Rumour only file ...
I don’t mind the Jack Higgins link.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Argh! Still can’t warm to Polec.

If he doesn’t listen at the moment, he won’t have much of a choice now that Pert has got involved.

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
It’s a long way, he needs to talk a bit louder.

Maybe TMac in the equation with Preuss to GWS? Probably not enough to snare 9 on its own, but would move us closer to it.

2020 Brownlow Medal
It’s his wife.

Rhyce Shaw takes extended break
Sounds like Voss could be in the reckoning for North, who would be a great get for them. We really must step up this year - I think Top 5 is the minimum now.

Farewell Oscar McDonald
No need for that.

Isaac Smith
Absolutely.

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
Well, I don’t mind that we have a player that is hungry for it: I don’t think that he is a selfish player, but I do think he craves team/personal success. Of course, I’d love him to sign up for 5 years today, but I don’t blame him for waiting to see what happens. Since finals, we have finished 17th and 9th, with some quite good and also pretty poor performances. That’s two years, without a sniff of finals. For a player of his ability and ambition, he’d want to make sure that the next contract he signs (which is going to probably be the biggest of his career) is going to be with an organisation who will get him as close as possible to a flag. We need to prove ourselves this year.

Burgess and Brayshaw
I know, right?! I’m not sure whether that’s a specific recruitment policy (I reckon it was, in the past) or a long standing cultural hangover that still rings true at coterie and board level. Maybe once we have our home base and Melbourne supporters of all backgrounds can mix together, this might change? I love it when we recruit a genuine hard nut, like Steven May or Clayton Oliver but I must say, I was very impressed with Ed Langdon’s tenacity and contest, when my preconception had been of a one way runner. Perhaps it’s inverse snobbery, on my part?

Burgess and Brayshaw
Tend to agree - still a bit of the old boy, ammo stuff about our club. I cringed a bit at the last Captain’s Run podcast, with Gus and Wattsy chewing the fat like a couple of Church St retirees.

Also Oliver’s hero growing up. But I think he has said he’ll stay at Port. I would LOVE Hodge!

Dodoro RARELY Saadisfies!

Training Ground?
Could be something in it - like the Saints’ return to Moorabbin. Conversely, if our new hub is in the MCG precinct, we should be on a fast-track to Premiership glory!

Farewell Braydon Preuss
Good luck to Preussy, no reason why he can’t do a good job for the Giants. I like him - kooky unit!
-
Endurance the Key for Baker
Yes - he’s also not a bad tackler.

Members Email from Gary Pert
I disagree - Pert has now put his own reputation on the line, by owning the responsibility. Good leadership in my book. Whether it works or not, is another question...
-
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
I agree - whilst there’s no doubt Brown is a bonafide forward, he leads on tracks, meaning that the ball into 50 needs to be good. What we need (and I don’t think there’s any out there at the moment) is a big clunker! I would rather get Petty right - who can clunk - and try and get TMac back, who is a good lead.

Members Email from Gary Pert
He has also taken responsibility for conducting the coaching review, which means that all decisions will ultimately be on him. You'd think there will be pretty significant changes, as he'll want to get it right, not only for the club's sake, but for his own.

Post Season Trac
Good on him! He didn't look particularly thrilled though ?
-
Yze is a Demon Again
I don’t think he’ll have a choice @SFebes - the board aren’t going to fork out big dollars for someone to sit in the coaches’ box and not be allowed to say anything.

Dees Reviewing Senior Footy Department Positions
Where did you hear this? Great news, if true!

Yze is a Demon Again
Thanks for sharing the info - this would be a great get, if it eventuates. Ironically, I think it would be strengthened further if Goody took the third assistant coach role and someone like Roos came in at the top. I think Goodwin is a great line/assistant coach, especially given his rapport with the players. This is a different skill set to that of a head coach, but one which I (from the outside) think Goody is better suited for.
