That's not evidence 'binman'...

The story or non story (mischief) was not that he had been moved down to the bench.

That's all a comm could have said and it would have been a waste of space and time.

True or not the story was Macca wasn't happy with the move.

What comm would you suggest they should have put out there?

Perhaps you'r right and it was my confirmation bias at work.

    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..

    Seems like a F#%@wit.

    You said McCartney is never is the box. You changed your story when footage emerged of McCartney in the coaches box. It’s ok to be wrong, I don’t see the big deal. Take the hit and move on. 

    What I said was my understanding was McCartney's Matchday role was on the bench not in the box, so the fact that he was back on the bench was not a cause for immediately donnong the hair shirts

    Yes, keep name calling other members.

    Its really helping deflect from your constantly incorrect statements and the fact you have no clue about the club.

    I find the news comforting to a point even though it speaks to a lack of on field leadership.

    Tweak things, be dynamic, get them right.

    It indicates a willingness to adjust and not stick stubbornly and proudly to something that isn't working.

    His matchday role has been on the bench, they tried something different, it didn't work, so back to his normal role, no grassy knolls in sight for the nuff nuffs to cling to

    The paranoia on display sometimes amuses me, mostly I think it is sheer stupidity

    Good try my littke tacker but no, now back under the duvet

    Dig dig dig.....

    That covers quite a few posters on here, does it not?

    I get called names all the time, from keyboard heroes, water off a ducks back, said it before, if you don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen

    The thread needed straightening up, constantly said on here that jounos are rubbish but they only have to dangle a carrot and of we go 5 or 6 pages of negative paranoia

    It’s not really what you said. Anyway, I didn’t see this being an issue as he’s spent the last two years on the bench. I assumed he was assisting Chaplin for a set amount of time which was now over so he was returning to his previous game day role.

     'We have looked at the game as an opportunity to improve all all aspects of how we go about things, including how we can better communicate key messages to our players when the opposition gets a run on. It is easy to forget how young our list is and we have two key leaders in TMac and Jack out so this week we are going to have Macca, who is definitely in no way disaffected and is really happy about the move and he and Goody get on better than ever and have a fantastic working relationship, you could even say a personal relationship, if you consider that time Macca went round to Goody's house for a BBQ, go back to his role that he played so brilliantly for the last 3 years as a key person communicating directly to players on the bench and conveying messages from the box. Which he is happy about.

    Irrespective of who's who, that's a lot of people in the coach's box. I'm not sure if I was senior coach I'd want that many people all trying to advise me. If, however, half or even two-thirds of them are just there to watch and can keep their mouths shut, I could live with that.

    Way too many people.

    “Being called out on your [censored] is the worst. It can be humiliating, frustrating, and hurtful. When it happens, the natural reaction is often to be dismissive, defensive, or to complain that the other party just "doesn't get it/you/jokes". I say, go with that feeling. Because if lots of people are telling you that you're dead wrong, you definitely don't want to stop and examine why that is.”

    No mate, you didn't straighten it up, you dug yourself a massive hole and was proved utterly wrong. It's just a pity you're not man enough to admit your faults like we've all done here in the past.

    [censored] poor effort by you.

Stop being childish, leave it alone, or do you want everyone to attack everyone of your post.

    The following is what he said, "Yes,  that is his Matchday role, he is never in the box, what a [censored] joke and the usual nuff nuffs on here  run with it".

    Do you think there's a chance this wouldn't have become such an issue if he didn't refer to others, who were actually correct about McCartney being in the box, as "nuff nuffs" ?

    Just maybe ?

    If not, change your username.

    The nuff nuffs was aimed at the usual paramoiac posters who turn everything into the 'sky is falling ', without knowing the full facts

    I sometimes wonder why they call themselves 'supporters' when the only time they seem happy is when they have something to carp and whinge about

    We are all supporters, some more than others, and we have all been thru the last 10 years and longer, but don't feel the need to continually whinge about it

    Yeah sure why not? Why would they attack me but? For being a self centered [censored] like Saty?

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
