Retrospective

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

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
