Dee-luded most of what you say is correct however I do think it necessarily needs to be an x player of the club.

Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn and St Kilda seem to have done fairly well without a x player at the helm.

The wrath of everyone will probably decend on me for saying this but here goes.

Part of the problem may be our leader Jim.

I know he saved the club, not doubt about it.

But this year his illness may have kept him out of things more than in the past.

Particular the last few months.

As a result numerous people have wandered off doing there own thing.

With the current result.

What we need is a fit Guy at the helm.

Now I may be 100% incorrect and yell me at will

but I believe Jim's illness has contributed to the problem.

You may be right But Jimmy has been the Ideal choice to get the Club back on it's feet,,, and maybe our office boys have been guilty of going too hard at it, for the same reasons of our near demise. /this may have caused some rash decisions where we tread on Much Loved Players toes.

I don't believe these boys are a bad lot, but may have got a bit Over Enthusiastic, wanting to change the World Overnight. Steady as she Goes there Lads.

Back to Jimmy, we need to treat him with the Utmost Consideration and Involve him in our Ideas about where we go from here on in, and which is his best position within our structure Next Year.

He has to be Involved closely.

  • 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.
