The fact is Malthouse is not going to coach next year, end of story.

no he won't

Yes, anyone but Rodney Eade, he has had 12-13 years as a coach and not done much, his teams always have a soft side and are never quite good enough. If we get Eade I'm outta here too.

my old man supported them and I have since the day I was born, I was running around in a demon jumper when I was 12 months old so I will never change no matter what.

he's gone and judging by the way he's played this year who cares, he is totally overrated and if we can get 2 picks for him all's good I reckon.

I'Ii be very surprised if we beat them, in fact I just don't think where quite up to it yet.

he was no good as a coach, to much of a buddy to the players, there has to be some sort of respect from the players and they must think of the coach as their boss and not their mate.

Trengove is ready to lead, remember Carey was only 20 when he got captain's job, Jack has leadership written all over him and should be put in now. If Grimes wasn't injured all the time he would be the choice for V-C but maybe Jamar or Frawley.

Jack Trengove as Captain, the leadership group basically stays the same except for maybe one or two changes

I'd definately have him before Eade, Port haven't lost a game this year and I would be happy for him to be coach. He did a good job at Geelong but left to go to Adelaide for more money, had the curse of Victorians coaching AFC, they never get a real chance and people all around them at the club stab them in the back until they are forced out.

Moloney will win it, even though he's had some shockers he had a great first half to the year. Watts will be in top 5 maybe.

I'd love Mathews to do it but he won't therefore either Choco or Laidley preferably Choco.

he's only joking

He will lose heaps of credibility if he goes but money changes everything.

not Maric, I don't think he's got it

I will predict 14,785

12-15,000 at best

Green has still got something to give, he needs to be played as a permanent full-forward and drop the Captaincy and give it to Jack Trengove

me too. he is the last bloke we need, the dogs will never win anything for years, don't have the killer instinct

he's still a number one tossbag

He goes missing in the big games and when we need him most, I'm either way on Sylvia it doesn't bother if he goes and good if he stays.

True, never thought we'd win but thought we'd get a bit closer than 76 points. I agree with the players have stopped in their development, this has got to be down to the last coach and one of the reasons he had to go. We will start to pick up again but next thing to do is get rid of uninterested passengers-Morton, Sylvis, Bate and a couple more. Green should lose Captaincy, he's not up to it, give it to Trengove and let Green play at full-forward.

The first three players to go IMO are Morton, Sylvia and Bate. We should get some good picks or trades from those three, they just don't seem interested.

why???....he has been no good as Captain, he can't handle pressure or something, he needs to go back and just be able to concentrate on own game.

He's been pathetic this year, get him out of the Captain's chair and put in Trengove
