This guy must have a healthy bank account with Lance and Ablett in his stable

Dicky Colless should kick back and enjoy his retirement. Silly public statements such as this one just make you look like a dumb Pratt Dicky. The Roooster has moved on, and so should you.

There might be an age difference thing here - I'm in my fifties now and enjoy a good laugh but these guys don't cut it for me. I guess it's all relative.

I rarely listen to FM radio these days so I was quite surprised when I tuned into MMM footy today. The cast of buffoons included, G Lyon, Damian Barrett, Brayshaw and Spud Frawley. I was half expecting to hear some footy talk about the cracker of a game last night but instead heard the most inane nonsense I have ever listened to on any radio station. The buffoons laughed and joked amongst themselves mainly on in-jokes and frankly pubescent boys type carp. What I find remarkable about this is, MMM actually pay these buffoons good dosh to serve up such rubbish. Rant done with and no more MMM for me.

Quite simply this list can divided into 3 groups. 1st group ...smallest group who the club should keep 2nd group ...potential AFL players who may make it 3rd group.....largest group by a country mile. I cannot be bothered naming them but needless to say they are many and can consider themselves lucky to have ever been put on an AFL list and then did nothing after that. The Melbourne Football Club over the past 10 years will be remembered for recruiting and paying good money for VFL quality players. Disgusted and signing off.

My family will renew, however it feels like I flush my money down the toilet. It will be interesting to see how the club approaches mending fences with disenfranchised members.

I for one will be taking anything this mob does in the preseason with a pinch of salt. For decades now each preseason is lots of talk and promise with bugger all after the season starts. Whoever the coach is will have to sell more than a lot of preseason hype to me. All talk no action this club.

Hird continues to be defiant and plays the poor me card. I really hope the EFC is in the doldrums for years to come, every time there is a hint of contrition they bury it in arrogance. Their ethos at Essendon makes me sick as a follower of football. As for Hird .....well he has shown himself to be an A grade egotist. There will be a big black cloud over this club for years to come and onfield success will always be questioned, because they are a bunch of liars.

Jeremy Howe like most others have given up and that's the part that makes me very angry. Again and again players at this club believe they can get away with this lousy approach to their craft...it is pathetic. As for NC his credentials are ok but almost certain that membership will be slower on the take up if he gets the gig. The club has to give supporters more than a shred of hope, NC is not getting the likes of Jeremy Howe to play with class and vigour and that worries me.

MFC On The Way Back

I thought it was the coaches job to teach them about the rules...obviously they are just a dumb list or this is a coaching problem.

Cannot agree with your summary. I am a bit tired of the effort mantra, does this mean effort is ok but zero football nous is also acceptable. There is no damn initiative to play watchable football. Far too many excuses are given as to why these drafted AFL players are playing very poorly. At some time in their careers (if they continue to have one) they need to take responsibility themselves for what the scoreboard looks like. As for Trenners and Grimes, both these blokes were thrown under the bus and both need to get on the front foot and give up the skippers job for the sake of their own careers. There is no shame in this. Give Jones the top job with Clarke and the 2 jacks as deputies. They both need to play uninhibited. I again reiterate the desperate need to get an A grade coaching group with tons of experience

This group of players are totally devoid of playing football that is competitive. Craig now admits the task of the next coach is almost impossible with the current list. This makes me very angry at those including g the players who brought this about. There should be a hall of shame for those who have messed this club up. It will take an almighty decision by Bartlett and PJ to get some seriously good people and a few players into this club in order for any supporters to cling onto any hope. As for the playing list, they might as well go out on the slurp for all the use they are on game day. Disgusted beyond belief in 2013.

No matter who gets our gig I won't hold my breath for success, we have lived this nightmare for many a moon.

May have something to do with our highly tuned skills when selecting an MFC coach. If we got it right for once we may not ave to go through this nonsense so often.
