Here is my sliding scale on what could happen to Neeld next week depending on the size of the loss to Richmond 0-30 points = coaches until seasons end (depend on future results) 31- 60 points = sacked after mid season break 61-100 points = sacked sometime next week 100+ points = sacked by Monday morning If for some reason we win, his contract will be extended until 2018 and a statue commissioned to stand next to Norm Smith's.

I finally got something right! Grimes in 31.

I like the idea that 31 is given to the captain (whoever it is), like Richmond does with 17. Hard to do it currently with the co-captains. Or maybe we could allocate 11 to the captain (or 37) ...............

Her attack on the MFC is surely unprecedented.. And i find The Age's use of a photo of the team from this year offensive as well. Most of the players in the shot were not at Melbourne in 2009.

If this happens - that's it. Shut the place down.

McMahon must have been on the payroll too. if he had missed, we would have won! If we were tanking, then we were not any good at doing even that!

Their seconds won the Grand Final against Port Melbourne. With Brynes in the team.

I am sick of the Julie Andrews version that the AFL use. The one used at the Olympics was a far better version. P.S. Even the New Zealand anthem is better than ours

Well it IS news isn't it?

Yes it was. I had read about it on the web and wanted to hear more. Couldn't watch the ABC at 7 as the kids were watching big brother :-(

Anybody watch Channel 9 news tonight? Not a mention of Jurrah quitting. NOTHING!!! Their slogan - "where you see it first" [censored] If it doesn't happen to a Collingwood player then it's not newsworthy. If Liam played for them they would have led the whole news with the story. Looks like we are an irrelevance in the eyes of most of the media. sad isn't it.

True that. Makes reading posts here pretty much a waste of time.

Are you actually TGR?

Wrong about Neeld - he deserves more time in the job to see if you are right or wrong. This theory about getting a premiership coach is crap. How many premierships had Bomber Thopmson coached before he went to Geelong? Plus it too him eight years to get their first one.

Reading this thread just blows my mind. You blokes are unbelievable. You are all just a bunch of Dorothys - just click your heels three times and a decent team will pop up from nowhere. If we delist all the players mentioned in this thread we will stay down the bottom for another ten years - you can't just draft a new team from nowhere - it evolves over time. With a new coach we need time to let the team develop. With this in mind Bate, Morton, Pettard, Moloney and Bartram at the very least must stay - all mature bodies, all played 50 - 150 games. I would argue that Green and Davey should too - I think we all agree that we moved Juinior on to soon and these blokes are in the same catergory. Patience Grasshopper Patience
