The club has placed itself well to now go find a new coach, start playing the kids and decide which players won't be fronting-up in the red & blue in '08.

    What a load of crap this thread is and goes to show why we are rated a soft club in the eyes of the football world, take the emotion of out of it.

    Oh and people seem to forget that ND had a clause in his contract (he had it put in) that he had to have some sought of indication by July 31st if he was to get the job next year(please correct me if I am wrong) and he could have walked at the end of the year, what would you have said then?

    I am glad tha PG is conducting the review now and not later and goes to show that he has the balls to make hard decisions regarding the football department.

    Thoroughly agree. (Please ignore any bias due to my Log-on name )

    Yes,ND has a clause that he can start talking to other prospective employers on or after 1 August -in 4 weeks time. It was going to happen then or now.

    An earlier entry talked about the flakiness of the team, unable to grab top 4 etc, from winning positions. Unfortunately this was the main issue with the team over the last 10 years. If the Board didnt finally see this last week then they should have sacked themselves.

    Looking forward to the developments. Come on back Todd.

    One premiership in 49 years is not good enough.

    Summed up perfectly.

    What about Watson and St.Kilda

    Jewell and Richmond

    Bartlett and Richmond (they just didnt call him back)

    Jezza and carlton

    Schimmelbusch and north

    Blight and North

    Eade and swans

    Walls and Carlton

    the list goes on.

    Handled with reasonable dignity IMO given the above

    Sorry to veer off the topic, but Jaded, will you marry me?

    I can think of at least 2 people who might have something to say about that! ;)

    Handled with dignity by Daniher and the club. Gardiner said the issue would come into play once the season was done and dusted which it well and truly was after one of the more insipid efforts by a Melbourne team that I've seen last Friday night. Daniher's time was up after a 10 year stint. He is a decent and good man but that does not necessarily make him the right person to coach the Melbourne Football Club. Ultimately he is damned by the fact that not once during his 10 year coaching stint did we finish in the top 4 at the end of the home and away season - it is hard to forget that we missed the double chance last year because of 2 losses to the wooden spooners - and thus secure the double chance.

    One of them is an Essendon supporter and he does not count.

    But I am sure Brock McLean will give his consent! :wub:

    :lol::lol::lol:

    I always said that he'd be gone if McLean came into the picture, not sure we discussed Finks :P

    Thanks for making me laugh while I'm crippled in bed!

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
