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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
