Brent Moloney burns another coach.

Now that's what I call KARMA!!!

Yeah, gotta feel for Beamer.

He's out for the rest of the year with an injury so he's going to miss out on having the pleasure of playing under a caretaker coach again.

Wow Moloney saw a coached sacked in his first season. Hope brisbane dont get a coach that will be to hard on him and put some defensive pressure on. he may want to leave.

I thought Brisbane would do the decent thing and wait until the 3 games are over. But maybe they are into roos and need to get an offer going.

The thing is though brisbane dont need to go down our path and get an experienced coach. They could get an experienced untried coach if that makes sense.

Certainly Not.

Why?

3 time premiership captain.

Would know a thing or two.

I reckon we have a better list than the lions, we are offering much more money, lifestyle would be the only reason for him to choose them over us

I thought for a long time Roos was holding out for a club in a better state like Brisbane but thought Voss had saved his bacon with that game against Geelong.

On another note another same club player/coach gone. Primus last year, Voss this year and possibly Hird?

Me too PJ

I have always thought he was keeping quiet on the basis of seeing what was available before give us a definite NO.

Nah, we don't have rich, rockliff and redden?

We have Frawley, Mcdonald, Garland, Hogan, Viney and Nathan Jones instead, they have no key forwards, no key backs, we have a weak midfield that can be improved in one good trade/free agency period

See, I don't understand this part, how can we fix this in one draft period? If possible please lend your services to the club on this matter. How does one acquire the ilk of rich, redden and rockliff in one trade period?

Even so, have we had anyone in the club with a 'Voss like resume'? Maybe that's the problem?

So far we have been trying for 6 years and are worse than before we started.

Can you advise how Df?

you trade, we get a PP of 1&2 which at this point is fairly likely, i am certain clubs will offer at least 1 quality mid for pick 1, The lions in fact would consider offering those players for the key forward they desperately need,

fairly confident the crows will have a good think about Sloane for pick 2 who is as good or better than any of those mids,

and the natural improvement of guys like Viney, he's already averaging over 20 touches a game,

only real difference is we have someone to kick too.

Phew! I look forward to that happening then! Cheers.

Young, proven footy brain, 5 years senior coach experience, will still have the fire, point to prove, his win loss ratio is far better than Melbourne's over the last 5 years. Also have heard that 2nd time around coaches have a pretty good record.

Not saying definite, but should be considered.

Thought that was obvious but yes of course since Barassi.

Yes but not of coaching.

His results at Brisbane have been poor.

His dumb decision to pay a bomb for Fevola was a disaster and split the Club and hurt the player culture resulting in a number of key players leaving.

A lesser favourite son would have been sacked for that almighty balls up

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
