A CLUB IN CRISIS ... THE AFL MUST STEP IN

Featured Replies

What about McLardy, HT. He backed this guy to the hilt. Endorsed his three-year contract not a few months ago.

Surely he must walk in due course as well, no?

Pi55 off troll.

 

Just goes to show that the great American philosopher Thomas Paine was right when he said -

"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."

And what was that Einstein quote about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome? Something about stupidity? Engaging certain members of this site and expecting a change is clearly stupid! I'll learn.

You are a no-nothing, ignorant twerp. Always wrong on just about every issue.

And now you're on ignore.

I love the Melbourne Football Club, you love to try and bring it down, you've already started your next mission trying to get rid of McLardy.

Wrack off troll.

i bet you a few 100 it was an AFL directive if you read Don's letter from yesterday.

That said Cam stood down with complete dignity intact and i applaud him for that.

Of course they did, WYL.

It's called the 'tap on the shoulder'.

The AFL are all over this.

Another one from Einstein -

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Good.

Last saturday was proof that right now we are out of our depth.

We must take assistance.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

No I am not the the older brother I just feel old and barracking for the Demons for 57 years will do that to you.

Alleged call came after round 1 and cannot name source but rumour arose at launch of another league where one of the coaches works for the AFL (probably said too much). Same night was rumour that AFL would take over admin of Demons within a month unless things improved....they haven't

Thanks for that Older. Fascinating and proof that hidden in the the dross there is sometimnes some nuggets of gold on this site. One assumes today's announcement relates to the second rumor.

The irony is beautiful.

And so is me responding to you again. :wacko:

The MFC can now finally move on from 186.

Melbourne football club should go hard for Adrian Anderson

Haha yes to get over the tanking culture we should get in the guy that charged us with tanking... hmmmmmmm

Anderson would be an excellent choice right now.

I don't take delight in being right. But I will say that the way some of you attacked me here was shameful.

There's debate and then there's belittling a fellow Dees man and trying to get him banned for voicing an opinion.

Have a good hard long look some of you (Stuie, Satyricon etc)

The hypocrisy stemming from this post is insane.

You are not the only one to hold the views you hold; plenty of others agreed with your positions re: Schwab, McLardy, Neeld etc.

You, though, are the only one to consistently shove them down everyone else's throats (e.g. all the threads you start). Simultaneously, you do not engage in debate with anyone, you merely provide one-liners like '32-102' or 'it's OK, you'll turn eventually' or references to addiction.

It's OK for you to believe what you believe, you seemingly genuinely care about where this club goes in the future. But you never ever accept anyone else's opinion, you never engage in debate with someone who disagrees with you, and you regularly put down anyone who disagrees with you.

You're the one who belittles, RR, and you're the one whose conduct is shameful.

Anderson would be an excellent choice right now.

Hire someone Vlad got fired to replace someone else Vlad got fired?

I don't mind the idea of Anderson taking on the role despite his involvement in the tanking investigation.

He'll have a better knowledge of the club than many of the other possible candidates, and has probably looked at it in a much more critical way given his past duties.

I call it the 'mallet to the back of the head' approach. Shock therapy. It's not something I take pleasure in ... but a lot of you were that far in denial.

I was right that he had to go now. Not at the end of the year. Not next week. Now.

And so it was proven.

Quit being such an over-sensitive sook about it.

Intervention by the AFL is starting to appeal.

The first thing we do under the patronage of the AFL is organise three priority picks for the November draft as well as the right to sign up Lachie Whitfield under special concessionary rules and Buddy Franklin as a free agent for $2m per annum which will be a recurring concession outside the salary cap. Included in our cap will be the money we play his layabout old man for acting as our CEO while someone at AFL does the real work.

Next we award ourselves the four points for each of the two opening games as a result of the ASADA penalty that wipes the entire Essendon team of 2012 which affects both Port and Essendon and actually puts us on top of the ladder.

Carlton will finally get charged with tanking. Not for 2005-7 but for this year (they're already 0-2 and worse to come).

Ha! What a load of rubbish troll. You have taken serious delight in the whole thing, why else would you PM people today saying "I win!"...

The sooner you are off this site and find another club to support destroy, the better.

First, you haven't been proven right that he had to go. You've been proven right that he would go now, but unless and until we see this decision have positive ramifications, you haven't been proven right on that.

Second, if you've already forgotten, you were the one who originally said you were 'belittled' and that people's conduct towards you was 'shameful'. If me using those terms makes me an 'over-sensitive sook', then you are the same thing. Hypocrite.

Finally, there you go again with a glib quote. You didn't make the apple fall. You picked the apple, then threw it at those with whom you disagree.

Lol.

It's been fun, but I'm not going to let you make this thread about me.

This attack the messenger act is offically over.

Ignore.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
