Shhh if I get a big story maybe i'll get cash from him next time now he knows I'm legit ;)

Let's keep it in this post and hope he is not reading anymore...

Don't worry, I am sure they NEVERRR read these posts!!!

 

what a delightful thought, clint

By the way my other love is The Phantom. Nice avatar there DC

 

it's still an opinion however much it lacks reason

you (all) missed the point

counter his opinions by all means but abusing him like that is pot kettle black

Right...

So that's his opinion... and mine is that he must be a pretty sad individual.

Where's the confusion?

You getting old DC?

of course i'm getting old machsy.......i have it down to an art-form :wacko:


Not starting until Feb. That's a pain but probably not a huge problem. Agree it's a good idea for McCartney to freshen up.

Thanks for the scoop Kurt! It's great when the inside info comes through!

McCartney is a great pick up by the dees. Comes from a lot of successful clubs and cultures and is held in very high regard by the Geelong boys. We are assembling a very good coaching and development line-up!

Good get

But what will Roos' role be after he steps down as coach??

Former coach.

 

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 probably just dismissed your request, because your posts offer me nothing of worth.

But since you've asked twice... I think 4 or 5 times probably.

I've watched the champs games at Simonds both this year and last, then watched a few falcons games along the way.

Not sure how many he played in, because I wasn't watching specifically for him.

I've liked his aggression, but I'd have expected a lot more from him if we're going to draft him top 3.

Happy?

My user name was LITTLE STINGA, bjgc could of been my username for my Bailey comments.

I will have the last laugh when he fails.

And if he doesn't fail you can just use a different username so no one can track these comments back to you.

Did some Research and found this disgusting vile comment from bjgc back in 2009 on a Jake Spencer thread.

Can the footy gods please break the Russian's football foot. We need Spencer in the side immediately he was awesome yesterday along with Grimes. Wouldn't mind seeing the pathetic Sylvia's OP come back so we can bring in a kid that will actually have a go in Valenti.
Wishing someone an injury is one of the most disgraceful, pathetic, disgusting thing on a football forum let alone on our own players. The ones that have battled it for most of their career.
Again stay classy WD

That's bad. I apologise for that it was a mistake.

I shouldn't have made those getting injured comments no matter how much I get frustrated at their performances

And if he doesn't fail you can just use a different username so no one can track these comments back to you.

Nah just revisit it if we finish as high as 12th like they done regarding Bailey.


How the F did we need Spencer in the side over Jamar in 2009.

It's 2014 and Spencer played a game injured to get through just so we could not rush and then get Jamar back!

I like the Spence. But 2013 was the first time he played well and overall he's played about 5 decent games in his career.

Oh and we didn't need Sylvia getting OP as well. How would we have flogged him to Freo?

All class :wub:

Personally I'd be happy to see both Jamar and Spencer disapear. Like one good game followed by a dozen ho hum games followed by another dozen out injured. Then the cycle repeats.

One did ask me actually... :) I'd rather not say as he was kinda nice.

How did he contact you, PM?


I'm happy for Roos to hire whoever he wants.

But can we get a better reference for McCartney than James Hird?

Simon Goodwin, Bomber Thompson, Neil Balme, Brian Cook, Cam Mooney, Matt Scarlett?

Simon Goodwin, Bomber Thompson, Neil Balme, Brian Cook, Cam Mooney, Matt Scarlett?

Tongue in cheek. I just found it amusing that a few posters went out of their way to debate whether he had Hird's endorsement.

Quote from this article

No wonder James Hird said this of McCartney this year: ''I can't imagine there's a better coach in Australia in the way he develops players and teaches them to play football. I'm surprised someone like that hasn't had a chance at senior level because, in my time in footy, I don't think I've met a better coach.''

I wonder if jimmy had just taken a dose of some "good stuff" when he made that quote?

WERRIDEE who would you prefer to be appointed?

That's a hard one, preferably someone not recycled. Somebody that could be moulded into a Roos proto type. I think it would be hard for anyone who has coached for 16 years to change his philosophies and follow Roos's strict game plan. The Bulldogs, Geelong and Essendon don't play anything like Melbourne.

Would that be so you could [censored] about our amateurish Board appointing someone inexperienced, should it not turn out 100% successful?

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.

So you're the one responsible, then...? ;)

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
