Message from the President...

[Guest Jackie]

Stonewalled. But let's wait and see what happens later in the week.

[praha 11,240]

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.

Is it just me or does Rhino constantly attack WYL???

It is not just you!

[P-man 13,366]

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

[Ron Burgundy 8,585]

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.

[Flying Cloud 152]

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?

[Range Rover 1,935]

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

Time to flush out the toxins once and for all.

It will get there. The newspapers will start to circle tomorrow.....

[jackaub 1,402]

Why doesnt he just tell us what the hell is going on, so weak no wonder the club is p--sweak it comes from the top

The supporters will understand if he comes clean more platitudes so disappointing just sad really

At least he fronted more later im sure

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.

Love to know what was said off camera

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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?

Are you addressing me Rhino??

It's all my fault now is it...

i have always backed this board, but now they are in for a hard slog.

We have a player mutiny..

Somehow i don't think it was, you've been spared this time. Perhaps Ron B?

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

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

no point in losing it rhino

get a grip, man

bitterness solves nothing

I got $$ money on WYL!!

[Goodvibes 3,596]

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.

[Guest Jackie]

What's going on here? A Rhino with no thick skin?

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.

[Hardnut 327]

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!
