I agree, we might not right away, but the difference in respect and buy in would be huge, Mark Neeld just might be in over his head with us, we need the best coach possible.

Our strength is our efficiency going forward, unfortunately we have the worst midfield in the comp by a mile so we can't do anything with it, when you are smashed in clearances and inside 50's every game as well as being minus 100 possessions it sort of makes strength's a little irrelevant until you fill the massive holes.

The basic thought is good, but i think we have better options than Pedo, geez i'd even take Rodan over pedo.

But then you look at Freo who this isn't an issue with because the coach has such a good game plan that even we would be a good side under it, it's not entirely Neeld's fault but he certainly isn't helping it either.

And also the lack of key players at times, it seems to be the one area we are really good

He has 4-6 weeks off, get him on the phone haha

I have a feeling he will resign with them unfortunately, would be about perfect if he and prestia decided they wanted to join us over the off season

He has the head of a 250 game player on his shoulders, i can see exactly why he maybe paid overs to get him to the club now, the post match presser was very impressive.

Is this serious? maybe for one ball up or something, anything else and he'd be exposed bigtime, and we'd be done with tanking knowing our luck.

I know for a fact they felt at the end of 2011 with the right coach they could play finals in 2012 especially with the addition of Mitch Clark, that's how far backwards Neeld has taken us

you certainly are, but i achieves nothing.

Taking our injuries and interrupted pre seasons to key player into account, when we play like we did against the tigers, are we ahead of the Bulldogs and gold coast?

I want Neeld sacked, i'm sure most are aware of that by now but the only thing i can give him is that we haven't even seen close to what our best 22 are like, our dangerous forward structure has not played a game at any level together, later in the year should be a good indication provided we don't have more injuries

Sellar playing back is a perfect opportunity to push watts to the wing or half forward

Neeld seems to accept anything that isn't a 100 point loss as a positive.

he certainly has the endurance.

Geez Jimmy Toumpas has nice kicking skills though, him and watts settling in for the second half of the year isn't going to hurt us in this respect, everyone here is well aware that we are crying out for good users of the ball to set a standard for the other boys.

So the better option would be to not read it rather then wasting everyone's time with a pointless comment?

You're kidding, poor fella :/ really hate how we never get told the truth about these injuries from the start.

He has real class, and i'd say is our best defensive mid by a mile, funny considering we play Mckenzie as a tagger...; but Trengove needs to get his confidence and conditioning up, and turn 20 touches and 8 tackle games into 30 touches 8 tackles and a goal or two, I always leave a game feeling he has been abit quiet, and then realise all of the off the ball work and 1%'s he has done later when watching a replay

i can honestly say i was concerned and doubtful of Dawes ability to be a dangerous forward rather than just a second target, but he was really impressive today, great work rate, chasing and tackling, leading to good area's to create space and could have kicked 3-4 pretty easily, he and clark will be a headache for oppositions, but by god do we lack polish in the middle, that's the difference in our respectable losses, we are doing some things right but not finishing off so many good pieces of work

I would not be at all upset if we got rocket, but for me i'd still take Choco ahead of him

He was everything we were hoping in his first 2 years, the last year and 8 rounds have not been the same player, maybe that's the injuries and confidence, maybe that's Neeld, but i certainly wouldn't have said he doesn't have the ability

Just guess work at this stage but i'm going with Out: Nicholson, Toumpas in : Viney, watts

Absolutely, he should be gone already.
