Formula is simple: Get the money and make those changes, in the hope that it will be more beneficial then what will happen next year If they don't make the change, then get the board the hell out of there (which Smorgon has positioned himself to do, when reading about his future as the...

Lets see aa forward line consisting of a rotation of Grant, Walsh, Bandy, Minson, Rawlings, Bowden, Darcy with several of the above in the Forward line at all times We have been deplorable in our defensive efforts stopping the ball get out, and with this line-up it may continue, but its...

Smorgon just wants less then 4 wins so that he can say 'I told you so, so get ---------' and walk like he threatened. Hang on....Priority picks.....Kids playing as we rebuild.....Possibility of the coach being chopped by a new president.... WE ARE ON A WINNER!!!!!! Don't forget Rose...

Can someone pass this onto to our favourite son Crofty. Short, distinct, and absolutely priceless. Isn't the coach giving us the scapegoat for 30+ games?

their retirement also seemed to be linked to or a reponse to our recent poor performances which would not be fair. And that is the point, it came out as another justification for something neither had any real part in. The process should have started a lot earlier, but with a level of tact...

Rohde said the club would do its utmost to ensure Garlick and Croft did not leave the club with any ill-feeling after being told their careers were effectively over. However Rohde said there was a chance both players could yet be given a farewell match later in the season should they decide...

Well maybe it costs a fair bit to fix up the mistakes and get things done properly... Remember that avoiding costs has cost us more more. Guess we can do a Richmond to get rid of the coach, and do a richmond to say that there needs to be a policy change

Its because, according to Libba: 'He was promised the job' but the club either turned around and changed the pay down, leading to Libba feeling ripped off. Or: Was told he had the job, but then the club changed its mind and selected Leon because he was cheaper. Either way Libba doesn't...

What we need is a coach that has more brains in developing players, more brains in envoking a 'need'' to win, and generally a coach with more brains then your typical supporter, who can use the same players & kick the supporters in terms of strategy... Not the other way around!

Well consider Middlesborough had not won anything in its 100+ years until this year...Now THATS hell freezing over! Worth note that in terms of proper silverware Newcastle has been waiting for ages also

Funny that.... I also noted that Barry Prendergast ran like hell to the rooms to escape the scene of the crime...No way was he going be anywhere near Rohde.....

Consider Luke Darcy today, and put it over a timeframe of the entire season: Darcy spent heaps of time down forward without a sniff...... Then out he comes and kicks 3 goals...when its too late... Consider Rawlings in the first couple of games, and then now... Factors: Speed of...

If we have the name 'Western Bulldogs' and yet we play our games interstate we are still 'alive'? Hmm, according to AFL policy Sydney is still South Melbourne, and Brisbane Lions are Fitzroy and Brisbane?? How do we reconcile locations as being one-in-the-same when they are sheer hours (if...

Its not just the fact that Weribee are losing. I point to the fact that Weribee lost in much the same way as the dogs did today. *Non-existent forward line *Players stuffed into the back-half and nothing to kick forward to *Everyone walking or *slightly* jogging, never running...

How can other players have 'no faith' in kicking to Walsh? The kid can mark strongly and is a good, long, kick??? He tends to lead early at times, but its by no means a cronic condition based on past performances.

In case you haven't noticed everyone is panicking because they smell blood. Are you guys telling me that 10% of our membership base are: People who don't support us, but buy memberships as donations out of sympathy? WHAT A LOAD OF ---- (There, I edited it myself) I don't think so...

Nice one Dryrot. The reason why we ares so 'spick and span' is because a) He aren't paying anyone else anything under the table b) the mob aren't involved in our club c) The AFL wants us to be so professional in all areas (oh yeah, except in terms of footy competitiveness!)

I know its his marking that everyone point to, but I think everyone is forgetting he is a long straight and reliable kick when targetting the goals! He only gets in trouble whne he tries one of those SAM Newman : 'Soft little chip kicks, that go everywhere and nowhere which gets...

Trade bait value is equal a few decimal points above ZERO! The only players we can trade are those who are 'untouchable' to get anywhere near significant enough to fill in a spot in a regular AFL side. I actually noticed wight a few weeks back (when I was last at a VFL game) so I think he...

A few opinions: Clayton is a good recruiter who has had stuff ups just like every other recruiter. All the players at other clubs that we have avoided in selecting have gotten better then they were. This is called DEVELOPMENT I yet again ask, do we have the resources to develop what we...

Well when he is in the pack it goes without saying; what I was saying if he just handballs when he can a longer distance then while he mucks around with 1-2 plays the opponents get back and make things harder. Williams and West are one one thing, cross is another at the moment, and I assure...

It was OK of Cross to have so many handballs this time, becuase he had people running by to pass it to. Should not make it a style that he always uses otherwise people will catch on quickly!

Oh yeah I forgot. One person who could go there since he is so very keen on the place is Mr Rose...And STAY THERE!

Nice to see Jade, West and Grant aren't going! Hopefully even more don't go...Ever again!!!

I could handle Doug going and having a go at the Roys because he helped give them some leadership they sadly lacked, he got to play on, and almost got them over the line against Richmond at the G. It was also good that he got 350 (but we know how that ended) He is one of the very VERY few...

Anyone remember Footscray V Brisbane Bears at the Whitten Oval in 96? I guess we have seen this before. (But how did they score against the Gale force wind in the first) Callinan is a high-tech 2000ish version of Libba. He was great at U18 level and is still doing it every week to this...

Coming into this thread I thought you were talking about the painting at that pub :D

Johno wasn't alllow to play with the rest of the boys on Saturday because they were just too rough last week. In fact he was grounded for the first 3 1/2 quarters, having to sit with the miss's, before being allowed outside of eyeshot to stand in the race. Nowhere near as happy as usual after a...

Street does make a very good obstacle in case you haven't been watching. He knew he couldn't keep up with Koscizke (whatever) so he actually made the kid run sideways as opposed to straight at goal. He is very hit and miss but he hits well. Minson could be an option forward along with...

In fact after his talk he was nigh on bawling his eyes out, and starting using every player as a screen against the TV cameras. I doubt its the finger, so hopefully someone noticed and we might get an indication sometime in the future because I would have thought Johno's milestone up at West...
