Yeah that's a beauty to drag out. Even the comment below by some snapper head!!

Hopefully Charles Happell can dig this out and re think his next gem.

Stynes will go down in history as the worst president of an AFL club. He has no business acumen whatsover. He runs a charity for heaven’s sake. Times like this need ruthless cost cuttings, sacking, and solid business acumen.

....wow....wrong much?

He who laughs last !!!!!!!!! :) can hear the Irishman from here lol.

Good thing. ...... Is a good thing he's not one of us !!!

Hooray for Holly........Wooooooodd !!!!!!!!! :)

 

I was only 9, but is he talking about Dean Irving?

What a hack of an article.

Mr Happel must have been a friend of Gardiner, McNamee and co. I do recall that these jokers who were running the club were still rating Melbourne as premiership contenders when they signed on Bailey. And for the unnamed ruckman, who is he? I don't even remember him. Must have had a zero impact at the club.


Wow.

If you read that whole comment by The Good Thing, it is anti-prophetic in almost every aspect.

Are we sure it wasn't written by Freak?

Found him on Facebook. Sent him a message challenging him to recant in a future article.

"This article is doing the rounds on various websites at the moment as a tremendous piece of anti-prohcecy. Any chance of you doing another more positive piece?"

Other clubs can only admire us now! Every dog has their day :lol:

Charles Happless i would call him-this is why i distrust journalists, they write utter rubbish about people and get paid for it.

"Happless 13 days in the Cooler"

Dean Irving would be correct 45, i am pretty sure. Wore number 34 i am remembering.


Its amazing people get so heated about a bit of fluff from Crikey that makes the Hun look legitimate.

BTW, Dean Irving was actually on the Footy Flashbacks tape on 7 before the Melbourne vs Sydney game.

2 years ago I would have seen that and got angry. Seeing it today just made me laugh.

It's called tribal passion Rhino and without it the footy would be a boring place to go.

We should get passionate about defending our club. We should begin to believe we are a great club and demand respect.

Getting into a flap over meaningless articles on a third rate sniping media site like Crikey is really making a pyrrhic stand off the lowest possible base.

This is just so typical of the sh1tstirring humbug that you get from Crikey. They like picking on the most vulnerable - clubs like Melbourne when were down. Happell isn't the only nasty who writes for them and they seem to have a penchant for ignoring the more salient facts when telling their stories.

Of course, Rhino's right. No use getting into a flap about a third rate resort for narcissistic media hacks.

 

I'm not sure anyone is in a 'flap' as such Rhino.

Just a simple serving of humble pie from Bean Dailey and a bit of fun from some Demons who have had to read articles along these lines far too often.

I certainly didn't go home and tell my wife and kids "hey you should read this bullsh!t article from some journo in 2008',but I enjoyed the post here by Bean.

Charlie baby eat your words- MORON..

Well picked up- enjoyed the read..

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
