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???

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.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
