Met Brendan at the races yesterday and spoke to him about the Dees. I think he will prove to be one of our best recruits behind PJ and Roos. He is a nice guy, who was quite prepared to give of his t

I have spoken to former players, as have many others on Demonland no doubt and the one thing they all agree on is, without good admin,coaching and development, you can't have sustained success. We ar

To be fair, he offered his opinion when asked for it by Redleg. I don't see these comments as concerning himself with club politics.

The bombers are playing around with macca, just like they did with mark Williams when they hired James, the chemist has the job it's all a smoke screen, they want it to look like they are doing a thorough job.

Both the Dees and EFC had horrendous seasons during his 4 years as a Mentor/Director.

Not saying he was at fault but it is clear he wasn't able to affect the performance of the coaching groups.

Not sure how or why Carlton expect a different result.

Good luck to them...may they spend many more years anchored at the bottom end of the ladder.

It may be karma's way of punishing them for 'not tanking' and not 'bringing the game into disrepute'.

On topic...can't wait for Worsfold to be appointed so we are certain to have Macca for at least another year.

If the EFC were smart they wouldn't go near Worsfold. The perception of the football community to the tainted flag which has been raised again by Daniel Chick is something they can't afford.

However, they have been shown to be not to smart.

If we are smart, we will be working on plan B just in case the EFC wake up to themselves.

Reminds me of the Neeld appointment at Melbourne, with the same Elder Statesman and a rag-tag of inexperienced apprentices. Hope there's a similar result as what we endured.

Neeld took over a club that had virtually no AFL standard players, a hapless board that offered no support and whom all resigned one way or the other, a poor administration and senior football department officials, and an ever dwindling support base.

Brendan Bolton is the antithesis of Neeld.

I don't think he will fail quite as hard, I don't think Carlton is ready for a Bolton-type of coach though.

His enthusiasm will struggle to cut through the arrogance and hubris.

It's a delicious thought none the less. One to savour....the continuing calamitous convulsion that is Carlton ^_^

I wonder if todays HS article may change the Worsfold outlook at the Bombers?

I would doubt it personally . The footyworld knows !!

Neil Craig was a good coach at the crows, he is not the reason for neelds failure, a mentor can only do so much, thee coach still is the one in charge, neeld came from the school of malthouse, all his assistances have failed, all of clarko assistances are going well, some coach make good future coachs and some make cap ones.

would have to make them have a second think

especially if afl integrity inquiry drags on and woosha's name gets thrown about as chick said management were involve/to blame

of course afl will stage manage it and essendon likely to be too arrogant anyway

personally i think it would be a very "good" marriage for all concerned

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
