If we smashed West Coast this week and thumped the Tigers, Suns and Port with a dazzling brand of footy then everyone on here would be pi**ing in Viney's pocket and spruiking about how it's all finally clicked. As other Posters have suggested, who gives a toss how we get there. It'll all add to the teams learnings and hopefully fast-track their performance. I doubt we'll make the finals too but hey let's get behind the team for the remaining games! Chin up you lot.

wish the dees had the spirit of that liverpool team

Hmmm.. Well, based on your 'humble opinion', I do hope Garry can alternate between these behaviours and those that support club objectives.

Sheedy will bag Melbourne at every opportunity now in the hope it puts further doubt in the mind of Scully and possibly other targeted players. He will also keep giving a raving endorsement of Mark Williams as a senior coach at the Dee's so he can free up a position for his old Essendon mate in Bail's, and from there hope that the bond between Bailey and Scully will make Scully's transition to GWS all the more easier. Sheedy's still a cunning old bugger.

You are right - but so is Healy. We need both.

It's not players we lack..... it's a plan. Do you really believe Thomas would be at the level he is now if he was at MFC?

On basic stats, you have some weight in what you say but the other variables Thomas brings to the game is the obvious difference. I still doubt that Sylvia has the X factor like Daisy. Apart from a super long bomb goal from Sylvia, my eyebrows have rarely been raised compared to watching Daisy work his magic. I doubt Daisy would struggle at the Dee's? It's players exactly like him we lack... Although, he is young and skinny I believe.

We seem to be assuming Jurrah's been dropped for performance reasons? Maybe his frame of mind following the past few days could have something to do with it. Personally, I think it's about time he had a run in the magoo's in the hope he finds some form.

Glad I'm not the only one to have seen it that way. Lyon has got some work to do in the next six months to help the club out, not [censored] on in his tv shows.

Throwing an ego like Thomas's into an already dysfunctional (from all reports) football club, would only make things so much worse. The guys a dropkick.

Thanks for the heads up. Living in WA certainly does have it's advantages...

You know, everyone is all about how rough Dean's copped it but let's keep in mind and perspective, how much this must be affecting Jimmy. I cannot start to believe how much stress this bloke is under and how much this must negatively impact his well-being. That said, I wonder how much thought his best mate Garry Lyon puts into his public outbursts of disappointment? Not much I reckon.

Such an apt name for certain people to get their two cents worth in. "TWITter"

This part of the roller coaster is on a big down hill run... Don't expect too much next week other than Robinson getting a smack in the head (fingers crossed).

A leader, absolutely. An individual that starts things, anything, and motivates others to follow. His idea of handing out Norm Smith and Barrasi books and setting the tone regards this great clubs history is truly inspirational.

He has played off in 4 GF's though in that period with the Pies. Meeting the Lions during their peak was akin to us meeting the Bombers in 2000 so I think you're being a bit harsh on him.

We need a new coach... Geez, the crux of the problem changes daily!
