  1. Dealing with it. All good here. Have you actually watched RR's interviews post-match? Not sure he's the right person to conduct the interviews. How about a female? Embarrassingly, he had NFI what actually happened on the ground.

  3. Understand the criticism, stand by my post. Deal with it.
  4. Always admired Robbo's endeavour as a player but I'd like to see a detailed job description of "Club Ambassador". I cringed when he interviewed Lily Mithen and Bianca Jakobsson after the Crows game. Continually referring to his notes as if he'd paid no attention to the game in front of his eyes. Ambassador Role = soft job for loyal servant. We have to be smarter.
  5. There's a difference between finishing top of the ladder and winning the premiership. Unless you're new to AFL.
  6. $13 Premiers $7.50 Make GF $15.00 Top of ladder $3.50 Top four $1.75 Final 8.
  7. Who cares who's out? We come out to play and it doesn't matter. Bit over "Ooh, look who's out" stuff. Fire in the belly Demons!
  8. Jack's like a young bull at the gate with an attractive heifer in the next paddock atm. Can't wait to get going. Captain or not I hope the club lays it down clearly and firmly to him that he has to meet the requirements that every other player has to meet. No exceptions. Fully recovered, couple of games at Casey just to prove fitness and match-readiness. Time we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot so to speak by rushing players back before they're ready. It's a long season.
  9. Classic! One for the vaults.

     

  10. As Deemania said above, Troy was a quickly developing player who at the time I thought would definitely make it. Still clearly remember the memorial match at the G. Teams united and the game played accordingly. Just the way Troy would have wanted it.
  11. Nasher..."alleged sexual assault". That's it right now. It's alleged. Foot off the pedal until any legal action is initiated which I think is highly unlikely. The AFL can't act like a kangaroo court without investigation, verification and charges laid from the responsible jurisdictional authority in Indonesia. Of course it's a bad look for the MFC and smoke/fire etc. But let's follow due process as I've said previously.
  12. Just checked replies. Congrats on close to the most garbled post I've ever read on this site Wolfgang. (And tx for trying to summarise my observations). Now [censored] off.
  13. Couple of points. (some already noted). There was an incident in Indonesia according to the claimant and now acknowledged by the MFC. So far unsubstantiated in law and fact. This is the salient point. The media might be all over it but it doesn't matter a whit. It occurred outside any jurisdictional aegis of any Australian authority. Tell the Victorian police all you want, true or not. It doesn't matter. The claimant can pursue absolutely nothing unless a complaint is lodged with the Indonesian police. Evidence will be required, hard evidence and believe me the Indonesians are used to dealing with this particularly in Bali. It's a serious allegation and not what we need on our (for me brief )holiday break. I will welcome due process but hanging anyone out to dry at this stage is way off the mark.
  14. I'd say we are a maturing team which collectively now has a more acute idea of where they are and what it will take to improve next year. As if they don't talk to each other all the time. They don't always need a whack from the headmaster. I see it as a positive. They're taking some responsibility and initiative. They're not slacking off. Quite the opposite.
  15. Why on earth go on a so-called boot camp? Knock yourselves out boys, show me you're a man. Novices to the British army did boot camps. So did Borstal boys. We hopefully have a fine-tuned training/rehabilitation program already in place. No need for this type of macho [censored].
  16. Only a few of these are actually cryptic. Most are what are called "posers". But a great idea. Might give me something to do over the summer months to add to the entertainment.
  17. We need icing on top of the cake. Hartung doesn't cut it. A Hawk reject from a club which has ambitions for a spot in the finals 2018. Surely tells you something.
  18. Gawn recently has been cruising on his own reputation. Hasn't put in hard enough and gets a nice pay packet for years to come. Needs a rocket up his derriere. Recover the hunger and take it on. Jury out here.
  19. Why on earth would he have chosen that course of action? Makes no sense when the club has effectively told him to move on. That's the last thing any club wants. Hang around, you have your rights? We got what he's worth. Jake Lever is a great get.
  20. Why are we even considering this? A lot of old Melbourne thinking going on here.
  21. Short summary. Good result. "Number 1 draft pick and goes for a second round pick in the supposed prime of his career with two years left to run on an existing contract. Pathetic really." (Demonology). No angst from me that JW's gone. Way too much sentimentality here for an under-performing player that didn't cut it consistently over numerous seasons.
  22. 20,000 free Welcome tickets to many people from diverse cultures, many new to the game, on a sunny Sunday arvo at the home of football. And the Demons win. Great marketing which hopefully converts a few to Aussie Rules & just as importantly to the MFC.
  23. Hogan will re-sign in his own good time under manager guidance of course. Guaranteed. I posted that Howe was done & gone way before it happened. It happened. Jesse's building strong relationships within the playing group & staff, is settled in Melbourne & going to be a keeper. I'll back this one in.
  24. He goes half-arsed with unpredictable skill execution. Not in our best 22.
