I'm guessing that Riley's contract was more than 1 year as the club knew his leg injury would take some months to improve enough for him to play. It would hardly seem worth it to Riley or the club to come over from SA for only 1 year but don't really know.

Has there been a subtle change to our home jumper? Take a look at Bernie's jumper in video below. At the V part of the red there are some markings and they look like the very top of the 'MFC' logo. Again look closely at the blue part just below and it looks like a faint 'water mark again like the 'MFC' logo. (These are easier to see without starting the video) http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-06-23/monday-analysis-vince-watts-stand-up Similar markings are on Watts jumper in the earlier interview. again easier to see in the red V http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-06-23/we-fell-away-in-critical-areas-watts Anyone have any info?

Jonathan Brown- Reitrement
Lucifers Hero replied to The Song Formerly Known As's topic in Melbourne Demons
This is one on the most heartbreaking images of a footballer I've seen...a champion who keeps on giving and doesn't know how to take a bacckward step. Glad for his sake he is giving it away. Gave his all when the Lions were up and when they were down. Even without 3 premiership medals he would still be a champion. Enjoy the rest, you've earnt it. -
Lets be positive...by that time we will be so successful we will have a few stand alone Friday/Sat night games, maybe ANZAC Eve and 50,000+ members and Eddie can keep his precious Easter Monday and his supporters can stop the ridicule about it being our Grand Final!

Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>
Lucifers Hero replied to Jonesbag's topic in Melbourne Demons
Does anyone else think the very rare (only a couple of other cases in world sport) torn tendon in his (Watson's) hip could somehow be a result of the cocktail of drugs Essendon pumped into him. Can't be proven but you have to wonder. -
Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>
Lucifers Hero replied to Jonesbag's topic in Melbourne Demons
You would think that those players no longer at Essendon will break ranks as soon as the Federal Court hears the Essendon/Hird claim on June 27. They don't owe Essendon any loyalty and there is no risk of being delisted/not played/ostracised by mates etc. I can't see the likes of Monfries being out for 1 minute longer than necessary if there is a premiership on the horizon. Wouldn't be surpised if these players get their own legal counsel and go their own way. AFLPA won't be happy but those players need to look after themselves. They might take the 6 months then sue Essendon anyway. No downside at all. -
I think he is still dating Mark Williams' daughter.

Roos said a few players were tiring so a few changes wouldn't surprise as Ess have a 7 day break and we have 5. The 5 days vs 7 may make it tough for us to win.

Damian Barrett's anti MFC spin doctoring
Lucifers Hero replied to JackVineyForPresident's topic in Melbourne Demons
Even if Roos doesn't coach in 2016 he has made it clear he stay at the MFC in another role. Roos is a man of integrity and character. He won't go back on that. Calling Roos a gun-for-hire is probably the biggest insult anyone could level at Paul Roos. Barrett has stooped to new lows - somewhere below the gutter. He would have to consult a dictonary to understand 'integrity' and 'character'. He is a despicable being! -
Apparently, Fremantle turned down his manager's ask price of $700K. Looking like he can't chase a flag in the short-term and have the big money! 800k...700k...650k...? His manager seeming a bit of a dill. Melbourne may not want to match any offers! Guess it will depend on the comp pick...unfortunately as his price goes down so does his comp pick.

Frawley! He will probably be going, going, gone by then!

Roos re Frawley on mfc website today: “At the moment, it’s fine. We know where James is coming from,” he said. “We’re just sitting back and [we’ll] wait and see. In terms of your overall planning and where our money goes, and whether you go draft or free agency, [the] backend of the year is fine. “Hopefully he decides sooner rather than later, but I’m not fazed by it, at the moment. I think he’s enjoying his footy and he’s enjoying being around the club and if we continue to improve, hopefully he’ll stay.” This is looking as if the club isn't going to fight too hard to keep him. Both Roos (a few weeks ago) and Barlett (today) said they are staying out of his negotiations. Nice if he stays but... To me it reads as if the club is happy to take the extra draft pick rather than throw money at him as a free agent. Would the club be so bold as to make him a fair (but maybe low-end) offer so that he 'has' to go? Good food-for-thought for Frawley and his manager, eh! He is getting to the stage where he does not 'own' a spot in the team so for mine, I'm happy to see him go.

Dawes's work rate is always A1 and had to play against 2 or 3 today but it seems that his only trick is to run flat out on the lead in a straight line. The result is that he ends up too far from goal. Its also too predicatable, too easy to intercept and too easy for 3rd man up. Today he wasn't helped by the slow delivery and no small players at his feet. But I feel he needs to me able to mix it up a bit - stand and use his body a bit more or outsmart his opponent a little as to when and where he runs. Today, it seemed that there was no real teamwork on the forward line; this goes for the talls and the smalls that played there. It looked as if there were so many talls the smalls were told to stay out of there.

He is quoted as saying: "It's all very well to come in and say we need to model ourselves on the New York Yankees etc…” so maybe the ideas are from a consultant’s report? I wouldn’t be surprised if CW somehow got it (from the consultants??), then quizzed GB. Probably difficult for GB to say 'no comment' and maybe he isn't used to how CW can 'construct' a 'newsworthy' story. Am guessing that some of the 'quotes' are based on stuff she had waiting to cut-and-paste and snippets she has picked up and now manages to construct an article that will only bring heat on us especially if other 'journo's' start quoting it. She had to write something to deflect from another Tigers thrashing!! Like I said earlier lets give GB/the Club the benefit of the doubt and wait to hear it from the horse's mouth.
