I knew you'd come with exactly that reply, this whole list is the same a straw pole... i.e nothing we say on here will change anything because it means nothing except to the people on the list. Straw pole.

what's a straw pole? is it something a straw man holds?

When a strawman debator truly masters his art, he's suspended by his clothes from a pole in the middle of the town. There, he can harangue everyone who passes by without having to hear their counter-arguments at all.

Bottom line, we're back in the top 4 by the end of 2015.
If we don't have a decent coach we'll get nothing from kids like Grundy, Freeman, Kennedy and the rest, Bomber is a proven leader of men, he has the pitiful dregs of Essendon ready to die for him, and dragged their sorry arses into finals. there's no point talking about Matthews, as much as I love him NO coach has ever succeeded at coaching three lists to a flag. Choco is also very good but he doesn't have the name recognition we need.

Get this STRAIGHT! We don't need a rebuild, utter bullshit! We need someone who can lift the morale of our list, that list was good enough to beat 5 of the final 8 THIS year. With a competent coach we could dominate the competition!
Don't you see it? Really? Come ON!!!!! THINK for chrissakes!!!

Hodor from Game of Thrones is less monotonous than this bloke and speaks more sense.
