Lethal

Is anyone left at the club that would be capable? PJ maybe but he's so busy drafting Board Minutes recording "resignations and pending AFL payout assistance" he probably hasn't got time to scratch himself.

Watched him play a number of games in the 2nd half of his career. Would rank for mine as the dirtiest player i've seen alongside David Rhys Jones and Dipper. No harm in asking I guess but I recall someone asking him this just after Bailey was sacked. He just laughed and said there was no way he would. And that was before we became the official basket case of the AFL. I doubt he'd want to jump into our frying pan at his fragile age. Might not survive the first month let alone the first year.

Dermot, Andrews, Duckworth, Merrett, Grinter, Fidge, loved those days... bring back some biff.

I rather watch John Duckworth then his Brother Billy any day of the week.

I remeber when John standing outside the oppositions teams change rooms after half time waiting for the coward who KO a young Dean Laidley earlier in the game.

Think John must have told him that he was a goner if he came anywhere near him for the rest of the game, which being the coward he was he never did.

I have always respected senior players looking after their younger team mates. But never want to see the cowardly hits behind the play.

The whole thing is being set up in the background by Jackson and Demetriou. They are talking to all of the prospects, and I would be almost certain the matter has been discussed with Matthews.

Hope u r right bbb cause we can not afford to get this wrong for a third time as that will be the death of our great club.

All this talk about 'is someone from the club talking to him" and so on, is a load of absolute nonsense.

I think you are pretty close to the mark here 'Barassi', with the current board on the outer and a FD in transition there is no other way for it to work.

The problem with letting the afl make our decisions, is that they might allocate an avg fee to the coaching position, which would eliminate Roos, Matthews, Thompson and clarkson.

They may more be thinking about stability and sustainability and would therefore be inclined to pick eade.

We need a president that can represent the rank and file, and give us our long awaited 'great' coach, Lethal.

Disagree with this T.

In my opinion the AFL no doubt recognise our dire position and realise that we need an "A" grader for a coach which would be either Roos, Matthews, Thompson, clarkson or the like (depending on availability and desire).

I would Hope So.

& I think the anxst is because the factions could shoot us all in the foot, if they manage to change the board mid ships & throw a spanner into the board... if we miss out on a Matthews,,, the club will split, right down the middle.

these factions better be careful bringing back their past.

I contacted the club today in regards to Leigh Matthews and the opportunity for me to join the future board.

She said I will be contacted later today.

I don't think you'll get a look in today for some reason...

TT In my wildest dreams I just don't see it happening.

He has given no indication he is interested in coaching again anywhere.

Let alone a basket case of a list like the MFC.

In 2012, he said he was interested in the MFC position, but was not contact by the club. It was on 3AW for everyone to hear. I know Gerard Healy was surprized to hear that, as I think all the listeners were surprized. 1 big royal [censored]-up.

There is nothing I would like more T

But I think he has moved on.

Love to be wrong!

We paid $400 for MN but a top coach could cost $1,5m does the MFC have that amount of cash?

If that is Lethal's fee, we will make it back in spades. We will also save money not having to renew the contract of half of the assistant coaches that surrounded Neeld.

Realistically, if we got Lethal, our membership base would increase by 10,000, especially with all the hype that will surround the 'new look team' which will also include Hogan.

The real question is, if both Matthews and Roos say yes, which one would we go for? Probably the one with more desire.

Top coaches pay for themselves, if lethal come aboard you would gain 6000 members, now time that by 200 dollars and lethal pays for himself, I'm sure Webjet and Opel would be delighted with that result also.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
