    Will Eade have the balls to drop Darcy and Hahn?
    I'd be surprised if Hahn was demoted but Darcy might get a spell. At a guess I don't think Eade is the type of coach that likes making wholesale changes.

    Slightly off the subject but does anyone else think the club diverted the media's attention away from our shocking performance against the Swans by raising the whole issue of selling off home games? The media seemed to focus on that rather than question our insipid performance.

    I think the club did this expecting that we would bounce back against the Blues and that it would just blow over. Now that we missed that opportunity as well we really need to have the blow torch applied to the players and coaches so try and lift us from this slump.

    Thoughts?

      Yes, so how does he send a meseage to the team without wielding the axe?

      Via a shock demotion.

      Someone high profile will be playing for Werribee next week. It could be Darcy.
      Consider some of our best players at Werribee last week - Minson, Doogs, Everitt, Skipper.
      At 193cm, Skipper is the shortest of the bunch.

        While Minson is a more likely inclusion, it wouldn't surprise me to see Skipper get the nod as the replacement for Darcy and to support Street. Skip was pretty good on Saturday.

          Seems most here think Darcy should get the chop?
          The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

            Only for a week or so. I want him to get a bit of the ball at the Bees before returning. Still very much in the plans as far as I am concerned.

              I'd still be pretty surprised if Darcy missed.
              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?
