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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
