Conspiracy Theory: Gerard Healy


Swooper

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a grasp of Gerard Healy's true relationship with the MFC?

Obviously (thanks, Trenners) his brother is the Football Director. Many here deride and question him, but I can't help but think that there is more at play here.

How he teed up Brock McLean to open the tanking debacle again that ultimately flushed out Schwab, McLardy and others on the board.

The fact in the media he somewhat set the agenda for the timing of Neeld going - bye bye at the bye.

I have heard that he is very well connected and regularly discusses the state of the game with many key powerbrokers.

Could it be that Gerard has had more involvement in all of this than we truly appreciate?

I saw him surfing with Nathan Jones one morninga few months ago. Does that count as discussing things with key powerbrokers?

I think he's closer to MFC than most other clubs for what its worth.

Interesting theory, if a little far fetched. I don't think Healy is responsible for deliberately flushing out Schwab via McLean. In fact, I'd say he brought a lot of needless pain to the club. Schwab would have lost his job anyway following the Essendon game IMO. Not being a Melbourne person, I can't see his motives in this. I think the McLean thing was his attempt at 'hard hitting journalism'. On The Couch tends to get a few big admissions though. You could say that Essendon may have used it as a forum to test the waters with Watson the other night.

He did not tee up Brock. There was another player, I can't remember who, that was going to be on that night. That player could not come and Brock was organised as the replacement.

If he exposed the MFC to the tanking investigation just to get rid of a CEO and a President then I'd have no respect for him at all, to put it very mildly. There are ways of removing people without clobbering the club, or even risking the destruction of the club.

In the world of security . Healy would be seen as a liability. Thats Greg not Gerard.

Loin chop said on FC that he left Melb because there was bad blood. he didn't say with whom. He also said that that was now over so I am guessing the people involved are gone.

I wasn't living in Melb when Healy left the MFC so have no recollection of what happened but its fair to say he has done us no favours in the past 15 -20 yrs. In fact it appears he has gone out of his way to pot us,

AS far as I am concerned he is a [censored] and should stay well away from the club.

Lyon also said that if Gerard Healy was getting info from the club :"it wouldn't be his brother. He's got a direct line to the board". The obvious implication being that someone else was leaking to Gerard. Appeared no great affection from one No. 3 to the prior occupant of the jumper.

Ironically, it was Nathan Jones who was due to appear.

Can't remember why the club pulled his appearance though.

I think we may have suffered a bad loss that week.

Trust a poster with the moniker "Machiaevelli" to open a thread about Gerard Healy and conspiracy theories involving that episode of On the Couch.

Sounds like the one a poster once sent me about the goings on in the green room before the actual interview and about the questions that were asked and the ones that weren't.

$500k plus, plus & plus, substantial disruption and dislocation to the club, heavy defeats, some sackings, resignations and other penalties, the club was on its knees but surely, not a conspiracy?

My informant who works at Quicksilver (under Greg) says:

He is a much better big wave surfer than Sugar, who isnt bad.

They are both Melbourne men thick and thin. He lost me there but hope he is right. Kinda like Snape.

they discuss all questions for every guest in the greenroom preshow

no conspiracy, if the guest says not to ask a certain question, then its off the table

if they will answer that question , then its put into printed sheet preshow by director

Could not agree more with the above post.

I try to stay positive when posting but this bloke does my head in. He is a [censored] of the highest order. He seems to want to harm the club and seems to enjoy doing it. He can nick off

I sorry but cant respect a guy who left his club to chase the money unless its in the present day where that the expected thing to do.

GH its time to go as you have been voted off the Island (Australia).

So off to Tasmania for you.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
