Viney is already ten times the player that Trengove is.

lol at the Gold Coast fans cheering the ball hitting the post and going through. Goal!

It's amazing how Port has gone from the list no-one wanted a bar of, to a team on the rise with a star studded midfield, all in the space of one season.

Sadly that mantra means nothing when it comes to this club, because it does give up, regularly, and sometimes very willingly. That said, Port is a lesson in how quickly you can turn things around with the right people steering the ship and everyone on the same page. We absolutely must nail the coaching appointment(s).

Melbourne is now the club of choice for hipsters, who chose it for the sake of being different to the mainstream clubs. We are kind of like the Grateful Dead of football.

Dear god man, abort!

Please god let Strauss show something. I seriously need something to inspire me out of this game. I'll take just about anything.

Not a huge out given his form which has been very ordinary of late.

Bird goes to FF with Lyon as the crumber. Yep, I like where this is going.

Can make that rumour #426 about this side. I saw him and Clarke having a laugh on the field yesterday, looking like best buddies, and they supposedly hate each other too. I wouldn't pay much attention. Watto's been bowling very well actually, from memory he's been the most economical and taken some vital wickets. Just needs to contribute with the bat. I like him dropping down to 6. I think he could do well there. He's never convinced me as an opener. (We better not turn this into an Ashes thread btw :D)

lol..I was wondering when someone would mention this. I had a good chuckle at that. "Go Reiwoldt!" he shouts, whilst wearing his Melbourne clobber. I wouldn't put it past whoever made the ad to be deliberately trolling the club. Either that or he didn't know the name of any Melbourne players. What can you do except laugh..

In fact stuff the game, let's talk Ashes.

Thank god, and we've gotten on top early too. Gazza's finally getting some reward. Nice little haul in the first innings.

At least it's on at the same time as Swans v Filth so there shouldn't be too many witnesses.

Not really. I do not like mob mentality and I see far too much of it on here, at a time when we should be showing support. We're all worried and we're all hurting. Can you really blame some irrational thoughts entering the head with the last decade this club has had?

Will be interested to see how Strauss goes if he gets a run. My enthusiasm for this game pretty much ends there.

Jumbo - just to confirm, you think PJ plans to move the team and you want Brett Kirk to be the senior coach? What happened to you mate? I remember you being alot less...nuts. Has supporting this club finally made you crack? Would be understandable.

You wouldn't know it's understandable judging by the responses in this thread, alot of whom have launched into the OP like a pack of teenage girls. Yes it's premature, but it's something at the back of the mind of alot of Dees supporters, and the ones who say they haven't thought about it are telling porkies. A bit of empathy for a concerned fellow supporter wouldn't go astray, but that's never really been Deeland's strong suit. Attack and shame seems to be the go to option. Some "community".

Upgraded but not named. Neeld-esque .

Good luck to him, well earned and overdue. Can we just clarify early that those who are supportive of this decision do not necessarily think he is the solution to all our midfield problems? Seems to come up EVERY SINGLE TIME so just wanted to pre-empt such comments.

You know things aren't good when the only excitement the club can offer in good faith relates to the design of the website.

Would have to be at least $10 to raise my interest.

I'd rate us even with GWS for worst in the comp. With Frawley and Dawes, I'd still back us to beat them at the G, just. They've certainly hit a little purple patch, and the result on the weekend was expected, but Brisbane at home should account for them fairly comfortably and I'd be surprised if they finished above us given their run home.

Reports that AFL will confirm Hird IS bound by Anti Doping Code, with ASADA report to confirm hexarelin use. Uh oh James.

Okay, will get the message to him post haste: "Frosty Demon says you need to fire up". I think you'll find a more receptive audience to this nonsense on Facebook.
