I think Paul Roos performances in the media seem lazy as he doesnt appear to do any research or be prepared for anything they discuss. He is asked for his opinion and he just rambles on without really any adding anything insightful. He's just enjoying the easy life without putting in much effort.

Not sure how they could punish a team for tanking as I dont think it breaks any rules.

I thought Brock moved because he got car sick driving all the way to Casey for training.

The AFL's draft system is the only thing that can go on trial, the clubs just do what is within the rules

Misery by Soul Asylum

Very hard question to answer as we have so many to choose from

Should Caro have a go at Mike for his blatent plagerism

Neeld's reference in the pres conf to our youth struggling against the big bodied/more experienced opponents worried me as I wouldn't have thought the Tiger list was that much more experienced, especially as we had won 3 of the last 4 against them

maybe Gary Lyon should be banned from the next coach selection

18th tonight and probably at seasons end too

RIP Jimmy Stynes, Champion footballer, Champion Human Being.

I think he was truthful in that the MFC will be the only football club he plays for throughout his career as GWS doesn't constitute a Club, but a manufactured money wasting franchise that will never encompass the traditions and soul of a Football Club.

The reality is any club that tanked has done so within the rules (maybe not spirit) of the game, so an investigation into it even if it confirmed that they did do it cannot punish them anyway. The AFL rules would be the only thing that could change.

Some good news on the horizon it seems.

Interestingly the article again refers to Schwab and issues with current sponsors.

Can read a lot into the timing of this.

Schwab saying we have the $$ to keep Scully

Schwab's dismisal being reversed

Schwab spotted on the Grassy Knoll.

It's a fair point I guess. Think Kaspersky have a long-term deal for the back, so it's got to be for the front of the jumper...

Long as it's not a betting company, I don't think after Daniel Bell and Theo the club should do such a thing morally. Yes, dollars and cents, but...

Daniel Ward?

The Logo is fine just should replace the EST 1858 with 186 POINTS as a reminder of last Saturday and replace with Premiers 20?? when applicable

I know. I'm from South Australia and have observed a couple of generations of Williams's. Initially I didn't like the idea but the guy is educated, a football animal and has something left to prove. He's also won a flag (that is the clincher). Malcolm Blight is barely sane too. The greats are often like that. You think Clarko is a balanced individual? That's what gets them the extra distance.

good point you would have to be either a machine or slightly nuts to survive as an AFL coach

Jason Dunstall is footy director at hawthorn, and he has a similar, high profile media role as Lyon. Seems to work for them.

Eddie's involvement in both the media and with the filth hasn't done them too much harm

Had to happen but feel for the guy as he was let down by his players who absolutely disgraced themselves and the club yesterday

We did this the last time, and got Bailey, for gods sake. Word was that Hardwick missed out because his presentation went poorly. FFS.

Let the board set the following criteria:

a) have been an A grader with a long playing history at AFL level

b.) have been a hard, uncompromising player

c) have premiership experience (as coach or player)...

Leigh Matthews ticks all the boxes

...Senior players spoke to the board during the week. Made a comment that yesterday's performance was in a way a protest...

These senior players must be making protests every second week or so if you look at their efforts this year so far

Isnt it 1979? I heard barassi might come back with a 5 year plan.

hope it's true and if we can get some big guns like Moore and Templeton to the club we will be unstoppable

A loss to Gold Coast at the G in front of 7000 is a possibility

Is Leigh Matthews available, interested in coaching again and willing to bring the mongrel needed to our club? There is a guy who will stop at nothing to acheive success and as an opponent I hated him but since I've been alive he has won 8 premierships and the MFC 0.
