With all the crazy merry go round with coaches I see that McIdiot has not been linked to any team. Does that mean all 16 teams would not want him.
Just on the "merry do round" of coaches I don't really think there has been much of a merry go around.
Barrett has resigned, Griffin was sacked. Thats it.
Bellamy stays with Storm
Bennett stays with Broncos
Seibold stays with Souths
Have I missed something?
Who is going where? Explain the merry go round?

Yeah mate I'm an optimist too - and the only one on this forum who seems to reckon the troops in our 30 can win a Grandfinal - with the right 17 in the field.

This year!

I despair at the poor selections that have hamstrung our chances.

Death by a thousand cuts

McFMD would've been toast by now had it not been for a few individual efforts that've won games since May. I've been away, but I heard Duff won one, and Luc was his saviour last week?
Absolutely no coaching smarts evident anywhere - except, at last, the inclusion of Field 'for points'' last week?
FFS get Lomax & Herbert into the centres now and give the team a chance!
Someone said he'd like us to play the Rorters in the semi! What? For Aitken (Lovechild #2) to get stitched up again?

Maybe our statisticians cum apologists could work out how many games/points the Latkens have dudded us this year?
But how can u measure lost breaks thru lack of speed etc failure to backup, set up wingers with deft passing etc, marking ur fuccing man etc???

So you haven't been watching us play this year? That makes a lot of sense to me now.

Not sure I understand this one or the riming?

Love you Thommo - always loved watching you play and seeing you around the traps .... feeling for all your family and friends digger

Just saw a Brad Arthur clip of press conference on news. His team have all but secured the wooden spoon, just lost by 40 to 15th and he says "at least we tried tonight".
Imagine Mary won a spoon!

This might be the Eels 14th spoon.

We are the only current pre-1982 club to have avoided the spoon - and we've never won it, as our boys are too proud of our history!
Such a great club - and with the right administrative decisions we'd've won a couple of titles on the trot since 2010.

I dunno, 31 years without a title seemed like an awfully long time.
Fine we made quite a few grand finals in that time, but making grand finals is not what it's about.

In terms of grand finals I absolutely agree.

But since 2011 we have just been making up the numbers - our best result has been 8th.

We have not won a single finals game since 2010!

When was the last time we this bad for this long? The late 80s were pretty bleak and before that you would have to go back to the 30s or 40s I suppose.

Great, thanks for pointing that out, I feel much worse now.

Don't compare mediocrity with mediocrity.

The difference between poo and shit is nothing.

Compare Storm and us.

To make you feel better, we won the comp in 1941 and 1949.

2012 till now is the worst 7 years, maybe we broke a mirror and the 7 years curse is now ending.

Hope!

Ummmmm the team coming 16th put 40 on us two weeks ago.
But they have still won the wooden spoon. Its not about getting smashed by a team below you or beating a team above you its about consistency across the season and how many games you have won.
We have won a lot of games and shouldn't be compared with the team that has only won a handful.

Just doesn’t make sense, does it.
Mmmm
Just watching ISP.
For Mc WTF to keep Lomax, Field & Herbert out of our team for the semis is a deliberate act of sabotage

The apologists can relay this message at Mc I Know SFA's next family BBQ

Wake up fellas & stop spinning for a coach whose selections are clearly so detrimental to our chances of making the GF
