Possibly, but from what I understand the issues on why these guys haven't signed is related: 1: we suck and they want to taste success elsewhere; 2: our coach sucks and they can't stand him; It's been bled to death on other threads, but surely there comes a time where enough is enough and if it helps resign some of our most experienced players back up and give everyone hope again, then off with his head executioner!

Help Peter Jackson. This is the stuff we need him working on, and hopefully he is. I know he has a lot to work on and he even said it himself when he mentioned about the inexperiance at this club, IMO We can't afford to have frawley, Sylvia, Watts and possibly Davey walk out the door. If Neeld has to go to help retain these people, then make the call and resign these boys back up. I couldn't take another year of Neeldy complaining that now he's got 16 players with under 50 games experience. Please Save this club from Neeld and itself.

I know that this is a sort of blend of a number of topics, so apologies to anyone offended. I thought about this last night, and I know this is fanciful - If a new coach came in and sat Grimes and Trengrove down and said "listen fellas, become vice captains, but I want you two to not have the added stress but work on improving yourselves on the field instead". Then gave the Captainancy to Jones. 1. Would Grimes and Trengrove play better and fulfill their potential faster. And, 2. Do you think it would affect Jonesy's current game/attitude?

Disappointing for Jones. I agree Selwood is a classy and tough player, but I think that it would be unfair to play down how good Jones is so easily. If he were in a top team like Geelong there would not be as much focus on tagging him as what he currently gets.
