Your right im probably just paranoid

Yes. You are. Extremely.

Please refrain from hastily creating threads in the future.

Oh, for heaven's sake...

Do we really need this carry on at such an early stage?

Reported in the HS today...A report from Daryl Timms...

Quote...."Roos said he had spoken to Demon CEO Peter Jackson and told him"No""

Don't shoot the messenger ....

What if the messenger is silly enough to bother quoting Daryl Timms..?

The thread was made in 2012 on the back of Neeld appointing 2 young captains.

Since then, Neeld has been sacked and his young captains have barely gotten a kick, whilst Jones is on his way to another Bluey.

Hopefully the next coach gets it right.

So you wrongly equate leadership with being the best player in the side?

You really think that if Jones was a half-decent leader he wouldn't have been made captain in their stead?

Completely unsurprising.

Just another who doesn't understand the concept of leadership and what is required.

I'd wager London to a brick that you subscribe to the archaic notion that he best player should be captain.

How quaint.

Yes, well, the more deluded are showing themselves above.

Still patting themselves on the back for taking a punt and getting it right.

But they didn't know. They didn't have a clue.

The closest ground to the MCG which is in the City of Melbourne is also in Yarra Park. It is called the Richmond ground. Why can't we share with them? Everybody shares the "G" with us!

Aim high FFS.

You're aiming at the gutter...

No, but I did see him popping into the place next door frequently!

Delusional.

It's like those that were convinced Scully was leaving 9 months in advance.

They pat themselves on the back for being correct, but it was dumb "luck."

daily planet melbourne

I actually dropped my credit card out of my wallet onto the ground out the front of the Daily Planet, and found it there over 24 hours later, unused, when I retraced my steps.

... I was going to yoga at the studio next door! Honest!

True story.

I'd offer a job to "the Weapon" as strength coach.

Keep him completely away from running and supplements, but as far strength training, he's regarded as best in the business by many.

As long as it is clearly defined what his domain is, I don't see any issue with having him on staff.

We could have used someone like him in years gone by.

I reckon knowing his craft is a lot different to coaching it, and the Lions have failed to successfully develop a successor in his forward line, despite all the time he has missed with injury providing an opportunity.

I doubt he'd be much interested in coaching either.

Doesn't seem the type to me.

Not sure what would tie Wellman to MFC now anyway.

The club has changed it's training base, 99% of the staff, and only a handful of players would even know him.

His only real ties would be to Garland and Frawley.

ZOMG ROOS COMING 2 MELB LOL ROFLAW!!

Like I said, Clark will be fine.

It's normal to have a bit of pain for a good few months after having a screw removed, as bone grows where the screw was.

Kinda like mild arthritis.

But structurally the lisfranc is sound.

Just cautiously letting it heal completely and rebuilding his fitness after over a year off.

Lets hope it doesn't reoccur. Could be game over if it does.

Extremely unlikely.

This isn't like a hamstring tear where scar tissue can create a weakness.

Clark will be fine.

The club is just being overly cautious because of how important he is.

I wouldn't get your hopes up on Ratten.

Assistant coaches rarely move on after only 1 year, unless there are extenuous circumstances.

Ratten went to Carlton because of his ties to the club and the real opportunity to become head coach eventually.

Ratten is winning at Hawthorn, experiencing a strong culture, and would not be stepping into the top spot at MFC.

He's also not worth raving about.

Let it go...

I disagree, and he may be mature, but is still in his first season.

But how on earth can you write off Kent so early, especially considering his output?

Mind boggling.

Are they winning us games?

no average players in the worst MFC side in fifty years.

There is a reason Jones spent all that time at box hill.

1 season?

Don't ignore the gargantuan effort West Coast have made in developing Naitanui.

I've no doubt whatsoever that we wouldn't have invested even half the resources they have in developing him.

We'd be lucky if he'd reached the level of Majak Daw by now - a handful of highlights, but not a lot of substance.

What 316 clearly doesn't get, is that teams need Toumpas' type of player - highly skilled receiver - to be successful, as well as the Viney/Wines clearance winning type.

Our problem is that while other teams develop their skinny outside types into hard running contributors, ours tread water.

We need to develop them like other clubs have developed Walters, Wingard, Dal Santo, Griffen, et al.

If any of those players ended up at MFC, they'd be gone by now.

With the right development, a guy like Jamie Bennell had every chance of ending up just like Walters.

I like these types?

You like to talk crap & put words in the mouths of others.

We are talking about Joel Selwood, Luke Parker, Rory Sloane, Dustin Martin, Callan Ward, Ollie Wines, those types of players.

There will always be room in the game for these players.

The MFC probably decided that game no longer exists when they drafted Morton, Cook, Gysberts, etc.

But, they forgot to take into account that the aim of the game is to score goals and to do so - you actually have to get the ball.

Todd Viney appears to be on the right track, Terlich and Jones were great pick ups and good on him, he has done an amazing job.

No you're not, you're talking about players being villains.

You type so many words, yet say so little.

You guys are talking about a game that no longer exists...

I've not seen any evidence of CC doing ANY good work at the club.

He was a good spruiker at events, but it wasn't really important to his role at all.

The club seemed to realise that after Bailey's sacking, as he was moved into more of that role & kept away from the footy dept.

this alignment was driven by those two plebs Schwab and COnnolly

It was destined to fail

Like anything they touched

Hahaha Jesus H Christ, that's a long bow to draw!

Hogan and Viney play aggressive football, they are men's men.

Trengove is a girl, Toumpas is a girl, Cook, all these guys you probably love - Morton, I could probably roll on.

I don't care how seriously you take me, but Nathan Jones should be captain and Viney and Hogan are cut from that cloth.

The trouble with MFC is that we have too many skirts on our list.

Do you think Tom Scully was worried on the weekend, that he would feel a hit? Not in the slightest.

Intelligent rebuttal...
