The truth of the matter is this should be in one of the other Bailey threads.

Maybe it should be in the Bailey Thread then again maybe the Todd Viney thread or then again the Football department thread or even Better yet the Players Thread or maybe it should be in another thread describing the thought process at the MFC

Really does it matter all that much???

They lost by 184 points in today's game. Unacceptable. No excuses if he coaches next week. No excuses.

I blame the umpire.

In fairness, the margin should have been five points less. Colin Garland touched the footy as it went through the sticks - I think the margin was about 150 at that stage.

Could've been a turning point. After all, momentum's everything in the modern game.

Why the use of Radom capital Letters?

We put in 5 million dollars, plus our millions of dollars every year through membership.

They've had four years to put a game plan into place.

James Hird managed it in 5 months.

Get stuffed MFC coaches, you are all shite. We don't even have a director of coaching, no surprises there.

There comes a time when people need to be seen to stand up and take charge, the Real Leaders from within a footy Club or any organization in disarray.

Jimmy is doing a great job of reuniting the place but for some reasons late last year, after some Big inroads on the list & financial debit sheets, it seems some have taken things their own direction.

These times when they come to a Head, give an opportunity to cleanse and start the next chapter. This needs to be done through someone's strength drive and passionate leadership.

To take the advice of a few great men >

< make it happen!!!

These turning points in Clubs histories have occurred before and now it's arrived @ our doorstep. (see the following)

This post is one of the reasons why I have kept my powder dry since Saturday, I am as devastated and disappointed as everybody else, but drivel like this disgusts me even more

If you are going to post try and at least make it something intelligent

I was looking forward, in a manner, to Redlegs account of the previous debacle and the ensuing aftermath. Would be very interesting. I remember the day ( like you could forget it)

Hopefully if he has the time :)

It will be forthcoming but not as part of the report from the game. Circumstances overtook us and it's now an issue of getting the time to sit down and go through that game. I better remember its aftermath the following week when we beat Essendon and Piggy Walters booted nine.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
