he is not a line coach - ie primarily responsible for the fwds/mids/defs so the reporter is full of BS

I was of the understanding McCartney has been in the coaches box so far this season as he has been assisting Chaplin with backline coaching duties.

I also had this belief. But I find it hard to think a Melbourne supporter who does our weekly podcast would be unaware of this.

Perhaps he knows more than us given the contacts he would have within the club.

I'm sure he will read this, so I look forward to hearing him addressing the criticism like he did on the previous podcast.

Saty, I know you think you know it all. 

But this was reported by a Melbourne supporter who does the offical podcast weekly. It was also said with Paul Roos ,who would have knowledge of each persons role within the football department, sitting next to him.

If he says he was in the box the last 4 weeks, I know who I am believing.

Check the vision, he is aiways down on the bench, Roos was at the club 2 years ago, the whole set up has changed in that time, why woukd Macca who likes to be close to the action move into the bax, beggars belief.

Thre reason the journo does the podcast is to provide an independent voice so the said same nuff nuffs don't whinge about it being a puff piece

He has already produced a piece that Angus Brayshaw found not only insulting but comical

I would love for you to show me some vision or direct me to it, of McCartney on the bench in the opening 4 rounds.

Essentially you are saying he has made up this story.

The Brayshaw piece, while a buch of fluff essentially just said Fremantle would be interested in Brayshaw. I don't see how Brayshaw would find that insulting. If you interpreted it differently, that is on you and Angus, not him.

McCartney is resposible for both player and coach development

Hard to develop coaches if he is kicked out of the box by those he is trying to develop....

Anyone thought that maybe they were trying him back in the Coaches Box, but given what happened last week, they’ve moved him back down to the bench where he can get closer to the players?

To be fair, Roos answered the question put to him and stated that it would be unusual for a "line" coach to be on the bench, but that he didn't know what role Macca was playing.

I would suggest that McCartney on rhe bench mwans we can sub him into the game for James Harmes.  Also why Viney will be on bench. This I know. 

Viney is actually gonna be in the Stat box apparently.

Does anyone have a link to any replays?  Now I wanna see if B Mac has already been sitting on the bench.

Is it fake news, is the sky falling or neither?

Not 100% sure but is that McCartney between Chaplin and Mahoney?

Morris also wrote that rubbish piece recently about Freo “chasing” Hoges and Brayshaw... he also wrote the piece about Goody offering his resignation after campgate and then “slept in” when Goody was on the Dees podcast the week after. 

He seems like a typical journo..

Was vaguely concerned after reading the general thrust of this thread. Not so now.  Thanks for sharing Cards. While there may be a kernel of truth somewhere in the story, it's a shame modern journos feel the need to sensationalise - whether it be internal media pressure, pandering to a mindless audience, or plain simple ego to break something big. I'll be taking a grain of salt with that kernel. And if there are a few minor internal problems, it's clear then that the club is moving to address them. A modern workplace.

He developed a group of Premiership players that Beveridge was the beneficiary of!

Morris just doesn’t have the runs on the board for mine so massive grain of salt.

If you listen to the MFC podcast (actually a good listen as they do ask the hard questions) Morris mentions he was taken to task over the Freo “story”, that was one of my mates at work who really questions how Morris is going about things. 

PJ was on the last one (what a man!) and was really annoyed by a question about is Goody a good coach. 

I would not be surprised if Morris is no longer on the podcast come seasons end, or earlier even though I’m glad the club is not sanitising said podcast.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
