old dee

Well it did not take long for the old boys club to swing into action with Gil talking about it being a courageous decision by Eddy and the pies to initiate the review. Gil defending was as sure as the sun rises tomorrow.

yes but only spilled over to the general public very recently, sponsor react when they have little choice. As long as it is not effecting them direct they look the other way.

It is barely 24 hours ago. Sometimes the results are not immediately apparent. You can bet some of them have been in contact with the Pies suggesting Eddy step aside as a minimum.

I am finding it very hard to disagree with the above binman, it will go down as a worst way case study for future generations.

No matter what club Scully went to he was never going to developed into a champion of the caliber of Martin. At that time we were picking purely on the basis of how players performed as juniors with little regard to how they would develop as senior players.

I used to think that a lot of the complaining about racism was compounded by people being too thin skinned. I now understand that I will never completely understand the feelings of a person who experiences racism because I can never walk in their shoes. Fortunately for me I have come to understand that most people with a skin colour other than white experience the problem on a regular basis. We have to do better as individuals and as a group.

Whenever his name comes up I immediately think of his and Trengove’s selections at one and two in the draft. We did not even interview the number three selection. That number has won GF’s and Norm smith medals. What a wonderful FD / management group we had back then.

Have you forgotten that Collingwood appointed these people to do the review. They were not forced on them by some outside organisation. Me thinks you protest too much.

It is the human condition!

One of the best or perhaps worst cases is the AFL. What the AFL badly needs is an outside appointed to replace Gil. But I doubt it will happen. Old boys clubs are only replaced with them kicking and struggling to preserve the status quo.

I don’t disagree with that. Having followed them for just a few more years I have been warned down to except mediocrity from the MFC. I look eagerly to that being a thing of the past. But have low confidence it will be achieved.

Ok that is what I was asking. With no training at Goschs, very few training reports and the Casey being too far for the media I have very little feeling on the vibe of the team. I was just asking how you arrived at the feeling. Lots of back and fro between us on very little. I hope are right by the way.

Sorry nosoupformebut that does not answer my question. How do you judge that? Do you mean you feel more urgency or do you feel that from what Max said,? Do you feel that from what other players have said or is it your gut feel?

Sadly I doubt it is SWYL.

I have to say binman you and aob are correct he is sadly part of the problem not the solution. He should be stood down after today. Just does not get it.

It is probably due to my view of this year in total but I don’t sense a team with more urgency at this stage. It may well be on display in the next month but right now how do you judge that?

Who is lifting the carpet and has the broom LH?

The question was who would not win it before us. Do you think we will win it this year LDC?

Dad has been living in Melbourne for some time I believe binman

It seems abstract for me LH let alone a pie supporter.

North, GCS, Collingwood, Adelaide, Sydney, Geelong, Essendon, Fremantle. Hawthorn.

I have been saying for months that this season will be disrupted DJ. It only takes one state to shut the bordet and all the plans get thrown in the air. Look at the girls comp. at present.

I really believe they will win a flag before we do.

I was not suggesting we do rjay. I just gave my opinion from limited occasions I saw him. It is tough to judge him on 2019 when he lost a lot of game time injured.

That is a very large lining BBP. I watch 7 without sound. They annoy me more than the team we are playing.
