What do you want from the MFC 2013?

Featured Replies

Well my two bobs worth is - 36th year as a paid up member in 2013. I want tangible improvement.

I want to go to games and watch a team who look like they belong at AFL level NOT 2012 where they have looked and played like VFL.

I want the MFC to work over the summer like never before to recruit aggressively to top up a poor list.

I want our fitness to be equal to the top clubs.

Please MFC it is time...to lift the bar!

 

Two wins in a row. Ten for season.

Minimal injuries to critical players.

Jamming it up the Dons (again).

Hope.

 

22 players taking the field each week who actually want to be out there, and who have done something, anything to in the past month to justify their position (James Strauss, I'm looking at you).

Well, actually it starts in the trading and draft period. I want us to be aggressive in moving on players who are not going to take us forward. I want us to recruit players that have an elite work-ethic, who will be ready to play a role in the seniors season 1.

Beyond that, I just hope we have better luck on the injury front. Our injury situation has been diabolical in the last 5 years. We need everyone up and running at the start of preseason to give us the best chance of improving next season.

I'm hoping that the players will have adjusted to the increased training workload so they're not playing 'tired' as it seems they are now.

I think the players are going to have a bigger emphasis on 'team structure' and 'tactics' this pre-season, so hopefully we will look a lot more organized than what we have this year.

'4 quarter efforts' as opposed to the 2 and a half max. we've been getting for the majority of this season.

AA type seasons from Clark, Sylvia, Frawley, Jamar, Jones, Garland and Grimes. Big improvement and 22 games for the likes of Trengove, Watts, Howe, Bail, Blease, Gysberts, Tapscott and Strauss.

Not asking for much really ;)

Id like to go to the g always thinking and not hoping we will at a minimum have a crack. I want viney to take out wojo (still haven't forgotten) and I want Nathan jones to be a all Australian

Simple, we need to be Competitive. We have heard the word from Bailey and it has been passed onto Neeld and no mater how many times they said it the bottom line is we are not competitive for long enough. I'm tired of going to games that are over by Half time. We all accept that we will lose games, but to walk away disappointed with our teams inability to compete from quarter to quarter for 6 years is soul destroying.

I want a premiership, but I'd settle for beating Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood, North and any other team I hate. Geelong, for one.

 

The ability of the club to win back the respect of the AFL, opposition clubs, media commentators and the football public. I'm sick of being the butt of people's jokes at school! SICK OF IT! When the hell is this club ever gonna man up!

And West Coast.


Premiership same as every other year but failing that not to get pooed on by a seagull just before the other team goes on a 10 goal run like last night ( I hate twilight games)

Next year , plainly and simply, a lot has to go right not like this years year from hell !

And I'm not crazy about Adelaide, either.


Where do I start?

No losses over 30 points.

To go in every game knowing we have a chance.

Consistency in performance no matter where we play (MCG, Docklands, Subiaco, AAMI etc).

A midfield that works - HARD.

Improved fitness and strength.

Trengove & Watts to shut up the knockers.

Jurrah to stand next to Clark and light up the forward line again.

To beat Carlton & Essendon.

Minimal injuries especially to key players.

Marked improvement from Strauss, Gysberts, Tapscott.

Cook to prove to me that he actually exists.

Finals.

Talent and leadership. We need to bring more of that to our list and develop it well. Most other things fall into place if this happens.


How bout a win over Geelong at Kardinia Park (or whatever cheap, corporate name they'll give it next year)?

  • New faces on the Board
  • New CEO, Schwab does not ask to be paid out in full
  • Sustainable business model, no more tin rattling
  • Beat two out of Richmond, Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood
  • Less injuries, continued player development

Starbucks Park??

How about a game against the Cats at the G?

Knowledge that the team will be out there to compete as hard as it can most weeks you go to the footy. Improved skill and fitness.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
