Robbo not happy with Beamer about his 'Karma is a bish' slogan.

They reckon PJ is one ruthless SOB.

PJ reckons players want out of our club and decisions had to be made for that - and membership, etc.

 

Neal craig wont be at mfc. Neither will most if any of the assistant coaches. Finally get rid of Royal


Robbo rang Paul Roos 4 weeks ago and Roos told him that Roos won't be coaching MFC next year.

Robbo says that Roos doesn't say the same in tomorrow's paper.

So, ray of hope perhaps.

Rocket Eade on next.

Love Robbo because unlike other journo's he has actual sympathy for us and never sticks the boot into us! I have seen David King and that other [censored] Mclure lay it into us and you will always find Robbo sticking up for us, pointing to the little positives. For an Essendon supporter too he isn't biased like some other people in the media.

 

Robbo said th pres could be Christopher from IOOF (did not catch his last name).

Think he said he was GM, in the Hun tomoz.

Cheers guys, I had no idea how to spell it and did not want to make more of a ar$e of myself that I normally do :P

I don't think any previous coaches like Roos, Mathews Eade etc will put their hand up while there is a coach in place at a club.

But once the incumbent is no long in place the game changes.

That is not to say Roos will announce he is available, I just think that he will stop saying NO in public if he has any interest.


Robbo said that John Ralph has spoken to Roos tomorrow's paper and this time he did not categorically say he would not coach Melbourne next year.

Eade still said he has the fire in the belly.

If we wanted to chat to Rocket he would entertain it.

Bomber said no, instantly.

He just put Eade under more pressure than I've seen in recent times - of any candidate be put under, on live tv.

Eade still didn't really give an answer.

Bomber said no, instantly.

In fairness to Bomber, he has been the most successful coach in recent times and is now back at the club he captained.

I don't think Bomber will coach any other side but Essendon again.

Gerard did ask Bomber the same question, "in the right situation, would you coach Melbourne" Bomber said no halfway though the question, then straight away as the question was finished.

 

Yep...........Eade is definitely a candidate based on his comments.

Over to MFC to determine a target list.

I wish Robbo was on the Couch, he'd definitely put some heat on Paul Roos.

Agree, Roos will no doubt dance around the question. As someone mentioned above, I'll also be watching body language as I don't think they'll be asking him hard hitting questions.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
