If you had the power, what would you do?

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.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
