I must share my frustrations

People on here are very precious IMO.

Some of the criticisms made on here are fair comment, some are misinformed. Where they are misinformed, information has been provided. But there's no need for people to get their knickers in a knot because some people don't like the logo. FFS, last I looked, this was a forum for discussing the MFC. If people get upset at pink jumpers, let them. It happens to be the MFC's tradition.

For what it's worth, I agree that the club is going in the right direction, but anyone who closely observes our club (and especially those who have a bit to do with the administration) know that we are fairly poor in some areas. Pink jumpers were an absolute embarrassment IMO. Now that doesn't mean I don't think cancer is more serious than pink jumpers, but I'm not on the Cancer Council forum.

Some might argue that having a forum for football, and not world hunger or knocking off Middle Eastern dictators, is trivial. Stop being so precious!

Wait, are you saying that when Melbourne played with pink jumpers against the Bulldogs in 2010 that was an embarrassment?

Because when people refer to "pink jumpers" they are referring to the stuff up by New Balance last year in getting the red in the jumpers right, not the Cancer Council game.

CS was responible for the debt demolition, Jimmy the front man. He does a great job, if you can do better . Apply for the job.

The first foundation heroes dinner was held on august 5 2008 (cleared 2mil). CS was appointed CEO late august 2008. It seems that you and many others have forgotten in the past few weeks that Don McLardy was the initiator and main driver in the debt demolition. The whole concept was in progress well before Schwabb was even appointed. As far as off field heroes go there are few better than DM in MFC history

No, I'm talking about 2011, not the 2010 cancer ones.

Then why mention the Cancer Council?

Wasnt our old nick name the fuscia's? sounds like an apt colour choice

It's "fuchsia". After a guy by the name of Fuchs. No kidding.

I think everyone has had a chance to put their spin on this topic.

Thanks for your input, thread locked.
