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

"A man's got to know his limitations"....
 

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.

Beat me to it 'billy', it's right out of the CS play book.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
