NO ?? who this bloke Gardner on the phone !! what ?? ........................ he's THE Gardener !! ..........................from Jim's !!! oh..my mistake.. apparently youre right Jaded !!

we all commend his dedication.. not a question. Its his suitability to a role to take MFC to a flag, it comes down to ability...on many fronts. The record is not good, thats just a reality. All coaches are faced with various situations and circumstances, some coerce the lads into getting the job done...others...well others lose; its as simple as that really.

Prediction.. having reached 300 games Neeta will abdicate at end of year.. allowing himself to just enjoy his final year in 2008..possibly mentorig the heir apparent. There can be no question now as to who the next captian is.

Cant remember where exactly..butr recently mentioned in pres that Pavlich is ( or offerd ) extending contract. Thats him off list. Reiwoldt..on recnt and current form.. I really dont understand al the hype...he's good...not brilliant... a tad overated for whatever price he'd command. Judd..only real prospect in this bunch. Would make a valubale and interesting pick up ( understated somewhat!! lol ).. likelyhood ? we are in the line with all the others!! If it happens ...fantastic.. certainly wouldnt pin any hopes here though.

funny...sems most overlooked the most interesting ( to me ) aspect of that article. ...."We have never traded away a first-round draft pick in Neale's (Daniher) tenure, that has always been a long-term projection of his." Asked if that would change if Judd was available, Gardner said: "Probably...." I am the only one who reads into that.. we either...'won't be doing things Neals's way any more' ..or maybe 'Neale isnt relevent in 2008' just a thought.

lol.... yes we are Jaded...yes we are !!! Go Dees

before anyone starts puting som eof these players on teh th esupposed "do not touch list"...first ask realistically dis[passionately...are they really that good ?

I beleive MFC get zilch from an MCC member attending the G

my first...objective thought is...well.,...whats on offer ?? until thats answered..everything is moot. To all those beating chests and raving and shouting.. how can yo dismiss anything...til you know whats on the table ? Like many Id be loath to trade Robbo...all others are on table for me..as i repeatedly say..I couldnt really care less who is in the jumpers.. I want a winning cohesive team. That will take effort....and change. now please resume ranting

you feeling ok there YM ? that made sense !! :D

maybe the cryptic path !! is Juice in the mix ? yes/no if yes...then is he 426 ? if no ...is he 426 ? ( some of you might get that !! lol hehe ) :D

please.....nice to say please

trade Miller while he holds some allure ...for god knows what reason...to someone. Yes maybe he might fit a round hole on some other teams teamshett coz he's just a square peg in our s !! just a reality. Anyone who considered Miller a possible captain at anytime needs to have a good think about what captaincy is really all about.. he was never on any real list surely!! Try as he may..he just doesnt add anything of any real value to the teams performance. Not enough nouse to play back... no goal sense to play forward.. unsuited to middle.. Call me daft ( as many will ) there just isnt a spot for him. Was prepared to aloow him time to grow into some possie ( big of me huh ) ...but he's simply failed. why cant some get their heads arond this..its nothing personal..its just business..Football business..the business of winning. But wait there's more...he's not alone. Others will simply 'retire' or be convinced to do so. Some will simply pester the list til they do. Then we have a very awkward situation with players like Moloney. Yes by all means give him another year to come good ( hey its not smy money!! ) then if he hasnt come up...like a racehorse ( no..nt suggesting shooting ) just put to pasture. The cold hard reality ...is players on on the list to play, if for WHATEVER reason this isnt happening then they must make way, thats just what has to happen.

more the point it seems it will be a while before he ( Newton ) is anywhere at melbourne !!

there was a time he was given kick in duty.. his massive and then ( maybe now ) fairly accurate kick gave us great forward motion.. I for one would like to trial this again. .. lets be honest couldnt be worse than now !!

I'll have whatever he's chuffing !! great preview Sam ...... *wink* :-)

might be one of those twists of fate that catapult Neaves into the team earlier ( than some might have warranted ) but just in time to fill a need.

am not suggesting trading Beamer....just asking if he's ever likely to hit the turf at 100% on any consistent basis. If he cant...then the unplatable reality is he's a limited asset... like it or not.

I can think of only a couple of reasons for him being on the bench 1) he's not 100% or 2) to confound the match ups at the first bounce.. see who goes with whom...and then exploit the gap/mismatch. as the second seems to be a tactic not employed by Danners I can only conclude its the former...which carries more credibility...unfortunately.

that s the 64 dollar question isnt it...will he ever be 100% fit ?...just asking ..someone has to.

I like the lateralness of this.. not sure of its validity.. but cetainly worth a go.. at least he can kick !!!. be able to clear the first hurdle of "kickin barriers" Yep Jaded..wth ya.. Col to CHF.. i think i proferred that soemwhere else with mixed replies.. but its worth the try I think. leave Neeta at FF he has to take the No1 back then. another week..another roll of the dice go Dees !!

get off the hang Bohdan badwagon please fellow Dees.. Think..THINK.. some of you before engaging keyboards. OP doesnt happen over-night.. whatever was lurking was there before this bloke came to town. Lets take the up side. Jared can take the rest of year to get right with no pressure to perform before necessary !! hey ..its the season from hell.. ( appropriate in an unfunny way!! ) . Half full ppl.. lets take whatever seems a set back and turn it into an opportunity. In many ways the pressure is off of us... No one can expect us to do much other than push the re-start button and work forwards. The pressure is alwasy going to be now on whomever we play... :-)) Get better Jared..take your time... do it properly..look forward to seeing yo in the normal place in 2008 !!

the nature of playing well is to feed to advantage ( something we can only dimly remember ! ) playing the ball into a contest by choice.. is not clever footy !!

stuff what a captain SAYS !! people follow what a captain DOES !!!

Pj hasnt had the game mimutes that Russian has yet.. then a comparison can truly be made..apples v apples etc. PJ seems likely, just isnt yet.
