Leadership Crisis

Crisis, what Crisis!

IMO we should all remember that we had a woeful list back in 2007, bereft of real talent that could 'Grow & improve to take us forward. It also had a very poor Culture which was of entertaining & 'survival',,, rather than 'Winning'.

This cleansing journey has been a 'Must' for us, & the dearth of 'Leaders' & leadership was a result of that list & culture. But the Ying & Yang of it (weakness), is that our weakness allowed us to then feed off the fresh pickings close to the ground level, rather than from the Tree Tops.

The Lush pasture gives us the nutrition to grow & flourish into a powerful Beast. With the right toughness & learnings going forward.

This lack of 'leadership' has allowed us this rejuve-nation more quickly.

Now it's Time to deevelop our new leaders from whats left of the best attitudes we can Must-er.

The Sum of the parts.

Agree totally changing by half measures sees your club being knocking on the door of the 8 without really ever threatening Top 4, it's been tough to take at times and even embarrasing with what occured last year at Kardinia Park, but as said in previous posts the last 4 years was really something we had to have and 2011 just smacked us in the face to say there is still a lot of hard work ahead

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
