Plus Judd Bottoming out has rarely proved successful Us, Melbourne (twice) Bulldogs, Carlton, Essendon and Ricmond have gone right down.... Never won It guarantees ZERO....

Didn't get ago until Ross came along though? Oh thanks for clarifying.... Lovett wasn't a hack. Eddy wasn't recycled. How come its only St Kilda supporters that think he is doing a bad job at Fremantle? And the rest of the football world praise the transformation he has had on that team? Bitter? Ja...

You would have thought there would be close to a full house for Coll/Freo.

Sadly I cant see us winning a game this year.

Jeez, a bit pessimistic there. We'll win some games and I fancy our chances in round 1.

Accepting failure is never good, it destroys a culture of competitiveness

I'm yet to see the fruits of tanking

I actually believe it destroyed Melbourne...

I'll go hee, if we didn't tank in the last few games of 2002. That worked out well for us.

All I have to say on the matter now is, good riddance to Westaway and Nettlefold.

Good riddance Nettlefold, not only incompetent but also immoral.

Stanley just needs to build the confidence to back himself. I'd also like to see him tried on the wing.

Jimmy Webster was sensational. Particularly his effort against Crameri late in the 3rd when he saved a probable goal.

Just read the thread in the Animal Enclosure. Absolutely brilliant, how refreshing it is when people say what they think, in these mundane and vacuous PC times. By the way Back From USA, can you please clearly define what you consider to be bullying or abuse. As in my view you are rather confused ab...

Disgraceful Mordecai, you should have not heard the matter.

I think the day would be a resounding success for all if they fired dwarves out of cannons.

Jeez, Chips has gone from one of my favourites to one I almost despise in a few short years. I don't know the bloke personally, but it seems like he has change a lot since he got hit that time a few years ago. At the time it was, oh no, poor Chips, he is such a nice lad - I reckon we'd just be shak...

Now, let's all be completely honest here - The Rolling Stones' last decent record was released in 1981. Mind you, that one was a far cry from matching their best material from the 60's. Not interested in 70 year old grandads milking it for what it's worth. Not to mention, none of them couldn't give...

You really can't fake the genuine excitement and "niceness" of this bloke. Probably true, but "niceness" isn't always a good quality in a boss. If you want to get high performance from a team, sometimes you have to be a bastard. Let's hope he's got that in himself as well. I hav...

Tommy Lee

I'm confused, is this thread about Dempster's todger?

ASADA ought to change their name to the PWA, Petty Wankers Association.

Wow Jones was good value. Peter McConville, as mentioned, was quite good and Ken Sheldon given his overall contribution to our club down the track, was certainly an asset. The rest, well???

Surely we have a PR department that should vet things like this? Not prepared to accept the excuse that players did it off their own bat without consulting the club. Serious questions need to be asked of our "leadership group", surely one amongst them would have questioned the PR implicat...

Back on topic... didn't that article say that the coterie person in question received the email in question from another coterie member who was quite happy to contribute something, not from the players...? And as for concerns re it all being a 'PR disaster'... well Mr Coterie, mate, only because yo...

The Victorian Centres Against Sexual Assaults is upset that when someone cries rape, the guy is not convicted automatically.
