agree about Green being a reliable set shot for years and years. What a champion of the club

2012 has been worse than 2011 i dont care what anyone says. yes 2011 wasnt pretty either but at when we played against teams like port, north, richmond and lions or an interstate team at the G I'd sit down with hope of a win. This year I sit down to watch the games knowing we will loose. injuries have taken a toll but i enjoyed watching our guys win every now and then! It was nice to see the potential on the list show what it could do every so often. This year our team looks to be giving a good effort but just look very very average all over the ground. In summary, 2012 might be the shocker year we had to have to turn the wheel back the other way, but surley things didnt have to hit rock bottom like they have to teach a bunch of professional footy players to play a different game style. 2011 was bad but 2012 is also not acceptable IMO

Would love to see Brad Scott go into meltdown in the post match presser!

Anyone else think this thread could/should be locked until after the hearing to avoid any unneccesary speculation?

I think Neeld is more interested in testing out the list to see who is worth keeping than winning games at this point in time. This is probably due to the fact that we've lost some core players with injury but i still find it puzzling that he'd pick defenders as forwards over guys who have been doing OK for Casey and who are trying to forge careers in the forward line. I wouldnt be suprised if Jamar gets put on ice as our next long term injury, and Spencer and Fitzpatrick get given some continuity to see what they've got. Would aslo expect guys like Gysberts, Strauss, Jetta, Morton Petterd etc to play more games from now on, unless Neeld has made his mind up about them.

anyone else think we might loose to GWS and GC and finish last, kill the pig in the draft including viney with our 2nd round pick and actually play footy in 2013?

The Eagles and Dockers want their own sides in the WAFL too. I think its a bad idea, and a slap in the face to WAFL or VFL clubs who might not be as poweful as the AFL clubs, but who have passionate members and players who dont seem to come into the AFL clubs calculations. If the AFL clubs want a reserves comp then they should have a 18 team reserve comp IMO

Bommers getting pantsed has put a smile on my face. I'd like a win for the MFC though

Q: What's the problem with lawyer jokes? A: Lawyer's don't think they're funny, and no one else thinks they're jokes. Q: What do have when a lawyer is buried up to his neck in wet cement? A: Not enough cement. Q: Where can you find a good lawyer? A: In the cemetery. Q: What's the difference between a porcupine and a Mercedes Benz full of lawyers? A: The porcupine has pricks on the outside.

i feel sorry for bater, because he gives his all. I have trouble bagging players like him because at least you know they're trying. His guitar playing is also very average, which is a pity becasue im sre he would like to persue somthing in that direction after footy

Chappy may look past it at the cats, but he is quality and would be in the top 5-10 players at our club easy, regadless of if he was a better player 2 years ago I'd love to see him in our team

I was there at the game that day and saw the end of the scuffle. 2 on 1 isnt self defence

Crazy, pretty much summed up what i was thinking before i posted!

Nathan Jones has improved his kicking over the years, so maybe you can teach players to improve their kicking?

who ever retires in the form of their career? Just like Brad Green is copping it now, people are quick to forget what a good player Bruice was for us. Over a 200 game career you're going to get peaks and troughs in form. Credit where credit's due please!

Bruce was my favourite player during the 2000's. Sad to see him end his career at the Hawks.

its funny how every thread contains a paraphrased version of this post, no matter what the topic started we find a way to get to this

haha I love Demonland People are calling for beamer to be dropped all year due to form, but when Neeld finally does it, people then cry funny business?!

No way

Good summary of our list IMO

dont agree with everything in this thread but i do agree that we should make signing him up one of our highest priorities, alnong with Jones If were to somehow end up with no Jurrah and no Howe, we'd be the most boring team to watch in the AFL.

WYL the difference in personel between Saints and Freo is vast.

Somehow i have put Mcdonald in the outs and Bate in the I'ns...

Fair call Old Dee. However, it's annoying me because it seems like they're calling him injured when its more like he's not deemed fit enough to play in a game! Every training report says he's running laps at a good pace. Surely his ankle can't be 2 weeks away if that's the case?

Jurrah's 'injuries' are p1ssing me off. Anyone got any info on how clark is going? No complications from the procedure i hope?
