Actually that's not what I said in my post. You should go back and read it again, only this time read what it actually says not what you think it says. I said I would check back in 10 years time to see if your club had made any progress on the things I mentioned (good luck with those btw). I don't recall saying I wouldn't be back to talk about other things in the meantime. There is a difference, although I accept that perhaps the difference is too subtle for someone of your intellect to comprehend.

Not wanting to stick my nose in where it is not appreciated, but I'd like to talk about Des Headland.
I notice alot of your posters feel that he is as good at your club as he was during 2002 at the Lions?
Any substance to this? He definately shows signs of pulling it all together and finishing in the top 6 of the Brownlow, but his consistency is still somewhat lacking in my opinion.
He can be a bit of a barometer for your team, as when he is in full flight, he tends to drag many players with him and it can be a delight to watch. But there are times that you just wish he'd lift his workrate and impose himself more often, maybe its just me, but I still just think you've probably only seen 80-85% of what Des ever offered for us.
I am in no way saying that he is a crap player or anything, in fact, I disagree with that sentiment. I just feel that he is frustratingly close to knocking down the door and becoming elite, but he is just not quite there yet.

I agree with what you're saying, but you gotta remember the quality of the Lions team in 2002, he got a free run at it with the likes of Voss, Lappin, Aker, Black, getting all the attention. He needs to show more consistency but it is kind of unfair to forever compare his form to 2002.

Undoubtedly, and it will forever hinder him in the minds of many. It is unfair to judge totally in comparison to that stellar season.
But given the huge potential he had and what he had shown up until that day, I still think he is short of what he should have achieved, and whilst I agree its unfair to suggest he has gone backwards, I wouldn't be immediately saying he has kept the status quo either.
For mine he has slightly gone backwards, but I'd be happy for him to prove me wrong this season.
Started very, very well this year but keeps getting bagged by people who don't watch the games closely enough

It's one thing to start a season well. Over his 5 seasons (this being his 6th) with the Dockers, he has had his fair share of tremendous games, and even some dazzling runs of form.
I don't know, perhaps I judge Des too hard, but I had him marked as an elite footballer, who'd be a Top 10 footballer for a fair few seasons. Possibly I expected too much. Maybe thats because he had the one huge season while sharing a midfield with the Fab Five. But if thats the case, then surely you as supporters would expect him to either blossom into something even bigger and better, or expect the rest of the midfielders to lift to make life easier for him.

Was playing quite well last year too.
Can only keep doing what he's doing. Over 50 possession in 2 weeks

For sure, he could have his best season yet this season hopefully, I will always be a hard marker on ex-Lions players. I think it would be disappointing for the entire comp if we didn't see Des improve on what he showed at the Lions.
He's done well and we haven't been winning.
if he keeps the effort up as high as it has been, when we get on a roll, he's going to be something special.
This week for instance.
Actually, against a slow Eagles midfield this could very well be the week.
I would put Stenglein on him if I was Woosa

____ing hell how hard is it to do a bit of research
simmonds and bell the only improvers?
he is a troll

His best work was at the ABC.
He needs to get back to the basics and do what he does best, calling the game.
You'd have to satart questioning the recruitment policies of these commercial networks.
After all, how many ex-ABC journalists and commentators have improved since they went commercial?
I can't even think of two or three.

You obviously have very low standards. Yes he WAS superb, but has been on the slide for a number of years.
Once he left Aunty for the pot of money at 7, the slide began.
