Rd 17, 2010 Demons V Swans Pre-Game Discussion (with Teams)

And if we're talking specifically about the decision not to include Veszpremi this weekend, you don't even have to speculate about behind the scenes activity to hazard a creditable guess about why he's not in the team. He was just so-so in the reserves a fortnight ago, and was very ineffective last weekend. I have been a big Vez fan since the first time I saw him play, and I thought he was stiff to get dropped after the Port game. But he's done nothing onfield over the past couple of weeks to suggest he is hard done by this weekend by not being selected.

(Whether Jetta deserves a spot based on the last two weeks is also debateable, but he played a blinding half two weeks ago and a blinding 15 minutes last weekend. It's not much, but it is a whole heap more than Veszpremi.)

of course we can comment, just look at the team perforamce on game day and you wil see how effective the coaches are.Our playing list is certainly as good as Melbourne,s. Coaching however is not the same at all..result=Melbourne win.Smell the coffee!!Coaches need to be accountable not worshipped!

If I were offered both coaching jobs tomorrow I know which one i'd pick and it wouldn't be Sydney.

Not sure why you quoted this post and took from it that either a) you can't comment or b) coaches are being worshipped.

My post was merely agreeing with an earlier one in the thread that pointed out you can comment all you like but when it comes to some matters - specifcally in this instance the selection or non-selection of certain players - you are doing so based on a fraction of the information available to the coaches. Which means that most of the time they are far more likely to be making better judgements than any RWO poster is capable of doing.
