    Sorry DJ, I'm not placing blind faith in Jackson.

    I'm concerned about his hidden agenda.

    I'm more and more confident that

    a) someone has hacked Jumbo's account and has taken over, perhaps Rangy who has been suspended as far as i'm aware or even Jose? or,

    b) he has snapped (understandably) due to too many years supporting a basket case of a club, i'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take any more or

    c) he is going off radar, black ops, off the grid, gone rogue, broke bad, is waging a misinformation campaign

    And you are kidding if you think that Jackson would give the reigns to Brown, Ling or Kirk and that fans would be excited over them.

    Fans would be wary of them, anxious even.

    And Craig is contracted for next year. And he is a proven head coach.

    Now you are becoming boorish.

    What agenda or you paranoid about? And why do you think a MFC employee - which Jackson is and will remain for the life of his tenure - will do what you are so nervous about?

    I would love to get Kirk in as an assistant. An out and out winner.

    For those too slow or without memory - that was Brian Royal.

    What year did Ratten take over our midfield, from memory he was the one that fixed our midfield.

    You don't need A grade midfielders to be organised and well drilled, our midfielders have no idea at stoppages, the defensive side is always open, they work as individuals with no team blocking.

    Anyone that backs our current assistant coaching staff has no idea, when was the last time Royal was at a successful club, same as Rawlings, Brown great from Collingwood but was a third string back up tall.

    i have to say that often our mids work to positions of least effect often turning the wrong way and/or attempting to link play with the most dubious of choices.

    Much of this must surely go to whatever it is they are drilled in.

    I'd love to get him as a coach!

    A young coach (currently an assistant) that has a profile, knows the contemporary game, will still be fitter than most on our list and has had a long, respected career.

    You know my names.

    Fmd - Blokes like Jonesy, Gawn, Spencer etc will develop through the stratosphere! Even Watts will find his mojo.

    Please, no Eade, no Williams, no Craig, no Ratten!!

    Relocation is definately on the cards for us....

    Why would an ever expanding AFL, want to save a club that own's a pittance of the melbourne market... Which could easierly be recovered by the stronger clubs in melbourne....

    The stronger clubs would appreciate the space and the AFL would love to attack another market..... like Tassie,Darwin or New Zealand..... The articles will start soon....

    He was at St Kilda for 2010 when they drew the GF but this was as a Development Coach. In four stints as an Assistant he has been dogged by mediocrity. More recently this has been especially so.

    Well the penny has finally dropped on the AFL. Thats why they are taking away responsibilty from the incompetant old boys who have been living on past glories and traditions for far too long. If the AFL wanted to relocate us they would let us starve until an inch before death before throwing us the lifeline.

    the AFL wont move us anywhere the oldest club named after the capitol city of the heart of football stands for too much and means too much in a promotional and marketing sense.

    That's how i see it...and it may be why the club did not go to court last summer.

    The AFL want the Melbourne Football Club strong and at the G....we are worth a lot more to them where we are than a relocation which would cost a fortune for decades.

    No, you give me a break!

    I will not pander to mindless surrender to a CEO who has been appointed by the AFL.

    What about the fact that he was probably the most qualifies bloke to take on the role? We got the best, finally a professional at the helm and you're all negatives!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
