So why does Mick have to comment?


It's considered polite to answer questions from the media during a press conference.

Jeffy hasn't done enough to warrant senior selection for some time, and his last game for NB's was no exception. Even if he had, the teams aren't announced until Thursday and there's a few major training sessions to get through between Monday and Thursday.

Mick's clearly using this as an opportunity to send a message to the rest of the group, *not* Jeffy.

And for those whinging about White being handled differently - as if treating players in the seniors different to those playing NB's is a revelation. How many times did Fev f*ck up with no reprimand? Bootsma was chopped as soon as we could get it past the AFLPA. White's not Fev, he's a "good ordinary player" who responded to the challenges set before him (terrible injury), who tries his heart out and leaves nothing on the park. That's why he's in, Jeffy is not.

Good post.

Surely its a balance thing. If you are trying your guts out, making progress with your game and efforts then you have earned a little bit of respect and leeway.
When you havent been doing all those things then you are expected to show more than other players, that you are serious about getting your spot back. He didnt. Suffered the consequences. Whats the problem? Or does everyone deserve a nice shiny ribbon for participation?

The AFL has told MM that he chooses who we play, where we play and what time we play for round 7 next year.
This is when he will break the games coaching record.
I wonder what his choice will be?

You used to be such an open minded and well rounded poster here and on most topics i'd suggest thats still the case. This weeks rants on Malthouse have descended into emotive dribble.

I have heard he paid the blokes up to beat Jeff up too.
All part of his master plan to get Jeffy out of the Club.

It was much easier to trick Robbo to stay out.
Just told him to follow Jeff.

why the great need to defend ?
if he does a good job onfield..yay.
we all want the best for our club.
you can't make me like the character flaws.
I have, given credit when it's due
can't do more than that.
I thought it was quit a good joke.
can't win 'em all.
(thanks for the nice things you said..appreciated!)
don't go into disdaning pot shots though..you are better than that. :smile: :gift:

ps. If I'm really upsetting people..I'll TRY not to be so provocative.
It's just I can't stand the glorifying, and you know..as I said...I've heard some stuff..
and, you know..not just 'this person said that' stuff..
I don't get the preciousness

Not a Malthouse lover myself but can see progress. Small but it is there. I just think that BBW has already stolen enough of that type of oxygen around here.

Beany,

and this is my continuing take on it.
many of us do not like him

but, we have him, and yes, there is progress.
why does that mean we have to shut up about his obvious flaws though?

ps.I find BBW very entertaining. :grin:

(I thnk the more he got picked on, the more I went over to his side of things. :wink: )

What a load of bollocks. He has character flaws? Yep we all do. Lets not forget he is here to coach. Does his character flaws prevent him from coaching? Obviously no. Therefore this is all,irrelevant bs. Bored people with character flaws all their own , trying to assassinate the character of one of the games most colourful, respected senior coaches. Get over yourselves , get out on the training track yourselves, blow a few cobwebs out and you might find the endorphins will cheers you up.

I wonder how many Hawks supporters want to give back their flags because they don't feel comfortable that they won them with an angry coach who starts fights at little league games and punches walls ....

Character flaws are acceptable when you're winning, just not when you're losing.
