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.

    • 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.
