Not everyone praised his game against Hawthorn. I thought he was awful and said so. It's also funny that many quote his "leadership" in defence of his position in the team and yet in the first quarter on Saturday he was completely undisciplined and showed exactly why he isn't a leader on the ground. Yes, we had 22 players that "stunk it up" but he is supposed to be the leader that help us not "stink it up". He failed and should be called out on it. I can always accept skill errors and poor decisions on the ground, that's part and parcel of the game, but I can't accept the self-indulgent, arrogant, stupid and undisciplined tripe he dished up on Saturday, it hurt his team, the club and us as supporters.

Caro's article in The Age this morning puts into perspective where the club was when Jackson took over. It was beyond awful. The hero is Andrew Demetriou but that will be a bit hard for some here. Roos played a critical role but Demetriou started the ball rolling and with Jackson in place it never waivered. High praise to all as we run onto Optus this afternoon.

Perhaps Neeld was the coach we had to have.

Good to know. Can you get the rest of his medical history? Confidentuality isn’t your strong suit is it. It’s so so important we know. Thanks.

Not for me Rono! Bit old for that sort of thing!

Strange. I've been with you all the way on Lewis and said so early last year. I think he's had a much better year this year and thought he was very good against Geelong and terrible on Friday against Hawks. He really worries me on a fast deck in Perth but he isn't going to be dropped. He's a classic "very good things and very bad things" footballer at the moment. I'm just hoping he has a good one on Saturday because a bad one could cost us the game.

Yes, OMac has arrived but there are some that have left.

Tap the photo, I went straight to the story.

Well, you've got his photo on your dartboard so what's the difference? Oh, Bin's supporting one of ours and you're potting him at every opportunity. Go figure.

I'm not defending Neeld, I didn't like him from his first presser when appointed but it's never just one man. The whole club was toxic and divided and the list was terrible. He put the explanation mark on a terrible period. Nobody at the Club intended to hurt it, they were just out of their depth. I'll watch with interest, it's part of our history and just highlights the strides we've made and the wonderful contributions of all involved since PJ was appointed. But IMO it's time to put the knives away for the Stynes/McLardy era and enjoy our growth both on and off the field.

He is in quarantine because he's sick. That's why he didn't train. Drunkn said all players were there. I hope Lewis wasn't.

Hope Lewis wasn't spreading his germs....

Pat McKenna on the bench injured. Kid can't take a trick. Let's hope it's not serious.

Tunein Radio doing it for me. Couldn't access on the website.

I don't warm to imports like I do "our own" but Bernie for some reason is so different. He came to us when we were on our knees in Roos first year and he gave his all. He won a B&F and was skilled and competitive on the field. He also has a wonderful generosity of spirit I think and a genuine love of life and fun. In the end he seems to have a wonderful sense of perspective in his life. It's time I know but I'll be very sad to see him go and wish him well in whatever he does from here on in. Many thanks Bernie, I think your football skill may have been underestimated but not your character. Cheers and good luck.

Did you get tickets Mauriesy?

Well rather than sitting here hitting the refresh button you'd reckon they'd give us a schedule.

Through Ticketek? I can't get through

Yeh, right, Gil's responsible for Ticketek stuff up.

I'm still getting the same error message = no tickets

And I enjoyed that but I'd rather have tickets!

this isn't an MFC issue OD. Don't blame the club

If they are resetting their servers how come I can log in easily now but still get the "no tickets" message. What a bunch of clowns

So how do we know when it's up?

Still telling me there aren't any tickets available. What a shambles.
