Manger stays in. At least they are setting up one on one in defense and standing goal side

That probably does it for me... Just say down at the game and I read this

Just watching Travis J against the Saints - there's no substitute for class... lots of other problems, but a ton of class, and on a rainy night when the heat was on, he delivered

Remember listening to a close one on the radio driving back from somewhere in the bush: Tim Lane: "Somehow, this mob just find a way to win" What I'd give for that to be said about us now - It seems that "governance" isn't just the bull$hit bingo word that some on here thought it was. The performance of the Club under this board is truly dreadful.

The inaugural award went to Diamond Jim Tilbrook - and other past winners include Big Carl, Templeton and Moore, and more recently Watts, Scully, Trengove and Viney (and soon Hogan and Toumpas). The saviour mentality is strong and ALWAYS fails. Honour before Honours, folks - that's the fundamental the CS didn't get

I don't know whether Neeld should go. It is true that we have become inured to failure; it's extraordinary that a 10 goal loss can be seen as having positives, but the new players do excite me a bit - Kent, Matt Jones, Terlich, Evans This """ During the annual shareholder meeting held on Tuesday in Helsinki, investors took issue with the corporate leadership, particularly CEO Stephen Elop. The Canadian executive is same man who authored the famous “burning platform” memo in 2011, expressing the imminent need for change within the company. "You're a nice guy…and the leadership team is doing its best, but clearly, it's not enough," shareholder Hannu Virtanen told Elop, according to Reuters. "Are you aware that results are what matter? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Please switch to another road.” - Cyrus Farivar, ars technica """ was interesting.

Absolutely. Saw this happen a couple of times with Evans. Ran to space, wanted the stationary melb player and Carlton opponent away but got ignored. This guy gets it. A good forty brain. In the ptesser, Neeld said that Evans would be a player. I agree.

Evans ruining to create space, had to wave McKenzie (?) Away form the ground. S more confident team would have all run forward hard. And well done Tappy. Hurting them is important.

Tommy McD. Love you to bits, but you're kicking is killing us! !!

Agree, but he's soft and this is the first Ds team for a long while with no marshmellows playing

Which of these blokes, all giving 100% and throwing their body in would you drop for Watts????

And this mob look like they just might physically hurt you. This is a good thing!

McKenzie not confidant kick enough to switch. Waits too long to kick. Turnover. But I'd rather this than the insipid crap of past weeks.

Dunn killing Judd so far. We're just not good enough, but this group of players cares. And a bit of biff!!!!

Even on clearances and hard ball gets. It's spread and skills that are killing us

At least this mob have a red hot. Depressing but at lay they look as if they care Silvia could have had us in this.

This is better. A team of blokes who ate having a go. Not good enough, but no weak efforts so far. And they've just scored their second after trenners gets pushed in the back. The last kick intro the forays line is always horrible.

True, but if he ventured across Gardiner's Creek, he might find a mob up to the challenge...

All of us need to remember this: the author is one J Bartel... http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/show-passion-but-give-kids-time-to-make-the-grade-20130501-2isp6.html

I don't want to be in a foxhole with some of our players

You fool. got and look at the post numbers. off to the ignore list for you, Stuie...

"And watts is a beautiful kick - and must play forward" "Good mark, Watts... so he has to stay up forward" thought I'd save you the trouble, Stuie - this is obviously a bit beyond you.

Wrong again Stuie - you're struggling here, aren't you - lots of posts praising him

Gawn has tried his heart out - contests hard, tackles Watson: "Melbourne not working hard enough" And watts is a beautiful kick - and must play forward
