I have the same question BBo. The MFC that I know of have not even said one is under way. Everyone is going on an article from Jay Clark. Some extreme speculation on here and I suspect 90% of it has no foundation in fact. But I guess it the finals time and as usual we have nothing but wild speculation. 

"But I guess it the finals time and as usual we have nothing but wild speculation" ...... and ,also as usual, we are not involved!!!

Should have re read that before I pushed go. Engage brain before moving fingers.

 

From the Age....

Two regional Victorians who tried to enter Melbourne to go to a strip club which was not open have been fined by police.

The men were stopped and fined at a checkpoint in the Macedon Ranges, after they entered a “Stage 4 restricted area to ‘attend a strip club’ only to arrive in Melbourne and realise no such premises were open”, a Victoria Police spokesman said.

Yes, but will he listen and take advice from from those around him?

If he doesn't and the team fails to perform he will be gone.


Mahoney was one of our match day coaches during 186

Now he is our GM

He also did our last internal club review himself

And people wonder why we are systematic losers.

Well if they won’t get rid of Goodwin I’m glad they’re at least looking at getting him top quality support. At least then there really won’t be anymore excuses. 

I just hope he LISTENS to them for his sake and OURS.

nothing concrete in that story at all

the general vibe around the trips seems to be mahoney, plapp, and probably matthews go, with richardson moving into mahoney's role

i've not heard anything re chaplin and, quite frankly, our defence was strong this year so i'd be hesitant to shake things up enormously back there

no idea re who they're looking at replacements in the coaching ranks

Would have thought this was obvious with the Forward line and the lack of connection in the mids Resulting  in under Performance from Max's season and our clearance issues. 

We used to employ Brett Ratten and Chris Fagin and they are 2 of the best coaches in the league right now. Maybe that says enough about the future of our Senior Coach


There is still nothing official that I can find that there is a review going on. If such a thing is happening it is most certainly looking like an internal review and we know what happens with those most times. Two weeks ago I wrote to Mr. Pert ( not Pertie!!!) asking if there would be a Members review night this year, via Tracy I received a reply this morning saying there would be one but date unknown.

Still no reply from our Chairman  on the review!

I wait in expectation. Ha ha!!!!!

There is the possibility he is having a few weeks off.

That is possible, but one would assume that a review would be needed to be undertaken ASAP before drafting of players / coaches etc. the longer the time goes by without comment makes me suspicious.

Exactly OLD DEE It appears that there will either be no review or a minor one.

As I have alluded to on here previously Plapp is quietly  looking for a job so some thing is going on

Just saw a tweet saying Mahoney is gone. Just relaying the info, no idea if true or not, but certainly seems to be rumblings. I think its time for a fresh face in that role amongst other roles in the FD.

Would think given the season is still going (not for us of course), exit interviews have just happened, players are being re-signed, coaches are being hired and fired, and of course the review is reportedly close to wrapping up, Pert would be quite busy at the moment.

I don't know a lot about the review underway, but given the comments by Bartlett during the year and the pressure he's under; I would be very very surprised if it was a minor review.

In past years there was a date in August that according to AFL rules off field staff had to be notified if there services were no longer required. God knows what the date was / is this year. But I suspect that the date has passed e.g all the North deletions. I also suspect that any coaches that are not required at the MFC would have been told by now they have just kept it in house.

No sorry DD. I did hear some little whispers a couple weeks ago about Dees being very keen on getting Luke Ball to the club in some capacity,  they say he is a FM in waiting so i wonder if there is some legs to that. For what its worth i think Luke Ball would be a wonderful appointment / addition to the club.

If Mahoney is going, it gives me shudders of memories of brutal corporate life when the club's website uses him as reporter of, and commenter on, the recent re-signings, with "WE look forward to..."

And, re the review, it IS Tom Morris / Fox sports (I know, I know!) but...

Hi @Demon3 are you able to paste the tweet or send out who posted it? Love to know where this is coming from. Like that the clubs keeps things close to the chest these days...but somewhat frustrating as an impatient fan demanding progress.

There's been non-official or club-linked talk from footy people that Richardson could step into Mahoney's role, Tom Morris has spoken about that possibility in the last couple of days too.

Excuse my ignorance but what is so special about Richardson? Does not seem to have set the world on fire anywhere he has been.

Don't know tbh. I know footy people say he's a level headed operator, which I guess is handy for a footy manager role, but aside from that I don't really know what his strengths are.

Well good news is we have Burgess signed to a 3 year deal (allegedly). And I’d much rather Pert over Mahoney to be conducting an internal review (though external would be preferred, but no doubt cost $).

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
