1. Moloney 2. Jones 3. Trengove 4. Martin 5. Frawley Most improved: Martin Best first-year: Howe Coach's: Wonder who would award it to be honest, going to go with Watts

I can't remember exactly what it was to be honest, but I do remember it mentioned around the time Beamer was on earlier this year - which had been the first time in a couple of years that there had been anyone on the panel, and someone mentioned in the thread on here that it was to do with DB.

There was something about DB not agreeing with the show's methods so for the most part I believe he didn't want players to appear on the show.

Great point. I would suggest the only non-negotiable players right now are: Moloney Jamar Trengove Watts Garland Frawley Possibly throw Jones in there as well. They are it in terms of that top end. Even Moloney goes missing though. Everyone else has scope for step up or step out. Yes, I know, there's another 38 names or so who aren't on that list, but those 38 all have some sort of niggle to their game that has them shown up. I'm not saying that's the be-all and end-all for the rest of the list and we need a total rebuild. Not at all. What I am saying though is that there is scope for improvement, but also scope for culling if need be.

I don't mind the sound of Greaves - particularly as it sounds like Neeld is bringing in people he knows. I wouldn't be surprised to see another name or two who've had experience in and around Geelong and the Bellarine area, as that's where Neeld has his footballing background and will have the people he believes he can trust in as coaches.

Who's the other MFC FD kid playing in the TAC Cup final? Also, GO CHARGERS (Not just for Jack, had a few mates go through the Chargers over the years)

Lot of Freo supporters on BF suggesting it's a good move - if there's one thing you can't accuse Connolly of not doing at Freo, it's growing the club. Really has an eye for it, so might actually be a bonus in the long run.

Is this the cleanout we needed to have? We're getting rid of not just Bailey people, but also Daniher people and Neeld seems to be attempting to bring about a cultural change in the backroom of the MFC. Thoughts?

Davey and Rush qualify 2013. Rush will be less likely to be listed though as he's not on as big a contract.

You're right, but that said, some of the most successful coaches internationally of modern teams had very little playing background at the highest level. Best example I know of is Jose Mourinho - won the Champions League at Porto and Inter, won the Premier League (and the FA Cup IIRC) at Chelsea, now has won the Copa del Rey at Real Madrid and is going to give the CL this year a massive crack IMO. This is a man who started coaching in his early 20s and has gone through the systems all the way to the top. Andre Villas-Boas (Chelsea manager, won Europa League with Porto last season) is similar in terms of path. There are probably plenty more examples, especially in the US where it's much more meritocratic than in the European systems.

Bail: Midfield Green: Forward Grimes: Rotate between defense and mid Strauss: Defense Sylvia: Mid Morton: Mid Rest are difficult

Nice upgrade Andy!

My vote is the most important.

Toon still undefeated...

Good call Bulldogs. Cameron was the wrong option.

Will do now.

Jack Trengove.

How many do you have over on 'ology rollinson?

Even if he wanted to coach, I doubt the Velvet Sledge would ever come to the MFC. Still get the vibe that he holds a massive grudge against MFC for some reason.

Two of the ten - Warnock and $cully?

I like the scarf damn it! Needs to be red red though, not goddamn pink, I'll agree.

- When we consistently attack and threaten every side for every game - When we win at Darklands - When we beat Norf - When we make the finals - When we win a flag

Only one little niggle: Jamar is in the '09 jumper. Apart from that its awesome Andy

Quote Neeld: "There's a fair bit of Blighty, and a fair bit of Mick as well as my own thoughts in my coaching." Have we acquired God Himself?

poor call
