His wrist was also a problem. Any word on that??

1. Give me Neale's Win loss record anyday over what has been served up since. 2. The club was essentially bankrupt with a useless Board. We had extremely limited resources. 3. Our recruiting was very ordinary. Having said that we were also a bit unlucky with guys like Nick Smith and Luke Molan. Why we would agree to recruit BOTH the Cockatoo-Collins brothers I do not know. 4. Gutnick should shoulder the blame for a lot of it. He went to the AFL and squealed on cap breaches that cost us 2 drafts effectively. We have never recovered in that 24-28 bracket. 5. Daniher certainly did not play young players and left Yze, White and RObbo around for too long playing games when they did'nt deserve them.

Too right. And we lost LG because we didn't do a good enough job in trying to keep them. This represents a fantastic opportunity to a have a serious, well credentialled, well cashed up major brand. It's a great get and we have too work a lot harder on managing the relationships than we have in the past,

Dont wish to derail the thread but I dont think so.

Interesting to hear MN say that Sylvia was right to play yesterday but the club decided to enforce its Rd 1 suspension of him given his injury ultimately meant the disciplining exercise was redundant. I am happy with that. Could be the making of Col. Our most frustrating player bar none...

66 stellar games.

The only people who think the MCC has an elitist culture are the sad people who want to be in it but aren't. There is no the remotest thing elitist about it. Its simply a good place to watch football and doesn't have mindless swearing or drunken violence because you lose your membership. And if you want to wait another 27 years they 'might' let you back in.

Wow. great result. Obviously looking to launch the brand in Australia. Should be some great marketing opportunities. Where does that leave Volvo? Let's hope we schmooze them big time and keep them happy.

Our midfield has been diabolical. Beemer is one of our best mids. If I was Neeld I would want him in there.

Well we are short of positives ATM so I'll take this as one....

Wow. Bi-polar comes to mind....

Can I have my thread back. You guys that want to argue about inane crud go and start your own thread.

Different competition for PA. Not relevant. I guess the CC was the forerunner to the VFA and AFL.

Thank God we didn't take Lewis Johnson. Maybe we just had too many Johnstons/Johnsons ......

Ok I have calmed down... You can have your opinion of course. I can't agree with it though. Pigs ear silk purse.... You can't shine a t&*(....

Would that be the game where we got the ball into our 50m zone 30 times?? One above our all time low? Yep crucify him. He's a hack. Imagine if we got it in there 15 times a quarter? Imagine of we had midfield that could deliver the ball to a forward?? Good grief.

Just to make it really clear for you I think it is neither. It's group think.

How exactly did we tank genius? We were ahead when the siren went. Or are you saying we stuffed that up as well ha ha.

Shame. What if........

There would be 38 separate groups.....

Hey why don't we trade him to GWS for a 2nd round pick. Ha ha ha ha

I saw something similar but it was with Daniel Jackson. We had three in the centre and a Melbourne player (forget who) raced into the middle and left Jackson free on the wing. Before you know it Jackson had it and was streaming fwd. Rabble on field organisation.

What a ridiculous statement. I started this thread to seek out a discussion. I imagine every club is different due to the personnel they have. And IF I was coach I would want the ultimate say in who gets drafted BUT coaches tenure is notoriously short so a club can't rely solely on a coach otherwise you could end up with a new coach coming in and throwing out the previous recruits. But he has to have a key say as his is the most accountable position of all. BP on the other hand can walk and say syonara and we are left holding the baby

Hey here is an idea. Why don't we gift them some games. It's done Morton the world of good...... Ask Dean Bailey his thoughts on it...

Neeld is not teaching us to kick to a contest (face palm). He is trying to teach us that it is risky to kick down the corridor as turnovers kill you. It is more prudent to kick down the line to a teamate. The problem is our teamates don't run and spread thus the kicker has no option BUT to kick to a contest as it is safer than the corridor. Big difference.
