What do you want from the MFC 2013?

Recommended Posts

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!

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 ;)

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
