    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.

    He's pretty obvious. Was entertaining for a short while anyway

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
