    no he's not alone... I must confess i did not hear the whole interview...only the main sound grab....but it was both lamentable and contemptable that such a buck passing effort should occur so early in the season. The buck starts and stops with him.

    Forgive me brehtren and sisters....this does not bode well. The season didnt start on friday it started many weeks ago when his lordship instigated this mania masquerading as a game strategy. It did not work well then, it hasnt all along. Is he waiting for the loose bike chain to suddenly jump back onto cogs simply by perservering ? There were times last night when is was laughable. Players werent aware of where the ball was or where it mught be delivered or from where. The ball all but fell on a group at one stage such was their disarray.

    One can only hope that that was a serious wake up call; yes already. Keep that up and we wil be playing catch up footy all season.

    ND must realise he is on thin ice. That this wil be his last season if he continues to deliver that cr@p on and off the field must surely be some component of his thinking. has he used up all his tricks and now canvasses any folly as optionable ? Lets hope not. I'm hoping he's better than that. I can only hope ...as in all the years he has been at the helm he has not shown this supporter he's capable of much more, certainly not at the very highest level. He wil lneed to nip it in the bud immediately for if it were to continue even for a short while some may sense he's for the chop and then all cohesion goes up the race: ....season over

    now before you all acuse me of ultra pessimism...I'm not. But I am entitled to be observe and decipher as i see it.

    Go Dees ( but go a lot better than that )

    well including the nab fiasco and some practice games..thats either 4 or 5 games depending on what you actually call a game, that we have persisted with this you beaut bumble and fumble game style, with very little to show for it.

    Is it too early to suggest the fat lady is warming up her bell tolling skills ?

    well its got me stuffed what Oozy actually has to do ( or NOT !! ) to be dropped...he better do something to repay Danners faith...as many of us Im sure have none left for him.

    If the Sainters are to run rampant it will be straight through our Half backs... Miller at CHB must have Lyon smiling !!

    It wont matter who is on our backline then..

    not as confident as Id like to be...

    it al really shows that the AFL are really "serious" about drugs.. they seem happy enough to allow it surrepticiously...throw lip service at it..

    As they seem so concerned about inferences of collusion to pervert the outcomes of games...aka 5 dollar bets on self...then the only way to put everyone on an even footing is to adopt the same efforts as athletics etc.. ..random dope tests at games. otherwise surely drugs are impacting results , even adversely more than any penny enny bet might.

    I think its marvellous that Ben is geting the help he so obviously needs....However its a profession apparently..and he ought to accept all that means.. There arent to many work environements where drug use is tolerated.

    Cant help but feel he's brought it all on himself ..poor diddums !!

    a question to those better informed...

    Am not for one moment suggesting Cousins is indeed guilty of drug offences, thats for courts and such to decide.

    What is the AFL's stance regarding penalties for drug offences of the nature suggested ( but not substantiated to date ) to have happend in the Cousins instance.....i.e should a player test postive for substances such as Meth Amphetamines etc.

    does the three strike ideology still apply..and what happens at the third strike ?

    Surely something of this nature must bring the game into disrepute. The AFL seem remarkably ( if not typically ) quiet on all fronts

    On a personal front transgressors should be encouraged to and assisted in getting help.

    On a professional footing, dismissal is the only outcome, zero tolerance.

    you may or may not have read by now that the prinma national Aussie netball comp will be disbanded in favour of a trans tasman comp with 5 teams apiece from Oz and Kiwiland. basically one per main state

    http://www.theage.com.au/news/sport/game-e...3548111934.html

    so what now of our clever alliance with the Phoneix ?? do we make a run for the new team whatever that is ??

    all in all it was a sound idea...hope it can rise again like...dare I say....a Phoenix !!

    BRAD MILLER

    gee..its started early this year.....

    Miller.. Physically capable..

    Miller... mentally not there. ....and by that I mean ...not that he's a fool or anything..he's not.. but he seriously doesnt have the mettle to back himself in the role of CHF... he always places himslef where he doesnt need to kick..or go for goal.. I really think he just doesnt like it. On the few abberant days he has..he has shown a whole different side...a good side . But it just vanishes and the bad ol' Miller style creeps back.

    You CANNOT have someone up the front half of the ship who is goal shy!!... other teams know he is..and allow him to move away from the goals..after all what damage does he do then??...instead of linking e actually adds another kick into the equation and its often that one kick too many, time for a flood etc. He costs us !!

    am looking forward to hearing ( or reading ) a report from someone who actually saw the game.

    Anyone would think we just lost the prelim by the way some are carying on. It was just a practice game. Many of our real movers and groovers were not playing. if this was say round 7 and was showing to be apttern...well i'd be less than heartened but in the great scheme of things this game matters not one iota. Roll on game 1...now that one matters !! happy winning dreaming you all :-)

    deep breath everyone.... ITS ONLY PRACTICE !! lol

    remember what practice means....to try things..to practice them. Ok some ideas may well be duds today, thats all.

    A few get blooded, some get more game time...

    but honestly...I am as quick to blast a crap performanc but thats not what these are all about .

    ahhh...only a practice game !! Danners will be trialling a couple of lads.. seeing how a few 'plays ' work...or dont...

    He'll be seeing if some have still got nigglies and wheter a few paper matchups pan out to the green.

    A win is better than a loss...but its nothign to get too worked up on :-)

    go Dees

    rhino...i thoroughly understand that point.... However they didnt...they simply placed bets as we all can. Betting on yourself is hardly conflicting. I do agree that they shouldnt as it may 'appear' a conflict.

    The point i was making is that in itself isnt ILLEGAL.. many things others have done IS !! The AFL has a strange pecking order.
