i cant believe Brian Royal is still an assistant coach. Anyway its good to see the boys back and cant wait for the newies to show. Is Jack training over his exam period or have the given him time off to sit his exams.

Interesting to hear what Trengove has to say about all this. Apparantely he will be on JB and Billys show tomorrow.

Acutually from what I heard from venom man he wasnt to bad. Said something about driving past the lexus centre where collingwood have heaps of money, won a flag a few years ago and have a great list compared to us a few 100m down the road where our team isnt great and said we have no money. Im sure he was wrong about that. We do have money. But they talked about the other clubs and said the afl now have to interview fev after what he spoke about.

Since Jims gone the s**t] has hit the fan.

The thing is we have people in Dean Bailey's corner and people in the other corner. Now we know that certain players had issue with Schwab and were close to Dean. So any of them could be saying anything because they obviously weren't happy with the club administration. This secret player said the players were never told to lose. So it wasn't the players that cheated it was the stupid staff. The people must go. Jack Viney doesnt deserve to be taken away. He did nothing wrong. KB did say he wouldn't think the investigation would be finished before the draft so if we are punished it will probably be next year.

Thankgod Mark Stevens has written about the Kruzer cup on the h/sun website. Im glad Carlton has been bought back into the spotlight. Interetsing to hear J Ralph on radio today talking about WC and the media were onto them so Worsfold had to strat winning otherwise they owuld be spoken about. As Andy Maher said today I hope there isnt a Brock McLean in every football club.

I wonder if this mystery player will come out with more stuff. Im wondering if its a brad miller or paul johnson type. A player that wasnt a superstar player for us and was mad at there axing. Also Schwab has been very quiet on twitter. I wonder how the workplace morale is at the club.

The afl cant take jack viney off us. Why punish a kid who dreamed of playing at the same club his dad played at. That would be a stupid punishment. Jack did nothing wrong.What happened had nothing to do with him. Anyway I reckon Megan would be down at the AFL in a heartbeat and she'd let them know. Interesting tweet from sports reporter Glen Mitchell I wonder how many career strikes Melbourne CEO Cameron Schwab needs before no club will touch him. The man has serial problems with ethics. Obviously Cameron had issues at freo as well. WAsnt he with us when we rorted the salary cap. Seriously why could we just land a Brian Cook type CEO. Also Jon Ralph put out this tweet tonight. Demons player went on: "There was nothing (Bailey) could do. The club had a plan. Dees player in the H Sun today on going to Bailey asking not to tank any more: "Players had meetings & asked him what was going on. Yet the reported player said we were never told to lose.

I suspect the media will turn up to our training seesion tomorrow.

So who is going to listen to venom denham tomorrow morning? I think I will give hm a miss.

Why oh why are we down at geelong again. I know why but can we please play them at the G int he nest 5 years. At least the home game at etihad isnt against a freo or gws. The first few weeks look ok. Anyway I just hope we get off to a better start.

I thought moloney but he is up in brisbane.Unless he snuck into melbourne yesterday to speak to League headquarters. This is the danger the h/sun are in by not naming the player. Poeple are going to speculate. It sounded like to me it was a player from 2009 who has been out of the club for a couple of years. Maybe Paul Johnson spoke again. He opned his mouth previously. However the player said we were told never to lose. Well then thats not tanking. Pick 4 shouldnt be taken away. Mark neeld shouldnt be punished for this.

Couch and Magner retained as rookies. http://www.melbourne...24/default.aspx

Did Dwayne Russell really compare JIm Stynes to Lance Armstrong on his show tonight. I just read it on demonolgy. He's a disgrace if he did.

I bet its a player that has been de listed. Couldnt imagine it being a senior player at our club. At least have the guts to name them. Dont hide behind a newspaper article. However it says the players were never told to lose. So if the un named player has said that then wouldnt that mean we didnt tank and go to lose on purpose. So I guess the blame goes to the coaching staff. Was Brian Royal there at the time. Just wondering. I dont thiink Dean Bailey would be feeling to good right now.

I cant believe the AFLPA can say stkilda had no grounds to sack him. Are they serious. He was already on his last warning from Watters about a prior incident. Do they think about how the poor girl is going. What he did is a very serious offence. .

Second Melbourne player comes forward to reveal coach Dean Bailey was under pressure to lose matches. This is on the herald sun website. I cant get into the article but the headline is Tanks for the Kids. Face it we are stuffed.

The idiot was already on a club suspension. I think this is a far bigger issue than tanking. Sports people thinking they can get away with things. 90 text messages sent and harrsing his ex. Get what you deserve.

I think Jon Ralph is on wednesdays. They swapped people around the last few weeks. He isnt to bad. The thing is though in future games we will be heavily scutinised. If Neeld dare plays a player out of position then people will talk. Neeld must just go some nights throw his hands in the air wondering when all this crap will stop.

Im sick of playing north at etihad. Why cant we play them on our ground. The past couple of season they get to play us on there ground.

Fev worte about Carlton tanking in his book. But because of who he is the afl arent taking him seriously. Libba said how they used to say tankyou as a joke and 2 days later he changes his story. I can see Neeldy storming into Camerons office or Don and demand an explanation. Thtis guy doesnt need to cop any more stick this year.

Yeah Mark Stevens basically said the same thing as what Caro has written and there will be more in the H/Sun tomorrow. Face it we are going to cop some sort of punishment. But I still stress we cant be punished for the richmond game. If its deemed to be true then Dean Bailey should be banned form footy, Chris Connely should be sacked as well as Josh Mahoney and Schwab has to go as well. But it seems the players wernt trying to lose. Unfortuantely the one person who could shed some more light on this is no longer with us. Anyway poor Neeld who was no where near the club will have to cop some form of punishment if the afl take draft picks away or worse. He shouldnt be punished.

The way this year has been going i wouldnt be surpised if we get a punishment. But you cannot base the tanking on the richmond game. WE were winning with 2 seconds to go. I still maintain the siren went before Jordans mark. ALso you cant say the supporters were cheering when the goal went through. The fans are different from the players. Also whats wrong with players in different positions. Clearly its called experimentation. YOu want to know if they can play in different roles. geez did we tank this year because we played Rivers and GAland up foward. Also was Brian Royal part of the coaching staff then? Has he been interviewed because he is the only assistant left.

I was expecting to see us training on the news. Maybe the media were told to go away. Unless they are waiting for Dawes and the other new recruits to join in then they will be down there.

Wow that Woods/Grimes/Johnstone 3 way trade really worked out for us. At least that was 1 trade where we came out looking good. I dont think the other are worth looking at. Only Neeldy knows that.
