So MFCSS is some kind of intricate insight into the future...

Precisely, a bleak and hollow future...

Like Terminator: Salvation.

    Very good comments from Macca, Tonatopia and Jackie. A few others need to 'see' rather than 'look' at what is happening.

    As an aside, I'm just enjoying the annual Legends game - funny how even the older players know how to 'run and spread' (albeit at slower speeds!) - could it be something to do with natural football skill rather than fancy 'game plans'.

    Time to recognise that some people are very good at assistant/second tier level, but not up to the top level, and there is more than one coach in that position at the moment.

    Just want to clarify a couple of things 'Hardnut' . At no stage have I ever called for Mark Neeld sacking and in fact , I really want the bloke to be successful at our Club .

    However , After round 8 I did question our game plan and I stand by that . I haven't commented further since then , other than to mention (on this thread) that I believe any poster has the right to question or critique the Coach .

    And just like any of our players , a critique of the Coach (or any of the coaching panel) should be done without resorting to demeaning comments or insults IMO .

    Also to clarify Macca.

    I agree entirely with your last para re 'demeaning comments etc' and I also would never intentionally make or support such comments.

    I believe the appointment process of Mark Neeld was flawed and I question his performance as coach (nothing personal).

    As an MFC supporter I would be rapt if we succeeded under any coach, but I haven't seen a hint of it for decades.

    Yeah fair enough Hardnut . I just wanted to make sure that other posters knew my point of view . I respect yours and any other posters points of views yet I may not agree with them .

    We all want the team to play better . Some just want to blame the players only - I don't agree with that .

    A bit of a concern for me though is this 'Reward' for losing games (as in better placed draft picks) . It makes losing for some a lot easier . I generally don't like losing under any circumstances and better placed draft picks mean very little to me .

    Therefore , what can happen , is you can end up debating heavy losses with people when you're not even close to being on the same page .

    We should all hate losing - equally .

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
