Id give him a 3 by 3 . Nothing anyone does will perrform miracles in a couple of years though by then some indications of direction ought to be apparent. We will need to see the last of the current 'oldies' ( and no real disrespect to the likes of white and Neeta..but what is...iS !! ) retired and the buds of the new bllom coming forth before the NEW MELBOURNE really emerges. 3 by 3 offers some flexibility whilst facilitating longevity should it be needed and warranted.

The interesting ( well to me ) is the liitel thing that Kev obviously wants a crack at the job otherwise he wouldnt bother goinf to see teh club. Its HE who is in the box seat. Now I could be reading this all wrong, but it looks to be a signal from Sheeds to say to the MFC..."well guys...are you serious ...I am !! " and after all he only has to lighten the black to a dark blue :-))))))))))))))))))))

If anything..Im impressed. Would take real understanding of self and quite frankly some guts to say NO. especially after all the hype etc.( without even mentioneing the Silly money probably on offer ) He knows some will call into question his abilities , backboneetc. He is playing the Voss card, for Voss. Good on him !!

No club OWES a player his 200th !! A player owes it to himself to GET it !! Its not a charity!!

When's MFC going to anounce the new coach ? 5 mins after Kevs interview!! lol

can we buy tickets ? gotta beat watching the games !!

Well this years coaching race is a bit like a high stakes poker game. Lots of bluff and counter bluff. Essendon it seems were always going to part with Kev only timing being a contention. They got caught out with other 'resignations' and were forced to anti up needlessly possibly. Vossing folding wasnt expected , its shuffled the deck a bit. The game isnt over by a long shot. This is much more fun than watching the footy !! lol

The chances are with our wretched luck with injuries this year he will get his 200th by defualt. Should he not then he only has to look in the mirror to wonder why. Danners seemed amazingly patient with the bloke. I can only imagine a new coach wil not have Byrone on his priority list... well not to keep anyway !! Its a supposed professional and business world in football ( emthasis on supposed to be )...currently he's getting his sauce foir ghosting , and thats bloody expensive sauce !!!

I think Vossy has made the right choice, especially for himself. It certainly makes all the scenarios curioser and curiouser by far.

Byrone has no one but himself to blame for his present predicament. He also has the ability to solve it. Its down to him. I would hardly call the amazing patience this club has shown him as being "unfair ".

Bruce... I genuinely am. Cant wait for things to start happening. If we get a coach we need, some good picks in the draft it wil lbe a different Dees to take the field next year TFFT !!! :D

I can tell you pretty much that should Sheedy come to Melbourne. it wil be because he wants to , more than the other way around. If he came you can bet his heart and passion would be in it. Yep thats right...Sheeds has no idea of the modern game !!...excuse me whilst i fall around in convulsive laughter. some observers really havent been paying attention to the modern game.. .. Is 2000 recent enough for some ?? and even this year with his share of injuries he's likely to take a team into the finals. He's go no idea at all !!! lol

Theres a phenomenom called the Peter Principle. In a nutshell it purports that people will rise to the level of their incompetence and then plateau. This is almost exactly what Miller has done. He has risen to the level of his ability......... and gone NO further. This is it folks !! Danners hasnt impacted on Miller in the manner of his ability.. Miller either had it or he didnt. I support the latter.

NO

couldnt we accidently turn up to Princess park.. forfeiting it !! lol

would you have placed Rommel in charge of tank maintenace ??

Good luck Kouta. A class player whose skills were a joy to watch. Shame you played for 'them' :-)

where exactly DO they put the use by stamp? this is Soooo cliche without substance....are you age-phobic or something With his years comes experience.. Its unrivalled in the AFL . He doesnt have to kick the bloody thing. the words Young and experienced are often contra to each other... you want experience.. again...read carefully....SHEEDY !!

maybe you CAN soar like an eagle when surrounded by turkeys !!! Onya Jonesy

If Sheedy was on offer...id take him in a heartbeat, or quicker if possible :-) He can come with all his Martian and Seagull paraphanalia too !! lol

the more I think about it...the more Id rather Sheeds than Voss ( Id take Voss..if on offer though ) Sheedy is just the comensurate package. No player is ever going to pul the wool over his eyes!! lol.

does this not enforce the argument say for someone like Sheeds to come in. If he and Paul were to nut thigns out with say a 5 year plan.. this would encompass everything that goes towards being a REAL football club these days in the realm of the Football dept. If Sheeds doesnt kknow how a slick operation runs then there really isnt ever a hope for us. There would be no miracles overnight. it would take a yer or two to complete the weeding, whilst moulding a very business like tough/winning style team. No room for passengers, none for egos, none for personal agendas etc. Just one purpose.To play hard and win. Id say to Kev...here mate..yo uhave 5 years, we dont necessarily expect you to want to be there after that. But you can groom your successor all the whiles. Its not only a team we need to rebuild, its a whole philosohy and mentality as a club. Given its heritage and a respect for the club as an icon this might just appeal to Sheeds. He doesnt need to prove to anyone he can coach, so whats the next level ? Not just a team, build a club !!

might not be such a concern now....seems the Blues are actually trying to win...lol

damn...thought for a moment you made Sheeds coach !!! d'oh !!

The simple answer is.. what is it worth to the team to finish at X... or at Y ? Finishing 2nd last may give us the drafting of a future Ruck. We need that, what do we get by winning all if any of the remaining games? SFA !! This is a buisness. Take all the rosey world crap out of it and look at it from the cold hard position of effectiveness. Strangely enough if you took a literal Rosey standpoint, youd prune til hardly anythign was recognisable. Yould get rid of all read would and 'petals" and we have a few petals. Players that look good on a good day but fail to keep up the rest of the time. I personally have no problem with tanking. Its a ploy. Its a method of getting what you need, Its actually a plan. Demetriou has a vested interet in aying he wouldnt do it.. The AFL dont want any dilutoin of the public impression. Thats what the AFL market. it would apparently damage their pristine product if it were a\in any way a legit M.O. ( unlike the drug controversy etc..lol ) Its dog eat dog. MFC do what ever it takes to make MFC better...and f**k the rest !!
