"this joint" . . . as in the MFC?

Nowhere near as bad as Linton Street I would have thought. 

That's a debatable subject.

    Poisoned chalice this joint.

    Like the nose beer, rapey thing they've got happening in Seaford/Moorabin is good for his career.

    Ex Melbourne footballers who want a viable successful career in football after they retire go elsewhere like to Hawthorn. Ex other club footballers who want a viable career in football also go elsewhere. Unless there is an overs pot of gold on offer to offset what would likely be a truncated career.

    Nothing stopping you from going somewhere else

    I never said he should go to the saints.
    It's a strange decision.
    Both clubs are basket cases.

    I would have thought 12 flags and 12 wooden spoons compares favourable against 1 flag and 27 wooden spoons.

    They've won a flag more recently than MFC. And played in GFs more recently than us ... came very close to winning one too. Unlike MFC's 2 grand final debacles.

    Pfft .... Ancient history those flags.
    I'd argue they don't count since we went from VFL to AFL.

    So whats the latest with Roughy, have Goody, Lewey, Toddy and Mahoney met with him and made an offer? 

    Some muppet on the interweb suggested he might go to the Saints. Last time I checked you don't need 4 x premierships to light dwarfs on fire, bed underage school girls and lose a Grand Final in October.

    Roughy is champ - no doubt about

    He’s also been through some tough personal [censored]. So apart from knowing a bit about footy he also knows a bit about resilience 

    Bonus.  He seems to be a decent bloke

    Yep.  I’d have him as a forward line coach in a flash!

    Yep from me too as above.

    Saw a VFL game where he gave some coaching to one of his opponents which seemed to

     improve their performance. This was mentioned by commentators.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
