I hate that we are so bereft of ideas that we can only think of trying to relive our glory days. Let's get the band back together? Pur-lease!

A no from me.

I dunno. I hate him but I can't pretend I'm not intrigued. Also enormously enjoying Teflon's unbridled joy. What will we say of him? He's a pr*ck, but he's our pr*ck? Oh gawd.

What’s coaching got to do with their performance The list is terrible They have been beaten by better sides and beat worse sides Dal cannot make them better than they are, they are very average with a shitload of injuries. What should Dal do that’s better? lol - at last a coach who can prove your p...

I'd like to know what the process was before appointing dal santo. Clueless. And someone suggested bringing him over to coach the men. In a way I wish they would - if it means then they'll appoint a proper coach for the women.

I sorta think there is something wrong with that actually. I don't think it sits very well with 'strength through loyalty'!

Whoops sorry - just making a point!

I was as p!ssed off as anyone when Ross walked out on us, but over the years I have had time to reflect and have come to the conclusion that he is the best coach we have had at our club. We have been wallowing in mediocrity since the day he left, and I am desperate to get him back. I miss the feeli...

What I really can't bear is how smug he'd be. He walked out on us and still we begged him to come back. I don't think my stomach is strong enough.

I guess we’ll follow the modern trend of running a “process”. I can see why clubs do it as it gives them an “out” when things go tits up, some sort of plausible deniability. Would be refreshing if the club just picked someone and backed them in. I agrree. If Lyon wants the job, give it to him. Spar...

GT and Lyon had one thing in common: they got the players believing they could win. Doesn't matter how good you are if you don't believe you can win. And if you do believe, anything's possible - look at the doggies' flag. GT got them believing in themselves, Lyon got them to believe in his game pla...

Tough call brave call and rather than worry about the perception from outside the club they just did what needed to be done.

How did nobody notice this when he first filled in for richo. King of the kids from the get-go.

Somebody said we developed him for five years - i suspect the real problem is that we didn't.

This appears to be the result of a club operating at the extreme end of the 'professionalism' spectrum. They've behaved like a cult. Stripping players of their phones. Demanding they should have no distractions. Cutting them off from their old lives. Whichever poster said they were sure the coaches ...

The verbatim reporting of allegations/stories from one side in an extract from a third party report does not provide balance. Particularly given the shock/horror slant the ABC is giving. The stories/scenarios outlined could easily be depicted completely differently by an objective assessment of pla...

Equalisation seems to have worked pretty well - geelong, Richmond, dogs, Dees - all lifted themselves off the mat in recent memory. We did too of course for our brief spell in the sun just without reaping the ultimate prize. Brisbane too had that miserable dip after their dynasty but have risen agai...

Good coaches don’t demand anything Are you a boss/manager?! Do you demand stuff?? If you did, your employees would consider you a c***! Good. managers aren't too fussed about seeming a c***. Your boss isn't your mate you know. Freely, you are clearly clueless about leadership and managing a team. Y...

Just saw the score against the hawks ) Course so far we've only played expansion teams and wonder how well go next wk against Melbourne. still abhor the nds appointment but can't help grinning while we're winning!

Better than a scrapper.

Yes, Battle has found his niche in the backline and is a valuable player.

I don't argue with this.

Sadly, our core group should be headed by Billings who, for one reason or another, disappoints every season, and Ross, Steele, Marshall and Membrey, who are all good but not good enough. These are our senior players and unfortunately they're just not good enough to build a dominant team around. Thes...

who have we had that has his skills recently ?

I reckon Hunter Clark's got the goods if he puts in the work. I hope the rumours about him getting traded are wrong.
