Did anyone else witness the Maclure & King segment of AFL 360 last night? It was hilarious!

They got on to the subject of who should coach the MFC next year, and raised the idea of appointing a senior coach, along with one or two junior coaches who could be mentored for a couple of years before one of the junior coaches took over.

Mark Robinson pushed Maclure for suggested names of people who could slot into that scenario. When Maclure couldn't come up with any names, Robinson chimed in with the comment that maybe Maclure & King should take the gig. He went on to say they would be "Dumb" & "Dumber"...! It was hilarious, as both Maclure and King got rather hot under the collar about that.

Robinson quickly blurted out that he didn't mean that King was "Dumber", rather that Maclure was "Dumb & Dumber"...! Maclure got even shirtier about that, and it wasn't long before the segment was brought to a hasty close.

It was great entertainment!

Those may be the truest words Robinson has spoken in some time.

You mean Maclure.

I also thought it was very embarrassing for us, when they all agreed who would want to coach Melbourne.

They even put up stats about Cameron and his goals in his first 32 games and listed a lot of former players and their goals in the same amount of games, yet left out the record holder Allen Jakovich, who kicked 150 goals in his first 34 games compared to 79 by Cameron in 32 games.

I can't wait for this club to be successful so I can stick it to several people.

I didn't see it but isn't it usually Mark Maclure on with David King on a Wednesday?

Not that I think much of the two of them but at least King is trying with his analysis, Maclure spurts nothing but crud.

As for whether we should go for a coach and a designated chief assistant to take over the role I'm not sure we should be the obvious. It just ends up biting you in the back in regards to when the assistant takes over like Buckley and Malthouse.

I do however, feel we need to improve the quality of our assistant coaches as well as our senior coach. So I'd like to see something like Roos appointed and Adam Simpson comes over from Hawthorn on no guarantee of the senior job but can be mentored by a different senior coach to increase his own job prospects. If it works out like a Roos-Longmire hand over then that would be great.

Of course he has...he's a Melbourne supporter.

I am way more stupid than patient LDC

Any sane person would have moved on from the MFC long before half a century of crap took place.

Yes, I think there's a PhD out there for someone who can explain why otherwise sane people (including even you, Old Dee) put up with this rubbish for so long.

For me it was either the MFC or the Hare Krishnas.

Maclure makes a decent clown, but he's just about the furthest thing from an expert you could find. No research and no understanding of the issues. Just says the first thing that comes into his head without any forethought.

Transcript below (minus the bit about "dumb and dumber" which came directly after):

Maclure: Why Rocket? Why Rocket? Does Rocket become the be all and end all of the coaching thing? Is it..does it..he wants to coach? Why does he want to coach? Does he want more money? Is it about money? Cause if it's about money he shouldn't do it.

Gerard: No, Rocket's driven to coach. And if the field is three..

Maclure: Does he want to pay more? Does he want to get more pay than he's getting now? Because they haven't got any money.

Gerard: Well they've got as much money as the AFL has got. They've got an open chequebook to sign whatever they want to sign.

Robbo: Why not Rocket?

Maclure: But why Rocket?

(Maclure and Robbo start talking over one another for a while)

Maclure: if he wants to do it for money, he shouldn't do it.

Robbo: You're only assuming he wants to do it for money.

Maclure: Well okay, let's offer him a contract that's low. See how much he wants to do it.

(silence, possibly just letting the stupidity sink in..)

Robbo: Do you think that there's a shortage of senior coaches going around?

Maclure: You think there's a shortage of senior coaches.

Robbo: I'm asking you.

Maclure: Don't get angry at me.

Robbo: Don't throw everything back at me when I'm asking you a question!

(some joking around about Robbo thinking he is Mike Sheahan)

Gerard: Who do you think it should be?

Maclure: I don't think we should look at the obvious, sometimes I think we should look at the not so obvious around the place.

Robbo: Well give us a name.

Maclure: I haven't got one in my back pocket.

Robbo: Well don't make statements about non-obvious people when you haven't got any!

Maclure: Oh, you getting upset darling?

Yep I just don't understand why they have Maclure on. They have David Parkin do league teams where he pretty much reads out the teams and comments on some players returning or getting dropped which is very basic analysis yet they hire Maclure who offers very little. Robbo should've asked him why he comes on AFL 360? Is that just for the money?

He should've got more heat for comparing Jobe and Lance Armstrong, that was a monumentally stupid thing to say.

Yeah that was a prime example of how his brain works. I think he fancies himself as the Kyle Sandilands of the AFL.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
