Exactly, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Brett Ratten @ $34.00 - hmmmm, worth a punt

Heard him speak on 3AW this afternoon. Already very polished in the media on that (admittedly short) performance. Also made it quite clear that he wants to coach at senior level very soon.

Yep, ill think about putting $20 on ratten. Seems like good value

yeah i might look at a $10

can you place it at a TAB or do you have to do it online etc?

ratten or mckenna provide some good value i think... maybe worth having a punt on both of them... if someone bets on connolly that is the worst investment they've ever made...

Especially at those odds. I just cannot reconcile how he would coach Melbourne and I think it is the media beating it up becasue he played for us and ex-Melbourne media ppl like Healy and Gaz like him.

Have they got odds regarding what Melbourne supporters will do if the club appoints Connolly as head coach?

You know....

- Not renew membership $2.50

- Relocate to Mt. Buller $1.50

- Burn down Junction Oval $1.20

I wouldn't withold my membership $.

I would love to burn down the Junction Oval facilities although we should wait till the new ones are ready.

Think I will put my house on a relocation to Mt Buller because that will be where I go if they do appoint him.

what interests me is the $4 for 'any other person'?

are they saying anyone from outside this list of people? if so, who else is there? and why would it be rated so highly?

The $4 is generous becuse the field for other coaches is so wide clearly. The obvious example would be Ross Lyon, no one had him on the radar for the saints last year, but he is at the helm now.

Most of the time I think they give it short odds because they generally dont know what will come out of left field, i.e Drew Petrie today probably wouldn't have been on the list for most goals scored in the roos v dogs game today...

just seems veeery low odds considering the names on that list, wouldve thought itd have been closer to the $10 mark

Whoever they select, they need to give them a four year contract - Daniher basically had two or three year contracts - that's too short - creates short term thinking and bad draft selections.

Aha, Neil Balme, surely those are generous odds for Neil!

its rubbish, Connolly and Riley are no hope

connelly didnt even get a single vote on the poll on this site. Yet he is favorite. Would be a travesty

I will be putting money on viney at $10 might put a bit of grunt into them also

What fools are pumping these Connolly odds? I don't know one person who thinks he should coach Melbourne next year. Surely, even the very slightest analysis of his record at Freo would rule him out.

If there is any fan gesture more angry than 'burn my membership card' point me in the right direction. Actually, point me at Richmond's stand-by pile of chicken [censored].

Connolly was an average player who played a few good games for MFC before injuring a knee. He is an ordinary coach who has not got the best from his list. Apparently he was a great bloke to have around on a footy trip and was an excellent clubman. His other claim to fame is that Garry Lyon thinks highly of him. I would rather Riley.

If Peter Schwab had'nt gone to hospital for one match, Connolly may not of even got the Fremantle gig.

Well, as expected Connolly has shortened dramatically in all markets... now the clear favourite to get the Melbourne Job.

Say what you like about bookies, but they're very cluey on this sort of stuff.

The only thing I can think of as why Connolly is favourite, is because he is a past player, which doesnt mean much. How many coaches are there at the moment are at the club they played for ? Worstfold but he can coach.
