Footy show says we are going to have one last crack at Roos and the AFL are unhappy with Choco's last days at GWS and it could harm his chances at the coaching gig.

Exactly...and Damian Barrett is a pathetic journo. Read stuff all into his rubbish.

Listening to Lyon introduce him as "the best in the business" is nauseating.

does barrett remind you of an undertaker?

You may be hearing from the undertakers union by way of a defamation action for that one dc.

If I was an undertaker I would be extremely offended.

One thing he has over Neeld is some form of success as an AFL coach, or even just a previous AFL coaching career, to back up the stern words. When you're telling a room full of players about your hard arsed approach to footy and advising them that no-one's spot in the side is safe, it doesn't have much resonance when everyone in the room is thinking, "who is this guy again?"

And Laidley never had the Schwab millstone around his neck to make him a complete Fu-up.

Heard Barrett speak but it was drivel as usual. Most jobs you give notice then stay 2/4/6 weeks. We all know footy is different, when a coach is sacked he packs his desk straight away. Choco was grubbed by Sheedy, he stayed until the end of the last game the left. What were his options?

so even though Choco may want the MFC job and have the passion to lead us forward, that fool Vlad doesnt like the way Choco left the monstrosity that is GWS and so now he doesnt want him to have the gig at Melbourne?

Vlad really needs to watch himself, he is out of line lately.

Personally think Eade is a better choice, still not sure about Williams but I concede others see it the other way around.

Williams has had 2 pretty messy departures from clubs not leaving on good terms, it might be a little bit of all about Mark.

This is hilarious!

Demetriou has said nothing.

It's just Barrett playing pin the tail on the donkey.

If we throw even more at roos and he does take it, what does that say about roos. I get the feeling it's mostly about money when he keeps saying 'not for now'.

If he took it he is a hypocrite.

I don't think it will involve throwing more money at Roos.

It'll be putting the other pieces in place. The right pieces.

And I think it's perfectly understandable that he wouldn't want to say "yes" at this stage, and endure a media circus months before taking control. It'd be bad enough once you start work.

No. Jackson would look like a complete 'doos' if he gave the other prospective coaches the run-around knowing full well that we had Roos in the bag.

One last play now before the end of the season will give the club enough time to plan the interviewing and recruitment process for the other candidates.

Why would we move on from anyone when decision time is not until seasons end.

Its a game.

I think it's more of a case that Roos has never been discounted by the club even though there was an advantage to letting the media run with that line. PJ and the coaching panel will still review everyone.

I have a small bet on Roos as our next coach and I still have a gut feeling that this will result in a pay.

There seems to be a lot of smokes and mirrors atm.

Hope we don't burn Chocco, Eade and Craig just to satisfy the media, will be disappointed if that's the case.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
