What game plan.....the game is easy.....you have to go from one end to the other, you either kick it using the corridor, kick it using the wings, gun and run using handballs or try to turn it over through pressure, depends which one the coach of the day favours, the players know them all............. the above should cover Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Sydney and a couple of others

You're wasting your breath/fingers, one of these days it is going to sink into supporters that most of the game is played between the ears

Then either stop watching it or stop posting, it is boring as our game speed......gee the number of 'new' posters who do nothing but whinge, is Demonland offered up as part of therapeutic course now?

So does that mean you don't have a membership anymore? Do you attend games? Just find it a bit rich if you are bemoaning something which you don't invest in either in time or money or anything else tangible

You can get your point across, but if you are not really interested anymore why bother, what is the point in bemoaning something that you don't care about, makes it more about you than the footy club..............when I arrived in Australia many years ago was told there wasn't a class system to worry about, you seem to contradict that notion

No a little bit of telephoning told me. 60yo fan-gallicparkland?

Any of you posters who are feeling inspired by the Rev, if you want to rattle a tin at the Big Freeze game at the Gee to combat the Beast, let me know I can give you the contact details

Actually chap, it hasn't

I am not defending, just disagreeing, which of course a lot of the sheep on here don't have the gonads to do, how long was Bomber Thompson or Al Clarkson given to become a good senior coach, and how close did they both come to being given the elbow, difference being the clubs stood strong and ignored the media....reaping the success that brought I know comprehension is not a strong suit of yours, but the point I was making was Beveridge has 'instant success' because of the groundwork laid down by McCartney, acknowledged by Bontempelli, who had the gonads to do it on tv

As I said, all mouth and trousers, do you also stand on the steps of the State Library shouting and when asked for alternatives produce absolutely nothing? I have been to quite a few AGM, you have the occassional dissenting voice, but it is usually about something so trivial it borders on force Where are all the dissenting voices at the AGM?

It is not selling Beveridge short, if you read the posts properly, it is the fact that footy watchers assume that Beveridge came in, waved a magic wand and hey presto.....also you have no idea whether McCartney could have made a go of it as senior coach, he wasn't given the chance

Agreed the skill level of the modern player (with some notable exceptions) is deplorable under pressure in games, Port had a comfortable win last night but some of the kicking and handballing was atrocious

All mouth and trousers, nominations are called for board vacancies, if there are only 3 nominations then those 3 get elected unopposed, if you want to do something about it, then nominate next time there is a vacancy, give me what you are going to do and I will make sure I vote for you if your platform of promises is strong enough

Hansen, as is his want, was singing the praises of Beveridge and denigrating past coaches, he was one in the media who drove Macca out the door, a vociferous Dogs supporter, Bontempelli stopped him mid sentence to correct him, bloody good of him to actually say it, considering that Macca is now at another club...if it is not good enough for you.....who gives a flying....I give very little credence to what a lot of posters on here post

Why did you actually feel the need to qualify your first post, you seemed to infer that it was 100% correct, can't be one of the 44 or so I speak regularly to

He was on Marngrook on Thursday night and said he was playing, reason he was dropped was his performance was unacceptable, said he may have come back too early, going to have a red hot crack at Casey and earn his spot back, there is no fitness issue Marngrook - the footy show that actually talks about footy and has had female panelists since the start

So a different Brayshaw named for Casey, or Misso lying again

Bontempelli was on the Marngrook Footy Show and went out of his way to contradict Grant Hansen who was busily singing the praises of Beverdidge and denigrating previous coaches, Bontempelli said the ground work for the success today on the field was laid by Macca.......good enough for you?

Did you watch his performance last night, and he wasn't much better the week before in a winning team, think Essendon will play a younger player in his spot going forward

I agree, I used to read the cartoons in the paper first thing in the cafe on a Saturday morning, then onto the sport, I look for Picket's postings instead now, match day thread, nah, just the Doomsday book open at the usual page.....again if we turn up and compete we may win, if we don't we will get beaten.....as for Jeff Garlett, if you have an injury you try and rehabilitate it, obviously the hope was it would be ok, it wasn't, would you prefer Garlett risking it and turning maybe a week into six

Steady now you will spoil it for Dees "supporters' who already have him in Freo and besides you should be ashamed of yourself a well thougth out measured response on Demonland

Not surprised at all you wrote this so written off before a shot fired you never know he might be replacing Garland Ditto

Oh right that well known AFL coach of many years standing, maybe he needs to do a refresher course in journalism, and actually write something instead of just following the crowd and inventing stuff

If it was Stow on the Wold then I would seriously concerned
