Whose the source JJC?

Reliable or not?

A friend(knowledgable in Amateur Footy, only, as far as I know), whispered it confidently in my ear.

I had no opportunity to question his sources.

    Why did we not sign up all the assistants on three year contracts like the head coach? That seems a little strange.

    Apparently Brown and Rawlings got 2 year contracts when Neeld came on board, and Royal got a three year contract from 2011 under Bailey.

    That's the info I have heard.

    LOL. Mate. Have you been attending nutbean's seminars on "how to have a successful marriage" again? (Sorry, nutbean!) I don't know too many women who would just move interstate at the behest of her husband without it being a two way decision. Honour and obey died out years ago.

    I have many strengths - selecting suitable marriage partners is apparently not one of them.

    Is it today that the AFL ratify or reject our assistance package?

    Yes would think we will hear either late today or tomorrow on the outcome.

    If correct rpfc that is the best news I have heard today.

    We have a crap list but if we are to have a new coach it would be good for them to pick their assistants.

    Hopefully it's a good result. If so, I think Roos will start to find his apetite for coaching again very quickly! :)

    I wouldn't think the AFL will release wether we are getting a PP prior to the season finishing.

    If we won a few games after it was announced there would be another round of outcry from the other clubs

    They might not announce it but if they have made the decision, well as we know the AFL leeks like a sieve.

    ...couldn't care about the other clubs by the way.

    The only winnable game I can see in the run home is the Bulldogs, so that's 3 for the season, that's a paltry return.

    Round 19 not "winnable"?

    If that's the Giants at Blacktown then I think they will start favourites, how can you win games if you can't get the ball inside 50, I was impressed with the Dogs yesterday as well, we will be very lucky to register again this season WJ.

    im inclined to side with this. Only caveat is the drier the track the better our chances. Seemed like a couple of wheel fell of the wagon saturday, maybe they can get them back on.

    I love how fickle we are. Put in some effort? We could win 5 more games. Have a poor day? We won't be a chance again!

    may I put it to you its not us as such that are fickle.....more so say about 22 odd blokes !!!! :unsure:

    our attitude remains pretty much the same depending on outcome ^_^

    The same, or close enough to, 22 blokes plagued two teams in two weeks. Week 1 we play Ok, week two we pay poorly.

    The difference isn't the players it's the supporters. We extrapolate form from 1 week to the next ten then change our extrapolation based on every data point.

    When we played Ok against the dogs and swans people were talking about is winning 4 more games. We get beaten by the cats now we won't win another??

    I see a different logic to this.

    Same 22 >>> Different performance( effort ) >>>> different outcome>>>>>> different forecast

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
