Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

To some it might be Redleg. But I can understand the confusion of many. The final outcome from the governing body (The AFL) is that we didn't tank and didn't go out to deliberately lose games having considered all the evidence, and I can live with that . But the $500K (third largest AFL fine handed out) and the suspensions of key coaching/managerial staff is damning.

The information from the regular meeting in the vault should never have come to light. That's where the blame should lie in all this.

Four people came forward, and informant among the club allegedly supplied information to Caroline Wilson. Then there was Brock McLean. Our club has had backstabbing snitches with gripes. These people would rather battle for power or bring someone down than see this club prosper in pursuit of a flag. It's virtually unheard of at other powerful AFL clubs.

These are the people who should be in the spotlight. These are the people who are holding this club back now. The Board have been cleared, the CEO was exonerated after all the collated evidence. These people I speak of have Connolly and Bailey's blood on their hands, not to mention a $500K noose around the clubs neck.

Spot on H_T

There is a ways to go in this farce.

Until we rid ourselves of the enemy within we are going nowhere fast.

What happens if these same people ring the gaming commission?

    Given we have been cleared of match fixing there should not be much to fear from the Gaming Commission. The AFL QC said there was nothing to support it in the report. So did ours. No one who works in that area in the club has been cited.

    Decided last night that it is time to move on dc.

    what is done is done there is bugger all I can do about any of it.

    why belong to something that only gives you grief .

    So lets get on with season 2013 and hope for some joy from the MFC.

    Surely it has to be better than 2012 doesnt it?

    I have zero confidence for tomorrow night but hell it has to be better than the last 12 months.

    Id have thought giving your doc your "ring" would be enough

    Wouldnt involve an acronym or you could end up with an 800 page report 18 months of inuendo before being found not guilty but having to outlay $500K

    I am actually expecting us to lose both games tomorrow, but just hope we can show something in game style and endeavour and some hope from the new squad. Although he is only young, I am really looking forward to seeing Hogan.

    Do you consider that one or more of the four informants also supplied information to Caroline Wilson?

    Perhaps that one of those who you describe as "backstabbers" might have encouraged the informants to come forward?

    I think there has to be something about this club that sets it apart from several others who should be investigated for tanking/list management/acting against the interests of the AFL or whatever. I think there are some uber rats around the place and that's what might answer the question.

    Given your earlier appointment DC, I'd be worried about things other than my integrity remaining intact.

    I once had a nightmare about one of "those" examinations. I visualised the doctor entering the room and all I could see were his mits - they were the size of Christmas hams. Traumatic.

    Remember the old schoolyard joke? " Wouldn't know if a tram was up (insert gender distinguishing pronoun) until the conductor rang the bell".

    That is a very old one

    90% of people on here would not know what a conductor was

    In Mykonos they substitute tram for Donkey .

    I didn't know you went to a catholic school BBO?

    BTW ,I applied for the job in Rome because I thought the town had three things going for it.

    1. All roads lead there.(great for traffic)

    2.It wasn't built in a day (unlike Beijing)

    3. When there ,you have to do what they do (which is not very much).

    Put in my application ,just waiting for the puffs of smoke from the blokes in frocks.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
