Well it was rumored that sometimes players did not show up to training sometimes under Bailey, but that was back in 2009

Hawthorn

10 years in the doldrums says kennett? Wonder if he realizes that would mean 10 years of number #1 draft picks and a pile of priority picks mixed in with them for the MFC

Dont know if anyone has read this but whoever suggested that if all the presidents came out and stuck up for the MFC as a whole we could get off easier can think again. Kennet wants the AFL to come down hard http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/kennett-slams-disgusting-melbourne-tanking-20121101-28lw5.html

you must have just got the record for the amount of threads being opened about the exact same thing within the shortest timespan

This has all been discussed in other threads already

Don't think I have ever seen Wilson write a positive article on anything. Old hag just writes negative sh%t about everything she can that's footy related and twists it in ridiculous ways. The Age has lost huge amounts of credibility in my eyes this week due to having her on their books.

May end up needing this pick if we lose our first 7 picks from tanking. This could be used for Viney

Should extend his contract before he decides his sick of the sh#thole the MFC has become.

Got to feel for Old man Viney if our draft picks are taken away. His first year in charge of recruiting and his years worth of work and research will be down the drain. Imagine you just found out your years work was now worthless.

LOL yeah ok mate. Be thankful for having our first pick taken off us because of a meeting a few individuals had, who half are not even at the club anymore. Get F'D! These individuals need to burn and take the full grunt of this.

enough for me

Where is this reported?

Our warchest looks like it may go to lawyers rather then players

Difference is no other team has had people come out and try to justify the crap job they did at the MFC by pointing the finger about tanking. Anyone see the quotes about Moloney? The guy just wants sympathy FFS. Flat track bully when at the club, now he decides to have a cry and burn the MFC.

Sorry if this has already been posted but i found this a good read http://www.theage.co...1030-28hso.html Sums up why the MFC are the ones being targeted here opposed to other clubs. Only 2 teams have been investigated as they have had people openly speak out about it, Carlton and the MFC. Carlton have answered to the allegations against them. We have not.

I do not see how that is relevant to our 2013 draw...

Evans has the X factor our midfield so desperately needs. If you ever watch him the kid pops up out of nowhere half the time and does some great things.

I think this draw is great, we have at 6 - 7 games we will go in as favorites for. If we can sneak in another 2 - 3 wins who knows, we may even push the 8 a bit. This is exactly the type of draw we need to get some momentum going and get the boys feeling good and confident moving forward. We have a fresh list who are all feeling fit upon returning to pre-season, Viney, Wines, Trengove, Jones, Sylvia, Howe, Blease will be tearing it up in the midfield with Dawes, Clark, Byrnes and Pederson putting pressures on opposition defenses.

Looking at it the AFL want to punish a [censored] team for being [censored]. By doing this they will be making the [censored] team even shitter. Never ending loop?

Other clubs interview players and do psych tests ect While we end up with McLeans, Moloneys, Scullys who just like to burn the club who drafted/traded/looked after them for their own self interests.

Great news for Evans. Kid must be busting his chops. You can see the difference between a kid like Evans who has injury issues and a kid like Gysberts who has injury issues.

We cant lose Hogan, unless the AFL are prepared to take picks 3 and 13 off GWS, and pick 20 off Collingwood for Dawes, and then players like Dawes will be unlisted. Also the follow on effect of picks traded onward from that. To messy and effects every club. It wont happen.

We wont lose Viney, only way that would be remotely possible is if we lost all our draft picks this year (I think we have about 10 of them). It doesn't matter what pick we said we would take Viney. If they take pick 27 of us then we will just use 49 on him, or 53 ect ect. It is just going to be the next available pick we have.

No surprise their. I had a feeling it was him, what a way to leave the club he supported growing up in a kid, by burning it.
