    Leave it alone you buffoon.

    We could easily win the next 4 games.

    I agree with all those comments except Viney play forward, He’s small, slow, can’t kick off either foot, nor mark over his head. Some forward.

    I’m standing by our man. The assistants are shocking. The so called players are aged, slow over paid and cooked. I wrote last week in an article that Simon should return to the box, and there he was, trying his hardest. No this is on Gawn, Viney, Petracca, Oliver. Next year they will be joined by May and dear Tommy Mac. All contracted to the eyeballs.

    You would be an expert about not having a clue.
  7. Champion, you may go home now and regale your family over dinner.

    I would rather we go after Draper, Jackson or Astronaut, all have a huge upside. It’s difficult to manage anything going forward without a CEO.
  9. A time trial is a bit different mate then having a bouncing oval ball in front of you, and someone like Bruzza chasing you with evil intent, a lot different.
  10. They are hard facts, I understand that, not easy for everyone to digest, plenty of supporters are delusional about the back half of the list.
  11. Fullers came to us as a ready made player, I heard he crossed Goodies bad side last year over a difference and has his cards marked. Sestan has been hanging off the back of the list for three years and will never replace Marty Ho. Kentfield more of a recruiting blunder than anything else. Verrall is a mystery man, a head scratcher.
  12. So it’s safe to say Fullerton, Sestan, Kentfield and Verrall have their exit papers stamped.

    Almost impossible to receive any benefit from trading Petracca, Oliver and Viney,, and Gone. They have massive multiple year contracts that we are up for. Nobody will be crazy enough to take up the payments and handover picks or players as well. They are basically giveaways with us paying half their salaries.
  14. Coming into the draft there was a big knock on his pace from a number of prospective clubs.

    Maybe it’s about time we held a review into club operations.

    Why don’t we have a CEO, who’s managing this mess, too many mates, too close to each other, recipe for disaster.

    Just taken to hospital with bruised toe. Petracca fighting for his life in emergency unit. Club checks on his welfare after a few weeks of not attending training.
  19. Some good facts here. Time to change it around, get back in the box and take feedback from all the assistants. Nathan Jones, what level AFL coaching accreditation does he have? Retired, one year on telly and now managing our midfield. This appears every bit of a “good old boys” appointment, a monumental stuff up and a disgrace.
  20. He was treacle slow, appears overweight to me.
  21. Yep, slow, can’t kick, can’t mark. But his Dad played a few serviceable games.
  22. He coaches exactly like he played, slow.
  23. Take the liability Van Rooyen and the bald bloke off and play two men short.

    To much time spent on this racetrack folly, how about directing some energy to our core business.

    As a club we have blundered our way into a terrible mess. Gawn, should be enjoying his forthcoming retirement, sitting in the coaches box, having the odd beer, and the odd cameo. Please spare me, we can’t play because his Mums crook. But it’s all about Max, hung onto the captaincy way to long, Max takes the ruck, the backline plan is to kick it to Max regardless, the Forward plan is all about Max who is not much chop around goals, and his replacement is an aged journeyman. We need a young ruckmen, two if possible. May, no protege available here, Tommy Mac, no spring chicken with no replacement. Viney, Petracca, Clarry, got chopped up by young quick players, out on their feet at 3qt time. VanRooyen, Jefferson, everyone’s great white hopes, not going to happen, in a million years, forcing Fritz into a key role, when he is so obvious a pinch hitter. Desperate need for a full back a Full forward and a CHF, and a couple of pacy youthful on ballers, and a ruckman, starting next week. All this planning should have taken place 3/4 years ago. Also the decision to bone Tommo, has gotten on my goat, particularly when you have kept a huge hatful of VFL standard battlers out at Casey, whom have hung off the back of the list for years, who very obviously will never measure up. I don’t blame Simon, the problem is in the back office.
