Rod Grinter Riot Squad

So he hadn't seen them play? What was he doing before he came to us, going to the netball? Stick to telling me how great a kick and committed a clubman Bruce is.

Hardwick did and now we have so many here praising him. Cracks me up too when Brock and Bruce are held up as examples of him moving people on when they walked out on the club and him. Meanwhile we miss rookie drafts to keep spots for Newton and Meeson. Reckon if I took a dump and told you all it was chocolate enough times, you'd start to eat it.

Well Nasher, your recollection is wrong. The culling occurred after year 1, only after Bailey realised how wrong he was in regards to the state of our list.

Removing Trav isn't exactly a culling. Only call of any note he made when he took control. Compare that with what Hardwick did at Tigerland. Bailey planned to do well in his first year, neither he or his list were good enough

Serious? Hardwick was critical of our list, shown the door. Bailey was talking them up and things went pearshaped.

You are kidding aren't you? Bailey is under the pump big time, rightly so, reckon he's gone myself. But to blame him for Davey's performance is just pathetic. Not quite as pathetic as Davey's squib or non-existant leadership, but still pathetic

Very soft of you Hard

When Bailey got the job, he thought we had a list to make the finals and have a crack. He failed dismally in his first year and only then did he look at the youth path.

Post of the year, thanks for the laugh

Also make a sign, about A3 size that reads "Free Jack" and take it to the game.

R.I.P The tackle Once a loved part of a tough sport. Murdered not long after the death of close friend the bump.

Can't believe no-one has included Chunks goal in the last!

No he hasn't. He plays the odd great game and goes missing. Can anyone recall Col playing to his ability for a full month in his career? His second and third efforts are often lacking, sometimes non-existant. As Rhino said, 100 games plus into his career and Sylvia is still talked about in terms of potential.

Last four drafts... Bit early to comdemn them I'd have thought. I can remember RobbieF leading a chorus of posters about how we'd wasted a draft pick and how we should cut our losses and delist James Frawley after his second season.

The one decision was just the final straw for me. I hope to god I'm proven wrong and many things that have worried me in the past is more to do with tanking and then development. I've found myself looking for reasons not to jump ship in the past and that patience was wasted. It's on short supply here and Dean used the last of it.

I'd prefer he was dropped, a bigger and clearer statement. That said, this was the one round I'd have cut him some slack and hoped playing against the kids of GC would help his confidence.

Dean showed he was ruthless with the tanking. It took balls and was very ruthless. As he was with cutting some of the older deadwood around the club. That said, he lost me when he named Watts as sub this week. I've been unsure about Dean and sat on the fence for a long time, but I don't think he has what it takes. BTW Hannabal is psot on.

Crazy decision to play him and just as crazy to use him as a sub. He needs game time, either a full game in the seniors which he hasn't earnt or better yet a full game for Casey

We can just block him? Brilliant. Doing it now

You were probably one of those clueless ijits that gave him grief when he was caught with the ball, after receiving a handball while flatfooted and surrounded by 4 opponents. He was disappointing today, but to say he was the worst on the ground by far tells us more about your knowledge of football than his game. I thought Rivers was our worst by a long way. Joel Mac and Maric should also be embarrassed with their games.

Was going to compare him with Bruce. Could be anything but...

Showed a lot of promise in 2009. Forget last year. Will be the revelation of the season.

Great work Clint

I can't wait till we play the Hawks. I've been waiting for years for Bruce to consistently kick it to our players and to put some pressure an our opponents. Looks like I'll get my wish

If it's for TV, it's for a 30 second slot.... finances. It ain't perfect, but I like it.
