The Next New Messiah

Featured Replies

And the nominees for new Messiah are..........

Peter Jackson, for being willing to have a look at us for 6 months

Jack Viney for his own misfortune of being the son of Todd

and Jesse Hogan, the early front runner because he hasn't actually done anything and won't be eligible to until next year giving us a longer period to cling to hope.

Following the norms of demonland we should now pin outrageous hope on one of these 3 turning the cluster around.

Previous winners include: Dean Bailey, Mitch Clark, Chris Dawes, Mark Neeld and the new AAMI facility

 

will be a combined effort from everyone, with Peter Jackson leading the way.

But nothing will happen without a proper coach that commands respect and can lead.

I think we need a Messiah poll RR are you there?

Who in order of potential contribution should be the next big thing at the MFC

Who will be the next messiah?

You left out other previous winners, including Jack Watts, Tom Scully, Jack Trengove, Cale Morton and Brock McLean (for his financial donation, not his appearance on TV)

Thread lacks Jack Watts.

You are right of course. Jack Watts was one of the youngest Messiah's we've annointed...paralells make me nervous about Hogan

With a proper coach Watts, Trengove, Viney, Dawes, Clark et al can become demon messiahs

I've deliberately refrained from even mentioning Jesse Hogan for this exact reason, and the fact that Don McLardy pointed to this young kid as an example of our great forward-thinking mindset made me sick. It was on that day that I soured on McLardy forever.

And quoting Jack Viney as the future of the club at a presser following a pathetic smashing at home against the Suns......it's like deja vu but it's happening all over again...we keep driving the expectation that we are one player, one coach, one resource away from greatness......

They weren't the messiahs, they were very naughty boys!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Carry on!

The inaugural award went to Diamond Jim Tilbrook - and other past winners include Big Carl, Templeton and Moore, and more recently Watts, Scully, Trengove and Viney (and soon Hogan and Toumpas).

The saviour mentality is strong and ALWAYS fails.

Honour before Honours, folks - that's the fundamental the CS didn't get

"There's no Messiah in here. There's a mess all right, but no Messiah. Now go away!"

Yes, we keep Waiting For Superman and he keeps standing us up.

Jackson will have his way and that is good for the structure of the FD and any new appointments.

But our salvation is slower and more boring than any hero-by-night.

We require a board of high influence and involvement, a FD of experience and efficiency, and a proven head coach able to provide a confident playing group and a competent gameplan.

And while we are doing that - we need a unified supporter base with respect for those that will fall on their swords and for those are pushed.

Barry Norsworthy was a gun before his career at the MFC.

This is all just a flesh wound!!!

We should be ran by Monty Python, at least I could laugh while dying.

Many on Sunday night were laughing in disbelief at the spectacle unfolding on the field in front of their eyes

It was better than monty

RPFC we also need a strong mentally tough committed playing group who know how to play as a team

Jesus Christ himself would struggle to get this lot over the line.

Time to change my avatar I think.

Yesterday might have been the tipping point. I still believe things will get better but I'm not sure I want to watch any more for a while.
