So a “Board director at Carlton” has shown you a text from Patrick Cripps phone? This text message was from Clayton Oliver, saying he wanted to go to the Blues and play with Cripps?

You get a screen shot of it per chance? 

BS

    They'd probably think a dentist is a panelbeater.

    $300k per year for 5 years.

    Paying 1.5mil to have a player NOT play for you.

    Incredible.

    I doubt the $300k is for 5 years. Would suggest it is only for the remaining term of his  contract with Collingwood not the new Doggies deal. So probably more like 300-600k over 1 - 2 years.

    He has 5 years remaining on his Collingwood contract.

    Why do clubs release merchandise for the next season before the trade period?

    Mind boggling.

    Because the marketing department don't talk to the football department.

    We solved a similar calendar problem by eliminating them altogether.

    Did you see the text message?

    No, and I don't have proof. All I have is the word of a very respectable person at Carlton.

    Obviously, it is all just hearsay but I guess we will see what eventuates next year with Oliver's contract negotiation.

    An extra payment from the Filth ... amid the muck and mire. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of social misfits.

    As a coach, I highly rate Buckley. His teams have often played good footy.

    As a people-person or people-manager, I can't actually remember anyone as bad as him unless you mention Mark Neeld or Scott Watters. He is woeful. He has to stop thinking of them as footballer entities, and interact with them as people. Add in a CEO who appears has risen to the level of his incompetence, and the Pies are in serious trouble as a club. 

    Can't wait to hear Eddie's spin in this - could be the best comedy act of 2021.

    One thing they all have in common? All assistant coaches to Mick Malthouse. I keep wondering (to be truthful, I believe, although without hard evidence) that Mick Malthouse isn't best known for being a "people-person" either.

    Of the four, though, I've always thought Buckley shows more empathy than the other three.

    Interesting...

    I think outside of football Buckley probably has more empathy.

    ...but inside the buble of the football club Malthouse has him well covered. He's very highly regarded by his players at WC and C/Wood. Winning premierships doesn't hurt but he was able to get the best out of players Buckley in his wisdom decided to move on.

    Malthouse comes across as an arrogant a... hole but I think he knows how to work with different player personalities and get the best from them. It appears, and the record seems to show, that Buckley can't.

    All this anger will either be forgotten by round 3 or intensified, depending on the 1 true factor in sport the win loss record.

    Malthouse appeared to alienate a lot of players who left rather than stayed to play under him. Whether it was their choice to leave or whether Malthouse pushed them out, I have no idea. But I agree, once he had the players he wanted and who wanted to be there with him, he got the best from them.

    Yeah, dangerous hearsay, just another false rumor.

    There’s rumours and there’s rumours. When you hear one and you laugh, then it’s a rumour and probably best not to post it on here as gospel. That being said, I heard Cripps flew home from the States just to show the board member the text message.

    Adam Treloar and Jaidyn Stephenson feature in January and October respectively in the 2021 calendar.

    ...so... Out of the 12 best/most popular players, they trade 2 for peanuts and offer another for trade.
    Suppose they can say they’re still paying Trelor?

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
