Whats going to happen is in 2-3 years time they will have to offload at least 5-6 young players to keep $cummy and fat Phil in the salary cap, the club will be in Tassie in 5 years, its a bloody joke.

They all said things like "he has integrity" etc etc Garry Lyon said it and now all this comes out. They were decieved all along, the club must be [censored] off.

I reckon about the same, 37,897

face it Bailey was a terrible coach, all the players said they loved him but I reckon there would be a few who didn't, he made some team demoralising decisions and thats why players didn't play for him, there has to be a reason why they chucked the towel in so early in games and got thrashed and that is lack of motivation by the coaching staff. That is the main reason most of the coaching staff has gone. They will be a different team next year, not saying they will make top 4 or even 8 but they will play out games to the end.

no its not but it will take two pre-seasons to get them up to standard. I don't know what Bailey and his crew were doing but I'm bloody glad we got rid of them

Watts will play floating HFF and wingman

Gawn is around till Jamar is finished which could be in next 2 years, Martin will hopefully be second big forward and 2nd ruckman, Clark will stay up front

No way, wrong attitude, he's finished

Bate will play, hopefully Jetta and Bennell won't

Blease is definately a wingman and there has to be someone better than Batram in the BP, also like Davey back up forward, he's wasted down back and can't see Neeld leaving him there.

yeah, he needs to learn how to relax and think when he gets the ball, hope he does well, he wasn't going to get a game with us because our backline is in a good position

he was the media's scapegoat, for what reason I don't know but CC must have been doing something wrong because he's been moved out into another role.

it has already started changing, with all the pro-active work and total reconstruction of the coaching panel people will start to look at us a lot differently.

It will still be two years away before we start winning more than losing, next year will not be much better than this maybe 9-10 wins and not as much thrashings

Walls is a [censored], changes his opinions weekly

I'd love to wipe that smug look off Quartermains face, you'd think he actually has something to do with Hwthorn when there up, and it will go but probably not for a couple of years

He's desperate to leave though and if Footscray go hard and give us something decent he might just get there.

He had a go earlier in the season about leaking secrets but it happens at all clubs, the only coaching change that hasn't been known by the media first is Lyon to Freo, every other one for the last 20 years has been known by the media first, it just happens exactly the way Watters is already known to be Saints new coach announced today but everybody already knows.

I've been thinking this for ages and I was in the car listening when they replayed a guy who rang the day before after Denham had gone who said Denham hates Melbourne. I got home rang up " Dave from Highett" and said to Denham that I agree and was sick to death of him sticking the boots in to MFC all the time. I told him we had gotten rid of all our debt, totally reconstructed the coaching staff and were on the way up. He said what about your list? I said there all still young 18-22 and learning thegame etc etc, he came back with where are all your 24 -28 year olds, I said we had them and were after Clark to help forward line etc etc. I was sort of cut off then and he dribbled on but it started about another 4-5 Demon supporters ringing and telling him what we thought of him and apparently the texts were coming in strong and hard against him. KB stirred him up and said he was in a bad mood for the rest of the time that morning, he's a [censored] and he got what was coming to him. He's been slagging us off for months.

Boring, the only thing we will do is get rid of 2-3 players and thats it, we never do anything worthwhile in trade week

congrats to him because he's played in 2 flags but he's going to go down the ladder now with the Cats, they are very old and will be bottom 6 in 2-3 years

Its like the whole club is in a different dimension, things are happening and the MFC is nowhere to be seen, we never do anything constructive in trade week

just wondering if I got that right, is Gunston at Adelaide?

He is going interstate, he is currently having medicals at an interstate club so hopefully we get something good for him, maybe Gunston from Adelaide which would involve a pick as well.

just young and it was a long season with the last 2 months very depressing
