On the Couch - Brock talks about 'tanking'


jumbo returns

Recommended Posts

I am a powerbroker of the MFC. A Chief Lord of the Cybernetic Demonverse.

It's funny, when i first joined Demonland i did think once or twice that you could have been a club official trying to sway the opinion of the masses towards the clubs point of view! But Powerbroker? Thats is overstating it!

Paul Roos is disgusted because his team got flogged by a record margin by Melbourne when he was still coaching.

Just shows how good the Swans were that year or were they gambling on a 100 point thrashing by Melourne at 50-1?

Sh!t ain't black and white - live a little, you find that out.

At least it is a releif she is not. Impossible to live with. Glad I found that out.

And you must be a public servant if you earn 80k at a desk. Only they could earn that much and still be able post non stop 9 to 5.

Uh, 6.15 and still posting...

And you don't get the $80k desk joke?

Ok.

Funny, but ok.

Maybe a not so good public servant but a very dedicated poster. I would advise against a career in comedy though.

To me it looks as if vlad and co are coming out strong but are preparing to do nothing. They can't be perceived to not care about tanking but there isn't much they can do in trying to prove it has been done its a bit like the tough guys I see at crown on occasion they look big and scary but can't throw a punch to save themselves

No, it's funny.

You just don't know why though.

Which I think is funny in itself.

Well glad that you are laughing with yourself. I don't really care what you do but if you are an MFC spin jockey your boss should be proud of you. Have to go now, too many plots to thicken, webs to weave and conspiracies to hatch. Supporting this club is such a drudge.

Then why do you?

I don't think I've ever seen you post anything positive on this site, ever, so why do you bother?

Do you actually support Melbourne; are you a member? Or do you come on here just to get your jollies off arguing with anyone that will take the bait?

Since I have been on this forum, I have seen this club go from bad to pathetic to near hopeless. I am sick of the garbage we have had to put up on and off the field. I will continue to voice my displease. If you read my posts from earlier 2010 I was a most even tempered hopeful supporter until I saw all the crap that was being dished up.. I won't change until I see positive changes happening. Hopefully not too long away. I don't give a rats what you think.

If you have a problem then address it to the club because, like you, I don't give a rat's what you think, and I reckon that goes for a lot of other posters on here.

You're typical of the whingers that never tell the people that they have the problem with and prefer to scream at the wind; which by the way couldn't give a rat's either.

I await the day the club can claim to have regained genuine respect in the football world. I have a made a lot of right calls on how we are traveling over the past year or so and copped a lot flack from guys like you that just cannot accept the truth but want to believe in fantasies.

I think you're the one that believes in fantasies if you think you're some sort of Messiah and you're the only one that can see we have problems. In case it's slipped your notice we're third last, so I would imagine that's it's clear to even the most optimistic that we're not travelling well.

We haven't recruited well and what we have recruited hasn't been developed, but I think that's also clear, so where do you think the fantasies are?

Which are these right calls you've made, enlighten me?

BTW have you passed your wisdom on to the Club or have you just shared it with us?

well don't. You will not be missed.

I've read "Longsufferings" and other posts that insinuate conspiracy theories. Am I the only one that is just taking these circumstances on face value ? McLean kicks the winning goal for Carlton in a highly publicized game and gets invited onto OTC. Naturally his time at Melbourne is discussed, as well as his decision to leave - he was a top 5 draft pick afterall - and then he clumsily drops Melbourne in it.

I think people are reading far too much into the circumstances.

Yeah, I really don't understand why the most obvious explanation isn't being trotted around... McLean is a goddamn dumbass!

Yeah, Brock McLean is your textbook sociopath if you ask me.

Good riddance we got rid of this guy!

The irony that McLean left because of culture issues - yet Brock McLean is a culture issue in itself.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
