Why would anyone want to coach a Club with red and black colours when they can go for gold with a red an blue team.

Yes the Norwood job is coming up next year.

Hogan is contracted until the end of 2015.

What is your problem??

I Have no problem at all, I was just highlighting that Gold coast managed to extend Jack Martins contract and we haven't done the same with Hogan.

I just don't see what the problem is with the few that are knocking me for posting it.

Not true... you gave the thread the provocative title of "We could lose Jesse Hogan" and then opened with the line "Its been reported today that Jesse wont agree to a contract extension." which was a complete fabrication. Slight difference.

Probably just demon fans projecting their fears and anxieties DZ. Don't let the DL Greek chorus get to you.

Wouldn't it be great if the MFC was in such good shape that Hoges was desperate to re - sign. Says good things about where GC are at that JM was prepared to. Oh to have hope!

Heard this rumour a few weeks ago - it's plausible
 

If the Roos to Essendon story is true then someone must have injected a dose of enthusiasm for coaching into Roosy.

Dank?

Heard this rumour a few weeks ago - it's plausible

Certainly plausible but not probable. I wouldn't think the Essendon job would look all that attractive at the moment; you wouldn't even know if they were playing for points next year or not. I know that outcome is extreme and unlikely, but my point is that you would have no idea what you were signing up for at Essendon, and Roos doesn't strike me as the sort to gamble with his potential coaching career.

Thanks mate, some people are just bad sports and like to eat their own.

if hird gets the arse it will be part of a package of sanctions - the future picture will be clear

Perhaps if you hadn't served yourself up on a platter?

... and Roos doesn't strike me as the sort to gamble with his potential coaching career.

That's a worry because I think Melbourne is a gamble, make or break his legacy. If he turns it around would be looked upon in history as one of the greatest, failure to do so and he'll fall back to a good premiership coach with Sydney but not the best.

Exactly....how can people not see this?

Too think that MFC is more attractive to coach is being ignorant......


I heard a runour that Redleg had been contacted to coach Essendon next season or was that Carrot Top?

Anyway Whisper Jack is a certainty for the PM role in Canberra at the next election.

Demonlanders will be taking over control of the UN shortly so the fubding/sponsorship problems at the MFC will be solved forever.

Does anybody have Hird's number, I need to get his pharmacist phone number so I can get some of his special cream as the Drugs I just taken is wearing off!

Oh my last tip is that Melbourne will win the 2014 Premiership!

This place has double standards big time, talk about a boys club!

why are you a girl?

Do we have a Frogs Club as well?

I didn't comment on the attractiveness of the MFC coaching job.

The real question Nasher is when are you going to get an avatar?

As an Primary Admin you should have one.

LOL


I heard a rumour Mark Neeld was a chance for the Essendon job!

I heard a rumour Mark Neeld was a chance for the Essendon job!

wrong

he applied and got knocked back on account of the fact he wanted the players to shorten their handballs to a distance of half a metre.also he wanted them to kick sideways and occasionly strait to the opposition,

the new president of Essendon was uncomfortable with the fact that neeld expected the players could already handpass over half a metre

NEXT

I read Eddie McGuire is touting Roos as being a great replacement for Hird. I don't think he is serious. Just [censored] stirring at this stage but is a posibilty. If Roos is interested he will have to consider the anticipated harsh sanctions and the very deep old boys mentality which will find it difficult to accept a brash stranger replacing their dear one.

 

why are you a girl?

Nahh mate just not in in the clique group some of you seem to be in.

I heard a rumour Mark Neeld was a chance for the Essendon job!

would give him a reference.

As I really love the guy.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
