You can't really defend this bloke anymore. He's a tool.

I tipped port. FFS get your house in order Melbourne and prove us supporters wrong.

Dawes is not having a great pre-season. Not exactly set up to be earning that coin this year.

There is nothing surer than him leaving at the end of the year.

I have a really bad feeling about this year. We stink and looking at the list I don't have much optimism for the future.

I love this "it's only a practice match" mentality some of us have on here, like its miraculously going to click in round one. The only teams who can take this attitude are top 4 teams that don't start training till after Christmas. We have been on the track since October for the last 6 years and we still look like a locals side. Wake up, we're rubbish!

Moloney didn't want to be there from the moment Neeld walked in. You don't just forget how to play footy.

Maybe Sylvia just isn't as good as we would have hoped?

This just in: we still suck!

HAHAHAHHA. Went from winning tattslotto to being at a funeral on the radio in one second.

Like i mentioned before we need our possession rates up. Its the same story as last year. We hang on for a bit but eventually the weight of disposal = opposition scoring. Fair enough its a fairly weak team, but port aren't playing a first class side either.

Ha these commentators. I just wish we could see some vision of the game to see how over the top they are being.

Gotta get our possession rates up if we are gonna be serious this year.

I have this sneaking suspicion he will be on the move. Was one of the players rumoured to not be a huge fan of Buckley. He didn't look like he wanted to be at Pies last year.

What a waste.

He was always going to be a risk. Sandilands never lasts a season. You'd still take sandilands though right?

They are allowed to get drunk on their Christmas holidays. I second Many sentiments about how easy it is to get kicked out of the cricket. The security and police bully punters at cricket matches.

Hawks favourite again? *yawn*

He's doing a good job moulding a physically stronger list, wether or not he can coach is another thing.

Col leaving is a huge possibility IMO. Talking to someone in the inner sanctum recently, told me Col was shattered Beamer left.

Salary cap rorts are the new tanking. At least they are off our backs for a day or 2.

He's an OK player, not a superstar, will never be. I'll just be happy to see 100% effort every week.

The media has tried to combine this with tanking as another disaster for us. Being forced to start our own stand alone VFL team would do nothing but good for us, and the impact we could make in casey would be far more significant. Bring it on I say!

There is still no we want you to lose directives, it was all playing players in different positions etc which isn't tanking. The AFL don't want this to go further, but the more people involved who keep giving evidence they are going to have to come down on us. Which is terrible, but i never agreed with tanking, and I still don't. Look how far it got us? Kind of lucky we traded most of our picks this year, they can't take those off us.

Congratulations on a fine afl career. One of the all time Greats.
