    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    You mean other than the 2-3 years he's willing to spend as coach of the club before handing us off to someone who actually wants the job? I'm sorry, but I'm not excited about the appointment. Nothing against Roos as a person or as a coach. If he was genuinely committed to the club in the long...

    Review Dees v the Purple-ites: the Good, the Bad & the Fugly - R21 2013

    Turn it up ! It isn't that Watts needs to be around a good side, it's that he needs to be around a good club with good coaching and a good culture. We haven't got any of those things. Anyone who thinks that Watts is doing the dirty on us, if he leaves, is kidding themselves. We drafted him and...

    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    I think that's willfully unfair to Neeld and completely overlooks possibly the most significant factor in his tenure (and Dean Bailey's). Namely, the virulent and disruptive presence of Cam Schwab.In addition, I think we are all well aware that Neeld was told to dispense with the nice guy...

    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    I would accept 'no comment' ,'I don't think it's possible to say anything until the end of the season', some variation of those two or a refusal to answer any questions at all. If he is interested in the job but wants to avoid media harassment (an irony given what he does for a living) he could...

    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    Further to what I wrote - if Roos won't come out and say he wants to coach, then he can just bugger off. I have absolutely no interest or tolerance for someone who is either half-hearted about the job or just trying to play smart-arse games with the media. If he wants the privilege of being our...

    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    I was a Fitzroy supporter (still a VAFA membership holder) who grew up idolising Roos the player, even after he went to Sydney (a move I fully supported). However, I will also admit that due to comments he's made in the media, in particular last year regarding Lindsey Thomas (after the accident...

    News Melbourne's Next Coach - Roos for 2-3 years with a succession plan

    If we can't get Clarkson I'd like Craig to stay on. Absolutely not interested in Paul Roos even though I'm certain he's the AFL's preferred candidate and probably the one we'll get lumped with.

    Review Melbourne v Sydney: the good, the bad & the fugly - Rd15 2013

    Good: Gerard Healy wasn't commentating and I consider that a massive win for all mankind. The continued improvement from all of our players. I don't think I could actually pin-point anyone who wasn't playing as well or better than earlier in the season (I include Byrnes in that because we're...

    Review Dees v Saints - the Good, the Bad & the fugly

    Because he doesn't read the ball well when it's in the air. Actually, it's as though he loses the ball when its in the air so he runs to where he thinks it might be. Assuming his eyes are fine (not as silly as it sounds) a bit of work with Col Sylvia (pound for pound one of the best marks in the...

    Review Dees v Saints - the Good, the Bad & the fugly

    It's not just happening when he's running flat out towards the ball, it's also when he's relatively stationary. He should be holding his position just behind where the ball will drop but, instead, he starts to move underneath then past it. Also there hasn't been anything wrong with the kicks (is...

    Review Dees v Saints - the Good, the Bad & the fugly

    Good: -The continued optimism of our supporters. - Effort was there even if ability wasn't. Bad: -Pederson's unwillingess to impose himself physically on a contest. Against Collingwood he should have cleaned up Cloke (or tried to) within the first couple of minutes. He eased off the...

    Neeld sacked

    The AFL told Jackson to fire him. I don't give a rat's arse who denies it or how many times they deny it because it's so bloody obvious - Jackson was appointed by the AFL, McLardy was told to resign by the AFL, Neeld was sacked by the AFL and the Melbourne Football Club has now been completely...

    Neale Daniher

    Well, whoever is making that argument is talking through their arse.

    Review Dees v the Ancient Enemy (Collingwood) - the Good, the Bad & the Fugly RD 11 2013

    Seedsman is the very definition of 'winning ugly'. Nick Maxwell, he's the definition of 'whining ugly'.

    Tell the Truth! - Questions you want to ask this Administration

    1. How could no-one on the board have been aware of Bailey & Schwab's actions (in other words, they didn't act alone so who was responsible for creating an environment and atmosphere where they thought they could pursue that course of action) ? 2. If Bailey was a mistake and Neeld is a mistake...
