And people still call for Neeld's head. "Effort shouldn't have to be coached." This playing group is lamentably poor. No ifs, buts or maybes.

The board SHOULD be challenged, but the bigger question is: WILL they?

Fight it, take the 4 weeks, and come in against inferior opposition. That's the Col Sylvia way.

316, the Toump is clearly going to go better in a midfield that isn't 3rd-world. Clearly the best pick at #4. Hands down.

Would it hurt MN to go to another position within the club? I don't see massive amounts of ego from him, and IMO, he would be very helpful, if only in the position of opposition analyst, Senior development coach or something similar?

Was anyone >really< on board with all the off-season changes? I, personally, will admit I supported the Pedersen deal, but was very skeptical about Rodan.

Hooray! Free cash! Maybe that'll offset the farcical $500k fine!

At this point in time, with this playing group, I'd say second greatest. The greatest challenge would be playing in Melbourne's backline.

Even if it were Y_M, at least the 'experimentation' excuse would fly!

Cannot believe that the staunchest supporters of this club live and die by the biggest turncoat in the league's words.......

Except Nicholson and Strauss. If they're defenders, I'm not here.

To be honest, who on here rated Nicholson as a defender? He doesn't seem to have a feel for football, just another BP 'special'. Why the current FD rate him as a defender above Jetta, I'll never know. At least Jetta is a footballer, not an athlete!

Call me crazy, but I've found myself agreeing with Bluey on one point tonight. Howe plays like an absolute millionaire; best player in the U-7's. If he could bring some variety to his game, it'd be a breath of fresh air. His one 'screamer' today: made it look harder than it was.

I have a feeling our 'Ridiculous Expenses to AFL HQ' expense will be significantly down next year.

McKenna did his alone......

That's making the assumption that this board is competent. Big call.

First, you need the handful. As good as Mitch Clark is, he is but one man.

Not this week. At worst, I can see him being a lame duck coach whilst back room dealings are made for the remainder of the season. No self-respecting career coach would want to take over this rabble of a playing group.

The worst thing, IMO, to come out today was that there were still SEVERAL reporting lines directly from the FD to the CEO. Clearly Schwab still couldn't keep his nose out of football department affairs. Absolutely damning.

I reckon Demonland should take over, with a rotating roster. Hell, it's not like it could get any worse.

Put in AT TIMES today. Completely over him. Could not care less if he ever plays in the red and blue again. If true justice were to be meted out, however, there would be 'insufficient footage to place a charge'.

They've brought back the mid-season draft, then?

I would actually like him to say that. Finally treat the members with some respect.
