JB and Billy were saying that DB is holding on to a story for the footy show tonight about a club who's players are unhappy. Please don't let it be us , this year has sucked enough already!

I wouldn't mind if it IS us - there are many players who have shown that they are happy by their leadership and by re-signing with the club. If they were unhappy then they wouldn't have stuck around. The ones who will be unhappy are the ones who got it easy during the Dean Bailey era and are now being asked to work much harder than they want to.

I just hate the club being portrayed by the media as some kind of dis functional circus.

We're the same as every other club.. Thinking we're above all others is what starts a disfunction in the first.

Cleaning up a mess is messy, but it's the first part of renewal. Take our medicine and keep moving onto becoming a healthy club.


The media's excessive interest in all things MFC, is it a blessing or a curse?

Curse when bad news and blessing when good news.

Sheeesh. Of course its us. What other club does DB have any insight/network into?

 

Why would it not be a surprise if it is us. Would make it an interesting night at the B&F. I just want this year to be over. In saying that they said it was a big melbourne club. I would like to think we are big but I hope we arent that big. Im sick of hearing stories about how the players and coach dont get on. It would be nice for another club to be in the news for other reasons. Lets hope its essendon.

DB = Damian Barrett I assume.


My guess is Bulldogs.

Lol... Green, Moloney, Rivers, Cook, Gysberts, Davey all gone/possibly gone/or rumored... It's us.

*edit: plus Jurrah and Lawrence

im guessing its collingwood and heath shaw is leading the charge

If it is us, will be interesting to see Gaz's reaction, he's used the show to have a crack at the players to fire them up before, so he doesn't always defend the club as such.

It would be us I would think. I cant see it being anyone else!


I don't have a shred of sympathy for our playing group at the moment, so if it's us I'll be a little bit [censored] at the players.

Anyway, my money's on Carlton.

It probably SHOULD be us, isn't that what everyone is wanting? All depends on the angle I guess, whether it's players unhappy with their coach etc or the obvious angle of the players that have left in recent times.

I heard last week that there was some serious infighting at essendon and James hird has even offered his resignation.

Thing is...

We aren't exactly exciting news. Everyone already kinda assumes that our players are not that content atm.

Why would we be newsworthy in terms of this?

Lol... You know my thing about not trusting people with hardly any posts...

I rest my case.

Same reason people slow down to look at a car crash...

.... DB is 'holding onto a story'

Heck even hutchy could figure that out some of our players are not happy, I'll admit DB ain't much higher up the food chain, but its not THAT exciting.

Wouldn't exactly be a shock would it...

 

I too was confused if it was Dean Bailey we were fked. But Damien Barret... yawn.

I rest my case.

gone early with that call.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
