  1. In that article, Robbo makes this extraordinary comment:- 1. I don’t believe this accurately reflects the situation. 2. The comment more accurately describes public reaction to Robbo’s dismissal from AFL360.
  2. A set up in the Herald Sun's dreadful campaign against the Melbourne Football Club dishonestly suggesting that there was a mutiny at the club based on a poll taken on line. "Thousands of Melbourne fans have backed former president Joe Gutnick's call for the embattled club to sack coach Simon Goodwin." The poll was open to the public and there's no evidence as to how many of the people who voted are Melbourne fans. This is a disgraceful and dishonest set up against Simon Goodwin and a breach of journalistic ethics. The only person who deserves to get the sack is the person responsible for this outrage.
  3. Here's the thing. They will never be back the way they were in 2021 and the first half of 2022. Time has moved on, the game's changed and other teams have caught up with stronger midfields and have superceded the way the game is played. There's no Angus around the place either, and no ANB. Charlie Spargo hasn't played for almost a whole season. People are banging on about a review of the club but I'll bet that Goody and his assistants are reviewing how they want the team to play and how the midfield can catch up to the rest. That's what we can hope for (along with some strong recruiting from JT and Lamb).
  4. You might want to check the wording or rephrase that remark.
  5. Are were turning this into a competition like the mens?
  6. Simple explanation - His manager - $ Media - clicks
  7. Thanks for your time and efforts over the years.
  8. Cringing at the thought of Melbourne and Collingwood having the last waltz together. Go Dees. Step on their two left feet.
  9. Fun fact about the Casey Demons and the fractured VFL fixture: Last week, Casey played Brisbane up north and there was something about the game that bothered me and I couldn't work out exactly what it was. Then I realised that Casey had already played against Brisbane earlier in the season (it was Round 8). What's strange about this is that there are more teams than rounds so why would you play one team twice? Then I discovered that Casey also plays Footscray a second time in Round 19 and that they don't play Geelong, Southport, Sydney Swans and Werribee at all this season. This isn't a competition - it's Mickey Mouse club stuff!
  10. In: Fullarton, Petty Out: Gawn, Woewodin
  11. Speaking of Brayshaw, when is the AFL going to make a decision on the situation regarding whether the payout on his contract is included in our salary cap? Surely, this impacts on the club's recruiting through the midseason draft if it wants to go down that path?
  12. It's not just because he's tipping us but because he understands what culture means in a club. Think back 12-15 months ago and Collingwood who had issues with De Goey and Ginnivan as well as ongoing off field issues with racism. The club dealt with those things while the playing group kept its eyes on the ball and played the game the way it should be played. Concerned about culture? Think a club like North Melbourne with its many young players, the very talented player they just lost and the bloke who's coaching them. Good Lord!
  13. If we are under great pressure then we're pretty laid back about it compared to some of the others.
  14. I once asked the question at an AGM about Irish recruits and was told it was an expensive exercise. It might have been 10 -15 years ago but if you pick the right player it can be a bonanza.
  15. Rest assured that on draft day, our picks will be somewhat different to 5, 13, 24 and 32.
