Well something's gone seriously wrong. Just 2 years ago our structures and ability to create and win contests made us one of the most, if not the most feared team in the competition. The one no one wanted to play. Now they're lining up. Seriously, watching spuds like Hanley strolling into open goal...

As soon as we let Goddard go, we signalled to the whole football world, that we are not serious for AT LEAST the next 4-5 years.

Watters has a very difficult job that I think very few wanted.

We have no choice but to hope that this guy is some sort of prodigy.

In my opinion, the minute Nettlefold walked in the door,
The club has gone backwards.

Coincidence or incompetence?

Think he's shot.

Had an excellent first half of the year, but I think just wear and tear is getting to him now.

Needs to be carefully managed for the rest of the year.

Next year probably his last I would say.

He did poorly on both counts for this game

Have to disagree, if his objective is to try and get us the earliest draft pick possible, without looking like tanking,

Then I say he is doing a very good job.

The fact that they are continually giving their all and are "in the game" for at least 3 quarters, shows something positive. We will improve a bit more next year. My worry is that there are no key position replacements for Rooey and Sam Fisher coming through. I would hate for the team to ...

The PERFECT day for a farewell for both Kosi & Blakey could be the FAN DAY on August 25 when we play Gold Coast at Etihad. This just happens to be the same day as our March around Etihad !! I seriously wish you had more say in how things are run down in Seaford, I doubt that Knucklehead Nettlef...

What? No KOSI for his 200th?

Mitchell 29 Lake 31 Hodge 29 Sewell 29 Guerra 31 Osborne 31 Gibson 29 Hale 29 Burgoyne 31 That's 9 players in the twilight or nearing their twilight Strong similarities with our 2011 list. However, we didn't have a Rioli or a Roughead in their prime. We had a Goddard, though. With Franklin off to G...

Pain is watching years of drama and building come to nought. Pain is missing out on a flag by a toe poke, then another by a bounce. Several years of development may not always be fun but it doesn't have to be painful. As long as we learn the lessons of the past... and we don't implode or fritter aw...

Lyon's coaching a team that's still two thirds players who couldn't do anything right under Harvey. They're sitting just outside the top four. Watters has piloted a finals team into the bottom four. If anyone's not worried, I envy them. I can't be sure right now that Watters isn't the problem. I ca...

And wright

Onya joey

If the police hadn't charged Milne this week, Even the CEO wouldn't have been there to join us in celebrating our three milestones. Pathetic nettlefold , seriously pathetic . Really think you should get your facts straight. Was at the presidents function and nettlefold spoke very well about milney....

Pathetic nettlefold , seriously pathetic .

Excellent clubman.

Be very happy to see him celebrate his 200th

Top bloke!

The one positive about this season was the squeaky clean off field image we maintained. Now we are in the media for all the wrong reasons - again and today I find myself reading about player rebellions. I must admit I am border line giving up. It's too much and has been too hard for too long. Can't...

So he wouldn't have cut short the holiday if this didn't come about and wouldn't of been there to see a club champion and a club great get to there 250 game milestones??? That's how it reads Surely not...... If so then pretty poor imo. Any other CEO I would have thought, unbelievable , but nettlefo...

WOW!

This is very bad.

You Could be right, Im thinking of Neil Balme, whats his role at the club?[/quote]


Football manager.[/quote]

Yes you are correct.

Who's our football manager, and why is he not getting a gig?

He has to have holidays and the busiest time of the year is the off season. We had a 2 week break between games. Makes sense to me. Of course he should have know this would happen though.[/quote] Nothing to do with should have known.... Anyhoo, Agree to disagree. I just don't really like the guy as ...

CEO's should never take holidays. well....not during the footy season...imhfo...he's as bad as dimspew.... People do realise a CEO would work harder in the off season than when the season starts. Geelond CEO just came back from 6 weeks in the states but hey thats different. Its different because hi...

Corrected for non sarcastic appropriateness ( is that even a word?).

There was a bye. He may be overseas for 2 - 3 days. He may be in New Zealand. Let's not jump at shadows. Is it ok to "jump at shadows" now ? He is holidaying in Italy. This is one CEO who is always on the ball :roll: Did the CEO know this was going to happen? of course not. Nettlefold can...

if its annual leave why go for a holiday during the season anyhoo did i hear somewhere he was at a wedding over there not sure maybe that was something else i read on a diff topic +1 Even if it is a wedding, he is getting paid VERY big money to make certain "sacrifices". I would say one o...
