LOL Neither do tagpoles.. Another smokescreen perhaps? [censored] it, I give up.. I'm just waiting for an announcement. I heard Garry Ayres is a strong chance too. Whatever.

LOL are you Adam from Twitter?

can't find it- all I can see is the rehashed story from esterday

GWS have that stitched up surely. Sully's high ambitions will come to fruition from next season onwards. Next.

Link? And I've been made redundant and paid out in the past- it hurts and feels like a betrayal. Try telling Harvey his contract was honoured. Integrity in football is diminishing. And bloody fast. I want (if it hasn't happened already) the MFC to take a leaf out of Freo's book and go after MM by any means possible. Diplomacy is dead!

I read your posts again, at your request. That's the thing about writing on an internet forum.. it's never too hard to find and quote the people who talk shite. Your main purpose was to come in and have a pot shot at Melbourne. The OP was your vehicle to do that. I'm done with this argument.

I was merely commenting on the idea that Lyon has "sealed" this leaky ship- but yet information still gets out. This attests to the fact that Bailey wasn't a gossip queen squeeling to the media at every opportunity. Either the info's been leaked, or yet again it is just more speculation.

... because the MFC should be all over this now. They did drop the ball on Lyon to be fair..

wow! Take that kick in the face LOL Slapped twice. I like it though, cudos on the effort.

All I understand is that your oblivious to reason. There's never a need to go through the back door- that is unprofessional. You're still under the assumption that MFC should have preempted this saga. There was no smoke- this was done on the sly. How were we to predict that direct correspondence with Lyon was needed. Hindsight. It's a wonderful thing. Did you suggest we initiate negotiations with Lyon directly 5 weeks ago? Probably not. Therefore it's unfair for you to assume the same of G Lyon. I can't understand how you fail to see this.

I like it, but Kaspersky should be removed and replaced with energy watch (photoshop?) and I love that Jordie Mac, chip and Howe get a run too. Why is Jurrah and Trenners kind of blurry?

RL and MH had the same management. The only way a deal could have been done was through the back door. There was no need for us to go down this route, as from the outside everything seemed kosher. A lot of people on this site will take any opportunity to pot this club.

On one hand Garry has supposedly sealed the leaky ship and put a strangle hold on information coming out of the club, and on the other hand he is leaking information to a co host on Talking Footy. I just don't know what to believe anymore. I'm trying not to believe that which is most convenient for us just for the sake of it. What's the bet our new coach hasn't even been mentioned yet? The odds are probably as high as any of the possibilities put forth thus far. We will have an answer soon though, until then we are just playing with ourselves. Not that there's anything wrong with that lol

Mark Harvey was the patsy in all of this. Feel for the poor guy. It could have all been handled with a little more dignity and grace.. but in the end everyone's happy. Except Harvey that is.

So what you are essentially saying is that we should have preempted the fact that Ross was going to act as his own agent in this instance. I can't see how it was possible for us to do this.

Lyon was as "available" as the next bloke who is under contract was. We went through the correct procedures and flagged our interest in him, your criticism of the MFC in this case is unfair as Lyon was looking after his own interests- possibly even before we were in the position to look for a new coach. I hope we take a leaf out of Fremantle's book and go HARD at Malthouse!

How [censored] is this thread? Who the [censored] is "racetrack Ralphy?" Talk about speculating, potting a man who isn't around to defend himself. Shame on this racetrack [censored]!

The OP was a little premature and emotionally charged drivel. Insecure poster, reactionary excitable post.

Fair point. And good points too whispering Jack- Will Viney go back to the development role quietly though? I mean will he feel slighted at all- going for the job and being denied?

Speaking from experience he loses holiday pay, sick pay, and he can't attend the christmas BBQ On a separate not, surely "smokescreen" is the word of the week, right?

Umm I tend to speak my mind, I try not to mince my words.. I'm kind of conservative- I try to use logic in assessing situations. You haven't missed any gems unfortunately. I'm glad your heat is fine. Ahhh.. why am I bothering... it's not like you are going to read this..

Like a boss!!

Exactly.. they are all untried so we are speculating who could be a good coach at the end of the day. Meanwhile who is in charge or rationing Warnie's lip gloss? It looks like he's just sucked off Slime from ghostbusters!

This forum needs a little eye candy Old dee... unless it's giving you heart palpitations..

Is that Shane Warne or Ellen De Generes?
