It's too easy to blame a dud coach with sole responsibility. The whole footy dept was part of this decision. It was unwise but as DD36 mentions, we've made plenty of blunders over the duration.

The thread was started specifically for people who can't get over it.

Kick, [censored] - whatever.. Although nowadays, flogging a dead horse brings about all sorts of connotations. ED: Lol, there you have it. "Fl og" is censored. [censored] me.

This is a separate thread specifically for the whining, Ethan. You're allowed to be truly ridiculous. Give it a try..

I refuse to get over this until Jimmy gives Ollie a bath when we vs Port and he collects 3 Charlie votes. Until then, the Whines Lounge will get traffic.

A little bit...

Google 'Hairy Thing.' Besides Chewbacca, there's a few other interesting images.

Yeah, that way would see him causing explosions at centre bounces with Jimmy Toumpas.

Meanwhile, at Port Adelaide...

You cruel bastard. Still, I will save my biggest ever whinge for this thread when we trade Toumpas back to Adelaide as part of the PD deal.

Why couldn't you change the story to "fearless pig dogs" instead of Border Collies. Would've had a better ring to it..

102 points! I can remember when Birre were the power team back in the early 90's Are the finals still played at Central reserve in Colac?

Ollie is the reason Port are playing finals. Hell, if we'd drafted him we'd be playing off in a prelim this weekend.

You have seriously got to be [censored] me.

Ollie Wines.

Petrie actually acknowledged Tom on Grandstand as a really promising up and coming young defender.Maybe a forward who's been in the game for over ten years is qualified to make such statements compared to the rest of us guru's.

What are his contract details?

I support your way of thinking but I'd say Michie for pick 54 will pay more immediate dividends.

2012

He hardly inspired at Casey. That's usually enough criteria right there...

If Trengove can no longer run fast, I suggest they bulk him up with another 6 KG of muscle and get him bullocking out of the clearances to help out Jones.

We lack midfield grunt and from what I've watched of Wines he goes alright in that department. Granted that we also need players like Toumpas and considering we were assured of Viney it's logical that we chose Jimmy before Ollie. Still too early to call IMO but on the back of yesterdays game I feel a lot better than I did when Wines burst on to the scene at the beginning of the season.

Like I said above, I don't disagree with Neelds general sentiments. I take umbrage with the way he's thought it would be somehow beneficial to Jack and the club to raise more scrutiny on the kid when he was obviously in need of support and private mentoring/coaching. FFS, Neeld had been at the club for all of two months and barely knew the kid but felt compelled to make these statements to the media to which they gladly took and used to add more salt to the wounds.

Try this on for size. Maybe it'll fit that imaginary scapegoat. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/lift-your-game-melbourne-mark-neeld-tells-jack-watts/story-e6frf9jf-1226193140413 Neeld at his best shooting off at the mouth to the press and adding more pressure on the kid. I don't disagree with much of what Neeld would like Jack to aspir to but what gives him the right to carry on like this in the press? You just don't get it, do you?
