Fork 'em

Well no greater incentive to perfom when they get their chance then . Hard to drop someone who is producing the goods .

We've made our bed , at this stage we should continue to lie in it . We should trade aggressively when we are closer to our goal . St.Kilda traded in Gerig and Hamill but in hindsight did so before the rest of the side was ready .

I find the humour juvenile and it's the only footy show that I won't watch . Also hated the fact Maguire , and Newman would use it as their personal soapboxes .

From that annoying weasel Brad Dick I did but your missing the point . With Melbourne and Richmond I see 2 clubs at similar stages of developement . 1 having a red hot go every week , the other not . If we were playing the Tiogs this weekend , they'd win . Not cause they're better than us , it's because they're committed and they want it more .

At least tell us which game .

It's also far easier to Talk the Talk than Walk the Walk .

There is NO WAY Lyon will chuck in his cushy TV/Radio job to put his balls and credibility on the line to coach Melbourne. The guy is on great coin and only works 7 months of the year . I'd prefer we get after a big fish with rock solid credentials anyway .

Win lose or draw they play like their lives depend on it . If we had half the committment to the cause they do , no-one here would be complaining . When was the last time you saw Melbourne players pounding their hearts and clutching at their jumpers after kicking goals ?

Another reason Lyon doesn't sink the boot in is because he was on the panel that selected Bailey . That'd be embarrassing .

I won't cause we'll be back to square 1 within a few weeks . We're a soft club that gets far too comforable with ourselves . I'm sure many on our list are just happy to be playing AFL and enjoying the lifestyle that it brings . Got a few twitter followers , lifes good . No need to push yourself too hard , Finals are for other clubs .

Same reason I gave up reading the friday paper a few years ago . Got sick of our various leaders stating we let ourselves down , gonna redeem themselves , earn back respect Blah , blah , blah . Then theyed dish up the same tripe on gameday . We are forever redeeming ourselves and regaining lost respect. Had it up to Funkcig here with it . We had our arzes handed to us against the Dawks and what did we get ?We'll make amends against Brisbane . Fell over that line . GC next and the most uninspiring 90pt win I've ever witnessed . Here we are another game later and we're back to redeeming ourselves , it's a never ending circle of BS . As Pagan used to say , "Just show me the baby."

There is no try , only DO or DO not . - Yoda .

If Malthouse was to coach another club , Carlton too would be my bet . Another nail up Eddies nose .

Here , here . Did ya see the Richmond players , pounding their chests and ripping at their jumpers signifying heart when kicking goals over the weekend . I wanna see some of that coming from our club .

The problem with Lyon on that show is he often shoots down any worthwhile conversation they might have on us . Couple of weeks ago Carro bought up the possibility of Malthouse coming to Melbourne . "I wouldn't think theyed be looking at changing the coach just now." dismissed Lyon , and quickly onto the next subject . Tho' he might deny it , he's up to his neck in this club . Half his best mates are running the joint , asif he doesn't have an imput .

Do we even have a bar ? When Bailey joined up he said he'd place no ceiling on the pace of developement . I'm not sure if a floor has been placed either .

Never fear , chicken hearts are in the mail .

Yeah , but we really need to know if he's an aggressive type and can he take a pack splitting mark ?

Nope , Laidley won't cut it . Matthews-Viney ????????

Your obviously a Dk'Ed , so I don't care .

I'm embarrassed for us and no laughing at GC especially at the hands of the scum will help . Sarcasm emoticon or not .

There's no way the GC performances should be compared to ours . We "should" be miles infront in terms of developement .

I think we should keep Bailey to see the year out . Problem is I don't see any coaches in waiting that inspire me as a supporter at all . Personally , I woulda picked Hardwick infront of Bailey when we had the chance but that bird has flown . Whoever is chosen must have an aggressive combative mindset as opposed to passive . Something that hopefully will rub off on the playing list .

Ah , that explains everything . We wait for the opposition to get the ball and attack . Pray to god they make a mistake and turn it over . Then pray we don't make a mistake while trying to get them on the rebound . Talk about reactive , how 'bout some proactive for a change . Really untill Watts is fully developed and we find at least another Gorilla who can take a contested mark in the forward line , talk of success in finals is just an illusion anyhow . In high pressure finals when hail mary's are being bombed into the forward line big marking forwards are worth their weight in gold . Just gotta hope that our young developing midfeild is good enough to send it their way often enough . Preferably without having to come from the backline 1st .

You can keep Cooney & Griffin , pass us Hodge , Swan , Bartell or Chapman .
