[Pass the Ball]

Ahem:

Crunch tackles.
Grapple tackes.
Chicken wing tackles.
Teacher'e pet.

You look stupider and stupider with ever post you make..

More excuses from the next generation..Always needing someone or something else to blame..

[trewhella]

I am me.
No one else is me.
I have one desktop computer, that's all.
I only have one ID here.
I have no time or inclination to play games and tricks.

You should try a trick or two.

Most of what you write is boring crap.
Might be a bit of fun, you know something different.
Like getting the missus to pop a digit in the kyber.

Maybe so but it's all true though.

Besides that, he's way too angry and cussing on tv during the games for my liking.

[Pass the Ball]

Don't get me wrong - I do not really want him here..But I can acknowledge what he has done in Melbourne..

He was passionate and driven to build a dynasty in Melbourne and he is/has done that.

He would not have the passion or drive to do the same at Easts..

That tops everything you've ever written here. You don't want Bellamy because he swears but you want the club to keep Carney!!!

Bellamy has had the benefit of being News Ltd's man in Melbourne at its club.
Take Slater, Smith and a few other players away, and him away from the Storm and see how good he is then.

Yep, Bellamy is an average coach.

LOL

Isn't the idea to have the older people at the club, the coach for example, being perfect role models for the players?

1-7 penalties by half time against us in matches and he wouldn't likely have any more success with our team than any other top coach.

Yes, and we know all about the Storm.

Yep - There the ones on top of the table aren't they?

You really think that coaches swearing are the problem and are providing a poor example for their players? Come on....what are you on? Whatever it is I want a pound of it!

[bondi-boy]

Well who'd have any respect for a coach who delivered expletive-laden tirades at his players?

Profanity is the language of the uncouth

Said the same thing about Rudd.

[bondi-boy]

Youtube "Ray Hadley spitting the dummy" to hear what it sounds like, this profanity y'all seem to 'want' in our dressing rooms etc.

I can't decide if BB is good for a laugh or is becoming just plain annoying??

What makes you think Smithy wouldn't drop the odd expletive or two in the dressing room?

that will do me.. Gould failed because he too often went for the quick fix and signed ageing veterans who offered nothing.. Graham Murray actually dispensed with this and was willing to give the young guys a go.. He couldn't get them there as a coach but gave them the opportunity to gain the experience which Ricky Stuart took advantage of. Gould could have coached another 5 years but i doubt he could of brought us a premiership. Experienced and Nice are good but unfortunately it takes a bit more than that to be a successful coach.

Who could forget the efforts of Rowdy Shearer and Paul Langmack in the RW & B.
