Humble Pie

[Hulett Packard III 166]

Reading this article this morning raised more chuckles than it did when I first read it:

CHAIRMAN JIM STYNES PUTS THE HOLLYWOOD BACK INTO MELBOURNE

Eat your heart out Charles Happell B)

[No16 1]

Wow, well dug up!

[Red Sox 2]

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?

Is old Happell still writing...obviously doesn't understand how clubs work..

[H_T 3,042]

I see I'va gave him a serve.

[45HG 1,539]

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

What a hack of an article.

[John Crow Batty 8,832]

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?

[jabberwocky 2,301]

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

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

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.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

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

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Hillarious.

Well who has egg on their face now!

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.

[Deeman 1,479]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,786]

Never heard of the site and or that writer.

Muppet of epic proportions!

[Red Sox 2]

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.
