Our leaders efforts last year were not good enough. If they had retained there positions i would have been very disappointed. A Statement has been made. The coach will live by his sword and his alone.

 

Is that a serious question? I was just pointing out that we will have some unhappy players in the group. If that unhappiness manifests itself in form or attitude or behaviour it will need addressing, that is my point.

And I was just pointing out that whatever the choice the club makes, someone will feel disappointed at missing out. I agree ... you make the decision, then the fallout depends on how you deal with the disappointments, and the maturity of the players.

Maybe some players will appreciate the ability just to concentrate on their football and not be burdened with responsibility ... even past leaders. It's not all negative for the non-leaders.

Don't forget Flash, who carries the indigenous leadership hopes and was suggested by many to be Captain last year.

Redleg I think Davey is at the end.

his injury list is mounting.

He has slowed a little and that was his big strength.

give him a hard tag and he is useless.

I hope I am wrong but I see him spending a lot of time at Casey this year.

Sadly I tend to agree. Hope I am wrong also.

Davey needs a new role...all players lose speed. He may have 2-3 years left if he can adapt.


I think Flash will be back .

Misson impossible will fix it .

We all have bad years .

Ours are over .

Keep faith.

Love yous all

Cant beleive the good decisions we keep making as I read from Cambodia .

Love yous all .

I think our premiership success does not depend on the happiness of Green, Davey, Rivers and Moloney.

But we won't win a flag without Grimes, Trengove, Frawley and Garland.

Footy is like any other competitive industry, people lose out, people get fired, and people have to put up with it.

The players who are no longer in the leadership group have clearly done something wrong. Jones and Grimes made it through 2011 because they displayed outstanding leadership in tough times. The other 4, didn't.

A small forward role beckons if he is up to it. The ball is squarely in Flash's court to earn it .......... which is exactly how it should be!

I agree. Grabbing it off the pack and kicking the snap goal was his start. Hopefully he still has that ability.

Does anyone know what Davey's injury is?

He has had a few leg injuries over the last 3 years.

Made a spelling mistake thought I had better correct it before BH got on to me.

No it was not Davey

Is it just me or is anyone else over the summer sports already?

I could not care less who wins the cricket one day games.

Melb. Tigers are hopeless

Tennis is gone

GP is months away

"A" league nah like watching grass grow

Perhaps the horses Redleg?

I should be the last person wishing my life away but the footy cannot come quick enough for me.

Couldn't agree more O.D. The Cricket has been dull as dish water this summer, no offence to the Australians but India wanted to go home very early (Tanking for what!!)

Bring on the Sherrin...

went to the T20 last night; as Marsh trudged off after his 2 ball duck my 7 year old leant over and said " dad...Marsh is in a world of pain" loved it, totally unprompted and on the money. He is like Chappell G without the superb career that had gone before.

Kids are sharper than a machete these days. When i visit my nephews and niece it is an absolute pleasure.

On that basis OD, I should be the second last person to be wishing my life away, but I'm with you 100% old fella! I think I even detect a hint of anticipation / excitement in your post about the coming season, which is great to see.

Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

Yes there is a little creeping in Deeoldfart.

Usually starts around this time of the year.

Based on past disasters I try and keep a lid on it

By May I am usually well and truely depressed.

Perhaps a change this year????

He is lucky he does not come from Victoria or he would have been dropped a month ago.

Then again if he was from NSW he would have another 3 months to go.


Anyone notice the article in todays Hun about which team has the hardest draw?

Well, guess what according to the Article the Dees have the easiest.

It is based on which teams you play twice and travel.

So we had better have a reasonable year.

Considering the MFC travels more than any other victorian side..that article is a complete waste of time O.D. what a beat up/

I am confident we have had this discussion before wyl.

The travel thing IMO is grossly over played.

WCE travel a lot more than other teams .

When they have had good sides they win flags.

When they have had not so good sides they do not.

Just an excuse for poor results.

End of the story for me.

Possibly...but the MFC doesn't have the easiest draw in the season...that is a lie.

i still expect finals this year.

How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
