Faith in McLardy

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Poll says it all

[Nasher 33,617]

No, and didn't even before it was cool.

[Soidee 1,496]

Sadly bugger all

[Striker475 696]

If they last to the AGM I know which way I'm going...

[stuie 7,374]

Here comes all the "brave" Melbourne supporters calling for admin sackings again when our backs are against the wall...

How about we wait and see how this unfolds before unleashing another Demonland lynch mob. Sick of this kind of mentality.

Tanking scandal, drugs scandal, club in the red, brand at an all-time low. And we're not going to call for the board? Jesus.

CEO wasn't enough blood for you?

Tanking was pre-McLardy, drugs is a very unproven situation currently, we were in the black last year, winning games will fix the brand, pretty sure the board doesn't play OR coach.

Pathetic effort from "supporters" to eat their own so quickly.

The club has lurched from disaster to disaster on this board's watch. There has hardly been a minute in the last two years where we haven't been under the pump in one form or another. What will it take for you to decide that enough is enough?

What disasters have been directly the board's fault?

False racism accusations? No. Jurrah troubles? No. Jimmy passing? No. Tanking? Maybe, though that's a very grey area. Winning games? Not directly the responsibility of the board.

Why did so many call for Schwab to be fired if it was the board's fault all along? When will your sacking hunger be satisfied?!

Stand. By. Your. Club. At least until the full story comes out.

You've said it all Nasher!

I think you will find McLardy stepping down from the Presidency in the very near future.

Nah, we'll just do what you want and sack the coach after 3 games this year.

Big [censored] diff!

It's not whether they are responsible for all of our problems, but how they've handled them.

And our board has done a [censored] job in recent times. We are rolling in a pile of dog poo and hoping not to catch flies.

No it wasn't. I didn't think it at the time, and now with this I'm certain.

Nom nom nom nom.

Haven't you been calling for Neeld's head in every second thread this year ?!

[stuie 7,374]

3 losses this year, 18 last year, and a lost looking team. Yeah we should keep him, 107 points is fine as an average losing margin...

[stuie 7,374]

25 games for 4 wins is enough of a full story for me.

You may still think he'll "come good", but I've seen enough now.

These are the things that have gone to poo that could have been influenced by the board

• Tanking coming up in the manner in which it did; this happened because we had the wrong mix of people in our footy department
• 186
• Sacking Dean Bailey over the phone
• EnergyWatch
• Sacking Cam Schwab, then extending his contract for another 3 years(!), then sacking him for some fluff reason (right course of action, but years too late and for the wrong reasons).
• Hiring Mark Neeld on the say-so of Garry Lyon, on the say-so of Mick Malthouse
• This latest epic Dank disaster

I excuse them for the Jurrah and racism disasters. The rest happened under their direct line of influence. So what that they're not the ones pulling on the jumper or coaching the side or whatever? They're the highest level of management at the club. They are charged with making sure the right people are in the right senior management position. Hardly a thing has gone right under their watch, I can't understand why you can't see that they are responsible. They are the the highest level of management at the club - they must take responsibility!

The thought of this group being the group charged with getting us out of this endless marsh of faeces terrifies me.

We really have the weakest type of supporters.

Hey Stuie...we don't eat our own, they lie deceive and treat us all as fools. I say they eat themselves.

Mate, you've been a member of this forum for three years now, have I ever struck you as a torch-bearer before? I've spent half my Demonland life deriding posters who go off half cocked about anything. Sometimes you've got to recognise though when the people who are pissed off might actually have a point.

It also shits me a bit that I spend a few minutes of my life trying to articulate a point and you respond with a patronising meme. Go jump in the lake.

It was just a general encapsulation of what 'Land is like these days, not a direct go at you Nasher. Even though we are disagreeing on this I respect your opinion as someone I've always found to be quite reasonable here.

Agreed - this hysteria is just boring now. But this running around, screaming with skirts pulled over our heads is now a commonplace reaction when the game is now being dictated by no-talent, sensationalist rumour-mongers with clear agendas to (a) settle personal vendettas and (b) make a name for themselves.

These grubby little guttersnipes in the papers and on the radio offer no real solutions or constructive ideas - instead they bang out any little rumour that they've heard, watch it grow and continually lay the boots in to whoever's on the floor. Disgusting. Pathetic.

I'm not saying for one second that our current problems are not of our own making, but for a group of young lads, already low on confidence, having to cop the backlash from one sensationalist rumour to another (Laughing in the spa - really?! FMD!) is not helping. The press are baying for whatever blood they can get for the next story, it just happens to be our club where they reckon they can get it.

So, let's at least pull together at this time and refuse to bring this ridiculous hysteria onto these boards.

Edited to remove rude word. Sorry if any offence caused.

When you call for heads it's a good thing but when we do it it's bad?

You're a joke, and not even a funny one.
