The rich get richer.

That's right. Hawks also signed up a new irish guy as an international rookie. Surely the richer clubs will eek out more of an advantage with better and more coaches, more international rookies, better and more recruiters... arrgh...

Thats one that got away I think,though he possibly wouldnt have wanted to come back to the bottom of the ladder again

Anyway all is not lost, MFC apparantly have managed to retain the multi experienced Brian Royal.

Not bothered. Am sure if the club thought he was worth pursuing we would have. We didnt muck around getting others

Having said that i want a better performng midfield. How much of that is purely the cattle and how much the muster.well we'll know next year.

For some reason there are supporters who think we have to collect everyone !!

Based on Tom McDonald's (and to a lesser extent Watts when he was down back) development, Rawlings' ability seems encouraging. Hopefully Strauss, Bennell, Tapscott or whoever else the FD have earmarked as the core defensive group continue to show improvement.

Most of MFC's coaches are actually inexperienced in their roles....except for Brian Royal.

So the jury is still out on most of them I guess,

From head coach down thus why I was hoping Ratts was a chance for us would have been huge get.... But onwards and upwards Dees forever.

Ratten is a absolute bonus for Hawks. They'll be happy to be rid of Cameron. All I ever hear coming out of Leon Cameron's mouth is and um, and ahhh, you know...about a hundred times and UMMMMM. Media has been building Cameron up for the past 5 years. Poor GWS...suffer in ya jocks!

He was never a chance for us.

Ratten didnt want the only head coach role going this year at Port.

The next best option was the assistant coach at Hawthorn.

Go figure.

You havent got a clue. Cameron had good results with the Hawks midfield who were close to the premier midfield in the comp. Who gives a rats clacker about how he handles 30 second sound bites as he runs off the ground.

Looks like the MFC is Backing it's coaches and changing the cattle.

Most of them are contracted and were appointed 12 months ago. If there was an issue with the coaching the investigation should start from the top.

Yeah a bit sad about ratten, was hoping that he might have come and coached our midfield, but maybe would be a power struggle between neeld and ratts. Would want to bring in proven coaches from successful teams so even if melbourne could snare bassett as an assistant coach.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
