I think "very poor" is pushing it. Easy to look at the fails but look at the successes:

Players drafted 2000-2008

Jack Watts

Jack Grimes

James Frawley

Colin Sylvia

Rohan Bail

Jarred Rivers

Colin Garland

Nathan Jones

Aaron Davey

Mark Jamar

Stefan Martin

Brent Moloney (trade)

Still question marks over half that group.

I think there is a very fundamental break-down at the club's core.

Spot on. What is the core of any football club?

Its membership ... they need an honest & open evaluation of themselves.

However, it wont be done ... instead we will find "scapegoats" to blame as always at the MFC.

Sorry I meant to finish at 2007 the last draft Craig Cameron was involved in.

So in 8 drafts or approx 56 picks(including rookie/preseason)you are happy with 10 players that are half decent, no stars Frawley is the closest we have to a star.

Go back in time 42 years and make sure I didn't follow my old mans footy team...

To save Viney the burden of care taker coach I would rotate the coaching job among the remaining coaches for the remaining games. Keep Connolly until the end of the season to keep a handle on the way things are run.
