This is only a rumour, but it has been confirmed not only by Eddie McGuire but also Andy Maher...that Tim Harrington has decided that the best thing for the Melbourne Football Club going forward is not to enter into any negotiations with any players or player managers till just before the start of the 2013 when Jack Viney will be the only player on the list.

This will give the Club not only room within the Salary Cap to pay Jack a salary equivalent to the GDP of a mid sized Eastern European country but will also stop the speculation and rumour mongering that has been so prevalent in the last couple of months.

When asked for a quote, Tom Scully who has just signed with the new South African franchise that the AFL introduced out of the blue halfway through the 2011 season....said "no comment"....

.....on the coaching front it is believed the MFC is going to give Ron Barassi one more moment in the sun and appoint him coach for the 2012 seeason with Tom Hafey as his fitness coach.....as for the playing list with the success of Daniel Nicholson this season it is believed the club is looking at affiliating with Ricmond Central who are in the 4th Division of the VAFA and the nearest club to the MCG to provide the playing personnel for 2012 until Jack Viney is ready to play...

I have discussed this post with a few ex MFC players, some insiders who are very close to the club, and the cousin of the hairdresser who cuts the hair of the Auntie and cousins of one of the present players and they all agree that this must be true..

    Lacks credibility for two reasons:-

    (1) "they all agree that this must be true" - it would have been more believable had you said "believe that it's 98% true"; and

    (2) The giveaway is the mention of the GDP of East European countries. I have it on good authority that the GDP of most of those countries is now much lower than the AFL salary cap and therefore the claim must be incorrect.

    I'm all for having Hafey as fitness coach. 5am swims in the bay will wake a few up and get them out of their comfort zone.

    No thanks to severe shrinkage.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
