Rock Bottom??

[Colesy 2]

Can it get any worse for our club? I can't believe the growing amount of issues, news, sadness that is seemingly sending the club towards self-destruction.

Hate to raise all the negatives, but this is my list of recent events:

Criticised game plan

Racism rumours involving Neeld

Racism/Dumping of Energy Watch

Jurrah Machete

Sylvia Car Accident

Moloney Bar Incident

Senior players dropped from Leadership Group

Senior player performance

Green captaincy criticism and subsequent sacking

Trengove/Grimes captaincy criticism

Garry Lyon criticised over short term role

Scully Departure

Bailey Sacking

Schwab/Connelly issues around the Geelong loss time

The Geelong 186 Loss

Reports Neeld has lost the players

Neeld post match press conference criticism

James McDonald exit

Bruce exit

Tanking

Recruitment scrutiny

Watts high level scrutiny

Clark overpaid suggestions

Wona departure

Low Membership

Players apparently worked too hard over pre-season

On-field jumper presentation criticism

Blease missing team meeting

Bruise Free footy last year

So, you are a "glass half full" sort of guy then...

[olisik 4,060]

and how well has the MFC handled everything.

Couldn't have been any better in my opinion

[Sir Why You Little 34,434]

Win games of footy and i will believe we are improving. Until then anything is possible, today was proof.

Fully agree.

[rpfc 27,447]

I disagree.

You tell me what our club stands for?

[Samsara 65]

At least when you truly hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

As hard as the last few weeks and months have been, we will continue to support the club and if the day comes when we do secure that elusive 13th premiership, it will be all the more sweeter!

I honestly couldn't agree more. I don't think any footy club could ever have been through more in a 2 year period than us even the clubs that are dead like fitzroy. Absolutely rock bottom!! Couldn't be more ashamed of barracking for this club. Absolutely disgusted!

Well, I am ashamed of you, if you are disgusted by what has just happened.

Living up to your principles, even if it costs you, especially if it costs you, is to be valued and not disgusted.

[Footynut 302]

To be honest the MFC doesn't need fair weather supporters like you. If

You are ashamed, you don't need to be here. This is not the time to sook and play victim. This is the time to stick with the MFC. They need supporters to be more dedicated and supportive than ever. They have dealt with all situations listed better than any of the other AFL clubs and the league itself.

For the first time ever we are debt free with a $6 million asset base. Is it all perfect? No. Do you think we should just pack up the club? No way.

Now is the time go hard and dip in again for the dees. After all this is OUR club. No one can take away the passion and heart and soul of the club no matter what. We will survive and we will succeed. OUR club doesn't need spineless supporters and players and the fact you pretend to be a Melbourne person is insulting.

If you want to be ashamed go barrack for someone else. It's not easy and anyone who sticks with the club now truly does have a heart that beats true for the red and blue.

I'm not ashamed of my club

I might be gutted, disappointed, despondent, angry, upset and miserable

.....but not ashamed..............................tomorrow i predict the sun will rise again and the sky will still be suspended above

GO DEE's

[McQueen 17,862]

Everything is happening for a reason.

I have no [censored] idea what it is though.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,394]

I suspect St Kilda supporters could generate a bigger list than this one without even trying too hard. And Richmond supporters, starting with lack of finals footy. In short, all clubs have dark days. It's how you deal with these things that matter. In my view, MFC has dealt with most of them very well.

I'm not ashamed, my heart beats true.

[Trisul 636]

I've reached rock bottom in regards to the Andrew Football League.

Re MFC? Can't happen.

Stynes passing

-- WTF - the great man died after fighting cancer for almost three years.

Its not negative on the club, its what has happened and what followed has made the club proud.

Here we go another [censored] on here having a dig at another supporter for having an opinion and expressing it. You guys have no right to call yourselves Melbourne supporters and pass judgement on what a true supporter is etc. I clearly don't measure up despite the fact I've been to every game in Vic for 3 years,been a loyal member contributed to debt demolition,fob in a demon etc etc. I have every right to be ashamed and disgusted by this footy club for the list of reasons in the OP. I don't know if you've read the comments by the energy watch CEO but maybe you're too ignorant to do so before attacking someone else. It doesn't matter what we do from here, we signed this Fu...rs company as our MAJOR SPONSOR. The company is a dead set disgrace in many ways and we thought they were good enough to sign and promote. I'm sorry but anyone who doesn't think this is rock bottom is delusional. We as supporters have done enough and can do no more.It's time for this club to stand up and make it happen now if they wish to survive

[Guest Thomo]

At least when you truly hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

As hard as the last few weeks and months have been, we will continue to support the club and if the day comes when we do secure that elusive 13th premiership, it will be all the more sweeter!

Tell that to a Fitzroy supporter.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,238]

Melbourne has acted with integrity. Demetreio and Mifsud have not.

[Zinger 5]

Hi,just joined demonland.

I've just donated $200.00 to the club as a show of support and solidarity.

It's been a tumultuous time lately.

It's still a long road .tunnel up ahead.

[Jaded No More 57,789]

On a positive note, we are very good at being at rock bottom.

[Guest Gotzy15]

And to clarify I'm not just ashamed about the energy watch saga but all those other issues especially the tanking,the on field performance,the lack of senior player leadership and most of all the way our supporters attack one another.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Tell that to a Fitzroy supporter.

I was telling it to a bunch of smug Lions supporters in the MCC last week. I know I wouldnt be smiling if my club folded and i then got to see a bastardised ineterstate version of them a couple of times a year at the G

You are confused, Gotzy.

And I can do more as a supporter when times get tough out of our control, hell I just did this morning.

You have nothing to be ashamed about this morning.

Your club stood up for something more important than $2m - itself.

I agree I would have been ashamed if they hadn't taken the action to dump the sponser.

You forgot the blazer criticism! :-)

And Gotzy15, seriously................you need to pull yourself togther............ashamed of the club????

This club and its supporters have dragged the club up off the canvas, and are setting about building a strong future.

Sure, we are taking a few more hits now, but toughen up, and roll with the punches!
