Now, I would like to make this point very clear.

The 'ONLY' person in this neck of the woods allowed to 'have the last laugh' is our very own "Prince Lumumba"!!!

Thank you for your time...

Carry on.

Oh and welcome Macca.

My Bulldog-supporting mates tell me that McCartney did amazing things with their young kids and that the junior brigade at the club loved him. iven how well their young midfield is working these days I think he's an amazing pick up for us and with a bit of luck in a few years we'll see the results in our own young mids.

I am assuming him starting in Feb is partly due to the fact that the guy would need a break to deal with the fact that he was fired and now works somewhere else.

That, and he gotta spend his firing monies!!

The delay might also be a condition of his payout. It would be most surprising if the Bulldogs were to let him go and join another club before all the drafting and trading period is done. I realise that February is quite some time after, but if I were the Bulldogs, I'd like to keep him out of the system for a while.

Neeld was sacked in June 2014 (this isn't a post to bash Neeld). You'd be right to describe the dees as a basket case.

By October 2015, Melbourne would have to rank in the top half of the league in regards to stability.

It's quite some achievement by PJ, first on board, and Roosy.

There's a real plan and the adults are in charge.

Other than your years being a bit out, it is a good time for the club. Hopefully this stability and adults in charge equates to team success!

Kurt was spot on.

Good i was hoping he was on the money.

Well done mate

Making GNF look like a rank amateur. Well done Kurt, but if you do get some inside info in future just make sure releasing the info doesn't hurt the club.

Very good appointment. As Colin said, we've got experience and proven people now coaching our team, a far cry from the Mark Neeld days. Good luck Brendan and I'll now go away and try and learn to spell your name correctly..............

Haha.. played a few games for them

Was Carl Ditterich getting around at that time as coach?

No just after that, Ditterich was still involved.

Had a few mates at the club including the coach.

Sean Charles was there though...interesting fellow.

I ran a team building workshop for Geelong's Admin staff in about 2005 - Brendan joined in - was a great bloke and loved learning. Glad we got him.

Have been hoping all weekend that Kurt's info was correct. Was thrilled to log in a few minutes ago to discover he was, indeed correct!

Excellent get for the Club.

Starting to look forward to next Season. (As I have every year since 1964...! LOL)

Go Dees!

What a sad individual.

You still have said how many games you have watched McCartin play.

You can have a go at McCartin but I can't have a go at McCartney pot\kettle I say.

"I will have the last laugh when he fails"??

Sounds a bit like our new Prince. :D

maybe so...but laughing when someone fails at our club...you gotta wonder why support the club in the first place...

I'll be laughing at the haters that doubt me not the club.

almost 10 30 and no announcement

We have been lied to

Worth an apology, HH?

Pretty amazing when you consider it wasn't that much longer than a year ago we as a club were so far in the poo it wasn't funny.

We've now assembled Roos as head Coach, mentor to his successor , and acknowledged hanger-er-on-erer sts after. . We have the probable successor, Goodwin, a respected coach in his own right and also , not unknown to him , an able assistant and widely regarded guru of development in Macca.

We're often told you need your off-field right before anything of substance happens on field. Well i think we are well on our way. Christ i wish we could nail Jacko to his seat..alas ...

We've been castigated ( and more than likely rightly so ) for our ineptitude in picking the right ones and then being able to develop them after.

I don't recall a time when I've felt so confident we will start getting it all right.

I've been like many others in the past and wrung hands when considering who we'l get at the draft and trade. I'm not concerned at all presently. I think who ever we get will add to the equation. Not all ever work out as hoped bu the failures will be the lesser number in future I suspect , not the successes as in the past.

Welcome aboard Macca ....weave that magic of yours !!! :)

Well, at least we'll know that if they don't turn into good players, it was Taylor's fault. :P

Dont forget Glen.

No, let's forget Glen. Or at least, gag him - they may already have done this. Anyway, I don't want to hear any more interviews, Glen. Just keep the board stable.

Good effort. Continue grinding your axe against a poster who seems to have got under your skin and patronise another. A rare skill

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
