old dee

Now Now boys I am sure there enough "nuts" to go around

I agree Macca anyone who now says that they expected this result is indulging in a grand case of revisionism

Spot on, the buck stops at the top eventually . Unless there are some positive signs by the end of 2012 a number of our board members should be doing the honourable thing and stepping aside. Five years for 3 lasts will be a very poor result.

Nasher I have seen him play some useful games however I cannot remember a game where I would have said he was in our top three. Useful player when at his best but I just do not see him as a valuable finals type player. I agree with RR unless he puts in some good ones in the next dozen games I doubt he is worth another contract.

As I mentioned else where mate who do you put in his place? Just shuffling the deck chairs at present. It is hard to keep a guy in when you get belted by 10 goals who only has 4 kicks and nothing in the last quarter. Whoever gets dropped this week is out for 2 because there are no Casey games for two weeks. Bennell could have a trip home to see the folks That must surely look better than traveling to Sydney

Hird won 4 games, lost 2 and drew 1 in the first 7 games of his coaching career. A lot better than 7 straight losses. Whatever way you want to look at the bombers they have performed much better under a new coach that the MFC

So on that basis rjay I can look forward to a rosie 2013? I can carn't I?

Deals is done at a pie, a coke too is way over the odds

Excellent return to good form DC Second smile for the day

Can you please convince him go home next year? Surely he is home sick by now. The south west calls

there was no hindsight by a number Bomber fans I know. They kept saying it is the coach that is most of the problem. Seems they were right.

Apology above mate sorry about that

Sorry DW I was thinking Bennell. It was me who had the wrong number.

Sorry Boss dog I was thinking of Bennell pays to engage your brain before moving fingers.

Mate he had no possesions in the last quarter and four for the game. Sure you had the right number?

Fairly basic tenant that one

I did not see that, but you have to wonder what they are thinking? My first reaction is "well they cannot blame us" But don't they understand how it looks to the Fans? I want players who spit chips after 9 straight losses not these smiling over paid under performers

If it takes another 2 like 2012 PaulRb the membership will be 20 000 and our major sponsors will be paying $500 000 for the rights.

Bd I think you are correct but the vision after the game did not suggest that to me. I know they cannot wallow in self pity but can someone tell them to look like they are in as much pain as us. Fake it because they lost me with that vision from Friday night

Sylvinator have you noticed we are last at present with a percentage of 56.8 I think 2 - 20 is a real possibility. We have a chance vs GCS and a chance of a split against GWS. The rest requires a doubling of our scoring ability to win. Seems fanciful to me that we will win six games. On performances in 2011 and so far this season our talent level looks 2- 20 to me

That is what the current agreement gives us wyl. What you ask for is illegal under the current agreement. 18th side Melbourne can only reduce total payments to 95% of the cap. If I was Sylvia or Davey I would be smiling too. If fact I would be laughing

Dee-luded DB Told us in 2008 we had to have a complete rebuild and that our players and game plan were crap. He was just as honest ( if that is the word). So lets not make out this is the first time we have heard that things have to change and that Neeld is the first honest person to coach the Dees. I have no idea if he is a good coach at this point. We are putting up such bad performances how the hell could you tell. What I see is a large number of our players have never played so consistantly bad. Not sure what that means but it is not a good look for a new coach at this point.

I agree Macca By any measure to be last after seven rounds with an average loosing margin of 8+ goals Is a bad result no matter who is at fault. I did not expect to be 7 - 0 but I hoped we could have won a couple of games by now and that we could be competitive against most of the teams we have played. Not sure how long as members we are supposed to keep coping seasons like the last five before we are allowed to complain. I say enough is enough [censored] loud and clear. Can it make us worse? I saw on replay Our team out on the ground well after the Hawks game all smiles and congratulating the hawks on a great game. Now that really pisses me off. Shake their hand and get off the ground. Does not appear there is much hurt in the Dees after another belting. If the boot had been on the other foot would the Hawks be all smiles? No they would be inside imediately planning the next encounter.

Or incredibly loyal! Keep it up Striker the dees need you like never before

At this point it looks a three way battle with Clark added to your two. To answer your question I would think NO. The fact that he is a real chance even at this point says a lot about our list
