None why do we need another song. Geez this club comes up with some corny ideas. Why dont we just let the team run out. They play stuff before hand anyway. Im pretty sure no other club has a song. Seriously we have an afl investigation on the go and thats what the club is thinking about.

I may write back look at the players on the ground after we lose. McDonald and Johnson arent exactly celebrating. Does everyone realise we were winning until the last 2nd. A melbourne player didnt give McMahon the ball. That footage that the sun have on there site is stupid. The commentary is funny form the guy I mean. Is this the evidence. Paul Johnson gets to the ball 1st but it bounces the wrong way and brown waits behind it kicks a goal. Are they serious. Well now ive seen it all. Because Dean Bailey obviously instructed the ball to bounce the wrong way. Why dont they put on there website brett ratten not manning up Travis johnstone.

I bet if it was still Caro writing these articles that have been in the age the past 3 days there would be more of a bagging but because a male wrote it there gender doesn't get attacked. The thing that disappointed me about todays article in the age is the quote he took from Jim's book about wanting the pick but failed to put in the other quote where Jim wrote he never told Dean Bailey to lose games. By the way they are still talking about the richmond game and Johnson on Brown. How did brown go that day?

I wonder what Hardwick will say to Pettard. He had the edward incident and its not a great start for Ricky at a new club. Hardwick doesnt look at these things very well. But surely you know what you will face of Neeldy. I reckon just push them extra hard at training and make them do some private ones. Although at least its not as bad as adelaides new fitness man who was arrested for assaulting a hotel manager. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/national/crows-fitness-coach-andrew-young-on-assault-charge/story-fncz7kyc-1226543755960

What were they thinking sitting in that area. Of course they would be tragets. I have no sympathy for them. I not surprised to see dunn there and chip isnt exactly the smartest person going around but im surprised Howe got caught up in it. Couldnt his cousin get him better seats. Im sure Matty wade is proud of his cousin for getting kicked out. In todays world of social media you cant get away with anything. Its just disappointing after the darwin camp where Im sure neeldy would have drummed a few things into them and he would be furious. I think he is overseas in the states.Well he was the other day. I thnk they will get a talking to.Anyway luckily we arent a big a club as collingwood otherwise this would drag on for days. But it would had been nice to read in the off season about us training well not getting kicked out boxing day.

The @AFL probe into tanking at Melbourne believed near-complete. At least 1 official has adverse finding. More soon on http://afl.com.au tweet from damien barrett 1 min ago

excuse this stupid question but did dawes go the darwin? I just cant remember reading anything about him being there.

Here the 2 new boys in there polos having just arrived in darwin. According to Jonsey the team are now in kakadu. So they think they have to hike though the national park.

Aaron Daveys chase and run down on McDonald, after the big man initially broke clear from Flash, was an indication of the fleet-footed veterans desire not to give up. Still, McDonald can seriously run for a player of his size. Thats the stuff u want to hear. Neelds address is clear, concise and straight to the point. Thats whats great about him. No stuffing around and tells it like it is. Interesting that the leadership group wont be announced until late Jan even if they are voting in this camp. Actually the day 4 video is interesting. Its Neeldy miked up so u get an insight on what is meant to be happening.

I think its great for bonding and it sounds like the new recruits are fitting in well. Its good to get updates on the website. Read on the mfc site about neeldys knee in bandages and wont say what happened. He is obviously just one of those people that just gets on with it and doesnt let it bother him.

I know this is the Wilson file but here is the other one that hates us. Greg Venom Denham.

As I put in another thread does Neeldy say to the boys ok off to sleep now, lights out then in 45 minutes he comes in and says wakey wakey. Its actually interesting and shows just how much Neeldy and co plan everything and I doubt Dean ever came up with these strategies.

Have to remember that there are older members out there who dont have an email address. So getting it in the mail works for them. Its a once a year thing. I know we get something at the start of the season as well but im pretty sure the club can finance it.

I think it's funny that at 3 the boys have a sleep. It's like they're little children and I wonder if Neeldy says ok boys sleep time im turning off the lights now. Have no issue with it and it shows just how much he plans for our club. I wonder if Bailey put in half of this much preparation.

Just got it in the mail today. Interesting read, nice tribute to Jim and also Slug jordan and dudley. Even got some recipes in there from players. Neeldy wrote a bit about the darwin camp and according to him there is a great buy in from everyone and we will be ok. Schwab explain what the gold stars on our jumper means. I think he must just sit at his desk and ponder what designs he can do or what clothing he can bring out. But interesting that Don said melbourne supporters convert to membership at a higher rate than any other club. Really? Also mentions it was JIms aim to get to 40,000 members. Hopefully we can get there.

I refuse to listen on thursday and fridays now. I just heard the last bit yesterday when KB said he cant defend greg on his hatred of us. The thing is why should it bother Greg on who we recruit. He doesnt follow us. Also we have only recuited Byrnes and rodan who are 28. Rodan we got for nothing. What about Jesse Hogan, Viney and Toumpas that we bought in. They arent exactly old. But apparently we are the bears. I wish I heard that comment though. Good call. I wanted to ring up and say we may have recruited a couple of 28 year olds but at least they didnt get beaten in a time trial by there coach like Murray Newman did in the same week he allegedly assualted someone. But the funny thing is has someone made him realise his beloved eagles picked up Morton. Good luck with that. Try supporting them when they have the most frustrating player.

Its interesting to read matt burgans diaries on the website. It sounds like they are in for some pain but are also there to map out the game plan.

Did venon denham bag us for going to darwin on kb's show today? I didnt listen to it but tuned in at 5 to 10 to KB reading out allthese text messages about us and KB said you have gone to far with this melbourne thing and im not in your corner. Just wondered what his issue is now. Not happy with darwin?

I heard a grab where Anderson said he hopes to have the melbourne tanking issue completed by the time he leaves which is March. Geez if by march they are still investigating then they wont find anything. He also said he has a team that can do it such Clothier but this has to be completed soon. We dont want to be going into round 1 with this issue still going on.

Yesterday on SEN Tim Watson was going on about us going to darwin and saying as a new recruit you'd rather go to the States than Darwin as you wouldnt want to train in the heat and also you get to go to the states. I thought does everyone need an opinion on where we go now. Tim Watson asked Neeldy today about the heat, humidity and recovery and Neeld just said well when we come back we arent playing a game of football the following week and the players are on there christmas break. It seemed to shut Watto up. Thats the great thing about Neeldy he has an answer that just shuts knockers up straight away. You could almost tell by the relief in his voice about this years recruiting and list turnover. he seems much more happier this year and says the players have come back in great shape. Mind you I would have been scared to rock up to day 1 of pre season very unfit.

What did they say. When will there be a decision.

You know what the funny thing is. The stupid morons who are abusing her on twitter to the account they think its hers. Im guessing the majority of them are pies fans. But hate to tell you its not her.

I would be very disappointed if he got that treatment. We all heard Mark Neeld when Jurrah left and the conversation they had. Jurrah has to focus on his family and his partner who if she hasnt already about to have a child. Unless any of you is a tribal elder in the aboriginal community you would ever know what its like. No im not one but obviously its a very hard thing. Jurrah also needs to earn an income. Football was his thing and if circumstances were different hen he would still be a demon. Who knows what will happen in march. But Port have to be aware of his circumstances. They aren't just drafting a normal footballer. He has a lot of baggage.

According to mfc the presser will be on the melbourne website soon. Not there yet. Or if you watch ch10 late news tonight you may catch it there on the sports report.
