WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRENDAN McCARTNEY

Featured Replies

AND, he wrote "must of".

Thanks for pointing that out.

 

you would think we were hiring him as CEO or Coach the way a few posters are complaining

Since the events of recent memory nobody gets appointed to fulfill any task as the MFC (and that includes match day door person and boot studder) without full approval of the rank and file of Demonland. Please remember that.

Is it actually happening. Was it in todays media?

Haven't heard a whisper...

I was told Monday it will be announced. I would bet money against anyone else who says he won't be the at the Dees in some capacity.


Surely a life ban for the poster if this does not eventuate. If it does then I'll buy you a drink

I said it a bit earlier but basically my mum is friends with his wife and him. She knows nothing about footy and I tried to relay as much as i can remember her saying in the first post. She wouldn't lie to me, and I basically pried it out of her cos she didn't know the significance, and no one could lie like that with those details, and especially not her.
It was all said to her during a night together out either friday or thursday.
Nothing really more I can add. I was so excited I posted straight away.
I'll never get another scoop, well maybe off Brendan hopefully ;) So of course i'm a tad happy i actually got one. And stoked he is coming!
I'm telling you exactly what I was told and it's all good :)

Hey don't reveal your sources. Just sit back and enjoy your glory if/when you are right!

Same rules for Grand New Flag?

WERRIDEE equals troll.

Because I don't blindly fall in love with every appointment Melbourne make?

I rate his possible appointment up there with the 2 year deal to Barry and the 1 year deal to Terlich.

He will give us what Craig gave us NOTHING. If we are fortunate maybe he will bring over a spud like Sellar.

He done nothing at Richmond, Essendon and the Bulldogs but got lucky at Geelong.

To all the other haters I remember getting abused by Demonland for my views on Prendergast when he was at the club, funnily enough no one is defending him now. So keep the hate up as I will have the last laugh when he fails.

You are a troll and this proves it.

Mcartney has never set foot at richmond. Do your reserch before looking like an A grade half wit.

Prove that you said that about BP?

Not quite true DD.

In 1998, he took a role with Richmond as assistant and development coach

He spent 10 years with Geelong rebuilding the Geelong footy club along with Mark Thompson and turn guy like GAJ Bartel Ling Scarlett Selwood into star because of his development. Mark thompson is a massive wrap for him.

James hird rated him as the best coach he has ever had.

Just find it funny how WD can say his coaching record has been a fail when his record as an assistant is right up there with the best.

I will cop my wack on the chin for obviously not knowing about the mini stint at richmond. But to write off a bloke more noted for his success assistant coaching is a complete joke.

If i had any more news I would of said it already trust me Iol

The anti riddler.

Good work btw, though I suspect macca might make your mum promise not to divulge anything to you he might tell her about the dees

1998-99.

Who's the half wit? Who doesn't do their research?

Look it up yourself. BP's not the only one I got right I got Sylvia, Cook, Bailey and Mark Williams just to name a few. My user name was LITTLE STINGA, bjgc could of been my username for my Bailey comments.

I think where you are wrong is that you don't have the right expectations or understanding of what creates a successful football club. You've highlighted in there with all your examples. I don't necessarily agree with those contract extensions but when weighed up with where our list was at and how many picks we will take to the draft they make sense.

You say Craig gave us nothing. What he actually did was give us a steadying presence by taking over for half a year, he also helped develop quite a few players and gave us some respectability when Neeld was running the place in to the ground. Craig had delisted Sellar at Adelaide, had barely played him. The recruiters wanted him and Craig only backed Sellar's character. Considering it was our last pick in a horribly compromised draft it wasn't much of a loss. Sellar gave us more than Tynan and Taggert that's for sure. Tall depth spuds like Tommy Walsh and Spangher were on Sydney's list when they won a flag.

He was at Essendon for a year and players raved about him. Crameri quit Essendon to play for him. Mooney and Scarlett signed on in a flash to work for him then quit the day after he did. He's made Libba, Macrae, Stringer and Bontempelli look like future stars of the comp in their early years.

I'm not going to claim we've signed some super savior. Not even Roos is that. But if we've signed McCartney for a development or assistants role where he can develop players then we will have done very well.

You say he got lucky at Geelong. I'll say Geelong put the right people in the right jobs and that's why they got lucky as a club. Kenny Hinkley is obviously a great coach at working with attacking players and getting hard work and hard football out of them. It's why he was the perfect assistant for Geelong especially with their forwards. McCartney knows how to bring youngsters along developing them in to complete footballers so that's the job you get him for.

He spent 10 years with Geelong rebuilding the Geelong footy club along with Mark Thompson and turn guy like GAJ Bartel Ling Scarlett Selwood into star because of his development. Mark thompson is a massive wrap for him.

James hird rated him as the best coach he has ever had.

Prove that Hird said it. Anyone could of turned those players into stars, Selwood was a star in his 1st game.

You make it sound like McCartney was the senior coach and Thompson was the assistant.

Keep on coming haters I love it.

I think he will again be a good assistant coach and he does have the runs on the board whether other posters chose to believe or not but I don't think I would be quoting the word of Hird as gospel on anything 'dazzle'.

By the way I think Neeld will be a good appointment as an assistant somewhere also, he has been good in this role.

Prove that Hird said it. .

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.''

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
