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

    What a true supporter. Surely if he fails you should just sob.

    In all fairness Sue, Machsy was quoting Werridee.

    BTW well done Kurt....

    That's strange... the article at the end of the link seems to overlook his stint at Richmond. Perhaps Werridee can bring us all up to speed with that as well as the reason he didn't get the Essendon team up and absolutely flying in the single season he spent with them?

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

    I can tell you now this source is quoted from Brendan McCartney himself.

    He is going to the Dees on Monday. He wrote his own contract. He is VERY happy and sounds like he may even be our next senior coach in waiting. His role won't be much next year.

    He rejected Essendon senior gig because of the scandal.

    He built a bonfire with all his doggies stuff, had a party and burnt it cos he was treated like crap there.

    Probably the only scoop I'll ever have so passing it on to fellow Demonlanders :)

    Nice scoop, Kurt.

    C'mon people, as i have said before..opinions are like a*holes, everyone has one. It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree, everyone is entitled to it. Obviously leads to discussion as this site wouldn't exist without it!

    Well done Kurt also

    Opinions are one thing, but they should at least be backed up with a modicum of substance.

    And yes, well done Kurt!

    Working for me.. Strange.

    Found this interesting:

    "McCartney will start with the club in February 2015."

    Actually, I find that odd really. Pre-season is where a lot of 'development' takes place. Oh well, they'll know what they're doing.

    Fantastic appointment!

    Well done MFC and Welcome Brendan!

    Perhaps he has some other personal committments? And on that link, it works for me if I go to the Home page of the MFC site and select the link there... but for some reason clicking on the link above just doesn't work, even though it appears to be exactly the same.

    You'd think so.

    And I have no idea about that link then... :wacko:

    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 :)

    Well done Kurt, enjoy those who doubted eating some humble pie.

    And well done to MFC, we're building a very good footy department.

    From zero to h_h to lol in 15 minutes!

    That is a new record for Demonland.

    Well done to Scythe, but also to h_h for his general obliviousness and impatience.

    Oh, and welcome to McCartney - may he wear sunscreen on his nose now and into the future.

    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 !!! :)

    Anyone who thinks McCarthy will end up coaching the dees after what just down at the dogs, has rocks in their head. My mate who is a dogs supporter had little time for him, can't coach., preaches the same [censored] neeld did just had more mates from geelong to back him up.. Never player the game has sans credit in the bank!

    So.. I'm currently emptying the rocks out of my head..

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
