A lot of people here are taking the opportunity to roast Lamb.

Should he be hauled over the coals?

Or do we give him another season?

Trade radio just said to keep an eye on Jimmy Bartel and Melbourne.

 

I am certainly not against this alternative option instead of pursuing Graham Wright.

But what role would Jimmy Bartel have at the Demons?

I remember hearing he stepped down as football director at the Giants? For what I can tell he mainly does media work now doesn't he?

Yeah it's a tough one, one thing he does have is experience in a few off field roles. List management at Bris, assisting with the appointment of Kingsley at GWS etc.

If there is a good fit for him I think he could offer a lot and that goes for anyone as I believe Collingwood are keen as well.

If there is even a skerrick of truth to the reason that Clarry’s name keeps poking up due to trying to get his salary and contract off the books, then Lamb has to go.

He was already on shaky ground, but to be a big cause in one of our greatest players exiting, I’d want him gone asap.

No proof of that yet. It’s Perty that is being alleged guilty of that crime.

Hang on, this makes little sense.

You want Lamb gone because he tied up "one of our greatest players" to a long term deal?

Roast Lamb over the coals with some seasoning.

We are talking about the menu at family day right?

You know it makes sense….

If Lamb is trying to get him off the books after a year, resulting in us getting less than satisfactory compensation as a result, then yeah.

The searching questions hurled at  Tim  Lamb today appear to reveal a catastrophic situation within the Club.Those in football management had no intention of losing Oliver , yet others, and apparently Pert, have indicated he might be traded.  He has been permitted to visit Geelong, mingle with their players etc. Then he announces he will stay with MFC! The word shambles is being bandied around and IMV it is justified. If we didn’t all love the club so much we’d be bursting our sides laughing . Yet the CEO  has  said nothing. The President has announced Oliver is staying but offered no explanation as to how this farce occurred. Whilst the present situation continues our club is doomed for 2025 and beyond . Time cannot be allowed to run on, whilst the  Reviews   are conducted. We need an explanation NOW . If the CEO was acting on his own initiative then he should very carefully consider his positions

And where is that Pert was doing this on his own can you point me to that.

No to Graham Wright

 We have seldom  won with pies cast offs. 

Pretty sure that trend started with our short folly with Fabulous Phil Carmen

What about old concrete hands? 

Heritier Lumumba, Brody Grundy and Ben Kennedy in more recent memory. Reputations and controversies aside none really met with expectations. Digging deeper, Henry Coles and Peter Moore both played 77 games with the Demons. Moore winning a second Brownlow (his second) during the 1984 season, suggests a more successful transition. Henry Coles and Phil Carmen shared a mutual propensity for confrontation with Carl Dietrich.

The other way Demons to Pies, *Ross Brewer, Taj Woewodin and currently Jeremy Howe. Brewer and Woewodin were in the twilight of their careers. Howe's continues with a premiership in 2023.

* Ross Dellamarta and Wayne Gordon were traded to MFC from the pies for Brewer.

So if over time, the participants contributions post trade to their new homes are weighed up. The balance may not be as some posters purport to be, so one sided in Collingwood's favour.

I felt dreadfully sorry for Tim Lamb. 

Great call.

The interview wasn't as diabolical as the Age's headline, but this club are ametuers when it comes to media management.

Tim Lamb sent out to answer ovbious questions, fully unprepared by Media dept., where were they, and why do any media anyway. You're just giving the bottom- feeders oxygen.

Communicate via controlled channels to members. Everyone else are just passers by to a car crash and don't care anyway.

Big weakness in CEO's performance IMO.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s

    2024 Player Reviews: #27 Marty Hore

    The versatile defender who can play as a tall interceptor and also take on smaller opponents got his second chance this year but injuries prevented him from getting a regular place in the Melbourne team and managed to add only seven games to his AFL tally this year.

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.
