We all know we have to change the clubs culture to a FireBrand.

We all know we have to get the Mids to be better and Win the clearences.

So we have to all pull together and clingon for the hard yards needed, to get this ship moving out of the Dock.

The engineroom needs an overhaul & a cleanup/out.

Neelds the Captain & Diesel mechanic, & he has the blue prints.

Anyone else fed up with the word "elite"?

I'm fedup with Melbourne not being considered one of those sides.

And if this was the team on this Weakend, >

Melbourne

HB: Rohan Bail, Jared Rivers, Colin Garland

C: Jack Watts, Jack Grimes, Nathan Jones

F: Aaron Davey, Mitch Clark, Stef Martin

FOLL: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jamer Magner

I/C: Matthew Bate, Jordie McKenzie, Sam Blease, Josh Tynan

changes required to stiffen things Up.

Maybe 5 changes > McDonald Morton Couch Sellar Bennell

No not at all. Elite is a word the MFC needs to learn as a basic mantra. Until it becomes second nature.

Yes dee-luded. I closed my eyes this morning, drew a long deep breath..........relaxed, and with that, accepted where we're at. "Whatever it takes" is our mantra, we will stay the course.

As supporters we're the lucky ones, all we have to do is support, the Club though, has a monumental amount of work needed for success and we need to support that effort.

We will stay the course.

This is how bad things are right now- I would have scoffed at Morton and Bennell being suggested as changes. Now I'm like whateves- ring in the changes, it can't get much worse can it?

sometimes changes are whats needed to make these boys realise they are in fact competing with one another for the spots.

Change Davey Out for a Bennell or Strauss.

Green to the Interchange/Sub: spot... shot over the Bow of HMAS Green.

Blease out for a strong body please. Let Bail, & Bennell or Strauss provide some run.

It's like a swear word, the more it is repeated the less impact it has.

Only if you refuse to take it on board fully. Talk is cheap yes, but elite actions are not and can never be.

Gee dee-luded two of that three are great options

Bennell is as bad as Blease and Strauss is still coming back from a terrible broken leg.

Swapping Bennell for blease is shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic

I think Bennell plays Subico well so I'd include him.

(Yep, clutching at straws)

Your right, exactly, but only because their learning. and Bennell has to learn to put his head over the ball.

But the Worst thing that can happen is that Blease also learns the half hearted ways,

So my post is to use the selection table to frequently make changes the Very second someone takes a short step, or fails to put their body inline with the ball or player.

Seston, and Howes did a lot of boundary running, and Tom Campbell continued his work with individual trainer in non-MFC

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
