half and got smashed. In the 2nd half they went man-on-man (they HAVE a planB) and with more accurate goal kicking and a little luck could have pulled it off. Sadly I expect melbourne to zone off as usual let the ball into the half backline like a Crows training drill and get smashed in the 1st Q. I can't see Bails having the guts to change his game plan and give the kids a chance to show some intensity, courage and close-up contesting. I hope I am wrong (sincerely). Definitely a time for line-in-the-sand but it won't happen if we play wide of the Crows

there hast to be be something wrong with the water at aami with all the improved facilities over the Junction we couldn't possibly go backwards so badly we should get the water checked post haste

well taking the tanking into account we should win more games(without improving) graph means little (esp when you indicate this year as some sort of improvement) move on to more meaningful stuff

Yes agreed, but wouldn't you expect the head coach to be responsible for who were chosen as assistant coaches and subsequently for their performanceat least to a substantial degree?

settle down Rhino and stop lecturing us with all your predictable spin I'll bet you were a prefect at school

No HT, fantasy would be saying Greeny will turn around his season next week and kick 8 goals

No thanks he's loonier than Sheeds I'd rather have a root canal without anaeshetic

Just a comment on Ricky. Yes he is good at finding the ball and marking. Its what he does with it then that bothers me. He doesn't always take the best option, he looks uncertain where to go and is not an accurate kick. Unfortunately he seems to undo a lot of good work. What do you think? edit:fat fingers

rightio......bex it is

Just to be safe make it a 3 quarter game starting at the 2nd quarter.

Sorry Snoop, but Tim Tams are out - gluten intolerant Any other suggestions?

WTF...................MFCFS

and notice how he is playing against kids?

I seem to remember here, that just before the draft there was a large number of posters (maybe majority) who wanted us to pickup Darling typical objections were, previous form (tsk, tsk) and not tall enough (ho, ho)

FS= Fantasy Syndrome i.e. our coach is the greatest, our FD always right, our new recruit will win multiple brownlows etc

I expected big things from Brad Green this week, and the week before and the week before and.....whats so special about next week? You want big things to happen then there's got to be big changes made....not the same old again and again

yeah, third that

Thank you so much BB59 for your concise and clear description of the Baily MFC game plan I had been wondering for 4 years just exactly what it was, or even if in fact we had one. It now makes perfect sense

a couple of points many are doubting the "progress of the last three years" it is fanciful to say "Baileys only mistake was to ditch Junior" - only mistake? "with MacKenzie and Scully being injured" - FFS we had our best injury position in the last 4 years (2 inj + 1 rookie) we were lacking a lot more than "poise and grunt in the centre" this was more than just "the INEVITABLE flogging", haven't you been watching the whole season (incl pre-season)

just wondered where "youse" all were at least you had the courage to put up a defense even if it is full of spin

where have all the "have_trust_in_the_FD,_they_know_what_they_are_doing" apologists gone?

I hear you.....but first we gotta find our "Dick Pratt" (need many spondulacks}

used to like him and had big expectations, but I think he has actually gone backwards from his first year I can't understand it, he's as slow and soft as treacle and seriously lacking heart. He looks like he doesn't want to be out there. Must have serious problems above his shoulders I think. I also think the club mollycoddle him too much, he needs to be told a few harsh facts. Maybe a new coach could "fix" him cos I don't think DB ever will

and I didn't realise we had any coaches, either on the boundary or up in the stands

good post soft coaching = soft team (its not rocket science)
