An interim CEO that does not start until May 1?

Well that's a true testament to our Administration - try thinking about something before you do it (like looking for replacements before firing someone)

Settle down young fella - it's standard business practice.

Bates to Dank:

"Sorry you still up? Trengove is not going to Darwin so I don't need the thymomodulin for tomorrow."

The texts continued until February 5, when Dank was preparing to meet Bates

Wait if we were communicating with Dank through the preseason - wasn't Essendon already under investigation.

A lot of the old MFC medical staff left, because they were paid pennies in comparison to what Misson is on now.

Thats the reason we let Daff and the other guy walk? WTF is wrong with this club?

Sue Dunne mother of Lynden made a late night call to SEN after the essendon loss and said something along the lines of the coaches at Melbourne should be shot for what they are doing to the boys

Was she referring to a drug supplement program?

No, the Essendon stuff came out Feb 5 - our dealings were prior to that.

Well Damien Barrett of course will have more on the footy show. I think Garrys reaction just summed up what us supporters are feeling.

I was going to renew my membership on sunday but Im slowly getting very [censored] off with this footy club.

Darwin was before Christmas.

This at least explains why our players have been so completely unmotivated in their performance, in our first 3 games. I think we have all been frustrated by the inability to understand WHY, at the beginning of a new season, after such a good pre season, the players clearly arent trying. Not chasing, no second attempts, no tackling, slow, appearing unfit. It hasn't made sense.

But now it does.

The text messages abruptly stop at the time of essendon's press conference. Can you imagine the sh@t that would have hit the fan, at that point, in our footy department. As yet, unidentified decision makers, (Schwab?), decided rather than go to the afl as essdon did, we would keep it in house, and hope it doesn't get out.

Players are panicking, reassured by neeld, mission, Craig et al, but as the full catastrophe of essendon, is revealed, players aren't buying it. They, mistrust their coaching/ fitness team, they put in performances, that we have all witnessed.

I feel so sorry for them. I am furious at the incapable management of the football department and of the club itself, who are responsible for the complete embarrassment our club is becoming.

Get rid of them all.

Peter Jackson is coming in. Good.

replace the entire coaching team, the players will never play for them. They mistrust them.

Bring in intim team of coaches for rest of the year, with the aim of getting EXPEPERIENCED coach with proven ability. Headhunt, be proactive, think outside the square! Be brave.

Our family will still go to the game on Sunday, even though hopes for a win have gone. We are not at the bottom yet, the players will be more shattered than before, if possible. But we must support them.

This is our club! And we need to stay strong. Don't let the supporters add to the problems of our club, by giving up!

Lets continue the fantastic enthusiasm of last weeks training turn out.

Go Dees!

So you are in the know that the players distrust the whole coaching staff? Or does one report saying nothing illegal was taken draw you to that conclusion?

Interesting hypothesis. We can't be sure, but as Fifty-5 just said, it can't be dismissed.

I agree with demondame that this would go a long way towards explaining their lacklustre performances. If true we as supported really need to get behind the players - paints a different picture that's for sure.

History repeating? Hey WJ what did Gutnick sack Schwab for again?

these muppets have ruined this club!

not, this club !!! you must be talking about the So Called 'sports scientists', ruining the game of AFL footy.

... & I think you'll find these practices, to be Widespread.

Damien Barrett up next on the footy show.

Are we going to be front pages on the papers again.. I just want to stand on a cliff and vent my frustration and just yell it out.

Correct me if im worng but hasnt there been some talk of our new football department having too much autonomy...is this what is meant?

It is reassuring that nothing illegal was taken but it's not a great look for a club already on its knees.

Weren't there reports of Dank in our parking lot also?

Posted

So you are in the know that the players distrust the whole coaching staff? Or does one report saying nothing illegal was taken draw you to that conclusion?

Something is wrong at our club, something seriously wrong and I wouldn't discount anything.

We are playing to poorly for it to be just the players; I'd like to know who was involved with these rather dodgy practices and see the back of them.

If Trent Croad sent us an email trying to convince us to use these peptides etc., why didn't we come clean when the Essendon [censored] hit the fan. Why did we deny contact with Dank.

Earlier tonight, the MFC Board allegedly attempted to cut a deal with the AFL by offering to forfeit all premiership points for the 2013 AFL season. The AFL was not amused.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
