As it doesn't really relate to the Tanking case, here are the tweets:

- Neil: the way the players have attacked training has been up another level.

- Neil: Next Monday, the majority of rehab players will be back on the track excluding Clark and Trengove.

- Neil: re Boxing Day incident there won't be any penalty applied to players and clarifies they weren't evicted.

- Neil says the speculation about tanking has had minimal effect on training and elite preparation.

- Neil says whilst there is a sense of urgency to resolve the tanking issues, it won't be rushed.

- Re: new leadership group. Neil says all members will need to lead by example and provide leadership in decision making.

- Neil says the last 12 months has partially been about educating players about what is required to achieve the ultimate success in AFL.

- Neil Craig's press conference has now finished and will be on http://melbournefc.com.au shortly

Odd a presser is called for such matters.

Designed to change the content of the news feeds.

Interesting tactic.

Got it in one WYL, we seem to be adopting the best form of defence is attack, I am personally sick of all the crap 'reporting', the Boxing Day 'incident' being a prime example.....good on the Club again

Interesting tactic.

Kind of what i thought. Interesting manner of approach.

The old bumbling buffoonery of a club ( This is my take on how many might have seen the club in not so olden times , espc the AFL ) might have made a mess of all of this but there seems to be much wiser and more capable thinkers at the club presently.

The AFL might have instigated the 'fight' but they might well have misconstrued their opponents.

The Club seems intent on doing things on 'their ' terms and not the template others would prefer.

This is interesting, pleasing as well.

Yes we certainly messed things up quite a bit in the past, but i get the distinct impression that the club knows exactly the right way to minimalize these problems & ultimately fix them up now.

People have learnt.

Which is why we should be assisting Dean Bailey on both moral and financial levels right now.

He is representing this club whenever he is speaking about 2008-09.

Rightly so - gross over reaction on the part of the media and many forum posters.

The Boxing day saga, remember?

So what..go hold hands with Ben.

That they got off doesn't diminish the stupidity.

Club has bigger fish to fry currently.

What stupidity, being in a photo and looking like guys in their early 20's having a laugh and a good time.....the stupidity is people believing what was written......unless you are a person who was sat next to them at the G you have no idea what occurred......this is over and the Club has handled it

I think Neil Craig is a great asset for our football club.

Couldn't agree more - an asset in so many ways.

I'm pretty sure if you read between the lines you (even you ) might realise the Club is far from impressed but chose one method of reprehension over another.

Stupid is as stupid does.

I'm actually relieved to hear that.

the game has become too stressful for a sane person to not let the hair down every so often. if they can't de-stress we'll just lose them one way or another.

Neil Craig - most senior person not implicated in tanking investigation speaks on behalf of the club ...

Really? Is Mark Neeld implicated now somehow??

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
