Prediction Top to bottom

[DrDavoren]

Ed answers to the members. We could be in for some bloody times.

Got to be some interesting conversations happening by the water cooler that's for sure

 

[Markfs]

Top two to bottom four within five years. That is reality. Where to from here?

i'm thinking of suing the club...i didnt sign up in 2010 to be part of a loser team...

I really doubt Ed will do anything in 2016, I have no faith in him to.

It's too easy to state we need a new gameplan and a new coach and then suddenly the team realises improvement almost immediately. It's so obvious that something needs to change, but what is that something?

At least state for the record what the gameplan needs to be? At least state who you think the new coach should be?

No good suggesting to change the coach and the gameplan if you have no suggestion what we change to.

For the record, I have no idea what the gameplan should be or who the next coach should be if we make changes.

Dew,Tudor,any number of assistant coaches around the country.I couldn't imagine any of them doing a worse job than Buckley has been doing in recent years.A game plan where they players actually seem to know what they're doing and know how to defend and attack would also be handy.

 

[doodles98]

Lets just merge with Richmond and be done with it.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

It's been pretty hard to watch. I think Bucks needs to go.

Ed and the board went a year early on Malthouse but moving him on was right in theory. Just shouldn't have got suckered into the romance of Buckley as coach. A proper process was what was needed, to get the best candidate who could have hit the ground running.

That's easy to see in hindsight.

Used to feel for Ed as he clearly loves the club.
But now he is setting us back many years due to his ego and not putting the club first.

Unfortunately this will be his legacy and gloss over the premiership and stability he brought to the club.

Nothing like a coup and bit of blood letting to satisfy the fringe lunatic that we are taking action. I'm certain the board have this in the strategic plan.

No point remaining calm, reviewing our performance and forensically examining all areas of the club when we can just have a good old fashion sacking.

Hell we could become Richmong like and have members burning their membership tickets to boot.

Fun times.

Ed has been president for almost 17 years. He's had a fair run.

 

[shizzle]

Well if we just have some patience and continue with the same coaching group, fitness staff etc who knows, I do hear they specifically targeted 2017 as a big year for us a few years back.

Targeted it as a year we can potentially get the number 1 draft pick by way of collecting the wooden spoon, I'd say their plan is working quite well, some may even say we are ahead of schedule.

 

[sloth6]

Need to get in some young talent and rebuild over 3-4 years

You can't rebuild without having high end draft picks. We won't have them.

 

[THATSGOLD]

So 5 + another 4 and it's the 90s all over again. We are currently at 1995.

Yes we need a calm thorough forensic examination to find out whether or not the Buckley coaching regime has worked these last 5 years.

Or.... we could just watch us play and have a look at the ladder. Over to you Sherlock.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Excellent.
Thread proceeding on autopilot

Post of year contender.

Doubt it.
Nobody will challenge.
Club is too entwined to Ed, may as well visit Stockholm

 

[Big Bryza]

Top two to bottom four within five years. That is reality. Where to from here?

No it's not.

Or perhaps we could let the lunatics run the asylum . Over to you captain obvious

This year is clearly gone, has been a horror show.

With a half decent run with injuries I think we can spike massively in 2017. (Granted, we are coming from a low base)

What the coaching panel looks like in 2017 is anyone's guess. I'm at the stage now where I don't give a hoot who is coaching us, as long as performance improves markedly.

To be flogged on a regular basis and out of finals contention before the mid point of the season is unacceptable.

 

[doodles98]

No it's not.

errr. yes it is

 

[Unknown Identity]

There seems to be a direct correlation between hiring ex collingwood players and the rapid decline down the ladder!..

Interesting correlation. Don't doubt it.

Another correlation is our players who pass the ball back to the opposition is in direct correlation to our losing.

 

[pablo disco bar]

So is treloar worth pick 7 and 4?

 

[BPikkers]

We have the talent to maybe just scrap into the 8 with a good injury run, but we're in the premiership business.. we need to build a premiership team, not a team who can make an elimination final then lose

Yeah but you are adding players each year. You need to start somewhere and we do have some great young kids. Grundy and a very young midfield who are talented, and Moore, Fasolo and Elliot on the forward line as a start looks dangerous. A fit Scharenberg and Aish improving with a Ramsay and Langdon and you have something to work with which has air of upside. Still very young.

We do need another KPP in defense and another quick runner from had back.

But, I don't think we need a total rebuild. We need to plug gaps and no doubt we will have at least 1 or 2 players each year who will come through.

We hear this ****ing excuse each year. "oh next year we'll build to finals. We're a good young side." And each year we're just disappointed. This list will not win a flag, let alone make finals.

I have no issue with this. I recall a time back in 2001-02 that we were near the top and then dropped bottom in 05-06. and then back up we went. all with the same coach. like MM bucks should be given a full cycle also .
