His wallet was probably doping too.

    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.

    i dont think Vlad ought to comment .

    He might have other planes to catch :rolleyes:

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    It seems Melbourne has not moved on from Roos

    personally i think its all been a stunt to shift the spotlight,

    its always been all about Roos for us, no more settling for second best

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
