    Did you expect him to say something to the contrary??

    If he did have any knowledge of this he probably would not have commented otherwise he would look a bit silly if he resigns 12 hours later but then look at Neeld....

    Riccuito is not one to make outlandish statements. He was the first to break the news regarding Tippetts brown bag payment. SEN were talking about Goodwin being a mate and Bomber Assistant Coach. Although it was speculation regarding Goodwin being Riccuito's inside info.

    The last days of The Hird Reich?

    CLASSIC...... I thought it was supposed to last a thousand years?

    If only he had a few more years he could have created his master race of Peptidians.

    There will be many of these rumours.

    Hird will be attacked here and usunder. He has ruffled feathers that normally are NEVER ruffled !!! how dare he the yound whiper-snapper.

    This is a game....Stakes are big.

    Its brinkmanship

    fun fun fun

    Sky News taking on the story. They say its not confirmed, but not normal for them to run a story (as the headline sports story) unless they are fairly certain it is true.

    Until we wait for confirmation on this one one way or other, I have a hypothetical.

    If he forced to stand down on Thursday,does this mean he does the team selection on Wednesday night?

    I have a few Dream team issues to sort out. thx in advance :)

    Oh dear a rumour thread.... I hope BBO and Biffen shoot it down seeing they're the rumour police these days. Hate to think people only shoot down posts made by people they don't get along with....

    Stu my old mate. You just don't get it do you? As I said last night, ask the mods why the Sylvia thread was shut down. I think that would be in your best interests to avoid future embarrassment.

    I'll leave it up to you two intellectual heavyweights to decide which rumours you want to report to mods...

    Stuie, there is a massive difference to talking about what the media is currently discussing, therefore continuing the discussion here on DL. The Sylvia discussion was about one or two ppl seeing Sylvia at Crown one early morning. Massive difference IMO!

    Try not to pick a fight where there is none Stuie. BTW, you're a good dancer. Not sure about the suit.

    Stuie there are rumours, then there are rumours. I hope you can understand this.

    True. One was told to me by an extremely trustworthy friend, the other has been relayed by a footy player who works in the media and no one here knows personally....

    Right on the money as usual Stu. I can't help but notice the media storm over Sylvia and apparently Melbourne have suspended him for the rest of the season.

    Yep great source!!!!

    I didn't start THAT thread. I made it known I didn't expect or want any action. I mentioned it as an example of how nothing has changed at our club.

    Oh, and the Essendon hating, Hird hunting, rumour loving Caroline Wilson just shot down the rumour in this thread... Try not to cry into both sides of the pillow.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
