Golly that's a tough question. Like this one...

Lets suppose thes is one club, the MFC

MFC - short term contract till November.

Which would you take?

But I have a job now in SA

I hope we get him

I think he is good at his job

and it would stick it to his AFL nemesis

    Correct me if I wrong but I thought we had offered the Pies guy the job and had to wait till his contract with Collingwood expired in October!

    We cannot afford to wait until October - we need to get on with 2013 planning right now, and it looks as is we are likely to know quite soon which picks we will have.

    I know a little about Matt and he is a nice guy and easy to get along with but most importantly has a track record of good draft selections. We would be remiss not to speak to him, especially considering our current list and the angst over many of our draft selections of the last few drafts.

    Definitely need a guy with a proven track record.

    Not only Craig, but our "recruitment manager" Todd Viney worked with Rendell for a couple of years too. Maybe he could "consult" to us for this year.

    Well they as a team did a bloody good job, so reunite them asap.

    It would've been PR poison five minutes after he got the flick. The AFL would've blown a gasket as well. Plenty has happened since then - the guy who killed him commiting credibility suicide being one - and time heals all wounds and all that.

    Yes, but that was always the contention.

    Not straight away, as time heals, but this year it would be prudent.

    And behind closed doors, there's nothing to have stopped us talking to him soon after the "incident."

    Just announced as new head of recruiting at the Filth.

    G Walsh to move on, apparently.

    Unless he has at least one indigenous parent ,we shouldn't even consider him.

    (Just my private thoughts said hypothetically)

    Geoff Walsh is "Director of Football", Derek Hine is "National Recruiting Manager".

    Sounds like a big staff change-up or a half-baked rumour.

    Rendell did say he was keen to get out of recruiting - he could easily go down the Director of Football path.

    But what the hell does Eade do then?

    Nothing on Collingwood website either...

    Yes, I hope it works like that. That would be advantageous.

    And Eddie will try and spin it to make it look like they weren't being bitter little sh!ts at us poaching their staff...

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
