It's time to bring him in for a 2 year cleanup job. He knows how to install a culture of solidarity, defence and success and to turn things around. He can make tough decisions. This club has been mollycoddled for far too long and we need someone to cut the excess out. His analysis of where we...

So its been revealed that Sydney was banned from trading because the AFL did not want to be embarrassed with them trading for another high profile player. We have been dudded here as we didn't get best compensation for Paddy. What action do we have to try and put pressure on the commission...

1. Hird 2. Heppell ... daylight. Where is Little? Where is Campbell? We've allowed the media to write article after article over the past month. We've given everyone open slather to bash us and just dropped our pants and accepted it. The only person to fight it is Hird in press...

Our gameplan and football was good in 2011,12,13. Bomber took over in 14 and we started to over posses and scoring dried up. Our games became unwatchable and the downward spiral has continued. He failed to turn Carlisle into a forward and he may leave the club. We lacked paced and he...

I think its time we compared the midfield group to the rest of the league to see where we exactly sit and how we rate. Lets rate our midfield on a 0-10 scale. Here's a few samples for comparison: G Ablett, Fyfe - 10 Selwood, Pendlebury, Dangerfield, Mitchell - 9 Hannebury, Boak, Gray, Lewis...

.. as a forward option? After what I've seen of Cale the past few weeks I think it looks as though we may have found the competitive CHF we need. He's a gem. No ill discipline, no getting riled. He just seems to enjoy the game out there wherever he was playing. I think its forced Hirdy's...

Last nights game they had 11 guys over 150 games experience. Only 6 guys under 50 games. They rely on Selwood so much that if he is curtailed they are certain to lose. They have topped up with Mitch Clark which hasn't worked. Young kids coming through? Most of them don't look like they'll...

What do we do the rest of the year? Watson - rest for a month. Mentally shot. Kav - put a fork in him he's done NOB - see Kav. Alex Browne - play every game from here on in Connor McKenna - play 1 or 2 games. Langford and Laverde - play rest of the year. Ashby - comes in for Dempsey. Fletch...

Outs: Bellchambers, Gleeson, Stanton, Dempsey, Chapman, Gwilt, Cooney Ins: Watson, Brown, Giles, McKernan(?), Laverde, Ashby, Jerrett Howlett sub.

As soon as Fletch gets to 400 I think he makes way and we put Carlisle back. We need to setup the side for the next gen and thats the way I see it. There have been lots of great sides with backs that can go forward and i think we can use Hurley for this like Sos, Barnard, Daniher and others...

It's a shame that he's been hounded out of a few places. I think we need a place where we can collate all his work and have a reference point. He's done some stellar work lately. Whether you agree or not with his opinion he does have a lot of material to work with and access to documents and...

My previous thread got closed but this is exactly what im talking about. Deep in last quarter, game on line, get ball, nowhere to go, look for free.

Watching hawks v cat's and sydney and other top sides they all have a number of stagers and duckers. Its a huge weapon in a game. We have none which are any good. We nned to find a few.

I think we've been hoodwinked by a few good games and some Bomber love on TV in the early rounds. If we break it down and look at how we've gone then we are bottom 6 material. NAB - 3 poor losses. North - Scott got outcoached and let us chip all game and hold the ball. Would't happen tomorrow...

Interesting turn of events. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/suspended-former-nrl-player-sandor-earl-stunned-as-stephen-dank-lands-indian-cricket-job-20140302-33tqs.html

Deserves a separate thread and needs to be investigated. What was the Brisbane injection program about? Was it an issue of player welfare and safety? What were they being injected with? Is it documented?

Caro starting to look for closure in the saga. The narrative has changed. We now know where the saga is headed.

http://www.apsc.gov.au/about-the-apsc/parliamentary/state-of-the-service/sosr-2012-13/appendix-one It my maths serves me right ASADA have about 340 employees right now. Looking at the pay rates in http://www.asada.gov.au/publications/employment/asada_enterprise_agreement_1214.pdf you can...

This needs a separate thread as it's the only NEW bit of information presented in the last few months. Looks like The Gazelle was supplying someone within the confines of ASADA. That official now works under the nose of WADA and USADA in some accredited lab...

Hmmm.. another new sponsor jumping on board. Wasn't it reported by some journo's and the bigfooty community that sponsors would be jumping ship? Sponsors leaving? Player exodus? Nope...

According to Robbo the other day, The AFL got Hird and Essendon to sign confidentiality agreements regarding the negotiated penalties. Does anyone else think this is strange? Is it standard practice. What happens if you break this agreement? I think we all deserve to know the complete truth...

That will make 2 and they could be banned from the competition. If someone fails the illicit drugs policy can this be a scenario where St Kilda is kicked out of the competition for a year?

Both teams had to play sides they shouldn't have. Richmond was forced to play their bogey side in Carlton when they would have much preferred to play Port. Collingwood would have much preferred a tired and mentally fatigued Essendon than a hungry Port. The AFL has lost so much revenue with...

Mike Fitzpatrick had the gall to say there was no evidence of leaking and there won't be any internal investigation. Just staggering.

The AFLPA have failed to: Support Jobe Watson and him being booed Support the players right to play finals Put forward any information in relation to what the players really want Are they just another puppet for the AFL? Have they let the players down?

Looks like Cronulla will be playing finals in the NRL under similar circumstances to us. Don't you find it odd that the two biggest codes in the league are wildly apart in the way they go about it?

Interesting listening. At least there's a bit of support out there for us. http://www.2gb.com/article/alan-jones-comments-22nd-august-2013-0#.UhVTFN8S2Xo

WOW!!!!! http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/james-hird-to-sue-over-afl-ambush-20130821-2sbrw.html

A pretty concise and clear summary of what most of us genuine Bomber supporters think. After 7 months of investigation, character assassinations, sackings, health issues... how much more punishment is needed for issues of governance when nothing illegal has been done.
