The Enigmas: Watts and Sylvia
Peter Ryan talks a little bit about Watts and Sylvia's performance against essendon, then he goes on to discuss what opposition assistant coaches do when their players have lost confidence.
I haven't watched the two games for this season so i have no idea if they are actually trying and thinking too much to play well.
i think with all the new inclusions this year it will be hard to make the finals coz its practically a new team, they need a season to play together to figure out how each other plays and their strengths/weaknesses. So i think 2014 we will cement 8th spot but probably not go any further in the finals until 2015. However i would love them to go crazy this year and make finals!!
So i did a quick search and couldn't find this posted. It just shows not all media is against us in the tanking saga, hopefully more will emerge in the future. Michael rogers (whoever he is) seems to have the same views as a lot of us. Enjoy

haha very nice tony tea.
my father had a bet with my uncle when i was born in 1988 that if norwood redlegs lose to port adelaide at their next match i would be a port adelaide/collingwood supporter. but if norwood won i'd be a redlegs/demons supporter.
norwood lost and he told my uncle to shove it and made me a demons supporter haha.
i still remember Gary McIntosh half the field handballs as a kid! Good friend of my dads, they always used to go and get hammered at the Bath Hotel down the parade back in the day.
I would go for whatever the first MFC jumper was back when it was formed.
Heritage or whatever its called.
However, i can see it clashing maybe with Essendon or Carlton so invert the colours or something.
Get "Russel Robertson Higher" its a music album done by Russel Robertson a recent former great footballer from melbourne. I haven't listened to it, nor do i want to lol. Heard him sing on the footy show and at a grand final or maybe Queens birthday clash i think and he was horrible. But maybe you should find it somewhere, download it, whatever and check it out.
we won't know if this rebuild is successful until the end of neelds contract. Thats how long im giving him and thats how long it should take. It took Malthouse 3 yrs to get Collingwood in the top 8 and 10 years to win 1 Premiership. Collingwood finished 15th then 9th in Mick Malthouses first 2 years then 4th in his 3rd. So im hoping for something similar with Mark Neeld.
I don't know what Malthouse did in his first two years to turn it around in his 3rd, i'd assume some culling and good drafting. But everyone should just relax and see how it works out at the end of 2014.
i think he'll do wonders for the MFC but i don't think we'll win a flag with him. Probably use him to build the team then some hotshot coach might be out of a contract and we'll grab them. BUT WHO KNOWS!
still very happy he is here but i would of rather'd an experienced coach after what happened with bailey.
Bennel is horrible full stop, Tapscott and Strauss should come back next year hopefully. Jetta i dunno about him, i haven't really payed attention to him in games.
