    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
