Have you considered that reason the media gets into us is because we make ourselves easy targets. Our actions over years have hardly been good. Take 2011 for example, The VC is out [censored] the night after a game. The lead up to the 186 game. Coach is sacked over the phone. the Ceo is dropped on a Friday and reappointed two days later. A report is commissioned and the findings never released. No.1 Draft pick leaves after two years. The list goes on and with the media's need to fill hours of radio, Tv and Newspaper columns we provided them with lots of stories. Also Remember bad news sells good news is ho hum. IMO they do not hate the MFC we just give them way to much material. eg. If the MFC had beaten the Third worse team in 2011 on saturday none of the last 48 hours would be in the media. Again IMO this is a classic case of shooting the messenger.

I will say it again Actions are all I interested in!

My view is there will only be a couple of changes barring mystery injurys. I think Blease and Rivers will be dropped for Couch and Sellar Even though I think Sellar is ordinary he appears the only tall option for the back line.

I have been trying valiantly to stay off his back but he makes it so easy.

How about the MIOTW award Jack? It might provide I little light relief in what is shaping as a depressing year.

100% agreement from me DemonWA I purposely did not watch last night because I am over talk by the MFC. Actions are all I am interested in and so far the 2012 season is an E. I hope it improves but I am not holding my breath

Dee-luded Gysberts is missing from that list.

Go to the Dees web site it says Gysberts is out for 4 - 6 weeks. I believe them

You are right he can do a bit of growing while he is waiting And 6+ weeks means round 8 at best it would seem for Gysberts. Add in that he has not been in great form up to now and 2012 is starting to look like a disappointing year for him.

Still no sponsor though JT

Because we do not have the required skill level?

I think Pettard will be in if he is over his injury. But forget Jurrah till June if at all.

DemonWA he was as bad as people are saying. He is not the player of 2009 or 2010. He is playing the same way he did in 2011, poorly. The guy supposedly earns in the vicinity of $400 000 at present he is worth $50 000 if that. It is time to try some one else. A major part of our problem is the poor performance of our senior players he is the chief culprit. If Neeld's words mean anything he has to be dropped.

Yes it is not as though we have a choice. That was made by wiser football brains than mine. It is like the playing list, we have what we have and that will not change any time soon.

Yes why not. Time for some change and it is in the west so we can turn off the TV when it gets too horrible and no one will see walk out of the G in our Maroon and Blue scarfs

That was why I made my comment here Redleg but seems I am on my own with trying to keep the thread count down. Sorry you and me Redleg

So we would be third last with no wins instead of fifth last with no wins.

You have hit the nail on the head rjay. It is hard to pull your socks up if you do not have any on.

But don't we know what we are going to get davey has been playing this way now for 2 years, nothing will change. With Green and Moloney it is strange neither one seems to have been the same since the infamous 186. I am not sure if I just want revenge for the past year or I actually think they should be dropped. The problem is that our senior players have been letting us down for 2 years now. How much longer can we go on accepting this crap? Would there replacements do any worse? Will the loss without them be larger, probably but does it matter if we get done by 15 goals or 20? Probably not. So give them both a rest at Casey.

As I posted earlier Could he have produced less than Bailey? At least it would have been more entertaining over the trip.

Could he have produced less than DB? I doubt it And it would have been far more entertaining over the trip.

4 years and IMO we are in exactly the same spot we were in at the end of 2007. Be it less $5miilion in debt.

Some times I think we are world Champions at excuses simma02. when the truth is we are simply not good enough.

May be they are just not good enough. I used to try as hard as i could but the skill was not there. No matter how hard a donkey tries he will not win the Melbourne cup.

You are going to drop Green in preference to Davey or Blease!
