Nah, they soon move on to the next one like a pack of piranha.

But but according to Vader Griggy got lots of chances. hahaha. Griggy to carve Dmac up this week.
What was interesting about his return was the deafening silence from the "you don't change a winning team" Mackay supporters. Instead, they somehow convinced themselves that JJ replaced Gooch and Mackay went inside to replace Hampton. All changes effectively forced
. Now he's dropped again after a typical Mackay performance and not a single post lamenting his unlucky exclusion and supporting his, "ok for Mackay" season. Even his most ardent admirer, CrowCro, who pre-selection stated that Dmac gets so many inside handballs that it's not funny and the players love his running patterns, goes completely missing when his charge is dropped. Apart from that deluded soul, as I've said before, support for Mackay's selection is only support for the selectors, rather than having an actual opinion on Mackay's actual performance.
I'm probably not his biggest fan, but you'd have to think he'd be wondering what he did wrong. His performance, outside of 2-3 games each year, was no worse than what he's served up over his last 130 games. But I'm sure the communication would be first class and he's been dropped a number of times and would know he remains close to selection and he just needs to keep working hard on the track.

I don't know why all the concern about these footy players and their mental health.
No one I know is getting a game in an AFL team this weekend and they are doing fine and probably earning less than a first year rookie.
Everyone is under stress pretty much, be it financial, health, relationships, employment, what ever.
In all they have a pretty cushie existence while contracted.
Consider that 1 billion people live on less than $1.00 a day and 50% of the earths people live on less than $2.50 a day.
And yet you want a board which plays nice.
EC, no we want a board that plays the ball and not the man and a board that doesn't snipe at one another
It would be a win-win trade
Is that what she did when she referred to some posters on here like a pack piranha? Was that playing the ball of the man or was that a snipe?

A board?
Just ONE thread. And, am I wrong?
She was wrong they aren't piranha they are brainless sheep that mindlessly follow each other

Or maybe quite a few people on here share similar opinions, because they actually have a clue?
So you don't mind if we don't play nice, just as long as it's not in your thread?A board?
Face it Jenny you are a hypocrite, you don't like the angst on here but like throwing a jab when you have the chance. Your post was unnecessary.
Really? So I and others are brainless sheep wanting Mackay out of the side? It took the coaches and some other posters a while to catch on but he's out again.
Some of us knew exactly what we were going to get from Mackay, a few good games before he eventually crumbles when the heat is applied just like we've seen over the last 3 years.
But I would have thought the approach that you don't change a winning side shows simple thinking, you can always improve a team if you get the average ones out.
You're on here, do you have a clue?
I must be a sheep I've called for Mackay gone when he isn't playing well and happy for him to stay when he plays well.
He isn't a terrible player as you would have everyone believe and he isn't great either he is where he is around 22 to 25 on the list
We have been lucky again this year having to only use 27 players due to injury and expect gov and brown back soon so you wouldn't expect we will go over 30 players which on averages is fantastic
And as we all know using less players gives you a far better chance of making the finals
If we did use 33 players Mackay would need to be used for most of the year
I don't care who the player is I'm being critical of as it's about winning
ATM Sloane is in the firing line we have lost 3 games and if you are honest he is the reason mostly as his output must be more than anyone else but most don't care to be critical of Sloane I like Sloane have surfed with him but he would know he is down and the team is suffering because of it

I hope so he looks like a Douglas type to me just a slightly younger version, could replace him if he does well and we don't get more injuries.
Why would you want Douglass not in the team he played a blinder that went a long way to winning the game for us in the showdown. Hinkley and Pyke giving him votes in the AFLCA award suggests that anyway
Great to develop kids but as far as I'm concerned we have a chance at a premiership every game is super important this year it is far from a development year probably why galluci was given a taste and that's all
If we were sitting 10 th go your hardest at development

You have been slow on the uptake with Mackay but you got there in the end.
But you obviously rated Mackays value in our wins more than most. The thing is we could have played Wigg for example instead of Mackay all year and be in the same position. Instead we've wasted another 10 games on a player who has continually let us down. He's been dropped twice, that's not on the back of 2 poor games, that's a sustained run of average to poor games we've tolerated from him. Right now instead of having no idea about Wigg we would know what he has to offer.
And playing a small number of players can be disadvantageous. Last year we copped late injuries and because we hadn't tested our squad we played injured players.
The Bulldogs on the other hand copped injuries all year, their while squad had a taste and at the end of the year they knew who they wanted to play in the finals and they all had games under their belt.
Why do you insist on characterising the whole board like this? Call out the individuals with the rabid comments and you would have my support.

We've got plenty of speed in the side what we lack is strong mature bodies. From what I've noticed at SANFL he's no slower than Dougie anyway.
The bulldogs fluked it last year, if we were Sydney last year this board would have more than melted they should have won the flag and if that happened to us we would be pissed for the next 50 years even you would admit that
Did you see Sydney tear them apart last night with physical contests
Bulldogs right place right time don't compare them to the hawks they were deadset lucky
The hawks when their window is open play their best team and so they should it's about getting top 2 or top 4 simple as that to give yourself the best opportunity to win the flag
We had f all injuries last year we lost a couple of important games like the hawthorn game and west cost game that could have changed our season but it is what it is
Is Wigg up to it I don't know was grigg up to it again it appears not is CeY up to it I doubt it is Hampton Menzel then you could say Greenwood knight Kelly and seeds afl standard there are question marks but looking at the team we have a definite 18 that we know are do you go youth in a premiership chance or experience the coach who gets paid the big bucks will make that call
Will those last 4 spots make any huge difference we carried players like Keating in a gf so who knows
I can say if players like Sloane betts walker fire maybe not
