    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?

    Actually, it was 186 points.

    Those 2 points mean a lot.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
