    Pack your bags McCartney...

    I'm sick hearing the spin, the crap about how we should be doing this and that, sick of the contested ball focus.

    The coach has got us into this position. He has swayed the recruiting staff to go after the same type of player that we already have...slow midfielders who can't kick. Does he teach them anything at training. I don't see it on the field.

    What was with our handball tonight...trigger happy handball. It's because he has a team full of players who can't run...all they can do is handball...it's the leading root of most of our problems. I could go on but I won't bore you...we as supporters are already suffering from that pathetic display.

    Time to go coach. Make way for the next person.

        Do you really think our playing list issues are only a result of the last 2 years of recruiting? And how are Stringer & Macrae the same type of player we already have. Our troubles have been building for longer than that?

            Disagree, we need to build the club on this. It doesn't need to be the main focus but it is one of the right things to focus on. Good clubs have that ethic.

            Did this once from what I know. We have a list manager in place now and I believe he will be making the calls.

            Agree, it was a very poor night for skill execution.

                Yes, and appoint someone else and after we're struggling next year sack another coach.
                Fair Dinkum some people.While we're up there lets thank Scott Clayton for leaving a complete hole in 2006. That's the reason we're struggling

                  He's moved on coaches before. Not sure why you are making the reference about a smiling president.

                    The diabolical mess that has left us with Boyd, Cross, Murphy, Giansiracusa, Cooney, Griffen, Morris, Picken, Minson and a couple of others as a legacy of the best part of ten years of list development is our issue.

                    I'm still not sold on the coach, but the issues are legacy issues more than anything else.

                      Just highlighting we need real leadership, and I think he's the man to do what is needed. I agree G.

                        Dead right. Players from 06 would in their prime right now.
                        Everitt, Ward from 07! Look I'm still unsure on the coach but sacking him now shouts panic stations.

                          Fully agree. He inherited an unbalanced list with poor skills and very one paced. He might not be the man to fix it but we are at least playing the youngsters.

                            Yep.

                            He said improvement will come in the 2nd half of 2013... If it doesn't we will be negligent to not look at his position.

                              All positions should be under review if we don't perform better in the 2nd half of the season.

                              We have a lot to but we have to at least see it through.
