I am ambivalent about the upcoming footy season. In the past I have got myself up for the new season with always a touch of optimism however, the lack of success is finally eating away at this supporter.

We have lots of young talent...and the best of luck to them, however the club still reeks of sustained on field failures and off field dramas.

The MFC is still a joke amongst the media and those informed in the industry....this makes me ill with contempt, but where is the success going to come from?

The late great Jimmy Stynes was our saviour......is there a hero or 2 ready to bring home the bacon for the MFC or are we totally irrelevant in this competition.

I truly hope I am proved wrong.

 

I am ambivalent about the upcoming footy season .................................................

As always, I am buoyed by the upcoming footy season. Nothing could ever change that!

It takes time to turn it all around and we will. The process began last year with a no bull sh!t coach and staff. Standards need to be set before they are followed and I truely believe Neeld and co are doing that. Off field we need to continue to push with Casey and secure sponsors but wins are required to gain some excitement from potential fans,members and sponsors. Stick fat. No one saw Geelong's reign coming and no one will see ours coming.

 

Winning games of footy is the great cure for any ailing club.

It all gets back to the 'W' and 'L' columns.

I'm actually looking forward to the season perhaps because outside expectations are low.


8 wins and some real up and comers would be a great result for mine.

I'm actually looking forward to the season perhaps because outside expectations are low.

After watching the Bulldogs and GWS this week, and the obvious progress they have made, my own expectations have altered somewhat. I assumed we'd be ahead of both. I'm not quite as confident now.

I really hope there isn't more pain like 2012, but I won't be shocked if there is.

 

If we can avoid scandal, tragedy and the spoon I'm in.

Thanks for telling us this.

What would you like us to do about it?

I'm ambivalent only in terms of results going into this season but I've never been so keen to actually see the first bounce of a season. I think what has happened off field has been profound and the most significant change to happen to this club in the last 2 decades. As far as how the outside world sees us? It couldn't be any less so it's not hard to see the way up and I think the people to take us forward have been identified.

.......................

And your point is..............?

As they say in US TV shows........is there a question there.........?

We've turned over a third of the list and included epic names such as Viney, Toumpas and Hogan and now is the time you become ambivalent?

Lol

We have lots of young talent.....that are at a NOW professionally coached and run club, that, The late great Jimmy Stynes, and others including supporters have helped rebuild.

The MFC is still a joke amongst the media and those informed in the industry.....I don't give a crap about THEM, WE will gain their respect starting this season and i'm again onboard with plenty of optimism again, Soidee

I'm the same as the OP.

I think last year was very tough on me and the club and its supporters. I haven't been this disinterested in a season in a long time.

It makes me sad, because there is a lot of hope. But I smell a wooden spoon this year. I don't know why. It's just a lingering stench.


Agreed, last year was as low as it got for me in 30 odd years supporting the Dees.

But I have faith in the culture I see being built now at the football club. The results will come.

Medication helps..

Last year was an all time low? 2008 will take some topping for me. As for this year, I'm excited. We've cleared away dead wood and recruited players that should help us get back to the pack more quickly. I'm expecting a new look side that hopefully has some cohesion about it. I accept that we've been disappointed before and acknowledge that I'm setting myself up for a fall potentially, but honestly if *all* I could see on the horizon was doom and dismay I'd just give up following.

Are you for real? This is the most excited I've been in years. The FD is professional and putting the right sort of expectations on players. There won't be any games "given" to anybody this year. Players will have to earn a spot in this side. When was the last time we could say that? We've got a better list than last year and the pre-season form is showing that we're building some depth. This might not translate into a lot of wins this year but I'd rather have the foundations in place for a successful future than simply go for the quick fix, which we've seen in the past is just unsustainable.

Above all, we beat Port Adelaide with a team of juniors and fringe players FFS. The signs are there my friend. Cast off your ambivalence and replace it with enthusiasm and optimism.

It's going to be a great year.

Go DEES!

Edited spelling. It's gotta be right.

Edited by Crawf52

this year will be a struggle but at least the tanking is behind us

average midfield will kill us this year but i get the feeling the foundations are taking shape for a good club


I am seriously hoping that 2012 is where the club actually hit the bottom of complete darkness.

It was hard work supporting anything MFC particularly once the tanking rubbish blew out.

But i will support Neeld & the FD.

I think we have recruited well, and got rid of players who were detrimental.

More will be moved on at the end of 2013.

But yesterday showed us one thing. We do have some depth that can play.

How far they improve will be the journey.

I will be at Casey next Saturday. I hope the OP is also there.

Moloney has gone. We will now move forward.

We were never successful with Moloney in the club and while alot of you may dis-agree with me and probably curse me for saying this, I have always thought that Moloney was a cancer in the club. With his bully like antics, and way he went about things I do not think he grew on many young players to well.

I am hoping now that he is gone that our boys get much more confidence to do things without being yelled at.

Craig, Neeld, Rawlings, and Royal all look like blokes that would give a bake if someone needed it.

 

Hogan, Viney and Toumpas walking into the club should be enough to lift the most pessimistic fans. Along with Kent, Barry, etc. it could be the best group of recruits since the formation of the draft in 1986.

Here you go fellas... Either it will be a terrible year and you'll need these or it'll be a great year and you'll need these....

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
