that's a bummer.

 

i wonder why.

Either doesn't get on with Goodwin or got a better offer. Maybe Tigers.

    Weird.

    Peter Ryan's article suggests that he is looking elsewhere for opportunities whereas the MFC article simply says that Brett's 'contract will not be renewed'.

    The latter indicating that we may have someone in mind to take up that role?

    Or perhaps a mutual departure from both parties.

    Funny how two articles can be interpreted so differently depending on a few words.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was purely a cost saving decision by the club.

    The development program is in place, Macca is running it (who came into the role after Allisons employment) and the club probably feels we have adequate resources to carry out the program moving forward. 

    Maybe let's not look for a conspiracy for a change.

    Change of head coach meant there was always going to be changes to the coaching team.

    No surprise, no drama, that's footy.

    If true, I say thanks for your time with us Brett. I think our coaching team has done a great job, so by extension you must have done a great job also.

    Be proud of your time here, and best of luck with your next role, whatever that is.

    Joking, even though they are from Canberra I believe. 

    I was throwing it in, in line with someone else who may want to go home.

    They will only help to 'enhance' the performance of the club as a whole?

    Thought they might have moved, I used to work with his parents a while back in Melbourne.

    Terrific people...

    It says on the club website that the development team has been restructured and Allison wasn't offered a new contract, would seem a bit strange if we then hired Egan in a development role?

    Why, they may think Egan is better.

    Yes I understand that, and most posters want MFC to be more ruthless, but that is pushing the envelope and not a good look, although assistants move all the time, discussions I have had has Egan/Allison on same level as development coaches, Roos cherrypicked Allison for this very reason

    Obviously that has changed.

    Can you explain how you can measure one against the other?

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
