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!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
