Part one...

Not interested in Whiteboard Wednesday this week.

Only Scoreboard Sunday.

Not interested in Scoreboard Sunday.

Only Flag-unveiling Friday.

Note 1: I'm assuning the first round of 2015 is a Friday night home game.

Note 2: I'm assuming we win the flag in 2014.

Note 3: Please realise I am taking a dig out of those that are placing so much importance in what happens in 2011...

What's that saying? ... "Life's what happens when you're making other plans".

Watch the above videos Range and then right something....

I hear where you're coming from WYL. Don't mean to belittle your post. But sometimes I really do wonder about all this footy industry gobbledygook.

I just want to see our players put their head over the footy and show some appetite for the contest for a full match.

They will mate, but at the moment it is YEAR 12 v YEAR 7.

Hawthorn 8 Big Midfielders to Rotate...We the MFC had 2 Big Bodies...Those are the facts mate. The Board and the FD are well aware of all these things.

That's why i want you to watch the above....I want a flag just as much as you do Buddy.

Puts things into perspective nicely.

Reality is another two years before we challenge seriously.

Now how to apply Cams Premiership Model to my Ultimate Footy Rabble of a side?

Some white flag stuff and weasel word excuses drier than a pommy's towel here. How long will it take to develop red blooded competative spirit and some heart? It certainly hasn't appeared so far this season. Must be next years target. Should we ask James Hird what's his secret for a quick fix?

This post has:

- an extremely negative description with a colourful metaphor;

- a rhetorical question containing a putdown of a team after two games and ignoring last year completely;

- a dismissive notion of the clubs planning for 2012;

- another rhetorical question surrounding someone who has coached for two games.

Honestly, why do you still post? You're not happy. Just end it.

Go off to GWS Land. We know you're going. You're not happy here and at the Demonland Membership stall you didn't smile, so I can tell you're off...

This "extremely negative description" as you put it was nothing less than our President said a few days ago.

Thanks WYL

That is invaluable, being an interstate member and not being around the club I am starved of this sort of analysis, relying on hack journalists and club propaganda for information. To be frank I often wonder if it is worth renewing my membership. This post suggests we are, at long last in good hands. It also reinforces my opinion that CS is a key player in our revival. I am eternally grateful.

I won't be happy unless I see a red blooded go for a full 8 quarters to smash the bears and the upstarts in the next fortnight.

If not, start minting the coin. No more honeymoon for Bailey.

Tails for Roos

Heads for Malthouse

Can't lose either way.

I am sure CS and Jimmy and Dean expect victory over the next 2 weeks as well...But what is your long term plan to "Fast Track" our kiddies when our average games is only 54 at seasons start?

Magic wand is not the answer, or yelling.!

You want Bailey to fail.

"Fast tracking" all the timidity out of our game would be a good start and target to win a measly 3 more games than last season. Is that too much to ask for? I don't accept that we have to bring up our average games to 70 odd and still be playing like 2009.

I was a fan of Bailey but he's lost me in the past couple of months. I'm starting to wonder if he has the full confidence of the playing group. So far they don't play like they have IMO.

my opinion - blah !!

Geez I was about to post I hope it's not another analysis on games played, age of playing group, being too far back in rebuilding phase etc but thought no don't be cynical before I watch it.... but it was !!

What I see hear means little. great for off the field we are developing nice reports etc but I am sick of hearing reasons why we cannot put up some sort of show against a Hawthorn.

What should we do ? play with some mongrel, attack the opposition ruthlessly. Compare say a North who have had less draft concessions than us but to me they have more guts and much more fight. forget what happened on the weekend or recent record, for the last 20 years I have said I would be happy to pay and watch my side if they put in like Noth week in week out. We DO NOT.

We have a shocking front running record ever since Balme to Daniher till now and the time is now for Bailey to do more than just be 'competitive' as Schwab put it.

Any coach worth his salt would have finals as a minimum pass mark this year. We have over half the side this Saturday being top 20 draft picks against a decimated lions side. I would expect us to trounce them into the turf after last weeks game. They should be dreading playing us.

I know a lot like Schwab, but I find his style uninspiring and his theoretical talk of little practical use than to try and feel better for not being competitive. His personal loan of $140,000 does not help either.

Fair enough, but the AFL is a dam tough comp as we all know, and game time experience and training are all part of it.

I want the team to play 4 Quarters of contested footy too, but while kids are learning the Senior level it is not always going to happen.

What i saw in the 2nd Quarter last sunday is what we need to aspire to (As the whiteboard video stated)

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
