SO long as there was some logic to it because I too am bewildered by Aaron's attitude since mid-last year. Doesn't want to be here. Looks lazy and uninterested.

Everything about West Coast is sus. Don't use them as a poster child.

OUT: Bartram, Green, Morton, Blease, Moloney, Davey, Bennell, Job lot. Gone., Find me 20 players in the VFL that attack the footy like Magner and Jones.

9 head high tackles. We are just stupid dumb people on a grassy field. Can't bring myself to call them footballers. Watched a few games on the weekend. None play the kind of *%^&$(_) we play week in week out. other games are actually enjoyable contests. You are witnessing the killing of a football club. The players, coaches and staff are all responsible. I want my weekends back.

We have STUPID FOOTBALLERS. We gave away nine frees for Head high tackles. DUMB We had ZERO tackles in the fwd 50. Not ONE. We continuously miss targets from 20m. We bomb the ball in long to a 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 contest. We have midfielders who do not run, chase or tackle (Magner and Jones excluded). 78 inside 50s to the Eagles was the 4th highest on record. Brad Green had 4 kicks. Enjoy Casey Brad you'll be spending some time there. WHERE IS THIS HIGH LEVEL OF FITNESS WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE DEVELOPED OVER SUMMER?????? If the players are trying to kill a footy club they are going about it the right way. They stink.

Cheney was delisted.

All we could do. I don't mean to sound like an I told you so but the dogs were barking about this guy well before we took the sponsorship on. Shows how desperate we were (and are) for sponsors. Interestingly it could make a great story for a WHite Knight company to come along and say " we applaud the Melb football club for taking this stand and hereby agree to replace their sponsorship". One can always hope. Geez and I said yesterday that the Davey story wold blow over because there would be a new story out today I didn't think it would be us again and this of all things! Aargghh. We must have killed a black cat or something,,,,(nothing racist in that!)

Gold!

Didn't he just sign rescently?

What? To be fed to the marauding media pack? Neeld is right. Kill the story. Move on. We have nothing to gain. It's an unwanted distraction. We play West COast and that is going to be hard yakka.

Davey's 'grievances' seem to have started early on last year. At least that's when his level of disinterest and commitment to a contest started. Who could forget his game against North before he was injured....

NEWS FLASH Neeld has gathered all the redheads at training today to tell them to put sunscreen on as the sun is out. Outrage at the Herald Sun over blatant discrimination....

I'm not sure about that, It's a well known poltical tactic to deprive a story of oxygen. If you don't feed the monster it can limit how long people talk about it. If you respond to every little angle because a journo demands to know it then you prolong it for an infuriating amount of time. Tomorrow there will be a new story that takes the back page away (please!!!)

Just by the way, if Neeld did happen to address the indigenous boys as a group why is this racist and why is everyone up in arms? Are we being a little over-sensitive?? Yes I can see that it would be seen to be treating them differently because of their race but the indigenous boys identify as 'brothers' and a collective group. They will offer each other support and make their way to each of the opposition indigenous players at the end of each match to shake hands and chat. They freely talk about themselves as a collective unit. Is it a case of double standards? Not saying it is or isn't but it's hardly a hanging crime is it? Paul Roos got away with saying indigenous players have less endurance and hardly a word was muttered in protest yet I personally would find that more offensive. But what if it's true? Why is it that the last 30 or so world record 100m metre runners have been black? It it racist to say that they are better runners? Or does the evidence simply overide that?

Davey has to play this weekend now doesn't he? Last chance saloon altho if he fails again then he will no doubt blame it on the furore that was created by the AFL. If he gets dropped the wagons will circle again saying "it was true, the leaker was Davey" The easiest and best way to resolve this is for Davey to play a blinder but sadly I don't think he has it in him. He checked out a year ago.

QUOTES from the Hun Asked yesterday why the source had fabricated the story, Mifsud said: "It was a number of weeks ago now and it was in a broader context in regards to where he's at within his current life, the demands that have been elevated at the Melbourne Football Club and a whole range of other personal circumstances which I'm not going to go into. "And I think he acknowledged last night that he'd put a series of conversations together to articulate what, at that point's time, I was very clear on what he was saying but subsequently he's now denying." So, not only does he pass this confidential information on to Thomas, he further inflames the situation by telling us about Davey's private life and he dislike of the training regime. FCS shut the F up you moron. Any of us would get sacked for the same indiscretion. Double and triple standards. Poor matt Rendell!

His body language and performance screams worse than that - total disilliusionment I would say. Lift your game flash. You are there to do a job. Do it.

"When I was at Coll ingwood we didn't worry about tagging midfielders" - Mark Neeld. Wow.

Davey has now been outed as the leaker to Mifsud. (he denies it) The way he is playing and his body language screams "I am peed off and want out". The question is whether it is untenable or salvageable.

Clearly Mifsud has been telling quite a few people some untruths.... Matt Rendell should fell very hard done by.

This is the problem when you have an AFL indigenous office or whatever he is called. They look for something to do to keep them in a job. And pretty soon it gets murky. Reminds me of the climate change 'scientists' like Tim Flannery who are paid by the Govt - whoa, guess what? He found out the world is going to fry us all........ And those University researchers in the UK who get 17million pounds a year to research climate! So what if they changed a few emails and alter data to come up with their bodgy conclusions.....

Wow. Watch the game again. I cannot believe you will walk away with the same opinion.

spoke briefly to Bartram and Joel Mac. "we don't read the papers" they said. A good thing too. Didn't see much else going on outside.

Blease was cooked. Watched him on 3 occasions coming off the ground and he was a goner. His fitness is not there yet. His burst through the centre was tremendous, Shame he didn't kick the goal but that is exactly the type of play we need. Bennell should be that type of player well but has to date been largely disappointing. Ditto Bail although Bail has other strings with his endurance and close checking.

Yep. That's why Luenberger and Hudson killed us.
