You really are a self important one, aren,t you?

You don't even know what a personal attack is.

Reread my message to you without prejudice and you, even you, will see there is nothing of a PERSONAL nature there.

It is a statement of principle.

And yes, I have done my pro bono work for the club, for years.

And what is your response? You call me a simpleton and then complain about a personal attack.

Tell ya what: tell your story. I reckon we know what it's worth already.

Self important? Interesting....

I don't believe you did anything for the club actually...

Tell ya what: you won't be reading it.

HG,

Please ignore those that just want to read that we have training up to an elite level and just need to get some more games into the players and then we'll be good. I for one am really looking forward to some insight from you mate. I've loved this club for 30 years, given a lot of money and stood by them while family members dropped off. This is more important than upsetting a few that wont be at the club in a few years anyway.

As a genuine supporter of the club with a long term perspective I implore you to tell what you saw. Something is very wrong at the club that you clearly care deeply for. You can help be being honest about what you experienced.

Thanks mate (and thanks for what you've done for the club)

I do not like :/

I do not beleive what people say about Neeld. He is not the only coach on game day, so it would be hard to conclude that he has no game day coaching abilities. He would be listening to the other coaches on game day including Neil Craig. I would write off that he is not a game day coach. I am not sure what is wrong though I find it extremely unlikely that ALL the coaches would have no idea on game day but be so sharp with training.

Mate what I will say has nothing to do with Saturdays result. There's smart enough people around here who know what's going on without me having to say what we can all see....

If HG is on the money this goes way deeper than match day coaching.

I always thought it did. Some people get sick of me mentioning 186 but it is what it is. I have always been amazed that most people kept their jobs after that day.

They won't this time.

I dis-agree, they will continue to keep their jobs.

I cannot see an end to this for a long long time sadly :(

Hell, we even have volunteers walking away ffs. I mean if something going on is pissing off volunteers then imagine how everyone else is feeling.

You call supporters who are vocal about our performance keyboard warriors. You suggest that a bloke being honest about his insights into what is going on at the club has low character for threatening to make those misgivings public.

I dont know the first thing about you mate, but ive paid my hard earned for many years for this club and all I hear lately from inside sources suggests that the club may have some level of internal disfunction that is hamstringing the player's performance. i wouldnt mind knowing about that if its true and I wouldnt mind it being rectified if it is true so that we can move on from it.

I think every paying member has a right to hear what might be going on at the club to explain the performance on sunday. Simple as that.

So basically i view anyone who suggests that supporters whinging as being a 'keyboard warrior' is a load.

Good luck with the expose HG. Just be careful not to put yourself in any legal trouble or get Colin (not this one) in trouble. I look forward to reading your post.

In that case PM away Hell;s gate...

Dont think his going to individually PM every DL member sadly.

Though I wish it were possible

Have faith in the members mate.

We drew our own line in the sand on sunday.

If this gets worse it will be opened up very quickly.

Modern Media will see to that. I bet journos have been following this site all day. 'Land is well known.

I for one want to know whats happening inside the inner sanctum. This club has been too exclusive for too long and whilst I know that the truth might be unpalatable I still want hear it. It's time this festering sore was lanced. Please take care with what you right HG and cover your own arse as well as Col's.

Too exclusive?? The Melbourne football club gives more to their members information wise than any. Do you want to know what goes on at board level? If you do then run for a ticket. I would be more concerned If the club was leaking information from high places. The MFC is a professional organisation run by successful professionals. I will back my club until the end.

Hells Gates you sound like a kid that has taken his ball and gone home. Don't let the door hit you on the way out champ.

It builds the interest mate. tension...

If 6 years of building tension isn't enough then I dont know what is

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
