Pe tty having a mare

Petty 2 errors

His skills are terrible and you have to nominate who he will replace.... His days in the firsts are gone I;m afraidi

Reported as $300k

Couldn't work out why Yeo was on his own at most of the centre bounces...

.

Yes that was a great highlight. Magnificent. But he only had 9 kicks and 1 goal that game. And it was quite a few years ago now...

And Weid is out of contract. He may leave. How would our fwd line look then?

Dean Kent? The guy that can't get a game for the basket case St Kilda? Sheesh that's bizarre

You were expecting TMac to have an AA year then I assume? Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

They're playing for their careers as well remember

Pendlebury numb " i have never experienced this before" Have a chat to Nathan Jones chum, he's had 7 coaches....!

Ross Lyon

I didn't suggest that was his reason. You asked and I stated it could be a reason. We don't know. He's out of contract and someone could have offered him $850k a season. Who knows? He hasn't signed a contract with Melbourne. But that wasn't my point at all if you care to read what I said.

He's out of contract

This really isn't a case of Weid is no good/Weid is good. Or Weid 'haters' It also shouldn't be an argument about Weid being out of contract and we need to play him so other clubs don't poach him. For all we know he will declare he wants to go to say Collingwood and is performing poorly now because he knows he will be off next year. Not saying that is the case but it could be.... We all want him to be successful. He really should have shown more consistency by 5 1/2 years. He hasn't performed consistently at Casey even. Yes he is doing some team things. Well that surely is a minimum of what you'd expect. But ultimately he is there to kick goals and he isn't doing that. The fact is we have a Coleman winning goal kicker in the wings. A proven goal kicker. Yes he's older and probably not the same as he was 3 or 4 years ago but its a valid opinion to say Weid needs to go back and get confidence at Casey and Play BB in the meantime.

I have never thought Daniher was the superstar they made him out to be. If he could fix his kicking perhaps..... And quite a few lazy spots in his gamne against us. Didn't run and chase ...

I'd rather he could take a mark and kick goals

The TMac story is outstanding. Full credit to him. I am full of admiration for his focus and determination. But lets not sugar coat the fact that for 2 years he was absolutely terrible - even by his own admission.

Media going the full wazoo on Essendon last week - baby bombers mk 11 The Dees that knocked off ladder leading Bulldogs was younger than Ess as well.

Look, I think he's a bust after 5 1/2 years. Should he be given more time? I think so but not in the 1's. He should be ripping it up at Casey and bar one game I can recall he's never done that. We are probably all seduced by his finals game against Geelong where he attacked the ball and the packs and kicked I think 3 goals. He's never done that before or since and its like we're waiting waiting waiting for it to happen again. Well at some point you have to say It aint happening again. Or if it only happens once every 25 games or so whats the point? We're lucky that the side is winning. If we were losing the calls to get rid of him would be deafening. He adds very little to the team. He doesn't even shut down their best defender. Andrews had a field day last night. I hope like anything he can get his act together. But I think its unlikely at this point.

I am sick of the media. Just read the report in the HSun. Said Zorko would be stiff to get suspended (for a deliberate elbow to TMac's head!) but Tom Sparrow would most likely go - which would be ridiculous - Sparrow turned his body around to shepherd the ball and Rich ran into his back!

No question it is Oliver. Taken his game to another level. Outstanding improvement form an already high level. His fitness is highly underrated and his kickinghas imprived out of sight. TMac is an awesome story too.

"people' would complain. Nice straw man argument. You were backing them on OMac too. How did that go? Sam could be anything. He's a world better than OMac for example. But 5 1/2 yrs he has shown very little. Even Max showed something to keep himself on the list after 5/6 yrs. Would be interesting with Sam if we were losing games. The calls would be much louder for him to go and for Sideshow to come in.

OK so I'll ask you two questions. 1. What does he have in his game aside from the fact he is tall? 2. How long do you think we should give him if his exposed 'assets' remain the same?
