    After the weekend's defeat, I came to the conclusion that if we aren't going to keep Jones next year we need to get let him go now. In doing so, we bring in a coach for 2.5 years and give them to assess the squad that we currently have to establish who they want to keep or release while starting to implement the football the way we want them to.

    We also back them during January with a signing of some intent - like Matt Spiranovic. Show we are serious and looking to build. In addition, we aggresively chase someone like Jamie Maclaren as a striker.

    If we don't, we get to the same point we have the last 3 years - an off season where off-contract players have been re-signed for a year or two, or others brought in by the previous coach, who then gets the chop, new guy comes in and has little to no room to bring people in they want to.

    We're probably best known as the place rookie coaches come to finish their career before they even start.

    Agree, throw some bigger marquee $ at those players to signal intent if nothing else. This idea of not even looking at marquees sets us back before a ball is kicked. If we don't show ambition, then players with any sort of ability and potential are working on their exit strategies. Ugarkovic's agent has probably already been on the phone to City/WSW/Sydney. I gave Lee the benefit of the doubt to begin with, as I figured he'd want to see where the team was at, and he probably trusted Miller and co. to carry on as they had from the previous season. That all went down the toilet quickly, culminating with the appointment of Phil v2. I daresay Lee is the last chance this club has got to right itself. If he sits by idly over the next 6 months, I think the horse will well and truly bolt for good.

    no couscous, this is exactly the thread to ask this question.
    From my experience the following places have a very high % of perfect white teeth (and fake breasts).
    Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles.

    Most of the rest of the country are average whiteness.

    People from Alabama have no need for teeth.

    I should clarify, I'm not calling for him out just yet. But following yet another defeat these are the things one contemplates...

    I'm going to hold judgment until we get a few injured players back and see how Jones goes. Not sure if any of the coaches around would do well with the current line up. At least Boags and Nabbout to give us some quality.
    I hope he likes prison food.......and penis

    Nor can I, especially with Sydney and Perth in the next two weeks.

    I don't know - I just can't make the jump at this point in time because I know once I make it I don't see myself coming back.

    And that's true to an extent. We were playing poorly with Boogaard, Nabbout in the team as well as out.

    It's certainly the reason i'd be attributing things to at the moment.

    I can't understand why anyone would want to give him more time. Players out of position, shit substitutions, clueless tactical adjustments. Guy is an over-educated hack who doesn't have the faintest idea how to put book knowledge into practice.

    Yep.. Fvck him off.. I agree with all of those examples..

    We go in to games giving teams too much respect (look at the last Sydney game, Arnold was absolutely correct in his post-game talk saying that we were scared sh!tless of them and we set out to sit back and play for a draw... at home..)
    Go two goals down, and then its time to decide to be a part of the game.
    As others have said on here. The first 3 games, he used Miller's formation, team, etc Then through some injuries and formation changes, he has been exposed for the clueless joke that he is..

    Of course they need there teeth in Alabama, Road kill is not as tender as you may think.

    The injuries have been cruel, but there's still been some odd choices. Leaving Uga out, yet playing Hoole consistently. Choosing Koutroumbis-Fyfe and leaving Kanta on the bench. I'm not Kanta's biggest fan but surely he's a better option than either of those 2? Playing Haliti in youth and giving Brennan a start? It's as though Jones is trying way too hard to deviate from the original blueprint that Miller put in, just so he can show that he's running things now - but it's backfiring.

    I think Koutroumbis is quality for an 18 yo. I do agree about Haliti tho, give him a run and send Brennan back to Tassie.

    Kanta is not nor should ever be again an option at CB. He barley scrapes it as a DM

    McKinna OUT.

    He chose Stubbins 2.0 just to make sure the Gypos didn't get the spoon. McKinna and his twitter mates can get back to the centrelink line and stop ruining our club. It was already well ruined before they got here and we don't need help from those scumbags to ruin it some more.
