Pennant St Dee

I may be wrong but I do not recall Mark Williams playing in the 1990 flag, pretty sure he was either at the Bears as a player or back in the SANFL at Port by then

But that is how Roos got the Sydney gig and Wallace was left in limbo till the Tigers gig came up

No worries, probably part of my up bringing and my sporting abilities all effort and no skill, but guys like LJ, Watts, Dayle Garlett, Mcdougall, Morton and others annoy the hell out of me. I know it takes all types and I'm biased but I'll go for guys with mongrel, high work rate and intensity over skill every time. I have always loved players like Todd Viney, Jimmy, Woey, Archer, Riccuito, Jude Bolton, Mitchell, Sewell, and now J.Selwood, Jack & Hannaberry

Google Tallaght & Crumlin were I grew up, then tell me I'm a silver spooner!

I disagree this must become something we rid the club of, I don't expect us to win every game, I expect improvement till that day comes but as part of our change in culture our players must think they need/want to win every game they play in. They must attack every contest, loose ball and hit every opponent like their lives depended on it. That is how the Swans think/train & Act

Don't kid yourself I have seen him live not much has changed slight improvement but still needs to do a lot more, especially when he does not have the ball. One thing I will give him though he has improved off field but long way to go yet!

I think we have a contender for someone smoking better stuff than Bangkok Demon!

Of FFS, Jurrah ahead of Rockliff was a flawed mistake amongst others but because of his wow factor, Dees fans chose to forget this one! He lacked the workrate to make and consistency to make it at AFL level

Sumich stayed at Meth Coast for so long because he was no threat to Worsfold! I will be kind by just saying I along with many others in WA football don't rate him!

I said earlier on in the "Time to go Mark Neeld" thread, we should not limit ourselves to a former coach, yes I understand it is a big task and they call for experience but it does not mean another person could not do just as good a job. Woosha is not tactically gifted never has been and has an inability to change during games. Scotty Burns and Philip Walsh I understand are the tactical brains at Meth Coast. Good win comes with big wraps but so do all potential coaches. Alan Richardson has also been around a long time and been close a few times like Hinkley some say his time has passed but you never know Whatever we do we must have a panel who leave no stone unturned, take the time and get the process right. I am not decided either way on new or proven I just want what is best for the club

Your right there Redleg, we went with the naturally gifted players as opposed to those who have mongrel and have had to work for everything they get. Makes a big difference when they step up to the big league

Fitzy has been consistent and probably earned his spot now at the expense of Big Max who was down yesterday Strauss comes in for Terlich who will be a loss with his effort and attack on the ball Pedersen for Sellar because he is more mobile and should be given the job on Roughead IMO, Sellar was good against Richmond and it's only a change for match ups Rodan in for Bail who is clearly devoid of confidence and Ins: Fitzpatrick, Strauss & Pedersen Outs: Gawn, Terlich (Inj), Sellar & Bail

My mail, which I'm assuming is what Iva's possibly alluding to is the decision to Move Neeld will be made early this week and he will coach his last game against the Hawks. Source has a 60/40 record so whether concrete or not we will see.

Mckenzie (put effort in which is something a majority need to look at, his & Nicho's shortfalls would not stand out as much if some other players put the effort in neither of them are any worse than Matt DeBoer, Adam Selwood, Brad Dalziell or others on AFL lists who are surrounded by quality Mids) M.Jones Terlich he will be a big out if broken ribs confirmed Trengove N.Jones he is all heart and god he would be a great asset in a good side Howe a must keep for this club

The club needs to sort itself out off the field in the next two years and show positive signs or we will lose this kid. And I promise you I'm serious!

I think we need to cut him some slack BRFE, have a look at his assessment on this thread compared to his assessment re Hogan vs Danniher, both assessments appear to be polar opposites to me.

Weren't you the one who quoted on another thread re the Dogs, where you slated our list, not to expect to much from Hogan because we can't develop kids! So don't expect to much but he is going to be better than Danniher who in your words will be a superstar.

So did Phil Krakouer and boy could he play!

I'd love to get hold of Shiel & Hannaberry to our club along with those we already have

Blake Acres from WA is your Vlastuin type and will slide a little in the draft due to a shoulder injury ruling him out of the u/18 champs. He was to be WA captain and played last year as an under age player. Will go Top 30 and could fall to our second pick with a bit of luck

Spend a week on Dland without reading "Time to go Mark Neeld" posts

Viv Michie very highly rated at Freo and has been playing top quality football at WAFL level, is coming back from bad injury and they have nursed him back slowly( in a similar way to Taggert by us) so highly do they rate him

Sorry Stuie got distracted with the kids while typing but I think you finished my post for me, I meant to add he (Watts) would be the link up player in this system/gameplan, what would also assist in this would be a second option of a player with great pace running into the hole provided by the forward leading up to the wing. We have Blease but need another 1 or 2 in the squad. Anyone know Rohans contract status

I attended my first Dees game for the year live last week and saw Dawes lead well with purpose and on a few occasions mark it 60/70m from goal but had to take time to reassess with no big target to kick to. I thought if he and Clark were in the same side quick transition from half back to forward would be very realistic.

He is, I think without using the exact words to spell it out, when after the GCS defeat Jackson in response to being asked would Neeld be sacked, he said No he will coach next week against Richmond. Hardly a glowing response or endorsement of trust or faith Neeld has to do something special to keep his job, those of you thinking he is doing irreparable damage are kidding yourself, history through the VFL & AFL tells us otherwise Players achieve nothing now by making a decision to move on in 2014 before the end of the year, If Neeld is to pull something special out of the fire obviously something special will have happened between him and the players If he moves on the players will wait to see who the new coach is before making a decision, we are not talking about GWS $6 million deals anywhere here
