Huge in both the literal and metaphorical. And if he plays like that consistently, my goodness.

Next week is the test now. Brisbane have barely whimpered since the NAB, if we knock them off up there we will not only silence some of the media but also probably turn the heat up on Vossy.

This guy...this is a guy that clubs kill for. A ten-year, set-yourself-up player - see Buddy for an example. If we get pick 1 we draft a ready-to-go mid if there is one available early - if not I suggest we trade for two of them. Have a midfield of muscle and a forward line built around Hogan. That will win flags.

I'm actually considering it. Despite my total lack of experience or money. My platform would be 'call in the AFL to fix the administration, football department and assemble a new board for me to endorse come the next AGM'.

My attitude is the club should have come clean day 1. While the statement they issued in Feb was technically correct, it was also lie by omission IMO. The admin have tried to be smartarses but should have just played a straight bat. There was nothing to gain from going the way we have. Get rid of them. Final straw.

Hird and the Bombers board have a track record of doing okay for their club. Our board and our FD have a track record of completely [censored] destroying it. One is totally against the trend, the other is totally in line with it. This is the last straw for many, myself included.

Tanking scandal, drugs scandal, club in the red, brand at an all-time low. And we're not going to call for the board? Jesus.

If they last to the AGM I know which way I'm going...

Vote the board out.

He'll do.

...I don't like it, I [censored] love it. He's not going to get a gig in the CFL or the NFL, so it'd be worth a crack for sure.

That's a contender...totally unique mark, never seen anything like that

Sack him and start again. This club needs to realise when it's actually made an error of judgement. Too many times have we sat on our hands taking the safe option. Right now, the safe option is killing our footy club.

Only one I know of at this point is Sheedy. Voss may be too, but we don't want him obviously. McKenna, Watters, Hinkley, MM, Sanderson, McCartney, Lyon, B. Scott all definitely under contract. I believe Hardwick, Buckley, C. Scott all are too. No idea re: Worsfold, Longmuire. Clarkson up in the air - personally believe Kennett is trying to pull strings to get rid of him. Hird who knows due to the ASADA stuff. Also the following available (in theory): - Roos - Matthews - Ayres - Williams

Bingo. We seem to be fine with 'having patience' - how bloody well has this patience done us really? We're clearly at an action point. The media can smell the blood, and a loss next weekend will be their excuse to attack. Why does it not strike people that we actually could have made that error and hired the wrong guy? It's really not unheard of - Primus, Drum and Peter Rohde are the most recent examples of bad coaches. What will it take? 0-22? Is that how bad we have to be?

It doesn't seem to get through to so many people is why.

If we lose, he goes. Would these results be acceptable at ANY OTHER CLUB? No. He'd be out on the dole queue faster than you could say 'It's a Grand Old Flag'. Be aware that this is one of the worst starts that ANY team has had in VFL/AFL history - and needs to be regarded in such a light.

I'll be baying for blood if we lose next week. I may end up doing so anyway, but it will be immediate if that occurs.

Miracles are not expected. Something resembling competitiveness is. The old man has been following the Dees since the 60s. He is of the opinion that last year was THE worst season he has witnessed - and now is shaking his head in disbelief.

Sue, I'm sick of talking about 'the positives'. We've had seven years of 'the positives'.

People are saying that 'we shouldn't be known for sacking coaches' - but average losing margins of 100pts are completely unacceptable to me as a football supporter. Yet others maintain 'give it time'. Surely not.

Ah, screw it all.
