I hate to say it, but by the sounds of it we need an Eddie. Yes, we love to hate him, but he completely turned the Filth around and both united the factions as well as removing those that wouldn't unite.

Jeez Jimma, we love you for all you're doing now! Don't drive yourself into the ground for the MFC mate

Schwabby renewed, wow, all the media got THAT one wrong

Todd!

Sanderson/Eade for 2012. Name me a better possible combination to put together.

not suggesting delist but certainly no more captain Although, isn't his contract up?

Key words being leaning towards. Any of the big clubs would put a publicly safe coach on notice after a loss like that. After the losses we've had to have that happen - coupled with his being out of contract - it would have brought the entire club into disrepute to do anything less.

Yeah, it's hard call time. He hasn't stood up all year. Frankly, he's been downright awful. And that petulant bullsh*t in the goal square when Nicho took the shot is the last straw. When you're having a rotten day as captain, you have no right to do that sort of crap to a first year player who has shown far more than you this year. If not with immediate effect, Green needs to be removed at the end of the year. Note - yes I may be sounding a bit harsh, but if the club is willing to sack the coach, it needs to take a serious look at the playing group as well after that. Hold the administration to account, sure, but if there's a malaise in the playing group, it starts at the top. The playing group voted him as captain.

There was a rise? Because arguably we were darkest 2 years ago when Stynes said 'if we don't raise a coupla million the club will fold'. Yet I'd say this is darker...

Talk is cheap.

Haven't heard it just from BF, wouldn't post it if I had.

MFC press conference scheduled for noon

Something ironic Against All Odds - The Postal Service

It can get worse. They can give Bailey a new contract and recruit Fev.

I would say OUT Melbourne IN Casey but they got shafted by 20 goals too. Gotta consider getting rid of Green. also OUT Bailey IN Viney it'll happen now.

Since we're clearly in 2007. Thank god Bush won't be president after next year.

Voting? Nope, not this week. Not a chance.

Making a living. That said, got annual leave for next Saturday - first Saturday I've had off without being bedridden in 4 months!

Thursday curse strikes again........ Goddamn, I hate Thursdays.

On Bailey, who would you replace him with now if you're suggesting that current performance is not good enough? Remember: - Malthouse is now more than likely staying at the Filth - Roos has said he doesn't want a job til 2014 - Clarkson will probably get a new deal - Eade? Really? - Craig? REALLY? - There's Matthews and the old brigade, but once again, REALLY? You're really looking at an assistant - a Sanderson etc. Stick with him. Why not? A 1year extension does no harm if strict performance targets are in place AND he makes 10 wins. Hell, Roos said he may consider a coaching position for 2014. Give DB 2 years to shape up or ship him out.

Whether I've just softened or become sold on Bailey, I don't know, but I maintain that we should give him a go. Especially as the coaches situation changes with the bulk of premiership coaches removing themselves from contention it becomes harder to justify replacing Bailey. That said, I still like a clear-cut one year extension with a goal of 12 wins and/or finals and an option of a 2year extension based on that.

GWS at MCG, would be nice to get a win =)

I called 10 wins would be enough at the start of the year. Glad to know I'm on track. And a one year extension with two parts: 1) The extension clause should be at either 12 wins or finals, whichever happens (18 team season so who knows what'll happen for the 8?) 2) Should have a provision for a further 2 years if provision 1 is made.

Noone really. Used to run into Neita a fair bit, but not anymore.
