King for a day

Recommended Posts

If I were king for a day, I would do the following,

Elect Gerard Healy as president.

Todd viney as vice president

Greg healer as CEO

Mick malthouse as coach

Neeld as assistant coach

Ratten as midfield coach

Mission as fitness coach

B Lovett as backline coach

L. Brown as forward coach

Garry Lyon and Schwartz, our accomplished and proven voicepieces.

Intelligent passionate fearless winners.

We wear red and blue, we own the mcg, our heart is at the core of the games roots.

We were the pioneers, the first of the first.

We borrowed the game from our indigenous brethren,

Together we sweat blood on the old yarra mud, we wear the southern cross on our emblem.

We thank all that has been loyal before us,

For we are the tribe that are driven to hold the cup of gold over our home.

And keep it there.

So .... you'd appoint the "poor tradesman who blames his tools" (Neeld), the guy you've been ragging out on in ever second thread, as the club's assistant coach.

You are a goose. Nothing more needs be said.

Have Faith No More play at the grand final both pregame and half time as the Dees win the flag in 4 years time.

More likely Mike Patton would show up with Mr Bungle or Tomahawk.

Still, it's a good idea and even half of Faith No More would be better than Meatloaf if only in sound not size.

Faith No More at the GF!!

Awesome!

Such a rocking band!

Mike Patton is the best voice I have heard & can sing pretty much any genre & loud.

Must admit I was surprised to see the original from Ton as well.

But Goose he may be and arent we all at some stage but this does reflect a more positive attitude from Ton

We need to show some tolerance when there is a softening of bile so lets just like it and hope the mood continues.

I think its also Ok to criricise one performance eg as coach and support a different role Eg asst so maybe the softening is only in my interpretation. Hope not and look forward to many more likes.

If Bungle reunited I could die happy.

Fantomas doing Delirium Cordia would be better than Meatloaf.

if i were king for a day id remove the playing group salary cap and replace it with a (large) football department one.

included in it would be the following

coaches

players

scouts/recruiters

football equipment

(facilities and their running costs - electricity etc - would NOT be included in this)

discuss

Actually, I think Gerard is the most intelligent bloke in the football media. Not loyal, but neither was barrassi, however, he would be a fine president indeed.

Nb. It is good to have a president in the media. Expanding the supporter and advertising network.

Lyon would have been good if he wasn't an ego maniac.

Pray tell, what is your criteria for a 'fine president'?

Not wearing a mankini on On The Couch?

Can we have their coach and CEO as well? Would be much better than appointing a bunch of retired Melbourne players out of misguided sentimentality.

Yeah - it's not like their coach played for Melbourne or anything.

I rate Clarkson as the best coach in the league, but wouldn't want to turn this into another Neeld bashing.

3AW every night. I listen to it on the way home. Very rarely do I disagree with Gerard, he is balanced, intelligent, fearless and he loves footy. Its just a matter of how much he loves the MFC.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
