Dirty Harry: "Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here.."

Punk: "Who's we sucker?"

Dirty Harry: [slowly drawing out his .44 magnum] "Smith & Wesson... and me"

I'm sure there's someone around who could adapt it to the current situation

I think it's wise for the club to play a dead bat to the AFL and deny oxygen to the Media who'd love us to feed the circus.

Is Don. Is good.

Hats off to him and the footy admin for how they've handled this thus far. Not giving the story any oxygen whatsoever, not jumping at shadows and the timely introduction of the Finkster (with the veiled threat of court action - much more efective than chest thumping) have all been very effective strategies.

Harry C was a man of few words. Smith and Wesson being but two!! :)

Well Andrew...do you feel lucky ?

I would love to hear this:

"I'm President of the Melbourne Football Club, the most powerful football club in the world, a club that will blow your investigation clean out of the water. You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Thank God the Don's the President and not some of you mob. They've just put the submissions in and this week will be a very very important one for the Club while the Commission review the submissions. For the next week frankly, we Supporters are the least important part of this equation. Acting in a way that makes the Club as small a target as possible for the Commission and for the Press is the only way to go for this week. If the Commission come out and charge them then the Club should remain a small target until the hearing. So far the AFL have treated these matters as a press circus. Everything going on with the Tippett issue was in the paper before any of the hearings. It was a disgrace. So much for natural justice or the right to be heard.

This isn't just about the MFC. This is also about three servants of the Club who by acting with the Club's interests at heart at no benefit to themselves, in fact against their own interests, find themselves fighting to save their own careers. Spare a thought for Bailey who whether he was good or bad, acted with throughout to develop the team for the long term not for the short term to get wins to save his job. He is having to fund a legal battle of massive proportions with only some financial assistance from the Coaches Association. I hate to think of the cost of paying top lawyers to forensically read through 800 pages of evidence, then conduct hours and hours of interviews themselves then write extensive responses. And he's not at the Club. Same goes for Connolly who only ever acted with the Club's interests in mind.

I for one are happy for the Club to say no more than has been said. I suspect we are in for a long drawn out saga on this one.

Having to spend $100,00's of dollars in legal fees to save their careers.

As always, we appreciate your input on these forums, Cameron.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
