    Big announcement - penalties to be handed out to Melbourne re tanking

    We probably did tank, they just couldn't prove it. They wouldn't be able to prove Carlton or others either. Surely Terry Wallace doing "absolutely nothing" is not coaching to his utmost, though. Decision reeks of negotiation but all they could deal with was the evidence they had. Time to...

    Big announcement - penalties to be handed out to Melbourne re tanking

    I must say I am a little bit surprised with some of these comments. It appears some people think we set out to tank from the start of the year. We were just terrible in 2009 (worse in 2008) and by far the worst side in the competition. Like others before us, we were teetering on the edge of...

    Whatever happened to the tanking investigation?

    Sorry. Missed this. That was my point, which I thought might provide some refreshing reading. As I've always maintained, if there is actual evidence - which we haven't read about yet - then we are fools.

    Whatever happened to the tanking investigation?

    Don't mind the feedback, Vardy. It was indeed me that wrote that article. There were a number of moves that I could of poured over, but my intent was not to do that, rather show that defenses can be manufactured in much the same the media is finding guilt. It says a a lot about what a mess...

    Toast Thank you Neeld.

    To the contrary. I'm having that amended!

    Toast Thank you Neeld.

    I was asked to write an article on Melbourne's re-shaping of the list. If anyone's interested: http://backpagelead.com.au/afl/7843-moneyball-marvels-or-more-demon-disasters #blatantselfpromotion

    Are Melbourne Serious - Chris Dawes?

    Just had a quick look through this thread. Ludicrous. I couldn't be happier with the club's off season so far. As Neeld said, "we've got enough kids". Pick 20 has less value to us than others and we can't bring another promising draftee into this environment - it won't work and we don't have...

    Seems like a good time to remind people...

    No choice but to put 'blind faith' in the coaching group. I am more than willing after the slop the players have put up over the last five years. If nothing else, no Melbourne coach in a long time has had the balls to do what Neeld is doing. Much needed I think. I think the Moloney departure...

    Couch To Debut vs Freo!

    Must play, and play in the middle. I also think the criticism of Magner's form is slightly unwarranted. He's playing the hardest position in the league in his first year - the Melbourne forward pocket as a defensive forward. The guy is built for one thing, clearances and stopagge work. Have...

    Greater Western Sydney wants rethink on Phil Scully money

    That would make sense if indeed he was an assistant coach. He's a recruiter and getting paid more than a usual recruiter if I am not mistaken. Especially for one who operates away from the club, working at home in Melb.

    Tom Scully's father offered $680k job in November 2010

    Pull the other one. The move was all for money, I am sure he would be a leader at Geelong. Make no mistake, the "I want to be leader" and "what a great opportunity" line = $$ Personally, I can't stand watching the best player in the competition playing for the Gold Coast. He may never play in...

    Mark Neeld to coach the Demons in 2012

    Ha! Saints. One premiership, the worst off season off all time, and your coach walks out the door leaving you high and dry and last in line for a replacement. Rabble Completely sick of douche's that take time to sink the boot in. Thanks for the congratulations. All class here.

    Mega Thread Official Thread: Melbourne Coach 2012 - Part II

    Re: Official Thread: Melbourne Coach 2012 Seems to me MFC are very comfortable either with what they've got or what they've got planned. Bailey's card could've been stamped half way through the year after some of the performances. We may have been into someone well in advance. Bailey was...

    Melbourne still waiting .... he's gone !!

    There's no one like Eddie and it helps he's behind the biggest club. No doubt MFC is truely pissed. Apparently Jimmy wasn't happy at all when he heard the news. He sacrificed part of his health and life to bring the MFC back to life again only for Scully to take the $.
