It's the quality issue not quantity.

Nah. We've already had Mundy tell us if you don't like things the way they are, then we are not real supporters. Stuff that. If the players want to play for the coach and not the club, that is their business, but I don't have to abide it.
Ah. It's not the wand it's the magic
Analyzing cause and effect is not really as simple as you probably think it is. There are so many variables in AFL that a straight forward loss = bad coach / win = good coach doesn't work and requires a lot more nuance than that which you need to do when looking at any correlations.
We have a young immature list that has been ravaged by injury. On the weekend our players made dumb mistakes in key moments. It's not really fair to hang Ross based on that.
Ah, as I used to say to my girlfriend. It's not the wand it's the magic
While I think he's done a great job this year, he's still inexperienced and learning. I'd still be keen on getting ex Freo boy Neil Balme, with Bell understudy.
I also like someone's suggestion about Mark Brayshaw for three years or so to get us back on our feet.
I'm agreeing with you, I think. I wasn't a fan of getting Bell thinking it was too much of jobs for the boys, but I think he's job a very good job of footy manager, and has not the experience or ability yet to be CEO.Has he done a great job this year? What has he actually achieved so far? Peter Bell as CEO in 2020 is one of the more ridiculous ideas I have ever heard, in what world does Peter Bell have any experience to be the CEO of the Fremantle Football Club?
How about we let him do his current job and see how that goes, I hope he will ultimately be successful however the people praising him are only doing so because of his club status.

He's observing, learning popping up everywhere and trying to make changes but he's been overruled in a couple of big plays by Rosich. One example where I'd be backing Bell was when he was going for the new List Manager from Adelaide, but was overruled. Now he's the one in the firing line trying to meet with clubs to talk about Billy and not the L plater he wasn't allowed to replace.
I was suggesting Neil Balme for Rosich's position for a few years to get us back on track, which is what he's an expert at, then Bell can have a shot.

- I know most of you give no s**ts about Freo but it would be good for Dockers to reconnect with it's roots in a new way. Connect with the success of the place. Freo is one of the great footy cities there's got to be a positive way to tap into that that the players and supporters can get around. We are so corporate feeling these days imo.
Rosich needs to be fired as well as the pre-pubescant boy that is masqurading as our list manager. Hopefully the rumours are true and Bell is appointed and he can sort out the front-office.
Not talking about financial, although losing members and not being able to fill the stadium will impact in future if we don't sort out other problems.I'm sorry but back on our feet? We're a profitable club rebuilding and have improved on our last couple of years with a tonne of injuries in key positions, obliterating any depth in the forward line. That line may have been throw away but Ffs we're nowhere near a basketcase so maybe our dialouge should at least reflect that.

I'd call getting back on our feet when we're making finals and a threat for Premiership. Includes getting S&C and coaching improvement. Also the situation now with Bell being over ruled and RTB getting his yes men in place (Rosich, Hale and Rock), S&C problems that may be more club policy than incompetence and losing our fairest and best players in consecutive years is the minimal that needs to be addressed.

Simple answer is Depth!
We had it all those Ross Lyon early years! Need someone to able to fill anyones position if injured
...While it’s harsh given he hasn’t really been given a go, a respected list manager with some kind of success behind them. The fact we had to settle for a GC list dude for our list manager does not fill me with confidence in our ability to bring in elite off-field talent
Its fair enough and I was less than sold on the initial decision to make him GM of Football. I would have preferred someone experienced in the role and from outside Freo. Almost everything Bell is reported to have done so far (hardball in trades last year, look to be gutting the assistants, focusing on WA talent and making sure the list manager is based in Perth and look to kick out the list manager for someone more qualified), i have agreed with. Its also pretty damn hard to attract highly experienced and regarded front-office personnel in the first place and given we likely couldnt bring in any big names, I think his credentials were (just) enough for the role. I cant say the same for dude who has worked at arguably the worst managed list in the AFL for the couple of years before us.Could swap “GC” for club legend and “list manger” for head of football...so far from being convinced on Bell.
