Jon Ralph just tweeted Dees Media Mgr rushes from training - to prepare for tanking finding??

Ok, we'll maybe it may take a bit longer for an announcement? How long ago did he tweet that? Lets just get it over with!

AFL will hold a media conference at 2pm today with Gillon McLachlan and Andrew Demetriou, regarding the Melbourne FC investigation.

Incredible that after 7-8 months of this bullsh!t it's finally coming to head. Whether it's a conclusion or not......

I can't find that Tweet.

Mark Stevens.


Dee-day has arrived

yep agree, take the deal

And what would that be? The AFL can suck off. No investigation or punishment of those who went before us means no deal.

Who knows, this might be just the beginning?
 

Sometimes you gotta know when to make the deal.

In spite of all fairness, it may be the best outcome we can possibly get.

(Whilst I'd like to do it, I don't think dragging this through court will create the best outcome for the club)

Why court?

The next logical step is taking our case to the Commission. The pros and cons of this should, and probably have been, discussed by the board.

I suppose the fink has his writ all ready to go - LOL

Gee.....I hope so......

Stand Up MFC. Today is it...

You have my vote for what little it is worth

Didn't we reply to the report by the investigators??.......The commission then deliberated ......and the results will be known at 2.00pm today.....It is then up to the club to appeal to a court of law if they don't think the decision is fair.....I might be wrong on this.......


Why so?

I remembered you were supporting Fans B-Bobs views of wanting to accept the sanctions & handover our people to the executioner.

Now we are further along the track & the AFL have moderated, & the papers are turning towards our perspectives (interestingly since the AFL have moderated their views).

The 'Team Fan', who wanted us to shed blood within,,,, are now easing off, & 'Fan' suggests he knows who the louses are. If true, I can only assume Fan has an inside channel to the AFL contacts, or to some on our own board with the inside goss.

This would explain him playing the politics & also supporting Kero. a faction within?

Are you avoiding the question ? What is your opinion ? Did we try and lose matches in 2009 ? Come on. You can do it.

No

It's come to this then?

“ You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,

Know when to walk away, know when to run.

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,

There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

”

If this is really about integrity then the AFL must announce a new Inquiry on tanking across the entire league

Anything less will be a damning indictment on the credibility of the AFL

You know i'm right :lol:

Win, lose or draw I reckon this thread might top 4000 posts by the end of the day.

Good god no, please not Kenny... but it HAS come to this:

You know i'm right :lol: '

I will hold all bets for " yes we are conducting an investigation into Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood, WCE, and GWS'.

I am offering odds of 100 to 1

There is no way we will take this thing to court.

If we have negotiated this "reported" outcome then we will not be taking anything to court. We would have taken it on the chin like we always do. Sit Demon Sit ... Good Dog.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
