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.

It was Todd Viney's relationship with Lewis that allowed us to bring him across.

Mate, St Kilda haven't appointed him their head of list management. Are you serious? Sure, he's a great player, but there's more than just playing the game involved in list management. You have to understand contracts, negotiations, scout info. If you think Melbourne should appoint a first year manager as the head, purely based on his playing credentials, than you want to see Melbourne go further down the hole. Seriously, I can't think of a more stupid decision to make.

Welcome Alan Richardson as a mentor and assistant coaching...great to see we are bringing in the "best of the best"

This guy has a coaching track record that's poor and was given every chance at the saints being at the helm for 6 years! 

 

Great stuff dee's!

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?

No, because Mahoney is hopeless. So is Richardson. So are all the people we are chasing as coaches, and all the people we are chasing as players. Our current coaching panel is hopeless. So is our playing list. Our management is hopeless, as is the board, as are our sponsors. Anyone who buys anything from our sponsors are hopeless. Our members are all hopeless. All our supporters are hopeless. Anyone who's ever attended an MFC match is hopeless.

Let's see now ... the media who report on us are hopeless, and their TV shows, radio shows, and publications are by extension all hopeless. The organisations that own them are hopeless. The corporate/financial structure that enables this ownership is hopeless, and anyone or anything that opposes that structure is also hopeless. Anyone who comes into contact with any of the above bodies or individuals becomes automatically hopeless.

It's all hopeless. The future is hopeless. The trains stopping at Jolimont Station are hopeless. The trams on Wellington Parade and Swan St are hopeless. Sport in general is hopeless. Life in Victoria is hopeless. All because of the MFC! I hope you're happy, MFC.  You've got a lot to answer for.

He didn't work as a head coach, sure. He had an average list with injury prone key players for most of his tenure. But he's a good pickup as an assistant coach. Puts a huge emphasis on fitness (a glaring issue at the club) and seemed to have our number fairly often, out strategizing us at times knowing we don't have the outside run that his team did. He exposed us and I for one am looking forward to him working out where we are beaten as a club and sealing those cracks.

He's actually got a great record as an assistant coach and is incredibly highly rated which is why the moment he had more offers than he knew what to do with. 

some people just aren't meant to be senior coaches, but we're extremely lucky to have someone with his football brain and experience at the club, and i have more confidence knowing he's there.

Roughead was a great player, now he moves into another field where he starts as an absolute novice with no guarantees he will be any good at it.

What we don't need at the moment are any more apprentices, we need experienced heads.

...and that's what we've been doing. Getting some good experience, getting people with good track records on board.

If we get Yze then that's another good experienced head added to the mix.

He or his like will be far more valuable to us than Roughead at this time.

I’m looking forward to working across the football program and with a really talented young group of players, and contributing where I can to their development,” Roughead said.

You people have no vision. plodders and bootlickers united in defence of Club decisions. meanwhile we await the announcement of what Richardson new job is to be.

"New recruit spouts generic line about new club" = I know better than the club, see, look what he's said about St Kilda! Bah! I should be the one making the decisions! The people inside the club have no idea! And anyone who disagrees with me is an apologist who has no grasp on football!

Yeah, stuff Richardson.

I would have preferred Clarko or Simpson in his role because, you know, they would be totally interested in that sort of gig instead of full time coaching.

But at least he said "I think" rather than just assuming that anything the club does must ipso facto be wrong like you seem to do. 

And what is wrong with him not knowing '10 days in'?  That's just a mindless putdown.   If the Club revealed all their plans you'd complain that they aren't professional.    You are so negative that anything but disapproval of everything the club does allows you to label other posters as plodders or bootlickers.  Insulting people doesn't improve your arguments.  You will convince people of your views more if you are politer.

No, I am not doing this in school time.
