Maybe we should throw some serious coin at Robert Walls. He's a premiership coach.

Just as long as you can guarantee it HITS him !! :)

yeah, a bagful off coppers aimed at the back of his head

he's a [censored]

You can't judge a person by what they do on the sporting field. You can only judge them by what they do off the field.

What about sleeping with a players wife when he was coach? How should that be judged?

Judge as you see fit. It's not on the field (or you'd hope not) so a person's character can be fairly judged with that one IMO

Joyce would have a greater premiership percentage than Walls, so I agree Nasher. Maybe we could have Walls as a General Manager of Football. That way we will get double the premiership coach experience and will be unbeatable.

I want to start up a 'Joycey/Wallsy 2012' movement. Can we do it? Yes we can!!


I was hoping we'd be able to get David Parkin...

Only if Wayne Brittain agrees to be his assistant.

 

Fan, what role would you give Tony Jewell in our most premiershipingest football department ever?

OK, so at the moment we have:

General Manager of Football Operations : Robert Walls

Senior Coach: Allan Joyce

Youth development: David Parkin

TBA: Tony Jewell.


Really disappointed and surprised Malcolm Blight's name hasn't been mentioned in despatches. I'm all on my own on this one.

We could get him on Skype from the Gold Coast Suns board room.

Works for Laidley & Port Adelaide !

may as well chuck in Grant Thomas

he could be the board to FD liason as he gets on well with everyone


These names are great, but what roles would they play in our most premiershipingest football department?

After all, any role that is not filled by a premiership coach would just be another example of the MFC accepting mediocrity.

true, true

time to reactivate the great Barassi? (any role will do)

and then there is the new fitness conditioning coach Tommy do-as-i-do Hafey?

Ok.. Blighty....the "I couldn't give a rat's tossbag" role ? Interchange steward.

Fantastic. In the budgie smugglers (two fly eyes) at 5:30am port phillip bay, out to the buoy and back, followed by 200 push-ups, 200 sit-ups, daily.

Lost all respect for Leigh Matthews when as 16 year old i went to Princess Park to see us play the Hawks and Steve Smith (in a master move from Barass - i think he was coaching) was giving him an absolute bath. The ball 30 metres away, Smith had thumped the ball away from Matthews for the umpteenth time and LM round armed him knocking him out. He had no chance, never saw it coming and had to be carried from the ground.

Couldn't beat him fairly so king hit him. Don't believe the rubbish about the era etc etc. Dog's act pure and simple. Never saw Robbie do anything remotely similar (or Keith Greig, Wilson, Brian Wood, Greg Wells and any number of other top players)

Sounds like exactly the type of bloke we need involved with our club. Will do anything, absolutely anything to win, and has unbelievable talent. A modern Leigh Matthews is exactly what we need in players and coach. Maybe Leigh Matthews himself still has it in him?

Perhaps complaining to the umpire and dobbing an opposition player in for saying something mean about your mum will get us to a flag...

If my memory serves me right Rhino Richards had his best game for the club and we won the game (i could be wrong about that).

What about racial abuse, if it is the name of winning is that ok too?

Depends what you mean by "ok"...

I wouldn't racially abuse someone on a footy field, nor would I talk about raping a player's mother. Neither are nice things to say. But if it's on a football field and it's something said between players it's just one of those things that can, will and does happen.

You're a [censored] if you do it but they don't hand out four points for being nice, do they?

I think abuse is abuse. You can draw lines between talk of raping a player's mother, killing someone, and racial abuse if you want.

I don't know about anyone else here but LM is the kind of guy I would do almost anything to gain football respect from. I think that speaks volumes.

I agree Mr T.

But the conserves spread around here will toe whatever company line they can find.

They don't trust anyone who's Too strong, and Not from the within the fabric.

2008 Bailey - Essendon, 1998 Daniher - Essendon, 1993 Balme - Richmond, 1986 Northey - Richmond, we haven't had a coach from "within the fabric" since Barassi left at the end of 1985 - that's 4 coaches over 26 seasons. Why do you persist with the bullsh1t "class warfare".

Richmond, Richmond, Essendon, Essendon. I think you may've just gotten to the bottom of the problem.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
