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.

Heard a rumor he's already been offerd 5 million rand a season for 10 years to switch codes by the Stormers

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
