Sorry , I can't get the vision out of my mind of Lethal king-hitting Peter Giles from behind .

May give the MFC players more insentive to train and player harder.

Rule 1 - Don't upset the Coach!

    I cannot stand the man, IMHO a real piece of s*#t.

    I wonder how he would get on with the MCC committee and Steve Smith (future MCC president)!!!!!

    Wait you are right, he is also an ex Collingwood coach!

    Do we really want to go there again?

    People saying no to Lethal have to get a grasp on reality. We are the lowest we've ever been and some are rejecting the idea of one of the greatest players and coaches to ever grace the field taking over! Unbelievable.

    One of a number of options we should definitely be pursuing I think.

    What a dog of a player he was, one of the dirtiest I've seen. Hated him with a passion after he whacked Smith in front of me.

    Would love to have him as coach, badly wanted him to replace Bailey.

    From memory he was Baileys mentor.

    Truth is we should have gotten Lethal after Balme was sacked. I specifically remember an article in the Hun around that time where they asked potential coaches at that time what they thought about taking the job. Derm, being a head wobbler, said he would only take the job if there was a carrot the size of Ayers Rocks (eye roll). Lethal, to his credit, said he was prepared to listen. I think Neale was a decent coach for us but I reckon Lethal would have taken us all the way unlike ND who fell just short.

    Get Him Now

    Agree but would want an apprentice if u want to call it that to take over from in the future.

    Who that would be not entirely sure at this stage but Burns has been spoken highly of in the past.

    I would say there is a fair bit of diff between LM and the dud we have TBF.

    A little ironic that you'd be decrying his tactics , whilst feting a total ball player with your name here- Grinter was far from an angel for all those too young to recall.

    And for the record , I advocated Mathews as coach about a month ago

    True but I am still alittle scared.

    Only one good thing as come from Collingwood, Chris Dawes

    2/2: Peter Moore, 1 Brownlow.

    I cant get the vision of him winning flags out of my head

    I have the same problem Waltham.

    There is only one thing I need from the MFC and that is to be a winning team.

    Beyond that I don't care

    - who the players are, if they are first class citizens or if they kick their dog and swear at their mother.

    - who is the coach

    - who is the President

    - how much involvement the AFL has in the running of the club

    Just start winning games.

    Only a fool (or a melbourne supporter) would knock back a chance to get Matthews as a coach

    No rocket science here

    Imagine the quinella of Kennett as president and Matthews as coach.

    Is that to much ego for one club to handle?

    No

    Confidence is what this club needs not shrinking violets

    He also got Laurie Fowler from behind one day. Went off on a stretcher. Lethal was in the forward pocket and Fowler was niggling him all day. Fowler was about twenty yards out (Richmond end) watching up field and Lethal ran from behind and clocked him. He was indeed "Lethal".

    Prefer Leigh over Sheeds,the dee establishment my find Leigh too overpowering,too many sookies around the club.

    If P.Jackson wants J.Kennett for president are the supporters or more so power broker are going to put a stop to it. If so the club should go the way of the dinosaurs.......total extinction.

    54 yrs as a supporter, no premierships, there is a very simple solution.Thank god I am not in charge of training,I would have to buy and endless supply of dunny rolls to mop up players tears.

    p.s So would Leigh

    Henry Coles, Peter Moore were both great for the Dees.

    Hahahaha, I bet we don't even bother asking him.

    If we go for another speculative pick, I think I'll be done caring for the MFC.

    I don't suffer fools easily. The last 6 years has left me dumbfounded.

    Time to learn from our mistakes and stop the reckless gambling. We need go for the sure bet.

    If he's willing, we must give him the reigns. It's a sure bet.

    It will be good for me, my son and the MFC community.

    Please MFC, at least approach him. I don't think that is too much to ask.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
