Well that was not surprising, wonder if he will end up at the cats.

McCartney leaving Melbourne at the end of the season.

He seemed to rub the other coaches up the wrong way according to reports.

It was players at our club, I get the sense he might be a little arrogant and expects smart as he comes from a private school environment.
Must admit I was very impressed with his graphs and deep thinking at a supporters forum he did when he first came to the club.
Just lacks getting the love I guess .. people skills.

I asked a mate about him when we first appointed him and his exact quote was "excellent Sergant Major but he's not officer material" and I think that our experience with him proved that. He seems to to confuse abusing people with apropriate discipline.

Brendan McCartney out of Melbourne in three weeks time. Not being offered a contract.

TBH I can't see another AFL club taking him on.

I've no doubt he'll find work somewhere in the industry. He's only 58 so would still have plenty to give.

Inside info says that Macca left the Dees on very good terms. Was highly regarded by many of the Cats Premiership players in his 10 years at Geelong. Was somewhat maligned at the WB but many believe he created a determined playing group that ultimately led to our 2016 flag under Bevo.

Fast-rising Lions remind old Dog of glory days

MARCUS Adams says Brisbane has a similar "feel" to the one the Western Bulldogs had in its premiership year of 2016 ...

"It was really enjoyable coming into work every day and it's the same here, I love coming in every day."

Not winning flags is hard work. Who knew?

If he loved and enjoyed it so much why did he leave ?

I can’t say I’ve heard this injury from a footy game, Liam Jones has fractured his larynx. Out for the last two games. He’s had a shit run with injuries this year, only good thing is no surgery for him.

I had a friend play for the Swans called Gareth John. One day at centre bounce Simon Madden ran straight through the centre circle and somehow kicked Gareth in the throat. It did similar damage. Gareth still can't speak properly. The same thing happened to Gary Dempsey in a Qld league game. Terry Wallace's voice of still hasn't recovered from the assault that Melbourne player (I don't care what his name was) committed on him that time.

It's a dangerous game...

Rod Grinter. I remember it well. 5 weeks suspension

I’m sure TD deliberately chose not to name the Melbourne player.

What a dirty, weak, player. I also remember him taking out Chris Mew in a final with a filthy shirtfront.

The Wallace round arm was as pre-mediated as they come. Grinter’s hand actually became infected because of Wallace’s teeth opening a large hole in his hand.

Wallace incredibly played the next week after multiple surgeries. Grinter was unavailable due to the bad infection that had developed.
