Message from the President...



Recommended Posts

I thought he spoke well, as a President.

We didn't learn anything different. I think you'd have to be a dimwit not to realise that certain players have been hostile to the regime, and disappointed at exclusion from leadership group.

You can't expect him to be open and direct. He was always going to be diplomatic. That's his role.

In discussing the leadership group, it was clear that older players didn't take kindly to it.

There will be a lot of changes at seasons end, and I'm certain we'll sign a big name.

The On The Couch interview just finished. I thought Don McLardy handled himself very well.

Get behind the club for Christ's sake. This is when real character shines through.

As a supporter base, we're being tested right now. Now, more than ever, is the time to stick fat.

McLardy copping a lot of tough questions, very few have been directly answered. More information later.

That was shocking. Why didn't they do some proper enqiring interviewing. All they did was "Did you interview X, did you interview Y....."

What exactly is 'getting behind the Club'? Are you failing to 'get behind the Club' if you still pay for your membership and rock up to games because you express frustration to a mate in the office corridors, down the pub, or to posters on Demonland?

Conversely, what if you thought the Club was on the wrong track; should you do anything? If so, what?

I think it was a cry from the heart to all those that are suggesting they may walk away.

You are correct Rogue.

My view is the members of the MFC have been far too compliant for far too long.

If there is not some evidence of improvement / action over the next two months the membership should be calling for heads to roll.

Eventually the buck stops at the top.

And you're making great strides in your little bubble Mr Cwusader? Unbelievable for a fawning sycophant of Stynes/McLardy. Amazing for way you attacked those who had the temerity and good judgement to ask questions of the MFC Board back 6 to 12 months ago. Glad they can count on your support.

What time is your torch due back at the hire shop?

Please RR vitriol proves nothing other than to demean the person who uses it.

That was intense. Healy and Sheehan as Melbourne people themselves really conveyed the frustration of the supporters.

What's Healy had to do with us since he did a $cully in '85?

Names should be named (Moloney, Sylvia, Davey et al) at this point.

Unfortunately those names were all selected to represent the club on the weekend. You can't select them to play one week and then name and shame them two days later as the cause of all our problems.

I'm pretty confident the three you've mentioned won't be named on Thursday night and the message will be clear to all.

Ah yeah, fair enough. I'm disappointed but, for better or worse, I'm a Dees supporter and that won't change. I'm certainly getting a tiny bit apathetic about it, though, which I find pretty sad.

If all 3 of them aren't dropped and dropped for a good long vacation starting this Thursday evening I will be reconsidering my wholehearted support of Neeld.

The cancer needs to be cut out now.

OTC tonight, when asked about interviewing potential coaching candidates other than Neeld (specifically including Sanderson), the MFC President did not give any names and said only candidates who were ‘credible’ in MFC’s view were interviewed. What an interesting response!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
