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)?

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
