Agree

I have already explained the issue clearly and once again you dont get it.

It is when you make mountains out of molehill. And even if some one sat you down and explained you still wouldnt have a clue and would revert to form of hyperventilating over issues with some false sense of drama, espionage and skull duggery.

You have explained your POV Rhino. It is not mine. And the issue is far bigger than your molehill.

Statement from the MFC

"Firstly Brock Mclean didn't leave the club because of tanking. We moved him on because Carlton offered us pick 11 for a slow, stupid, injury riddled player. Who were we to look a gift horse in the mouth. On the tanking issue. Their is no issue. We were a struggling team experimenting with players positions. Hell if McMahon had missed that shot on goal then last nights Sheahan beat up would never have happened. And to Paul Roos, we might be struggling currently but our club will be back just as soon as we move Schwab and Connolly on and find some professionals to run the club. Oh and we need a President who swims with his head above water."

Sick of people taking swipes at Schwabb and McLardy.

From what I have seen relating to their off field jobs they have done good things.

Wish people would apply the same reasoning to Neeld that they do to our other staff and realize they have no idea what happens behind the scenes.

Sorry Stuie but I do not agree.

We are lead by two people who appear invisible.

Why not a passionate defence of the MFC.

Silence in this circumstance is not golden.

Just looks like guilt.

Would Eddy have waited this long?

I doubt it

No, Eddie would have fired off his big mouth without thinking, causing more trouble and making it an even bigger story.

The good things they have done have put the club in this black hole. If the country is stuffed the government gets sacked. If a corporation fails the CEO gets sacked. And it cannot come too sooner.

Putting yourself up for election ADC?????

Would you prefer to be $6 mil in debt like Carlton is at the moment?????

The admin does not choose the draft picks or develop the players

Could well be. But might not either.

At least we're in with a shot to get some guns.

Schwab helped engineer that. Quite skilfully too I thought in the trying circumstances of the Scully fiasco.

When was the last time eddy got the Pies into trouble.

They won the GF two years ago, have played finals football for most of the last ten years.

Are rolling in members, and cash.

The MFC should be as poorly served by there President

You lay blame where it is.

Our off field position is incredible when you take into account our lack of on field success in the last 6 years.

So who's good work is that?

The players have not help up their end of the bargain, and we've had 1 coach who was asked to "not focus on winning", and a new coach who's job it is to totally 180 everything about the way we play.

If you think sacking the CEO will HELP our club then I have some money from an African Prince's deceased estate to put into your bank account... We'll talk

Yeah Eddie really turned that club around... From the biggest in the land to errrrrrr the biggest in the land... Just like Buckley has turned their team into finals contenders

But they do choose the people who make the decisions Bossdog.

And you would have to say they have made some clangers there.

Why are they above criticism?

Stuie you are forgetting when he took over they were a basket case on the field and had big debts.

In his time he has turned them into a power house both on and off the field.

The results speak for themselves.

The Guy is a good President.

I don't want to attack your MFC bonafides but that is telling.

You were not aware of THAT game a the end of 2007?!

It's like a touchstone for most of us...

Riley, 3 retirements, win over Bulldogs weeks earlier, Matty Lappin retiring a week earlier so as to not give any impetus to win...

Makes we queasy just thinking about it...

Exactly what I was thinking

And then Lance Whitnall kicked a point from 20m directly in front.

What could we possibly do????

We couldn't possibly have tried harder, they just did it better.

Kicked 4 points, all very gettable shots

He's a good prez, for THAT club, but personally I wouldn't like his talk first think later attitude for MFC.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
