Really set him and the players up for failure, who ever thought this was a good idea had no idea.

Needed to go about their business without all this garbage.

the filming of the pre game address has Schwab written all over it i reckon. another hair brained scheme

One more piece of news from me.

I was told bysomeone who works at the club, that the club was shocked over how many payers asked to e traded last year.

Some left, but there are still a handful who asked to leave , but are still playing in the team

??? I'm shocked they were shocked. Players wanted to go to other clubs that are either successful or be just wanted out of the MFC horrible culture... No really?! Who has there head in the sand?

One or two posters were saying this as early as the begining of last year. It has been my opinion alll along. I wish I could name names. Edited by Muvver Jones

You mean some aren't feeling very chipper?

If they ask to be traded, let them go.

They are useless if they don't want to play for the jumper.

Who cares where we pick them, offload them.

If Frawley is one, and thinks he can be a running backman at another club, off ya go.

We have a few untouchables.. Howe, Clark, Jones, Viney, Tom Mac, Grimes and Blease.

If anyone else asked to be traded, I'd open the door for them.

Players will be keen to leave this year, because Moloney, Pettard and Rivers will most likely have good years

and it will give our players an excuse that they aren't that ordinary.

But, truth is, Moloney would've had a decent year if he stayed, but he would've still bombed it into the forward line with no direction.
Pettard still would've turned it over and Rivers would've killed it like he always has when he's got on the park.

Why can't you name them? Does it matter at this point?

They will step in on Monday morning my friend.

RR - I heard something similar on Thursday night from a friend attending a meeting launching another league. He told me than within the next four weeks, the AFL will step in and there will be many, many changes. I had my doubts on Thursday but its seeming a possibility after yesterday.

Yep Jane, it's only logical. We are damaging 'the brand'. And that's pretty much the beginning and the end of it.

Not naming them but can be idenfied as required players. Players with some experience. If things dont change quickly it will come to the stage where we have to restart almost from scratch like GWS and GCS. Edited by Muvver Jones

Let me name the dead wood for you: Sylvia, Jamar and Watts. There are also players like Tapscott, Gillies, McKenzie, Byrnes and Rodan who will not perform without a complete change of coaching and game plan. I am also convinced that we need to drop those who do not want to put in and play the youth: Taggert, Tynan, Kent, Barry, Evans and Davis. Play these guys and see what they have got. Drop a couple off the main list and upgrade Couch and Magner. Both those guys would kill for a spot in our starting 22.

The AFL just spent months damaging this brand while saying that everyone else that tanked was ok, maybe they should look at the damage they are doing to the brand. by the way where is the drugs investigation going besides nowhere, so if essendon players are found guilt do they loose any premiership points?

Rock Bottom.

They've all got to go.

Neeld's pre-match address was mind-bogglingly inept. Poor bloke's lost the dressing room. Got no idea.

McLardy, Schwab ... on yer bikes. Resign now for the good of the club.

Or we go the way of Fitzroy.

What's your agenda RR? You trying to kill the club? Would you find that satisfying in some demented way?

Or are you just trying to be the 'know all' on the site again ...

Cop a tip - it's not actually about you.

I think what he was saying is you can criticize all you want but if you don't have any alternative suggestions then you're no better than those you criticize.

What part of the AFL will need to step in don't you understand?

These jokers couldn't run a primary school fete.

Gotta agree. I have never made negative comments about another poster but I am going to now...

Range rover you seem to take a perverse glee in the club's darkest hour. Stop sticking the boots in. We all know about the massive issues we are faced with so give it a rest. Don't let your negative karma bite you I the arse is all I can say.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
