Return to Glory

That's the Inside Football that includes expert comment from Crackers Keenan does it not?

There of course is no time to hurt a knee but hopefully it's a strain for Hogan rather than structural and won't prevent him doing a full pre season.

Thank you KC....which is always a prelude to me asking how Toumpas and Taggert performed.

Sub next week surely

Taggert!!!

Is that you Wayne? Mind numbing as always. Well done Joel. Best of luck for the future.

Simpson appears astute though whereas Neeld had the look of a sociopath.

Sometimes he's naughty and I will not tolerate naughtiness.

If true, I would think that's the mindset. A fair bit of succession planning at the forefront of MFC thoughts.

Ah, but a scratch, a scratch. A plague on you Old Dee.

I have no problem with Craig getting the job. Simpson on board is a good move. If all is true.

How's Taggert moving KC. I really would love to see him have a crack in the ones before season's out. And if Hogan has really hurt himself shoot me now

Thereby rendering your fact fiction. Fact.

For the same reason I now think it is time to adios Watts, I would welcome Robinson. Less skills, less awareness but will fight for our team rather than pick and choose what battles to enter. Every time.

And he won't IMO. I was incredibly disappointed with his appearance on the footy show and my initial thoughts were " how do we keep him". After reflection, my gut instinct says get rid of him. He may be a great footballer somewhere else, he could be this, he could be that but he lacks a killer instinct and, sadly, does not have the do or die attitude our club needs. The reality is that he has played many a horrible game for us and to publicly declare that he wanted the club to improve or he was out (let's be honest, that's what he did) was truly shiteful and were the words of someone who has never had to battle for anything in his life. There's discussion as to what round he would go, but I hope the discussion is around how do we replace him with an out and out junk yard dog that will fight for every possession and be proud to put on a Melbourne guernsey.

Deanox, spot on. Complete lack of awareness or just doesn't give a shite

Great timing knobheads

That embarrassing cheer squad can fick off too.

Well said. He may well want to go but surely you speak like that behind closed doors, not on TV when your club is on its knees.

Anyone else in a bit of shock?

Bloody hell, loves the boys, loves PJ but wants out. What a big kick in the teeth.

I'm trying to convince myself that he is genuinely weighing up options. Gut feel is not at all.

I'm wondering why Lyon would have let him on, presumably knowing the extent of his indecision.

Horrible. Could not have been less of an endorsement. I'm genuinely peeved.

I feel very flat right now.
