Pennant St Dee

Listened to SEN Auskick show this morning and two kids Jacob & Connor two young Dees discussing last nights game. They were disappointed and asked if they would continue to follow the Dees, they both shot back with of course we will be there next week because you never change teams. Not sure how old they both were but from memory one was around 9 or 10. They reminded me of myself as a kid innocent and unhappy with a loss but looking forward to next week. Actually made me smile again this morning, just hope we turn around for these kids and others who may have only started following us in the last 6/7 years They were both asked if they

I hope your right Bobby with the 2000 quote, also heard somewhere tonight Essendons record defeat tonight surpassed their 1964 winning margin. We all know what happened at the end of that year. My hope is fading but it will never die

Agree there have been plenty of premiership sides & contenders with mediocre forwards but gun midfields.

Schwab has to go, he may have survived 186 but for the good of the club he has to go ASAP

6. Nate JONES 5. HOWE 4. FRAWLEY 3. DAVEY 2. TERLICH 1. GARLAND

Olisik you just don't get it, he is a kid. Grow up

Cant sack a coach at Round 2 it wont and shouldn't happen. Could see how he was hurting tonight, he made plenty of moves but nothing worked. Lots of soul searching this week, his crack at the big gig is falling apart so he and the player group need to work it out. Not saying he will see out the season but just can't sack him after Round 2. Others in the club need to go first

Was there a lot of kids crying, if not why can't you just refer to him as the kid in the MFC polo FFS. He or another family member may read demonland. Think before you post

Red & Blue till I die

He will not come nor will Choco or Rocket until Schwab is gone

I hope the players watched that and see how he is hurting. As others said he made plenty of moves but a lot of the players were just shell shocked. This will take a lot to turnaround. No quick fix with this, it goes deeper than the coach and talking about experienced AFL coaches, Neil Craig needs to get greater involvement if he hasn't already

My thoughts exactly but I just want to make sure before I bring it up next time I ring up and speak to the knobhead

Yes my thoughts but just surprised hadn't heard anything and everything Hagdorn reports is just a rehash of one of Caro's or Robbos articles

Has anyone heard anything of Todd Viney and Neeld having to be separated after last weeks game. I know most of what Kim Hagdorn says is absolute crap but on 6pr this morning Peter Bell, Karl Langdon & Hagdorn were discussing Melbourne and Hagdorn interjected with the rumour that there was a heated exchange between Neeld & Melbournes head of recruiting Todd Viney and they had to be separated before it ended up being a something serious. Hagdorn said Neeld is in trouble if you are falling out of favour with a member of the clubs Team of the century and they will lose tonight, next week to the Eagles and then Round 4 against the Giants who will beat them Neeld could be sacked, He then asked who do they get to coach or who would want to coach them. As I said Hagdorn is off the mark most of the time and I am not even sure that Viney is still our head of recruiting (thought Jason Taylor was now performing this role) but Hagdorn used the name Viney after saying the clubs head of recruiting. Has anyone heard anything along these lines

I have two kids one has jumped ship to the Pies whilst the other remains loyal to the Dees, totally agree with you in the bolded part and if I don't see the 13th I hope my children and grand children get to see it and many others

Great post P-Man pain fades but memories last forever, here's hoping there is an omen in the number 87 when we also started terribly but came home to make finals for the first time in my life. My greatest Dees memory shared with my father (not a Dees man) was the Footscray game in the last round when he cheered loudly when we made it. Hope you enjoy Saturday night P-Man and may your father RIP

Said it at the time and stick by it apparently he was in the final 3 shortlist but we should have went for Hardwick. Whilst he was a first time senior coach he would not have allowed himself to be controlled.

Or he took them from an underperformed team under Gary AYRES to destroy us in one of his first games as coach in 2004 when we were sitting pretty in the Top 4. Took his team to consecutive prelims in 2005/06 where they went down to a very strong Meth Coast side and followed up with consecutive finals appearances where they went out to late goals kicked against them by Buddy (vs Hawks) & Jack Anthony (vs Pies)

Dont take this the wrong way or as me being another Dees fan who accepts mediocrity. I know we are on a long road to where we wish to be. While I would happily take a win, all I really want to see is effort, run followed by gut running, intensity, support your team mate and no shirking of any contests, everything looks after itself after that. This is what I expect from my team for the next 21 games

Agree Old Dee I listened to him this morning and thought he was well measured in his views. I was expecting him to be gloating and saying I told you so but as you and rjay have said he seemed to hold back a bit

Cheers for the insight and helping out the club Robbie and this echo's similar to stories I have heard from Dockers financial supporters. The Dockers fans with old South Freo roots are real hardnuts who have worked hard for their coin and come across as honest battlers, but I know a few of them have a substantial amount of coin but don't harp on about it. Like yourself they give for their love of their club CS & CC may need to review their people skills if we are to move forward and they really need to remember who supports and makes the club

Nothing happens except we move on and do what other sides do start looking at the following week. To many times before we have done this and just falling back into a heap. It should not take embarrasment or public heat to motivate you as a player

Rarely I agree with you WYL but spot on here Bud!

The Dees wore that jumper when I started following them, we played Freo over her in WA a few years back as part of AFL Heritage round and wore that jumper. For me it is first choice as our clash jumper

When you move to Perth & rub shoulders on a daily basis with their supporters, listen to the Perth media you will hate them and if you choose to jump ship you will jump on board the Dockers train.
