Then again perhaps there was a Cinderella clause, if your foot can fit into the boot that matches Jeff White’s face!

Can believe our media release didn’t start with according to Wilson, McClure, Barrett & Co. no matter when what how who our process was flawed and that’s how we ended up picking the horror writer Stephen King!

No hard feelings. I heard Jeff got a real kick out of the appointment.

Can anyone confirm that there's a clause in King's contract which states that his time with us doesn't formally start until he's had a face-to-face meeting with Ghostwriter?

Steven King

It's time to go Steven King thread?

At the moment he hasn't started well, Wanted to shaft Clarry, Tracc, and May! Watch this space!

There's just no way with the list we're going to have that we win more than 5 games next year. You'd hope that behind closed doors that was the expectation that was set.

End of the day, we have a history of players underperforming...if he can somehow get this group across the board to give max effort and perform to their level, then maybe it won't be a complete disaster. Watching a team perform to their level is fine...watching talented people constantly botch things under pressure is harder to watch (e.g. our last 4 years).

I just have a really uneasy feeling about this regime right now. Even the potential assistants that are being spoken about are uninspiring.

He couldn’t have started better…

He's doing the first part very well. can't fault it

The next part is much harder. raising the standards, changing the game style and making us competitive

And bringing quality back in

Getting rid of quality players, regardless of their issues, is very easy

One of the lads I know who played with Kingy for a few years at the catters thinks we got an absolute ripper as coach. Very intelligent and respectful guy who loves a laugh with the lads but was the ultimate professional.

So far, I think he's doing the right thing. We won stuff all with CP & CO really not exactly setting the world on fire or adding anything overly great. They also never took control of a game or single handedly got us a win like we should be expecting of our superstars.

With so much drama about the two, I'm sad to see them go but 100% back the decision and think it's the right move for the club.

I also respect King for making a tough call that could put additional pressure on him if the team doesn't perform - just shows he's backing himself in for the long run.

I think King has genuinely put the club first with what he is doing, can’t argue with that.

He’s got a clear direction and he’s following it - I am optimistic we might see a few more happier players next year

Hold the front page!!!

When did Jaded No More become Very Jaded? And why? Is there some hidden message in the change? We need a thorough explanation...maybe even a Royal Commission.

She used to be just ‘Jaded’ as rjay would say. That was pre-2021

So there is some definite backsliding

Couldnt have said it any better. It seems no accident that 3 most talked about players on here are the one being moved out.

1 by his own choice and the other 2 because of the issues attached to them that we all no.

Its going to be be difficult to see CP and CO playing in other colours but we need clear air. If these 2 were to be still here in 12 months we would be going through the same BS again.

We may not do any better next year than we did this year, but at least they will be united and hopefully get back to playing for both one another and the might Melbourne Football Club.

Interesting King replacement.

Pulled this from SEN:

A regular on SEN, Buckley turned down the opportunity to take on the Melbourne Demons head coaching role, and steps into Geelong despite strong links to the Tasmania Devils head coach position.

Crazy, why you’d want to be an assistant coach and not head is insanity.
