Agree

I have already explained the issue clearly and once again you dont get it.

It is when you make mountains out of molehill. And even if some one sat you down and explained you still wouldnt have a clue and would revert to form of hyperventilating over issues with some false sense of drama, espionage and skull duggery.

You have explained your POV Rhino. It is not mine. And the issue is far bigger than your molehill.

    Statement from the MFC

    "Firstly Brock Mclean didn't leave the club because of tanking. We moved him on because Carlton offered us pick 11 for a slow, stupid, injury riddled player. Who were we to look a gift horse in the mouth. On the tanking issue. Their is no issue. We were a struggling team experimenting with players positions. Hell if McMahon had missed that shot on goal then last nights Sheahan beat up would never have happened. And to Paul Roos, we might be struggling currently but our club will be back just as soon as we move Schwab and Connolly on and find some professionals to run the club. Oh and we need a President who swims with his head above water."

    Sick of people taking swipes at Schwabb and McLardy.

    From what I have seen relating to their off field jobs they have done good things.

    Wish people would apply the same reasoning to Neeld that they do to our other staff and realize they have no idea what happens behind the scenes.

    Sorry Stuie but I do not agree.

    We are lead by two people who appear invisible.

    Why not a passionate defence of the MFC.

    Silence in this circumstance is not golden.

    Just looks like guilt.

    No, Eddie would have fired off his big mouth without thinking, causing more trouble and making it an even bigger story.

    The good things they have done have put the club in this black hole. If the country is stuffed the government gets sacked. If a corporation fails the CEO gets sacked. And it cannot come too sooner.

    Putting yourself up for election ADC?????

    Would you prefer to be $6 mil in debt like Carlton is at the moment?????

    The admin does not choose the draft picks or develop the players

    Could well be. But might not either.

    At least we're in with a shot to get some guns.

    Schwab helped engineer that. Quite skilfully too I thought in the trying circumstances of the Scully fiasco.

    When was the last time eddy got the Pies into trouble.

    They won the GF two years ago, have played finals football for most of the last ten years.

    Are rolling in members, and cash.

    The MFC should be as poorly served by there President

  • Quote

    You lay blame where it is.

    Our off field position is incredible when you take into account our lack of on field success in the last 6 years.

    So who's good work is that?

    The players have not help up their end of the bargain, and we've had 1 coach who was asked to "not focus on winning", and a new coach who's job it is to totally 180 everything about the way we play.

    If you think sacking the CEO will HELP our club then I have some money from an African Prince's deceased estate to put into your bank account... We'll talk

    Yeah Eddie really turned that club around... From the biggest in the land to errrrrrr the biggest in the land... Just like Buckley has turned their team into finals contenders

    But they do choose the people who make the decisions Bossdog.

    And you would have to say they have made some clangers there.

    Why are they above criticism?

    Stuie you are forgetting when he took over they were a basket case on the field and had big debts.

    In his time he has turned them into a power house both on and off the field.

    The results speak for themselves.

    The Guy is a good President.

    I don't want to attack your MFC bonafides but that is telling.

    You were not aware of THAT game a the end of 2007?!

    It's like a touchstone for most of us...

    Riley, 3 retirements, win over Bulldogs weeks earlier, Matty Lappin retiring a week earlier so as to not give any impetus to win...

    Makes we queasy just thinking about it...

    Exactly what I was thinking

    And then Lance Whitnall kicked a point from 20m directly in front.

    What could we possibly do????

    We couldn't possibly have tried harder, they just did it better.

    Kicked 4 points, all very gettable shots

    He's a good prez, for THAT club, but personally I wouldn't like his talk first think later attitude for MFC.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
