    Didn't find out much unfortunately. Still think roos is a chance apparently. Sorry to disappoint.

    Going to dinner with my mate from the golf club tonight. looking forward to posing a few questions and hearing some inside info post Neeld. If I do find anything out I'll pass it on.

    In terms of trading Watts I don't see it as being about Watts - more that we have many options in defense and in the forward 50 already so where does young Jack fit? we need run and mids like a man needs a drink after 4 days lost 400kms from Alice Springs.

    I'd trade watts for Yarran in a heart beat. Too much sentimentality is part of the reason we are soft.
  5. Norm Smith's Curse
    Melbourne matters sounds whimpy and mediocre.
  6. Norm Smith's Curse
    Was reported on SEN he was offered presidency.
  7. Norm Smith's Curse
    The list is devoid of personality and strong leadership added with a culture accepting mediocrity. I've never seen a hard Melbourne team in my long years supporting the club. We need to build an entirely nee engine all from scratch as a club that no one would want to go to. doesn't bode well.

    You can't polish a terd.

    Honestly this all means the light at the tunnel is far away. I'd like to make a special mention to all the people that have been running the club and taking my membership coin for the last six years or so. you told us you were right but you weren't...
  10. Norm Smith's Curse
    that and making the team go backwards...
  11. Norm Smith's Curse
    once again the tone if your dribble is unnecessarily condescending and once again its based on a point that anyone who know footy would understand is bs. If laidley would have better success 'taking the club to the top' than a Rocket or Choco id shout you all beers.

    And to think that Jose bloke on here argued that he was our future.
  13. Norm Smith's Curse
    Yes he should know. And predicted a few things. Told me when Neeld would go and why.
  14. Norm Smith's Curse
    Funny thing is I was told by my contact that Roos was very much still a possibility.
  15. Norm Smith's Curse
    It wasn't as good as I was expecting but I still enjoyed the game. Fitzpatrick is looking a tidy player. Watts tried hard, Davey, Sylvia and Viney were also very impressive. Without a doubt Viney will be a star. I don't mind that he hasn't been nominated for rising star.
  16. Norm Smith's Curse
    I enjoyed the game - we were in it for the entire night. I like Davey's game, Viney, Sylvia, Watts and Jack Fitzpatrick.

    My good mate played footy with Rory and went to school with him. There are whispers that he wants to come home but remember that MFC told him and his family categorically that we would draft him then pulled out at the last minute. I believe a family members comment at the time was that they'd never deal with MFC again...
  18. Norm Smith's Curse
    When he said he hadn't talked to anyone at MFC since he spoke to Peter he was hiding the fact that he may have been speaking to AFL people since then about the job? For what its worth I don't think he will be out coach.
  19. Norm Smith's Curse
    After tonight I don't think Roos is in the picture.
  20. Norm Smith's Curse
    Hearing the amount of 1.4 mill but its not from anyone reputable. Word was he is interested.
  21. Norm Smith's Curse
    Like it or lump it pretty much everything I've heard about the mfc under the Neeld era from Ralph has been identical to what I have heard from sources from the club so if he says Fitz was not rated by Neeld and given he was rarely selected I am inclined to believe his account. Jon Ralph knew a few things that only inside people would have told him.
  22. Norm Smith's Curse
    Another observation I'd offer is that I knew our list couldn't be as universally bad as it seemed. Sellar and Gillies getting games while Fitz lingered at vfl level while kicking 2-4 goals most games does seem a little odd in hindsight.
  23. Norm Smith's Curse
    I rate Yarran as a runner out of the back half but its still unclear what Watts could be.
  24. Norm Smith's Curse
    All year I was waiting for someone to show signs of coming on. Didn't expect that player to be the Fitz! but I'm glad for him.
  25. Norm Smith's Curse
    the neeld bus nearly got us beaten by GWS on our home ground. There is no way we would have got close in either game because it is what it is and its a rebuild of a rebuild.
