I noticed that Gary Lyon has $11 odds to couch next year. I also recall Lyon saying he spoke to Tom regularly. Wonder if Tom will stay next year with Gary as coach.

Probably connecting dots that shouldn't be connected, but this thread is famed for that so why not :)

Garry will never coach and I don't think most people would want him to anyhow. Maybe 6 or 8 years ago but the moment's past.

 

I certainly wouldn't totally put it out of the question. Bookmakers don't put odds on possible new coaches without some inside information. Probably unlikely, but not out of the question in my opinion.

Absolutely out of the question.

When Malthouse stated on Thursday's Footy Show that "if you're out of the game for a year you're dead in the water", Gary was the first to chime and agree with him. He's also categorically stated multiple times this year he'll never coach Melbourne. Won't happen.
 

Like I said, very unlikely but I am not 100% convinced.

By way, I thought RFPC was the eternal optimist around here, but you have Melbourne down for three premierships in the next 8 years, wow!

I wish Tom revelled in girls and fame (but not money). He would definitely stay in Melbourne if that were the case.

2014 - 2020. We can do it!

I think these 3rd party agreements are a joke anyway and shouldn't be allowed. But the facts are they are allowed, at least 114 players in the league have them and the only clubs that don't are us and North. Now that we want to use a 3rd party agreement for one of our players the rules have suddenly been "tightened".

TS already has a third party agreement possible two and I think a few players and north have them always so I think you might be wrong on that point.

I think they have only caught up once but said here my number if you need to talk to someone away from the club. Gary told Tom he won't be coaching he earns more now and has less stress. He said senior coaches live and breath football every second of the day and he admires their commitment but thats not him.
 

This is wrong ... The AFL changed nothing. Sorry you have got your facts wrong here. So from that spot I stopped reading ... just sounds like an anti-AFL rant.

The facts are the AFL agreed to the changes the committee recommended .... massive, massive difference.

HO suggest you read post 17 of GWS topic. Maybe AFL didnt change the rules they just didnt listen to the Committee. I couldn't give a rats..... if you stopped reading. As far as rants go you are not the only one allowed to rant but at least my rants are to the point whereas yours are unreadable, with a lot of innuendo so really they say nothing. Ha another rant :blink:


I thought it was us that made the request, think the Tigers also made noises ... not the committee! Do you have a link?

So I thought it was the opposite ... the AFL did not ignore the request of the List Management Committee ... they accepted the changes the committee requested.

Article

Read this to the end and a few of the committee have said they were told not consulted

hahaha ... think you should read the real story not the John Ralph beat-up ... written 12 months later

"Several members of that committee confirmed they tried to protect second-year players, but the idea was deemed inappropriate."

The committee never put the suggestion forward, it would never have got up at the committee stage. Why? Other AFL clubs would have seen thru it in seconds. Why pick an arbitary 2 years ... why not 4? why not 6?

As I said above a few clubs had a few minor mutterings think it was March who was the most vocal, but was generally dismissed on the view they has no rep on the committee .... but they all (clubs) signed it off. .... answer YES Did the voice their objections there and then? ... answer NO B)

I can see why you dont read ... ah then you dont get the facts ... instead prefer to believe Ralphs beat-up. Wonder why they wanted to distance themselves 12 months latter ??

Get your facts right ... but hey I've said it 100 times ... you are not alone around here. :)

Two years isn't arbitrary at all. Drafted players are given a mandatory 2year contract as a minimum. The goal was to protect these players - who have only played two seasons as they should have since being drafted.


Wasn't in the circle singing the club song after the win. Did anyone else notice this?

Yep, already on the plane to Western Sydney. Or maybe just getting treatment in the rooms on his injured shoulder, while the boys sang the song in the cool room :rolleyes:

Unless you're totally incapacitated, you get in there and sing the club song with the boys!

Oh FFS, they sang it straight away, and I doubt anyone ran into the rooms to tell him to stop his treatment, run up and sing the song. Seriously!

Stop reading so much into everything. If Watts or Trengove were in the same situation nobody would even mention it. I just hope Scully isn't too badly hurt.

We just explained it clearly to you - it's because he's gone. Don't you get it?

Cheers thanks Nash for clearing it up.

Give it a rest and go and check under your bed... I heard there may be some reds under it.

I enjoyed it EGD. Gutsy effort in crap conditions.

I'm not the only one asking the question re Scully.

I've seen guys with knee recos, concussion, broken bones make it to the circle for the song. It is slightly strange. The only excuse for it is if he's left the ground for x rays or something.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
