In what has been a totally wasted decent draw for the MFC - it is TIME to clear the decks.

Coaches - Williams, West, Royal, Mahoney - all have to answer for a pathetic season. Sack them.

Players - too many under-performers to mention. Dont know where to start in the culling!

I just hope and prey that the MFC is ruthless during the trade period and move on or delist those who have [censored] all over the jumper this year!

I only want those to stay in a MFC jumper who will kill for success and bleed for the jumper and club, not [censored] all over it.

Why not cancel the draft, and allow players to play for which ever club they follow.

The draft is based on obligation, not club loyalty.

Lets just take next year off and go holidaying through 2012. Lease the players out & off.

By the way, why did the assistants go so bad to warrant Us sacking all of them? I'd like to know before we sign on for this.

I will look forward to the day that Royal is sacked, has ruined the best part of our team, undid all of Wellman's good work, Mahoney should be sacked, has never once shown us any form of forward structure and doesn't have the ability to work with our forward line so it functions in a way that complies with our players in there, Mark Williams, i think is the coach for centre bounces, never once shown us anything in any shape of form of how to get it out of there unless Jamar taps it to Moloney

Players Traded

Mcnamara-Proved today why he was kept in the VFL for so long

Maric-Had his chances, this year was his year, blew it.

Bate-No comment.

Dunn- Plays for the free rather than playing for the ball, had his chances, blew them.

Johnston- Shown nothing this year, the only player on the list to do so.

Spencer- Campbell is 20 times better than him, Gawn has overtaken him, Martin and Jamar are startig 22, time to go, shown nothing and can't kick.

Warnock- Never given a real go at AFL level apart from 09. Will be sorely missed next year, is the best insurance for a key back in the league, will look for a new home and more AFL game time.

Players to Target

Fevola- Will be an enigma and has proven he is capable, 4 on the supposed All-Australian full back, please, sign him up!

Boak- Port is terrible, is too good for them, is too good a player, but i think has signed a contract, won't get him

Myles Sewell- Dominates the VFL, great clearance player and is a run-with type. The better version of Bartram, frees up Bail to the wing/half back

Dawes- Wants cash at pies and they can't give it to him, is proven and is far too good to overlook.

Anyone else have suggestions??

Only one suggestion : CALM DOWN

Have an early night, then go back and look at your post.

It might help you put some logic into your obvious (and not without reason) frustration.

Seriously? So, who would GWS have? or Port Adelaide? or Melbourne, for that matter.

Home grown talent or club rejects or mercenaries.


Posted

Meaning? So for MFC would that be kids born in postcode 3000?

Just the people who grew up supporting the Dees. So:

Judd

Franklin

Pendlebury

Gaff

Grimes &

Moloney

Gee we'd have a pretty good team!

Heavy culling is for people who have given up on development. Melb has made a serious commitment to development. I don't believe there will be any heavy culling. Trades will be applicable in about 3 years times when we know how enough of our young kids have progressed and we know what we want. eg Pies, Ball Jolly Brown Tarrant Krakour

Can we clean out second-rate posters on Demonland while we're at it? :P

A very Harsh call on all our assistants...Deep Breath and realize one thing...They were working under a guideline of Dean Bailey, He has been moved on so things may change.

Let the MFC secure a new Head Coach before any more Hiring or Firing is done...Coaches or Players.

This is NOT the year for a clean out. With all the GWS picks and the fact that the draft is very shallow we should not have a big clean out, we might also want to upgrade a couple of rookies as well so we have to take that into account. Minimal changes this year, next year is the year for big changes if we want to go down that path, there'll be much more talent available deep into the draft.

Posted

First: appoint new senior coach.

Second: put the team around him that will help him get results (may require some tweaking to the assistants and the footy department)

Third: List review, taking a reality check of the players, their potential roles and where we see them in 2012 and beyond

Fourth: Clean-out of players. Trade / delist etc. We have lots on contract, so don't expect magic if we cant trade.

Fifth: Recriut and draft what is missing.

It is a severly compromised draft, so I could imagine the rookie list as being a source of a few of our selections.

The clean out will come, but in its own time and maybe not as drastically as some would want when their 'blood is up'.

we need to get rid of the players who just can't play their best every week.

their allowed to have there bad days but when you keep hanging on to a player because your waiting for there good to finally arrive it's just not worth keeping them.

Time to move morton, bate,dunn,warnock,spencer, newton, maric, campbell. im not trying to be harsh but these players arn't going to be in the team unless there is an injury. we need players fighting for a spot when someone is playing bad not because their filling in someones spot because of an injury. no more 'just incase someone is injured' player we need players that we actually need.

we need a big bodied mid, and a eddie betts type

and we should be doing everything we can to get them

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
