    On Nathan Jones - yes he was shut out of the game and is something he needs to work to overcome but my question is who is there in our midfield giving him a chop-out?
  2. Dr. Gonzo
    Sylvia streaming forward, Pedersen fails to push forward to create the overlap, Sylvia hand all's to a stationary Pedersen who is immediately tackled cost us a goal. There would be at least several more examples if you went back and reviewed the tape which is why I put today's loss solely on the players heads, not Neeld's. He should have moved Watts forward earlier though as he was clearly struggling (again) down back and we struggled to find targets up forward.
  3. Dr. Gonzo
    The point was that that happened under Bailey not Neeld sorry if it was unclear.
  4. Dr. Gonzo
    Nah I disagree there - there was improvement today in the structures and systems we had. Still issues in the centre square and our skills and decision-making let us down but I thought there was improvement today. Today I thought was a better effort in this regard than last week (minus the last quarter last week). If our players play the percentages more often and take their first option instead of trying to set-up the "perfect" play we would have at least broken even with Brisbane and likely would have won.

    Didn't he get dropped from the leadership group after he got blind drunk and [censored] on the bar? Anyway there's already a thread discussing Moloney, what I'd like to know is how people think Neeld coached today? I didn't think he was too bad and if our skills and decision-making abilities weren't so poor we could have won.
  6. Dr. Gonzo
    Like those who have criticised Moloney said he plays well against poor sides and plays poorly against the competent sides. We are a poor side hence he played well today, no surprise. Really? What issue exactly did you have with the coaching today? I thought he should have started Watts forward but he did eventually make that move other than that there wasn't a lot more he could have done. The loss today was on the players heads today if they played the percentages more and made less stupid errors we would have won today.
  7. Dr. Gonzo
    Not only that but he rarely gets a chop out from a third man up or players filling the space for the forward to lead in to. He wasn't too happy with Terlich on one occasion today as he hadnt worked back to fill the hole allowing an easy lead-up cheat mark to Brown. There's times where he hasn't been up to scratch but today (and last week) he did his job. There's others I'd be looking at well before him (for instance McDonald who needs a run in the 2's).

    Well clearly I meant their supplement program re: the use of prohibited substances was more systematic whereas JT's alleged use of the cream containing AOD-9604 looks like a one-off.
  9. Dr. Gonzo
    I meant it more in that Trengove's appears to have been a one off whereas Essendon's (possibly our) supplement program was systematic.
  10. Dr. Gonzo
    I don't make the rules, I am only explaining to you what the former head of ASADA stated and what the WADA code states.
  11. Dr. Gonzo
    Look I agree with you and there is clearly a difference between being given a cream and systematic injections of supplements/drugs to players as happened at Essendon and possibly us also. I'm just putting out the info I know and trying to get to the facts of the matter while still hoping we are left unaffected by this.
  12. Dr. Gonzo
    I don't disagree and I clearly don't want Trengove to be penalised (although I would query the doctor as to what it was I was being given) but I am just pointing out the official line. As Ings mentioned in the 3AW interview the players have resources available to check this stuff including the AFLPA & AFL medical commission and could have called ASADA themselves. The average person may not do that but then the average person's career isn't jeopardised by taking the wrong thing.

    They're not really "kids" they're adults who can vote, drive, drink, join the police force and fight in overseas invasions. They are ultimately responsible for what goes into their bodies and it's the same for all professional sports around the world who adopt WADA's code.
  15. Dr. Gonzo
    DC's only 26? I always envisaged him to be of an older vintage, no offense DC.
  16. Dr. Gonzo
    Yep that's the reaction you have to all my posts. I guess you're right, it is easier to just post that instead of wasting your time dribbling a bunch of long-winded crap.
  17. Dr. Gonzo
    Haha yeah right, irony - more like a way of trying to ridicule someone when you can't use facts or logic to create a coherent argument. It's the internet equivalent of "I know you are but what am I?" Now go and post more hypocritical rubbish about negative lynch-mobs looking to tear the club apart with their buzz-words while every other post you make is lobbying for the coach to be sacked.
  18. Dr. Gonzo
    Macca, do you agree that Moloney had severe deficiencies to his defensive game even before Neeld came to the club? Do you also agree that for a player whose game was built on attack he failed to hurt the opposition by impacting the scoreboard often enough?
  19. Dr. Gonzo
    Yeah that's being completely disingenuous, McLardy is part of the same admin that's been in charge since 2008.
  20. Dr. Gonzo
    No it doesn't. WADA/ASADA have continually stated the onus ultimately falls on the athlete to ensure anything they use or ingest is compliant with the relevant drug codes. Saying my doctor gave it to me is no defense.
  21. Dr. Gonzo
    Trying going back a little further mate.
  22. Dr. Gonzo
    How long has the current admin/President been in charge for? Now compare that to the current coach/FD. I agree that Neeld is skating on thin ice. You can't expect to be totally uncompetitive and there be no repercussions. However I think he deserves to at least be given until the second half of the season (and in my eyes until next year) to see if the team can improve its performance somewhat. On top of this I think the club would be mad to get rid of Neeld without having an experienced replacement (like Eade, Ratten, Williams, Clarkson, Roos etc) lined up. No point turfing out Neeld only to get in Scott Burns or some other inexperienced assistant who is going to need another 2-3 years to develop the team his way. At least with an experienced coach we know they have what it takes.
  23. Dr. Gonzo
    No what you intimated was that I was incapable of forming my own opinion based on my own observations but rather was just bagging out an ex-player because of some statements made by the coach. I treated your posts with the contempt they deserved because you were incapable of discussing the matter on its merits.
  24. Dr. Gonzo
    The links to the various newspaper articles in the thread as well as the none-too-subtle inferences made by some posters. Others have said they have seen her leaving prior to matches as well - you would think if she actually enjoyed football she would stick around and watch the matches, not just turn up to do her pre-game muckraking and [censored]-stirring and then run off before the matches even start. Whether she praised the supporters for turning up or not is irrelevant (one thing I will say though is that at least she stood up for the club when that moron Tony Shaw was saying we should be playing our home games at Punt Road).
  25. Dr. Gonzo
    A cream can definitely be classed as a drug - rubbing it on your skin so that it is introduced through your skin pores is the same as swallowing or injecting it.
