Not sure if anyone of the legal minds on here can answer this, but surely clubs hiring a senior coach could put in legal clauses so that if certain performance markers weren't met the clubs would have the oppotunity to move them on without paying them out?

Trade bait, i reckon he'd still have some currency, and Weideman has well and truely overtaken him.

Raid the Hawks Clarkson and Yze to the dees.

Officially turning it off. sorry Melbourne. you're going nowehere with this coach and a bunch of blokes who couldn't hit the side of a barn.

This is an absolute mess. this cannot be tolerated from a team with basically full fitness, and good form, against a side that's been out of form. Defensively we aren't working even half as hard as we need to, we can't stick a tackle to save ourselves and we can't hit a target. all of our good players have gone missing besides Max.

No gameplan in the world is going to stand up when mistakes like this are occuring.

Geez that was soft Langdon.

Last week will sting and i have a feeling things are clicking for the boys so i am tipping Dees by 35

No saty, i'd prefer to see our team stick up from each other, rather than just watch it, and if that eventuates into a free kick from time to time, that's much better. look at the Hawks when they had all their success. they didn't mind sticking up for each other even if it meant from time to time it cost them a free kick.

One thing that struck me in the last game was the lack of blokes who go in to support when guys get roughed up. Outside of Steven May they basically don't support their teammates. I'd much rather see a free kick be given away than the captain get roughed up and noone stand with him/

And would attract opposition interest for sure. much better to sign him up before they get a chance.

for me the shuffle you make is you give Oliver more forward time and give Gus more midfield time and the net positive overall seems better Oliver has shown he's capable of causing headaches up forward

I feel like short of an injury or suspension Lachie Neale is going to win the brownlow by a fair margin

Sorry i worded it badly. i think we are closer to a premiership now than we were in 2018 as in i feel we've got our contest stuff back to a level where it's universally respected through the league, teams know the dees are good there. and i think our backline has improved drastically to being one of the better units going around. and ironically i think our forward line is functioning quite well the last few weeks. we're not there yet but i think we are a top 8 standard team with plenty of score to improve still.

We are a better team now than we were in 2018.

Out: Brayshaw, Jetta In: T.Mac, Neal-Bullen

I genuinely feel we'd be better off trying to lure a decent young half back, moving Salem into more of a mid/half back rotating position and then using Gus as trade bait to get someone who better compliments our side Unfortunately it's a ruthless business and Gus just isn't cutting it at the moment

I feel like he's a good inside mid in a team that doesn't need him for anything other than depth i think there is an opportunity for a win-win trade here if we could get something we need in return.

Brayshaws 2018 form is the only thing keeping him in the side at the moment. I'd much rather Alex Neal-Bullen. at least he has a crack. really think we missed Tom mcDonald today.

Ironic that a few minutes early Zac Bailey went about 7 moments too long in giving the ball back and it wasn't called.

2 things cost us this game Goalkicking/polish some of the worst/most bias umpiring i've ever seen.

We should make a formal complaint about the umpiring. this is so bad it's ruined the game.

Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

Harris Andrews throws it and then Petracca gets holding the ball F me. call the AFL about this umpiring.

Need a spark. throw Bennell on the ball Don't let this play out goody.
