The Next New Messiah


Retrospective

Recommended Posts

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

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)

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.

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

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.

Rev that is an amazing statement.

I detect a note of negativity there

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
