Haha good one! My dog seems to have more interest in AFL sometimes than he does.

Well I think we all know who would win that award :D

No one. The number should be retired. Just like 5 and should 2 should be as well.

Although I wouldnt mind seeing Geelong win, I think Eagles, Port and Sydney will all come good at the right time. I'll still put my money or the Eagles.

Really? I had spurs on my heels and I can tell you that I find it hard to believe he went the whole year playing with them, especially considering his position.

That receding hairline can't do him any favor's....

He probably writes more articles on Melbourne than on any other team...

The more past players you have at a club the better; it's the only way you're going to get unconditional passion for success and the club.

You'd never guess what I'm doing at uni

Viney isn't leaving Hawthorn anytime soon imo. Considering he has an ex-team mate at the helm of the club he probably has more on offer for him there and while I don't judge his passion for the MFC, he wanted to be here, he would be.

Sometimes he can write some really good stuff, but other times he writes just **** and blabbers on about the same stuff over and over again.

lol delusional

Finally getting some previous Demons into the club

Hmmm, interesting...

I guess that lies heavily on Daniher's shoulders and is rather insulting to his staff and himself. In saying that, Dean Bailey is the new love of my life.

Johnstone won't be at the MFC next year. Soooo getting traded!

If the clowns on Footy Classified are anything to go by, anyone who has even gone near Mark Williams during his time at Port Adelaide is highly regarded. Spoke well and I'm looking foward too next year with the guy!

You've got to consider where the AFL is beyond the whole drug fiasco. Record crowds and profits, high memberships, overseas leagues etc. The league is a powerhouse and he has been head of it during its rise. He is quickly turning into David Stern who is NBA Commissioner; everyone hates the man but he does too good a job on certain things that all of his bad things are overlooked.

We're going to win tomorrow anyway so it really doesn't make a difference.

I wonder if he'll get the "Life Underachiever" award too... lol sorry, vulgar, crude joke that isn't even funny. Congrats to Danner's. Although I loathed your coaching in the last 2 years of your time at Melbourne, you coached the club I love for exactly 66% of my time as a Melbourne fan.

Let's be honest and say that Johnson has more reason and deserving to be considered the Last Lion than Daniel Ward does.

I've got that game on VHS Pity I don't have a VHS player to play it god damn technology!

What does everyone think? Does Bailey keep him on or does he move on? Is he worth keeping? In all honesty, no, I don't think he should stay on. I think the club needs to move as far away from the Daniher era as possible and begin fresh and I think Bailey will be thinking the same.

While agree almost completely with your posts there, I can't help but think that it was the Melbourne board that picked him over those candidates, and Melbourne board members havnt always been known for their wonderful business/football moves.

In my opinion, based on Bailey's coaching career and how long he has been in the AFL as a coach of some sort, he was our best candidate. While I would have preferred Sheedy purely for branding purposes (and partly because he is a football genius), Bailey has been the apprentice at two of the best teams of the past decade (Essendon in 2000 and Port in 2002-2004) and it was only a matter of time before he was coach, at Melbourne or not. I'm optimistic.
