Casey, a growth corridor?

Looks more like the outskirts of a growth corridor.

I'd rather jump into Dandenong if I had to.

Bentleigh Club, cheap pokie machines right? Yep thats fantastic for supporters.

Get real.

Where is our home?

What are our colors?

Who wants to play for us?

Where are our crowds?

Darwin Demons?

Where is Moloney, Rivers, Jurrah, Wona?

Who has been recruiting for us?

Why is the club so divided?

Why do people laugh when I say I follow Melbourne?

Why havnt we developed players?

Why do we pick dud coaches?

Just off the top of my head.

You asked for just one initiative... regardless of what you may like to imagine, Casey IS the fastest growing area around Melbourne and will have vast potential as a membership recruiting ground. As far as the Bentleigh Club goes, I have no idea of the figures, but I do recall many were becoming rather apoplectic over the potential loss to the club if we were to lose our gaming license as a result of the alleged tanking affair.

You asked for one initiative and I gave you two... regardless of your own personal opinion.

Just off the top of your head, what through the hole in it....

Rivers was a free agent chose to leave, his right, Wona and Jurrah completely different set of circumstances which have been done to death.Moloney (who knows)....and it's "where are" (grammer police)

Why do you let people laugh when you say you follow Melbourne

Er do the easy ones.....MCG has been since foundation, er red and blue, I would have died to play for Melbourne, er Nathan Stark, I know had a good chat to him last Saturday

The recruiters

We have averaged what we averaged in the past for first two games and opponents..... huh?

Darwin Demons are a growing band of supporters based in Darwin

Divided, how do you know, oh that's right Caroline Wilson told you

Come on Toney, facts chap, await your next with bated breath

PS forgot this

Been to the Bentleigh, they do a really good roast pork and veg, didn't play the pokies, don't gamble, watched a game on the big screen......my lovely lady won the supporter raffle, enjoyed the day

Your on the money Hardtrack the Casey move is a brave and long term decision made by the club, which will reap benefits once we get competative on the field.

Whilst several Dees fans called in to radio last week 3 I remember were kids and all 3 were from around Cranbourne, that says something to me

Now hold tight Satyriconhome

I agree with all your above.

A red and blue letter day

[dee-luded 2,959]

I don't know about all of that, but as I understand it, the potential for memberships in that area is great... and I doubt too many locals would be concerned about the "isolation chamber" if the MFC starts to perform.

you doubt, do you? Have you been out there? Have you spoken to the Casey members about how Melbourne treats them?

Melbourne told us they were going to engage with Casey & develop the area. well the only think I've read about developing the area is entertaining the business people of casey..

... and then we make the finals & Melbourne pulls its players out progressively for weeks, til the Casey team falls over in the Finals !

and the locals are livid...not to mention the rest of us.

... just another all take no give, they should have called it old Macdonalds farm, come a be shawn.

Chap understand your frustration with the team on the field will explain that in a minute, but the Club holds Open Training and Family days out there, I do know, been there.

As for finals, previous years we have had players falling to bits during they year and having to pull them out for ops etc ready for next year, saw the new way last week, Friday morning at Goschs, the VFL picked Melbourne players and Casey Players training together,and I mean training.....hence the result on Sunday........as I have said before....facts not rants....it is still a work in progress and you learn.....I asked Rory Taggert why the dual training and he said Footy Dept wants it that way when they can......

Well, living in Sydney, I have to say I don't get a lot of opportunity to pop over to Casey and am obviously not across all of the issues. However, the problems you are raising are not insurmountable and will hopefully be addressed by the new CEO, whoever that may be. My point was that it is an initiative that could be a boon to the club... and I believe I did use the words, "vast potential", which is very much the case.

When I lose, I like to lose with grace and dignity, giving a nod of appreciation in the direction of my worthwhile foe, if by some miracle that ever happens with you, be assured I will let you know

You must have missed the articles about the school visits the players do in the area.. if that's not engaging the potential members of tomorrow then I don't know what is ...

Maybe winning games.

All these visits and shite are nothing compared to having A.Jakovich in the goalsquare and winning games.

[rpfc 28,736]

I cannot believe we are getting sh!t for trying to get into Casey, or for the efforts in that area.

We have no base of support - just inherited allegiances that are being shaken of late. And were shook disastruously in the 70s and 80s.

We need to be in Casey and the Heartland initiative is a good one, as is the movement into schools, and the regular clinics.

I don't care about players whinging about travel. They should be living south east of the city and its a nothing trip out to Casey from there.

Check out Ox here,

Im sure Don will find a suitable role for him, cant wait for him to get involved, obviously something is wrong in our football department and nobody has answers.

Completely no idea have you, and you want a new Chairman, so if he gets it the first thing you will agitate for is no more school visits and the players are not allowed to [censored], have I got that correct, you really do need to put that red cordial down now

And you question my business sense

All I'm saying is that the biggest way of attracting supporters is having character players and winning games of footy. Also by having a charasmatic president who is on the radio or TV.

And yes, if you think school visits is a better proposition than winning games, you do have rocks in your head.

I would be telling the players, just concentrate on winning games, cancel everything else.

And i do question your business sense, if you think Schwarz with a good board of businessmen wouldnt be fantastic for the club and its morale, your mad. just an old piece of furniture you are. Let us young blood have a say and pave the way to Glory. your generation failed, many times over. Please get out of the way, your generation of adminstators have lost us.

The majority of the off field things the MFC has done in the last five years are IMO good moves.

The Casey thing is a good one and contrary to what many think I believe the Darwin Exercise is also a great Move

If we were winning games, we would not even consider Darwin or Casey. This is just patchwork for despair.

We have 30000+ members who have re signed so your point is, once we start winning games we will get more that is bleeding obvious, but you still need to grow your brand with off field activities, it is you who is putting the emphasis on having a Messiah who looks good on tv, that third sentence is just ridiculous, so all the work in the community that MFC has done you would just [censored] up the wall, and you talk about the Board stuffing things up

My morale is fine, you and a few others seem to be in the minority, try reading the Training Thread, have a look at the morale and optimism there

You haven't read about the clinics put on down there, the school visits etc have you? You may well have missed that.
