    And you can lead the conga line of cheer squad of apologists as the Club's leaders destroy what should have been a golden era but is turning into a train wreck. Instead of 2 or 3 flags we are the AFL's laughing stock. Well done.

    If you think our player trading in the last 3 years has been ok then good luck to you. I think it's been dreadful & taken us backwards & heads should roll. And measuring us against North & Freo is a road to nowhere.
  3. Let's not get carried away. I like his improvement in 2024 but so far he has done SFA.
  4. When this sort of carp happens @ Hawthorn, Carlton or Collingwood the supporters stage a revolution. Whereas as our lot include lots of sycophants & apologists. And that is why they have had more success than us in the last 50 years. If Satyriconhome was running things Neeld & Cam Schwab would still be running things.

    Dear bewildered drafting has been good. Player trading has been terrible & made our list worse to whit Dunstan, Schache, Hunter, McAdam, Fullerton, Billings. Compare that to Hawthorn & Geelong in the same period.
  6. You seem to have done very little except make excuses for the current administration & blame everything on the media or supporters asking serious questions. You & a group of other posters continue to enable & reward poor performance & accountability.

    (Translation of the above comments for those unfamiliar with Bonbon speak.) Yes I was wrong & sorry for jumping from issue to issue indiscriminately. Goodie had much more talent available than ND. Ben Beams, Big Al & Matt Collins wouldn't be on an AFL list these days. Apology accepted.

    There you go again Bonbon. I didn't say you were a Christian apologist just that you employ the same tactics ie whenever you lose a point in an argument you just jump to something else & bang on without ever conceding the point you lost. First you run lists of players names now you pop up with Jeff Farmer 🤣🤣. If you think ND had as much talent as Goodie well fair enough but the GF teams bear no comparison. How many games would Ben Beams, Nicholson & Collins have got in 2021 ?

    So be it Bon Ami. I'll stick to holding Goodwin to account while you head up the conga line of apologists.

    I actually do a lot of irony but its wasted on Americans & on Demonland.
  11. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Bon Ami you argue just like Christian apologists. Every time you get pantsed on a specific point you just ignore it & move on to another irrelevancy. To summarise your arguments 1. You believe Daniher had as much talent available as Goodwin 2. There's not much difference in talent between Lever/May & Collins/Nicholson. A simple yes/no will suffice.
  12. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Your comments are not even worthy of a response.
  13. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I'll make it simple for you. All 4 were Grand Final defenders. While Goodie had the luxury of AA's Daniher had to use players who were barely AFL standard.

    And let's not forget his Big Fail of 2017, disastrous seasons in 2019 & 2020 & poor coaching & player management that screwed our 2022 season. I won't even mention this year's debacles against West Coast & Freo.

    A bit snarky there. Put the claws away.
  16. If this is correct then Pert should step down. It shows extremely poor judgement and is childish & vexatious.
  17. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Well maybe. There is Scot, Irish, English, Italian, Spanish & French in my heritage.
  18. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Your list of % wins by coaches is totally meaningless without information of available talent. Daniher didn’t have May & Lever, he had Alistair Nicholson & Matt Collins. Ridley & Beckwith were probably decent coaches but had poor lists. Pro Tip Next time post something useful.
  19. Cranky Franky replied to WERRIDEE's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Then there is the conga line of Goodwin apologists with their "nothing to see here" attitude who ignore that a potential golden era is quickly turning into a disaster. We seem to be returning to the Neeld/Schwab era.
  20. After the year we have had & rumours around Trac, Clarry & Kosi anyone who didn't understand that we needed stability with our gun players is a moron & should not be at the Club. Shopping Clarry around was the absolute last thing the Club & its supporters needed this week.
  21. So the Club has had a disastrous 12 months, appears totally dysfunctional but it's all good. Nothing to see here. You're sounding like Jim Jones just before the Kool Aid.
  22. My bad. Did you mean Get Frost ? (as in Sam) to bolster our defence.
  23. Ferret ??
  24. Mostly agree with this. If Pert is effectively in charge of the review it is highly unlikely to critically look at he (Pert's) role & how he operates & any impact this could have on the Club.
