Anyone heard anything from Greg Healy?


Hip & Shoulder

Recommended Posts

Has anyone heard anything of/from Greg Healy - Football Director - in relation to the performances of the team in 2013? He appears to be one of the 'voiceless' men (as opposed to 'faceless').

Thoughts?

How many Directors (excl President) of other AFL clubs do you hear making public comments?

said before mate.

were trying to have less talk coming from inside the club.

the only people that should be speaking is the coach and the prez

and the prez should get permission off the coach beforehand to speak

less speakers means less trash spread in the press

Hip and Shoulder raises a valid question. He is the Football Director and our Football at present is Schizen.

and whats that got to do with making public comment

I don't recall anyone saying Sugar had to make a "public" comment, but a message to members about the way forward might be reasonable? That said, Daisycutter asked the question: "How many Directors (excl President) of other AFL clubs do you hear making public comments?"

My answer to that would be not many............... until the proverbial hits the fan. At times like those, at least at other clubs who go through crises, they come out with all guns blazing. Stand strong.

Trying to recall what the Football Director at Port Adelaide did last year at their moment of crisis. Guns blazing then? I recall Primus and the President standing down. Their President was in an emotional heap.

Yeah, I don't think Sugar should say anything publicly. It'd just look like we are more of a mess.

I think it's time we just accept that we have no hope of seeing much in 2013. It's breaks my heart to watch the footy club look so pathetic consistently.

Yes, why don't we just be a little selective in citing examples. James Brayshaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Citing the Port example in fact backs up what I am saying. They acted swiftly and clinically. Note the difference in them this year????

I think you'll find iws that in those circumstances the president talks to the public on behalf of the board

Edit: and he has said the coaching position won't be looked at until mid season (although i'm sure it is getting lots of discussion internally)

Well Hip & Shoulder did raise the topic of FD in Sugar. I assumed that was the topic I'va - my mistake if that is not the case.

By the way, can I buy some exclamation marks from you. You seem to have them in abundance. ;)

Last time I looked HT, they were free and available in an assortment of fonts and colours, so knock yourself out. I'll say again, I can't find anywhere in this thread, where anybody has said or requested that Sugar goes virally public, but at the risk of sounding too precious, it would be good to hear from him just the same.

We sure do have some keyboard warriors on here don't we??????? Whoops, sorry for the liberal use of punctuation again.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
