Tom Scully in September ...

No hope in the foreseeable future.

I'll put that down to an emotional outburst.

No emotional outburst, just the stark reality that we have more holes in our playing list than the SS Titanic.

You'll come to realise that one day.

 

All that shows is that the club doesn't know what he's doing, not that he hasn't made a decision.

That may be the case, but the journalists have no solid idea either...i am sure the club knows more than all of them put together.

I have come to the realisation now that you are a lost cause. You bleat and whinge about everything possible but are noticably absent when you are asked to back up your statements or facts are produced that contradict you. Your posts are so ridiculously over the top pessimistic I actually feel sorry for you and hope it is not a reflection of your life as a whole.

Disappointing season yes.

Step backwards yes.

The MFC world according to RobbieF has ended. There is no hope. We will wither up and die.

Spare all of us please Robbie.

Ive personally thought this decision is quite old now. I also have a sneaking suspicion the CLub knows in most ways but the formality. I suspect the Club now is saying..lets get on with it. We all have to move forward..yadda yadda yadda.

I await tomorrows presser

of course..just my opinion :lol:

Quite possibly true, but the average footy journalist has been writing mere speculation all year.

The results of this year speak for me, the state of the team speaks for me and the idiotic following of the company line annoys me. Reality check time.

Which of our recruits are going to be A grade players? Maybe Trengove possibly Watts

You tell me which of the recruits we have that you consider to be future stars or maybe B+?

We have a bunch of kids that are in reality honest triers and that's about it.

 

Monday 5 /9 = End Game :huh:

This is your problem. You want a team of stars rather than a star team.

Players train and play the way they have been drilled. If you cannot see that much of this seasons problems came down to bad years for our senior players and a poor game plan the you are truly blind.

Give me a coach who has a game plan that does not collapse under the slightest hint of pressure and who can instill a harder edge on the young blokes and you will see a vastly different outfit.

We have neither and as for a game plan if the players you have are as weak minded as those we currently have then no matter what the game plan it will fail if the players give up without a whelp then you are stuffed and these are the players we have.

Bailey complained all year that the players wouldn't follow instructions so what's the point of a plan?

The right coaching panel and Football department requirements will fix up this list i have no doubt.

2011 was a year of treading water sadly, but i am still confident behind the scenes the right coach will be found.

If we were still 6-7 $mill in debt then i would be worried, but that is not a problem now.

A very busy summer awaits the entire MFC.

Good luck next year boys... this was just a warm up for us before Tom lead us into a purple patch!!

Haha you're right it seems I've mixed my "honest President" metaphors.

A quick Google search had me coming up with this though ...

"The 'never told a lie' saying is attributed to George Washington, though he probably never actually said it. The whole "Honest Abe" thing could have come from a story about how Abe walked several miles to give change to a customer that overpaid him at his general store. Both are likely myths created to make heroes out of our national figures. George Washington was virtually deified by the early Americans for what he did to win our independence. Lincoln was the savior of the Union and the liberator of the slaves. It would make sense that people would create stories that demonstrate important moral values. If people see that these heroes have these attributes, they may try to emulate them. It becomes difficult to come back years later and try to construct a relatively objective history when one has to sift through all the myths and exaggerations."

I think it actually serves the point I was trying to make quite well about the human tendency to creating myths and exaggerate qualities in our heroes.

Let's face it ... Superman in a Demon guernsey is what we all long to see in our heart of hearts.

I could say the same thing about your seemingly endless trust of sports journos...and David effing Schwarz...

I believed an impressive 20 year old didn't sign a contract last October. I still believe that Demon.

Whether he stays a Demon I don't know. I guess we will find out soon enough, and we can end this dance.

We didn't tread water we nearly drowned and would have if there were any more games left in the season, we were "saved by the bell" so to speak.

The debt issue has left us complacent and we've only completed half the job, we just thought the rest would fall in to place well it doesn't work like that. BTW I'm still looking for the eggshell I'm supposed to be putting over my head.

Nah, if he leaves, especially if an announcement is made this week, the deal was done long ago.

certain irony ...#31... 31 games :huh: Brownlow votes 3 ..pick 1 :o

finis

We all read the situation differently.

I don't think he has signed anything yet. My signatures tells you what I think.


Perth radio reported today that there will be an announcement tomorrow.

I think it might have been Kim Hughes... Say no more.

Are some posters telling me that if some one offered you 2 to 3 times your regular pay for 5 years and this amount was reported in all the newspapers and was most likley relaied to some one in your management circle. (if it wasnt it would be a first).

You would not know about it before the year end. If tom didnt know what his offer was by mid season he must be one focused individual.

Is tom that confident in his skills that he wouldnt even chat to the people making that offer and risk them withdrawing or heading elsewhere.

This fairytale story that he wants to repay the faith and feel obligated to take a pay cut to stay at a team that is strugiling both on and off the feild just doenst have legs.

Money does strange things to people and for a second year player to be offered one of the best pay packets in the competition and he isnt interested he just wants to focus on a team that is going to finish 8th at best is narrow minded and im sure tom is planning more that 6 months most people will.

Sorry guys $cully has left the building.

Only the naive would belive other wise, and for those that do beleive him I hear there is a nygerian king who needs help in getting money out of the country all he needs is your bank details.

No doubt, the pendulum of exaggeration swings both ways.

My trust of sports journos isn't endless. That's an exaggeration on your part right there. I just think they got this particular story right.

But for sure I wouldn't have been so forthright had the Ox not been so unequivocal on air and on Twitter.

What is your beef with him?

Beef?

I trust a 19 year olds word over the unnamed voices in Schwarz's ear.

Sue me.

Over and out.

See y'all when a decision is made.

Something of interest. This time last year the rumours were everywhere that GCS couldn't wait to hold a press conference to announce GA, this year there's been nothing...so far.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
