Craig Cameron set to quit

[Redleg 38,016]

Craig was great for us and great for the club in terms of his relationship with supporters. That definitely went backwards when Barry Prendergast came in and soon after the Demonland/Demonology sponsorship died.

Good luck in your new career, CAC!

And IMO our recruiting went completely backwards when BP came in to the MFC.

I know he didn't have a lot to work with, and may have been over-ruled at times, but I don't really think CAC's recruitment was much better.

We were where we were in 2007 because of a sustained period of poor recruiting and development.

[Redleg 38,016]

On excellent information Chris Connolly is a top bloke too.

Correct. I know he is a mate and yes I stick up for mates, but every thing he has done at Melbourne has been for the club. He improved our footy department, he has chased sponsorship and membership for us, he helped get the foundation off and running and still seeks new members, he is helping develop Casey, he works after business hours giving tours of the new facilities, etc, etc, etc he bleeds for the club.

I am sick to death of some of the snide comments from some on here who want to throw him under the bus. We are all in the trenches together and I hope to God we stick together.

This is not directed at you Fifty-5 it was just an opportune time to post it in reply to your post.

I agree in he was great in coming on and giving us the insight but lets be realistic, when we think of that superdraft we think of that selection. Whether it was danihers choice or not CAC still cops the flak for it and always will.

Does that seem fair to you? If he was totally against Molan but was ordered to take him, do you think it is fair that he is blamed for it?

I heard hes looking at 6 months, and hes going to accept the penalty.

Of course not, but to me that's purely speculation.

I've not seen nor heard any evidence.

You may not have but others have.

You've not realised yet that mjt makes stuff up..?

Silly me.

Well I'd be interested to hear it.

Still, I was never enthralled with many of our recruits from his era.

Depends on how much autonomy he had. Maybe Daniher should wear the blame for a lot of it.

Absolutely redleg.

I want our club to be known as looking out for its own, & cleaning up its own mess.

Not bowing & scrapiing & being oportunistic, to help some disreputable cause of killing 2 birds with one slingshot stone.

[Damo 3,016]

I think Neale Daniher did very well seeing we were broke for most of his time at the club.

He tried his absolute hardest but thats just my view.

Absolutely, but cause and affect applies here - we were flag from 2000 to 2006 and in 2007 we had an old list that was falling apart at the seams.

Clear the pros out and we were left with very little.

I have a sauce, i also heard that there not in that match trouble, an there trying to work out an out come that suits everyone,but the only stumbling block at the moment is DB.

Didnt your "sauce" tell you that CS and CC were going to be sacked? Just how reliable is your "sauce"; not very by the look of it they seem to swing in the wind.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Mjt is talking to sauce. Proof he's not all there..

[Guest José Mourinho]

It's a bottle of HP sauce that talks back to him.

Slowly and carefully back away...

lol

You said that a few weeks ago - that we (I assume you mean 'we') were not in too much trouble.

And then you sepnt the last few days harrassing people by alluding to harsh penalties because of the Zulus comment.

So how many 'sauces' have you had?

Well we dont know the truth do we.. but im saying if it was danihers decisions then CAC is still copping the flack for it and has built the reputaion for it. i agree he doesn't deserve it if it was danihers choice but sadly he is the one copping it when the topic is brought up about the famous super draft year.

[iv'a worn smith 1,979]

too much "sauce" by the sound of it. But I hope "there" not in "that match trouble". sic (hic; hic, hic)

"You're going to cry next week."

Sound familiar?

Not all there...

Interesting that Greg Denham was the reporter who got the scoop.

yeah, with spelling like that i think mjt must be blooey's brother (or blooey himself?)
