Bluelegs

While I agree with both a like and dislike button I don't think the Reddit comments model would work here. I like the classic forum model we've got going here.

It certainly didn't help when we killed them by ninety points the very next week.

I don't mind the collar but I prefer the v-neck even if it is impractical Also, I agree the colour needs to be fixed.

Not to mention the fact that we would never get him. The guy has a very comfortable media career which he wouldn't give up to coach Melbourne's forward

Was I the only one who was reminded a little bit of the Port game a couple of weeks back? Nowhere near as intense, but there were some similarities. Especially considering the umpiring.

I think Viney has thicker skin than that.

I feel like even Malthouse may have known something about it. About a week ago on The Game Plan he said an ambiguous comment regarding Melbourne's finals chances and the coaching job before giving a sly wink. Very strange indeed.

If Gary Lyon praises his interviews and presentation then we'll be going through Déjà vu

I still haven't heard any word about whether he's mean enough. I'd like a coach who is actually willing to get angry at the players.

It wouldn't be the first time she's brought up a religious connotation in regards to football. She claimed Andrew Walker looked like he was praying when he took that mark earlier in the year. On topic: I'm not too sure about Neeld as coach, he looks good at Collingwood but do we really need another inexperienced senior?

Did you see their game a month or two back? There was already a fair amount of tension between the sides. Who knows how out of hand it could get next year.

True but the guy is also made of stone. I haven't seen him give away any information that he didn't want to.

If they were giving away a 40" tv that was made in Russia I'd be impressed.

Looking back. It was about the time the Scully controversy became a weekly issue that the team began to look less promising this year. Look at the first half of our season. Save a couple of games there were some very promising signs. The Sydney and Essendon games showed the team at their most competitive. The Gold Coast and Adelaide games were dominations which showed the kind of talent the young team had in them. Hell even the loss to StKilda wasn't without merit. But when people started to bring up Scully speculation every week it might just have been the catalyst that led to what we would all agree as a very disappointing season. Maybe I'm just making links where there are none but I believe we'll be seeing a far more focused side next year.

There is always the possibility that Rob Waters is full of crap. You would expect far more exposure for an announcement this big.

This, 3AW's reference was exactly the same as everyone elses on this forum.

I'm going to wait for some confirmation at least. There isn't anything on either the AFL website, the Melbourne website or the StKilda website.

I'd say that's a longer shot than malthouse.

Wait is there a link to prove he's staying? Was it on the radio? I must have missed it.

Oh man that ending had me in stitches. Well played.

I almost wonder what they are attempting. They quite obviously are reluctant to give Lyon an extension to his contract, but it's also clear they want to have him there next year. Do StKilda want to try and snag Malthouse in 2013? It's entirely possible. The man can't coach next year but would be hot on the market then.

I feel like today's events have set off the beginnings of a brand new AFL rivalry. As horrible as today was, the idea of the oldest team and the comp and the newest being bitter rivals is quite romantic indeed.
