Re: Following our ex's...................

Still won't run both ways. Awful with the touches he's had and 1 tackle despite Collingwood having the ball twice as often. He's borderline stealing wages off them to be honest. To think Cooney & Jones = Biggs, Daniel & Hamilton.

Could imagine Dedildo and Carton phoning up and wanting the trade reversed. Too late. Sorry.

ANZAC Day: Cooney is playing like shite. Shadow of the champ who pulled on our Guernsey.

It's actually really sad to watch.

His Brownlow seems an eternity ago.

Yeah.

Never mind. watching Caleb Daniel over the next few years will cheer us up.

Unfortunately the output of the second half of his career will/has diminished the player he will be remembered as.
I don't look forward to many years of trying to defend him when plenty of people will label him as being one of the 'worst brownlow medalists ever'.

Only bulldogs supporters will remember just how good he was for a few years there.

Buyer beware. I wonder if our medical team did ever get around to returning GWS phone calls about his back?

Re: Following our ex's...................

What's happened to Tutty? Last I read Chris Judd was saying he was going to become elite based on his preseason, but he keeps playing at VFL. Did Juddy mean elite at VFL level maybe?

They could have checked with Dougie.

Liam is killing today, good on him. It's nearly half time of the big club blockbuster and he's personally got 25% of the match goals combined from both teams. Huge effort.

Re: Following our ex's...................

I actually can't believe I'm supposed to be watching elite sport.

Re: Following our ex's...................

What's supposed to be elite about these two comic troupes? They are only there for the laughs and occasional drama or tragedy.

It is a crime that this match wasn't on Friday night.

New Tahs coach Michael McLean promises hard work and harmony as he rebuilds the club




MICHAEL McLean has promised to rebuild NTFL club Waratah from the ground up after being appointed senior coach at Gardens Oval for the next three seasons.

The 51-year-old has previously coached at rival Premier League clubs Nightcliff (two grand finals) and Southern Districts and brings with him a wealth of on and off field experience.

A 183-game playing career at the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane, the inaugural captain of the indigenous All-Stars and later the side’s coach, a senior premiership with Districts and Division One club Tracy Village and the inaugural coach of Territory Thunder are all on his resume.

And in a twist, he is returning to the club he played under-16 football with in the mid 1970s.

Asked if he could resurrect Waratah from two disappointing seasons and create a winning club culture, McLean said he was ready for the challenge.

“I hope so, I believe in what I do as a coach and to do that you need support and hopefully that will be in place at Waratahs,’’ he said.

“I’m getting the vibes that there will be plenty of it around here, so hopefully we’ll all be on the same page and heading in the same direction.

“My goal is to be super competitive from the start and hit the ground running and from that build a core group of senior players up again.

“I just hope people are patient, success doesn’t happen overnight but with the right attitude and a lot of hard work this club can get back up again.’’

A staff development mentor with the highly successful Stars Foundation schools engagement program for indigenous girls, McLean is a big fan of teamwork, harmony and trust.

“All the sides I’ve coached over the years, nine times out of 10 they’ve been super competitive with a will to win and to play for each other,’’ he said.

“All the positives are here at Waratahs, the infrastructure is here, it’s a proud club that’s 100 years old and it’s a very important year.

“And while I’m keen to keep our Thunder players like Justin Beugelaar, Sam Talbot and Sam Godden, there is the Jake Smarts, James Wray, Iain MacPherson, all of whom are very important to the footy club.’’

Mclean is still unsure on a start date for pre-season training, though he wants it be inside a 10 to 12-week window before the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

One thing is certain, we have to start a bit earlier than normal because of the situation the club is in at the moment,’’ he said.

Acting club president Trevor Oliver is confident McLean is the answer to Waratahs’ prayers.

“We all believe Mago can do the job and get this club back to where it belongs, it’s why we’ve given him the job,’’ Oliver said.
