    Ohhh that's right you were there and you know it didn't happen or something similar.

    Hi and pot somebody else Mooney please.You are not the voice or reason even though you really try hard

     

    You claimed something specific happened between two FD staff. You made the claim, not me.

    Prove it or shut up.

    Just another grenade thrower on Demonland who panics when called out.

    I'm more excited by Burgess coming on board but at least Richardson is experienced, although he is largely a replacement for McCartney.

    Chaplin, Rooke, Mathews, Plapp, Egan...and Goodwin... have little experience or had little when they joined.

    And with Rawlings spending most of the year at Casey - we didn't have much 'pedigree' guiding the players.

    I reckon Chaplin and Rawlings are safe. Chaplin because the club got him doing media around the time the mid season changes were implemented. Not sure re Plapp. 

    I'd expect Richardson to head up development and Rooke and Egan would probably go in favour of people Richardson has worked with. 

    Also interesting that Mahoney hasn't done any media since late July, however that might be because he's busy reshaping the Footy Department and Perty has helped with some of the external communication. 

    In all, despite the horror of 2018 I feel the club has a good handle on what is needed and seem to be working as a team and making the righ moves. Hopefully it catches on to the pkaying group ?.

    I just think what kind of life would someone have to keep being such a bell end.

    Mail is Roughead will be on board next year as goal kicking coach as bare minimum.

    Whether he has more of a role will depend on other options such as media etc.

    Calling myself out on this “mail”.

    Just gave the mail deliverer who is normally rock solid mind you, an absolute barrage.

    My apologies...

    No aplology needed. Your second sentence perfectly exonerated the first.

    At the Saints he has about 4 roles (list management, leadership developing, match day and kp mentor) which may have been more than we or GCS offered.

    Yep.  An absolute [censored]!!  Who, in their right mind, would give up the role of MFC Runner to Coach an opposition side?!!  (And, to several Premierships to boot!!)

    I am struggling with the. "quite uncritically just throw rocks bit. What do you mean by quite uncritically throw rocks?  Assuming you mean criticize the club and employees of the club. Are you saying a Club, made up of members and supporters are not allowed to criticize a failed organisation and one that has been a failure for 55 years. 

    I don not seek or need your respect, could not care less. You rarely indulge in footy discussion anyway. Always counter sniping. You are on ignore

    Please put me on ignore too.

    I remember him newrly being killed by Vossy at the Gabba. One of my fav hits of all time, not that that is condoned in the current climate.

    I sat 4 or 5 rows from that. Could not see it as the benches were in the way, but the noise. I can still hear it now.

    Mahoney was all too keen to say we pinched Richardson before he was snapped up by other Clubs. Alluding to us as a destination club. And yet we have Roughead whos best friend has just spent three years at the club not wanting a bar of us. Any comment Mahoney?

    And you know this how. I take it that from your comment that Roughead spoke to you and told you himself he wanted nothing to do with the mfc.

    Plus he wanted to be involved in list management, not coaching, which we weren't offering...

    So you would take Todd Viney over Jarrod Roughead for list management. One , young, keen, recently out of the game great character who has overcome adversity, four time premiership winner against, as some here said, a fence leaner. Says it all.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
