Macca has not done that much wrong, yes we should have won more games this year, but the list still has not been right. The list that he did have to deal with didn't do too bad of a job and continue to improve from the 100 point hiding a we got in 2013. If you look back we could have won 13 games this year and that would have put us in the eight. I know we didn't and I'm talking about could/should/would stuff but the improvement on 2013 is plain to see. If Macca gets sacked off that season then I'm guessing it's all on the players and they will have a hell of a lot to live up to. One more draft hit hard, try even to get a top 3 pick and I reckon the list will be getting close to complete, its then at the end of 2015 we can go and get a couple of recycled players....just stay calm and stick by Macca!

I just want to here legitimate reasons as to why your so wrapped up in this bloke? What's the game plan ? Why are you so baffled by his bullshit teaching mantra? He's never played the game telling brownlow medalists and 200 game players how to play the game. Just tell me as to why he is Our Mastermind?????????

What the GF taught me was that tough, uncompromising contested football, combined with positional flexibility, good footskills and decision making beats a massive salary cap advantage. We are slowly heading down this path.... Need more footskills and leg speed though - plus a few more KPP's.
So getting three extra picks in the draft will answer those needs.

Is that not what he did when he extended his contract?
It's all rumour and innuendo at the moment. Don't give it oxygen.
Why even report it & then quash it practically in the same sentence?!!!
Stevens a 'Dogs supporter too - wtf?
I mean, maybe it's a huge rumor going around in the parallel universes that are the media & AFL so he's reported it, but if that's right who would have started this destructive garbage?

Like I said earlier, we're losing 16th, 19th and ??? in last years B&F. You'd hope the kids will step up further and the extra picks if used creatively will help. What pick did we get Darley for last year ?

Never seen such outrage over mediocre players leaving :drunk:.

Imagine the shitstorm if someone good actually left!

Thanks mate. Already shows more defensively than Higgins. Still a major work in progress, but proof that there are bargains out there for the astute....
he's improved a hell of a lot from his first vfl game, played a shutdown role on rioli and did pretty well till howard kicked the ball to him.
