I dont!! But that attitude will excite me if we win!!

Good points you make. Hes obsessed with history isnt he. Brian Cook, whats he up to and wheres he at now???

Im getting impatient about being impatient!!! But patience from here on in is all that must happen I guess, sad but true!

I should know I have to read the fine print!!! At least you say - I like it! I like Neeld, I like his purpose, but god he loves the sound of his own voice!!! Have hardly heard boo out of the other new coaches all pre-season, he needs to shoosh up and walk the walk.

We are at the bootom of Div 2!!! If there were to be changes who would you recommend for the top job??

He may well have his whiteboard taken off him in the near future if things dont improve.

4-5 aint too bad!! I was thinking 7!! A major cleanout of the moles needed, starting from the top, board down if theyre serious about success.

Yeah what exactly does that mean!!! I had my judgement after the Brisbane game - we should never of lost that!

Do you know much about Taggert?? Could he become a quality mid or is he another hopeful longshot?

I'd keep him at Casey seconds until years out and trade/delist him. He'd be taking a spot at Casey seniors for a Taggert or someone. Way too many chances, time to make the tough calls on these players I think.

Ah dear!!! Ya goota laugh WYL!!! Im refraining from letting it affect me mentally - see how loopy I am by the end of it!! On a positive note I have just emailed Cam Schwab to do a Whiteboard Wednesday this week for the sake of member sanity - Interesting to see if he does however I'd imagine he will be a busy little boy!

Well I stupidly thought after 2010 that our window was about 2014....obviously that window seems shattered at the moment!!! Where do you think our window will be mate??

Good points Sir. Its hard to see how they get any confidence after the last half of last year and the start of this year.... I thought a fresh start may have made a huge difference - obviously I was wrong.

I would hate to see a Whiteboard Wednesday this year..... I'd imagine there would be a whole heap of circles on that whiteboard!!!

Actually I'd be puffed and on oxygen during the warmups they have these days!!!

Yes I wont get into the Schwab conversation here!!! Dr Who could be the whole board in one. Hes more up with the modern game and no one else in Australia seems to be. Could prove to be an asset to the club!

Some people are blaming the umpires but at the end of day what did the MFC do as per usual - drop their heads. God it frustrates me sometimes I just want to run out onto the ground and do something!!! Id probably last 2 minutes though!! B)

Out: C.Schwab In: Dr Who

But are our players as good as some suggest?? To their credit injuries have killed their development more than anything. When you think of Blease, Gysberts, Tapscott, Bail, Grimes, Fitzpatrick, Cook, Morton, Strauss, Gawn and probably more that Ive forgotten then they have had so many set backs from their injuries that it has hurt them more than the senior player excuse I think. When we start getting them fit and getting consistent AFL games into them they will develop faster, its hard to do that when they are hardly on the park. For some reason the senior player thing doesnt sit well with me as I think its another excuse, it was never a thought in my day, but probably more relevant now - I wouldnt know as Im not running around anymore. There are plenty of role models in the AFL for them to learn off, its just a matter if they want to put in the extra hard yards to succeed.

Yes we are becoming a strongly consistant unit now!!

Where to from here then Jordie? Who do we go after/recruit or what do we do?

What does that 'S' word mean???

Yeah thats it, one wont be enough for the shite we are in. Just goes to show how far behind we are. Judd turned around Carlton by himself, we need a few more. A clean out is definetley needed to a serious extent. It sends alarm bells when you get fresh faces to the club trying their guts out like McDonald, Tynan, Magner, Clark & Davis... Shame on the rest of them bar Jones at this stage.

Good theory. I guess it always comes back to senior players. Although I think this is a bit of a cliche thats got out of hand. It wasnt an excuse that was used when I was playing football. I used to go with the theory you only get out what you put in, I think we have a lazy bunch. Also alot of our players are not young anymore. And some of our older players had Neitz, McDonald & co to learn from but its all gone pear shaped! I think injuries have jolted the young players development seriously, but Im still sitting on the fence as to our recruiting since 2001.

For what its worth here is a link of the Big Gaz, we are all gutted. Be patient and wait until after the Richmond game he says. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/teams/gary-lyon-gutted-by-demons-horror-start-to-the-2012-season/story-e6frf9mf-1226322534951
