    I don't really care about your moderating or anyone else's for that matter - but if you're expected to act as some kind of moral arbiter then I think it's fair to expect some restraint.

    I sympathise with being unhappy about it. I am too. But let's focus our ire where it belongs and not on those who just have different ideas to us.
    My inbox is not full. I'll speak to GVG, may be a technical glitch.

    As for your idea that I didn't respond, I think you'll find I replied to your post.

    I'll say no more on the matter.

    Since switching to the new format I can't go far enough back in my post history to verify that. If you're able to point it out I'd appreciate that as I'd still like to know what you replied.

    If this is to satisfy cozy senior players then it's no good. If young players like Dahl were seriously looking at leaving because of Macca then he probably had to go.

    l think this a very relevant point. If the young players started to complain he had to go. But will we ever really know?

    I think we have a right to know what happened. After all we are the members, this is as much our club as any player coach or administrator.

    I agree with this line of thinking completely, but the way this has all been executed - from Griff to the board to Macca - has been a debacle of the highest order. THE highest order. We currently look like a bunch of tail chasing numpties.

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    I guess the thread poster was right, just 17 months early. As a principle of equity, Garry Lyon was smashed by Melbourne people for the Neeld selection. Some scrutiny of those who appointed the now failed/sacked need some attention, especially if they want to do it again.
