Melbournefc Statement - Review of Football Department

Featured Replies

I dislike the way Paul Gardiner has gone to stir up this drama.....he ate his own words for saying to wait till the end of the season to do this.

im not sure about that. i think that we are putting a review in place to decide if ND is the right person or if we should advertise the position. that doesnt mean we are sacking danniher, and that doesnt mean we are making public statements about his future and contract...

 
My tip

Daniher is gone - Connolly might be in although they'll wait until the end of the year (Brett Lovett as assistant) - Gary Lyon on the Board - Schwartz also to be more involved - some senior Melbourne influencers have had enough and Friday night was the last straw - very angry people apparently

I was one of them-This club has under achieved since 1965. Enough is enough. We carry the name of our city for christ sake

I watched the show last night and I got the impression that gary was saying to Voss that the melbourne job is up for grabs. Voss stated that off field stability is important to him, facilities etc. which melbourne are improving in. Voss would be in a position where, he would be in a club with a new future just like he was when brisbane started up. I feel that this would appeal to him as he could have more say and put his stamp on the club. They had very little in the beginning and our situation parallels that. Voss also talking about having conversations with grant thomas. I may be making assumptions here but I'm betting that he is so sure of being able to do the job because thomas will be handling the man management and Voss the preparation and coaching. Any others see the program?

 

Melbournefc Statement

Paul Gardner has announced that the Melbournefc is undertaking a comprehensive review of its football operations and strategies for the next 5 years.

"This is the logical and professional way of handling such matters, and we have fully briefed Neale Daniher and key football department staff on the process. Neither Neale nor the Club will be making any further comment on the review, or the coaching position, until the process is concluded."

I dislike the way Paul Gardiner has gone to stir up this drama.....he ate his own words for saying to wait till the end of the season to do this. Caroline Wilson is right and I agree with all her comments last night and in The Age this morning.

Where has he stirred up a drama?

The football department is being reviewed. This kind of thing happens in professional business all the time. Perhaps a bloody sacking would suit you more, or perhaps you would prefer the club to sit on its hands and just look to the sky for assistance?

A review is right on the money IMO.

Season has passed us by...........planning for next year is exactly what we should be doing.

I like Danners........I hope he can get over this hurdle and remain coach.........but if it's deemed he is not the future, then let's get on with the job of winning a premiership!

I'm left wondering if he actually would want to continue - has he ever commented on going on next year?

Given the circumstances who of you here would go on??

he can make it easy...just volunteer to go at end of year... willl let him off hook. review can still go ahead

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
