Sir Why You Little

If Junior Played next year he would have to be an impact player off the Bench. Let's get through this year first-it's only just started really.

BANG!!! I bet he wasn't expecting that Reply!!! (That Got me Laughing Big Time!) B)

Like chucking a Dog in Front of a racing car-it was the wrong thing to do. He was used as a marketing tool. He was still doing Year 12, he should have been played against an interstate side and eased into it.

I Hate this Thread...Jack Watts is 6'5 & still growing not six months out of school. The Club has made one mistake, that is we played him in the QB game last year. he is just out of school boy footy-LET HIM LEARN HIS TRADE (all year at Casey if necessary) 6'5 & still growing-He could be anything. Get off his case & show him support.

Jamie Dursma was another Beauty who resurrected a career in that 88 year, a complete no name who played in the Grand Final side. Good Bloke i met jamie after he retired-he loved his time with Northey & the Demons.

Big Test for our Midfield this week, & we now have one- a really good one. The game will be one from the middle, we must play well out of there to Starve the Bears 50 m arc. I reckon our Boys can do it, but can they sustain it for 100+ minutes? I hope our Team is really looking forward to this challenge. i hope the team are Really thinking "BRING THEM ON" Lets Beat a Top Side at our Ground. Like the Collingwood Game we will know the answer in the first 5 minutes. If the Team is switched on we can win-but we have to play our game. If the Bears Dictate we shall be Smashed. Go Demons-Make Jimmy Proud of ya once again, & all of us supporters. The MCG-Let's make our Home The House of Pain-Starting from this Saturday. B)

Point Taken-But Northey was the right man to get the best out of those boys (after a shaky start-dont forget we were 6-9 before we got Fired up in '87.) Some of John's warm up speeches were amazing i have heard via G. Lyon, which is why we often put in Huge First halves & then Hung on for a close victory. They were never the greatest side but Northey got them to often over achieve.

From A.I.S. days Together. Very Good Mates.

RDB is a great bloke-don't get me wrong, but he was the first to bring in these Dammed "5 year plans" & it didn't work sadly, don't Forget at Carlton & North he had ready made (just add water sides) so it is hard to know how good RDB is as a Grass Roots Coach. He had all the pieces of his chess board. At melbourne he didn't. I have had a few Beers with Barrass when he had that pub in Richmond-Told him i Hated those North Flags too. I Hope Barrass Presents the Cup to the next Melbourne Capt. like Bob Davis did too Geelong last year

That's a Pisser, wish i had heard that!!!! B)

Having Read "The Coach" many times I Respect RDB, sure although i hated those Flags he won for North in the '70's-They should have been ours. That said when Barrass came back in the '80s the place was in a mess, & i am sure he and slug did a lot of Hard work but we got No results on field with the seniors. So i give RDB some credit along with slug, But most i give to John Northey.

I think Sheeds needs to watch Cam Schwab's Whiteboard Wednesday presentations to learn the modern ways of a football club. I still cannot work out why he wrote that article-it makes no sense, unless he really does resent the MFC. I would have thought he would be encouraging to Bails as he is another of his past players. I love sheeds,but he lost a lot of my respect over this article. I hope it comes back to haunt him BIG TIME B)

Which Parts Have Merit? Going by that Model the MFC gets to play against Regional Australia...We Started the Competition FFS!!!

Very Harsh Call. He has Stiffened up that Defence a lot & Helped the side to win over the last 2 weeks It's players like Joel who are going to be the Teachers of this team in building the "culture" that we all want-it's a tough gig to be a defender in modern footy & so far Joel Mac has done a great job. Really looking forward to saturday nights game against the Bears-I hope he proves them wrong big time.

Please Do Not apply for Demetrio's job when he retires. Your idea Stinks-Pure and simple. I'm sure Melbourne v Ballarat would pull a Bumper Crowd at the MCG!! Next.... B)

Why the Hell would we want Laycock on our list. He is a dud from what i have seen. Chris Dawes i would consider though.

Isn't that always what happens with organizations-people take over from previous people. John Northey got us into 5 Final series running...count them. So give the man some credit even if you are still upset that it wasn't RDB.

The MCG is our home, we moved back in last year when the Realignment with the MCC was signed off by Jim & Schwaby. The other teams are renters.

What an amazingly sad way for the gunners to go down, but still a good season regardless of the next few weeks.

As long as he came back on our terms. Scott Thompson owes the demons a bit i reckon. Yes i reckon there is trouble at the mill over there Players are being over trained is my guess, they look knackered at round 4!!!

John did a fantastic job over 5 years after 23 years of nothing-Maybe its my age but Northey woke up the demon hopefully as Dean Bailey will do. No offence to Slug or RDB at all, But John Northey was a no name coach who got 110% out of the Demons during his time.

The Melbourne Football Club means something again. This is even Bigger than the great Northey years. This Club is going to be Loathed & envied again as it should. Thanks Jimma. I hope Ricky Petterd thinks long & Hard about his Future. I wouldn't want to shake Jim Stynes Hand & say goodbye-not even to go back to my Home state. B) Bring on Next Saturday Night...

Well Said Miss Jaded. Can't wait for the Day when Mr Watts Takes a Specky on the Members wing of the 'G. A change in the Force will be felt on the other side of the universe the Roar will be so loud! B)

Col could easily play further forward this week, as he is now not critical in the middle. Certainly gives the coach more options and strategy, which is a welcome change. Col was Fabulous yesterday-5 weeks ago his jaw was a packet of chips. Yesterday he was Fearless Welcome Back Colin.

Watch Cameron Schwab's Whiteboard Wednesday videos on YouTube. I am confident that the Club Picked Gysberts for a good reason-Give the kid the chance to show his stuff before any judgememnt is passed please.
