Ted Lasso

Yeah i'm over defending Trengove, either he is injured and shouldn't be playing or he just isn't up to it and should be traded at seasons end.

Only two goals down and alot of players not playing well, if we can get that right i am confident we can get over the line.

He did an entire pre season up there, he should have some idea, maybe heavy legs from last week?

How can he be as good as he was against Geelong and do nothing this week? lets hope for a decent second half

He was aslo very quick two years ago and all the power is gone, fair chance that's OP but there is no use defending himself, he is our captain, it's his job to adapt and he isn't doing it, might need a spell in the VFL

Pretty certain he is injured mate, having said that he fades in and out of games far too much.

with a little more polish and maybe 2 more mids we would be a handy side

only way is up for jimmy toumpas, any news on col?

viney is an absolute jet

i wonder how much of an advantage a pre season up there will be as this game drags on

fitz is a gun! setting up our forward line next year will be a struggle

gary ablett is an absolute jet! 49 touches

not every player is fast, trenners need to adapt

we are a big chance.

Really warming to the idea of Choco coaching us, make it happen PJ! On a side note, i hear a rumour that mark bickley was another who was keen for the job and we wanted to interview, any thoughts on him? i'd be against any untried coaches as long as choco is around

My concern is the only player in the draft that will interest the Bulldogs enough to offer him up is Boyd, and even that is a stretch

Couldn't agree more, our new coach needs to get the boys excited, they're talented players, get a few wins and a few blokes might re-sign and the feeling can change very quickly, while i understand we have been awful this year, i don't agree with the perception we are in a deep dark hole that we can't escape, the right coach will get us playing much better football in 2014. That might not mean we play finals, but it may well mean that we have a reason to get excited about going to the games again, the boys get excited about their association with MFC, and Demonland might be a much nicer place haha.

When Mark Neeld was sacked Craig said that he sat down and had a chat with PJ, i have thought that would have been PJ saying look our priority is a premiership coach, obviously he was still in with a shot but i'm sure he made Craig aware that if Roos for example signed tomorrow, he would start ASAP, i think we would be crazy to hire Williams without exploring all of our options however,

Unfortunately i can't see any way we could convince Mathews, a coaching panel with Williams, Ayres, craig and Ling would be fantastic though!

I think we are a big chance in this game and the Lions know it! hoping Kent plays as sub, not sure he's up to full games yet, but viney may not have the match fitness yet

I wouldn't mind Ayres as an assistant, not sure about senior coach though.

Fair enough that they would be upset at that, but it seems fairly unprofessional that we would tell someone we are going to draft them, i thought most teams liked to keep options open, then again MFC has been abit unprofessional for a while.

In theory yes, but Craig is doing alright, it would mean he could start planning his trade and draft plans and things like that early

i think burns will coach brisbane or wce next year, we have our four candidates

what do you think his currency would be? i'd offer fitz and a second rounder for sloan and a 3rd rounder or something like that, fitz would give them the forward/ruck that they need and a second round draft pick would get them involved at least.
