Nup. It's for the money and the money only.

and Ive got absolutely no real problem with that as far as it goes. His life..his job.. his income. No problem.

Its all the rest Ive issue with.:huh:

But..... its nearly there....we can soon get on with a more unified approach to supporting Melbourne :)

add.

I wont be grieving personally.. I actually see it as a fresh chance to get value out of the pick.. Thats Pick 1 two goes ago. I think in essence we were totally dudded but we might come out of this ok in the end.

Yep, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of ignorance there is when it comes to perceptions of Sydney's western suburbs; for example, this whole Blacktown/Falafel connection (saw it used in here a few pages back)... apart from the racist overtones, I think when Eddie said it, he was probably confusing Blacktown with Bankstown (where there is a large mid-eastern population), yet people still persist with it here. Go figure.

hardtack, people are persisting with the Eddie/Blacktown/Falafel connection not because its true but its fun to take the pizz out of the TS thread saga which would have to be one of Demonland's worst most boring threads ever

If you didn't catch-on then you need to ramp up your sarcasm detector

Think about the players that have gone to GWS so far, two come from clubs that have lost or sacked their coaches and one from a club that seems to no longer need him and then you have Scully. Any decent player from any decent club has told them to [censored] off.

And amongst all of this Trengove signed on for another 4 years...

Yeah but Trengove comes from South Australia - he would have signed on with the Baghdad Beavers for another four years.

You're right DC... I made that comment with a vague recollection of the falafel reference but forgot the context. My mistake and apologies.

Even if that sweeping generalisation was true, it doesn't mean that EVERY SINGLE THING the club does is crap - which is the picture that the woebegones paint.

"on the most part"

Nathan Jones just said on 3aw that he saw Tom at the club today and Gerard said Tom has changed his travel plans to attend our B & F.

Clutching @ straws aren't we :unsure:

He should have done it already. He's seriously taking the [censored] if he thinks that anyone actually believes that he's still making up his mind. Personally I think it's been a done deal since last October. The guy's used us for match practice for the season, he knows, the AFL knows, the club knows it. Worst of all the crazy old man and grubby allan know it. The fact that he's still riding us this hard a week after the season finished really sh*ts me.

If he was "gawn" why turn up at the B & F. Be rubbing salt into a very nasty wound. Surely every man and his dog will be asking the question that he doesn't want to answer, yet.

Rischitelli (sp?) turned up to B&F last year......AND won the bloody thing!


Will be very interested to see what they say on the Footy Show tonight. I wonder how many times Barrett will say he's signed and we will find out tomorrow?

I'm glad to see you think things are going smoothly, you're the supporter we require at melbourne the most; compliant.

I am gutted as everyone else here that we haven't jumped forward as quick as some expected, but lets not kid ourselves that we are as bad off as we were in 2007. All your doing is increasing the clouds of doom hanging over the club. Dannihers lack of turning over the list and Craig Camerons recruiting options, left our list in dire need of a rebuild which started under Dean and the young guys got exposed with greater responsibility this season. The benefits of which will be evident in the seasons to come.

Our young guys are just like the Eagles kids in fact I think they are better, they mirrored us from 08-10 and have jumped up this year. We don't have Cox, Kennedy, Kerr & Glass. If we had those older bigger bodies things would be different but we have the list we have and will move forward with our without Scully as the case appears to be.

Have no idea if its true and no source to back things up but just saw this on BF opsted by a western syd supporter.

"Yep congratulations are in order to you guy's I have just heard on very good authority, from someone from gws he has turned down the gws offer. I don't know when this will be confirmed but gws were hoping to have a presser on tuesday but were informed at 4.30 this afternoon that he will not be taking up the offer. I can see the egg on faces now, anyway congratulations if that's the young man's wishes I respect him"

Might be rubbish...might not be.

fingers crossed

might as well take that down mate. that guy has a poor reputation for spreading rumours that are not true.


What happens if Tom re-signs with MFC for 12 months?

Can we repeat all this 'fun' again next year? :wacko:

pay that.


I just feel that if it were to be on The Footy Show, they'd have promoted it.

OMG! Did you hear they are shutting the whole Board down..ohmy.gif

Congrats Peeps...weve already blitzed August's effort ..all in only 8 days. Good work all :)

now back to the waffle

 

There was another post on that BF forum as well, that went as follows (again, bucket of salt material):

"Just wanted to chime in,

Heard on Monday that Tom will be re-signing with Melbourne. (Will be a 1-2 Year Contract)

Again, it could be totally wrong and I hope for you guys that it isn't, but this year I have had a 100% strike rate with re-signings and the same source has told me this rumour aswell.

Fingers crossed for you guys, and hope the drum beats louder for Tom staying."

Not sure Tom would sign a 1-2 year desk when both MFC and GWS are offering 4-5 year contracts

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
