I'm not particularly worried. A few thoughts;

Not sure if those are correct but if true we have plenty of wiggle room, though its hard to say for sure with frontend/backended contracts.
2. We've been poor the last couple of years, we should...
I'm a bit concerned that we recasted Reilly as a HBF, when its the logical place to trial a lot of the young players. The Reilly/Johncock/Doughty logjam, all of whom apparently can't be dropped, ever, needs to be broken up or we're just wasting time (sub/drop/rotate/move, whatever.)
A lot of...
He coaches the players that kick the points. He doesn't delist the ones that seemingly are never upto it. Sorry to pick on you but you seem relentlessly positive when our club needs massive, massive change.
rofl, you're joking right? Essendon NEVER win at AAMI and are a very mediocre football team. We were 36 (should be 42+) in front, and never even looked like it in the second half. If they can't run out a game of football, who is to blame? Someone ffs.
I think most teams who win the Grand Final have overcome some sort of adversity.. Even us in 97, no Modra, Roo. You need some luck yes, but good coaches and teams make their own luck.
We probably shouldn't have dropped Vince or Douglas given who we have to replace them.
Given that, I'd probably have made Vince a sub for the week he was dropped to SANFL and hoped that gave him the necessary pride dent to lift his game, with out overly punishing the team.
Re: That's it, I'm out. Sack Craig.
Petrenko did a long flat kick to the advantage of our player in the forward 50.
A Crow's cardinal sin. Expect him to be dropped next week.
He'll still be at the club anyway as a member of staff.
That said, equating this to the work force, having a boss you 'love' is not necessarily the boss that gets the most out of you. Different people respond to different things.
We don't pick players under the right criteria. Years ago Malthouse said he picks his team based on who does well in big games (fortunately Collingwood have a lot of these.)
He trades out down hill skiers and those that can't take the pressure while they have currency and rolls the dice again...
Couldn't find this anywhere but according to afl.com Vince was reported for wrestling McVeigh

Bad news :( I was there live and there didn't seem to be much in it though..
