New coach prospects
Well........... There's probably any number of preconcepts to think this guy ought to be some cod eating [censored].... but they might be the same sort of preconceptions that ought to suggest we're at least a top 8 team with street creds !! And you'd be wrong I think in both instances. Imho. I kept waiting for the moment where the viewer could be forgiven for ridiculing this narration but sadly it never came. I can't help but feel the vast majority of what he said was entirely valid. I find it always interesting to listen to non-Melbourne folk , who do have some decent understanding of the game , analyse and discuss our 'great' club. He may not have always hit a nail on its head but neither was he unfortunately ever far from the mark. Yes , it was an opinion piece. We all have one. There were any number of facts though within that ought to be concerning for many of us. He's dead right about Clarksons mob giving a master-class in how to dismantle us. And we ought to care as I'm bloody sure other FDs were scribbling notes. And London to a brick we won't be much changed when we meet these other clubs. We're 2 for zip atm. We might go 3 and O and then joy of joys the Kitties at their litterland !! We are struggling for traction. We might not get ANY !! Back to that Bluebagger weatherman ... Is he just reiterating many of our grievances?? Quite possibly. Does that make them any less valid ? That's a No for me. Whilst too early to panic we should be taking note of all icebergs and where the life-rafts are. Not seeing blue skies ahead. Now some will dismiss any and all seeming negativity as just plain bad ju-ju but it's not me creating it.... it's that lot out there on the other side of the boundary line( plus a few in the box )... the ones running around. One of the few teams we've beaten in recent times, the Suns , are actually favourites currently... and on OUR turf !! That's not good. Why do I feel like I'm on the Minnow... again GO Dees... please... get going.. start whenever you like... ( now is good 👍 )

Time to go Goody?
The question I'm intrigued by.. Take our list..... then imagine any or all of the other coaches were to take the helm. What would our team sheet look like... how would we play ?? If you think there'd be no difference... well,you'd be kidding yourselves. That's a reality. Now you have mentally travelled down that road... what do we think ? 🤔

Tbh I've never quite figured this guy out ,as a player. If he were an actor I would describe him as quite talented, has shown his craft in a handful of 'roles' but for the most part just pops up in cameos . His Oscar came in the big dance of 21 but since then has seemingly shunned the limelight and performs increasingly enigmatically. I seriously wonder at times if his true passion is actually football . Happily trade him.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
I hear what ya saying 58. I will offer a caveat on ODs behalf . I know for a fact he has watched many a Magoo Match. I'd be very surprised if he was writing anyone off without considerable thought. JVR looks like he belongs out there....but he's still raw. I too am not convinced Jeffo is going to develop a lot further. But as you rightly suggest... he's young. I'm not.... I can remember when Neeta first came on the scene, Ox too. They showed something special. Jeffo.. 😒 🤔 Obviously time will tell
