Rod Grinter Riot Squad

I was thrilled last month when Robbo was dropped for poor defensive efforts and not doing the team thing. I said in one of my comments on Bruce's performance that what he did this week at the selection table would show us even more about Bailey as a coach. Last game, we had a senior player, a member of the leadership team put in less than whole-hearted efforts with the defensive side of the game. They were unacceptable. This week, our coach had the chance to make an even bigger statement than the one with Robbo. He didn't. Whether Dean will be remembered as a Rohde or a Clarkson remains to be seen. But here, he missed a chance to really impose his game on the team. Dean - you have fumbled the ball.

Bailey for another year. If next year the team doesn't show a huge employment then.... Leigh Matthews.

That or a 9 year old.

Agree, though I was quite happy with Dean's appointment. Am quite worried he will be remembered more like Peter Rohde than an Alistair Clarkeson. What he does this week will tell me a lot about him. IMO Bruce had 3 pathetic defensive efforts. Robbo was dropped for similar weak efforts, if Bruce is then my hopes for Dean will remain positive. Thought he made a big mistake appointing Junior as captain and Bruce winning last years Bluey make me doubtful about Dean and those around him.

The chases in the 2nd were pathetic. Then there was the attempted tackle on Harry O'Brien.... Bruce should go to Casey for such weak efforts.

how many threads a day on the one topic?

Not a good thought.

He may be better than Miller, not Bate. He may yet become an AFL player, but I hold out no hope for him. I may be wrong, you could be right. I once thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

Thanks mate, gave me a good laugh. I presume that's what you were trying to do.

So far he has played as many games as NikNat.

Not sure about Tassie, but Western Sydney should go by the name of "Shooters"

Sure Jones has some areas of his game he needs to improve, kciking being one of them. But I see him as an invaluable member of the team. Does anyone else see the irony of a poster called 'Bruce Almighty' calling for a 21 y.o. to be dropped for turning the ball over, focusing on his kicking???

Thought he was going to dedicate himself to playing golf when he retired from the AFL

As a percentage of his earnings, he probably contributed more than anyone else in the room.

Think you'll find he was referring to the Lions team that won 3 in a row

Great work Diablo, Thanks.

Judd and TJ would be great. BUT If we lose pick 4 and Trav for Judd we have got a bargain

Of course it wouldn't. But if he did go to Collingwood he would have: -better training and medical facilities. -more of a chance of playing finals. -more games on the MCG than Carlton can dream of. That's why if he chooses the Pies over us it would make more sense than if he chose the Blues over us.

I reckon CC = Chris Connolly I also reckon he was hoisted on Dean Bailey who in effect had little say in his appointment.

I'm sure Geelong fans felt the same after last season and the first 5 rounds of this year. Let's just hope we can turn things around, doesn't have to be as quick but it has to happen.

It was 1988, not '98. A horrible day, as one who was there, I felt for the Port fans but was more than happy to see the record broken. What no-one has seemed to pick up on or discuss on either of the two sites is just how similar Geelong's style of football has been to what the Demons were playing in 2005 when we were flying and on top of the ladder. Then we showed how unable we were to be the hunted and ditched the game plan at the end of the year to copy the premiers. I couldn't help think today, what if? As I watched the Cats play to perfection a game plan we were using a few years ago was annoying, to say the least.

LOL. God I'm missing 'ology!

I'll be thrilled to see that record broken. Let's hope they lose it by over 100.

I have had no personal arguments. My post was expressing my disgust at Demons supporters buying a Port scarf wearing and wearing a Collingwood jumper. Sorry for showing some passion on the board. Premiers, don't post lies, I made 2 posts, is that called going at it all day?

From my reading there's no actual confirmation as only one person seems to have seen the report, Unless Raymond S did, but that's not clear from his post. I hope to hell it's correct but am taking this with some salt
