Who can we get in?

Ok, I've got the wrists bandaged and starting to think constructively...

Who can we get down to the club this week and in the coming weeks to talk to, train, instruct the players and/or coaches?

From what I've heard today, my votes would be for The Ox and The Duck.

Ox was shattered today, and seems to relate to some of the senior guys and understand what they're doing right/wrong. Made some points on Jamar and Frawley that were spot on. I know he gave a speech recently, but would love to get him down to the club more regularly as someone who can inspire and create passion for the club as clearly Neeld fails on that front.

Duck gave us an old fashioned spray, but also gave us some old school ideas about how to go about the week coming. Not only does he understand about real footy toughness, but he is a guy that gets respect from his presence not from his words (unlike Neeld).

They're my thoughts on "consultants" we could get in, what do you guys think? Who else that is available would be helpful?

    I do not like the idea of exposing Carey to our younger players.

    Yeah, look I really hate him as a person, but football wise he could be valuable to us.

    I see your point. Sadly I think he cannot separate the two.

    Hmmm...

    I think Carey is a damaged brand and may not really command the respect that he thinks he has.

    He does make some outlandish comments on the wireless and has written quite a few sensationalist articles on Franklin going to GWS and the Pies

    'should've' let Cloke walk. The latter is so wrong, it's not funny as Cloke monstored North today and Franklin won't leave.

    Having said that, someone like Ling? or Lloyd? or Cam Mooney? Guys that are not long retired and still have a link with the modern game?

    stuie, what about wholesale changes and getting rid of peahearts and duds? Blokes you mentioned in another thread?

    I'm up for anything and everything! Changes, outside "coaches"... any type of alternative that may turn us around. It's desperate times.

    I agree.

    My wrists are bandaged too, and I've stopped bleeding....list changes must continue.

    The frustrating part is that a lot of those changes will be guys we brought in this year...

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
