I like Rhino's posts.

He is good at holding you and me to account for what we say. He is a good "crap" detector ... which was a term coined by Neil Postman way back in the late 1960s. Postman's main sources of "crap" were pomposity, fanaticism, superstition and inanity. In this internet age, where we tend to write instantaneously without thinking, a lot of us could do worse than using it.

I noticed Neeld's response to Eddie McGuire:

"I don’t know if it’s been blown out of proportion, because I don’t know about Eddie’s comments,” he said.

“Eddie is very passionate about Collingwood, and he was great and fantastic to me while I worked at Collingwood. And our guys are passionate about Melbourne, and that’s the way it goes.

“If there are positions that need to be filled at clubs and people want those positions, then that’s the way it goes.

“Every industry is filled with people who are at certain levels in companies and then move companies to get to a higher level, and I don’t think that’s unique to the footy world.”

No "crap" there, and a better response than getting all offended and wringing hands (in my opinion).

So you are saying it was a good reasoned no-crap response to Eddie's emotional irrational crap statements.

Fair enough

It will be terrific until Collingwood decide that the Queen's Birthday game should be shared.

Yeh, lets roll over like North did with the jumper. Make us all feel proud to be supporters.

Maybe, just maybe, taking a stand and not behaving like the whipping boys will bring us more success than letting people kick sand in our faces.

Maguire can stick the QB up his fat arse for all I care. If we lift our game we'll play Collingwood twice each year anyway.

Interesting term that.

Football is a very emotional issue for most on here so I guess that during the course of the year we can expect a lot of it.

Over the years the MFC and it's supporters have copped more crap than probably all the other clubs combined and I would guess that most on here would agree that enough is enough, so if some want to wring their hands over this latest outburst I don't really blame them; do you?

We could just sit back with our hands in our laps, but that would be more like the expected response from the [censored] weak MFC supporters.

So did Jeffrey Kennett (taking jobs). Never really gave either of them respect, and see one as a south park character (Eddie), and the other upstairs at Downtown Abbey. I love our classless society and look forward to the Dees raiding the premiership cup soon. In the mean time I will enjoy the sooks continue their crap

In the HUN today.

"Demons Sticking to their Guns"

McLardy said the club would continue to do "Whatever it takes" to be successful and are unrepentant in their pusuit of Jason Taylor.

At long last we are baring our teeth off field.

This is the Change in culture We've been after. Hoping it translates to the same change in culture on the ground.

I still can't work out what this is all about - talking to an Assistant Recruiting Manager ??????

Neeld was appointed Senior Coach ( and released with Malthouse's endorsement - no different to Sanderson, Watters, Brad Scott etc etc etc )

Leigh Brown was a retired player

Who else ?????

What a joke !

Typical bullyboy McGuire - must be channeling Bernie Edcclestone - must be undercurrents at Pieland

Terrible luck they seem to be having .

Must be the smell of a fish rotting at the head .

What kind of a fat fool sacks a premiership coach before his next season?

Just ridiculous .

Can't wait for the QB game .

Bodycount!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
