MFC board meeting - 12 PM

Featured Replies

Geez the list must be long. Actually I am talking about those currently holding down official positions.

said this yesterday

2 water carriers were sacked, we are now on the right path

 
  • CS for an overcomplicated FD department
  • FD (needs to take responsibility for structure too)
  • Board for electing CS
  • Players being lazy (a cultural issue during and since DB)
  • Previous rececrutment (Prendergast)
  • The sacking of Norm Smith
  • The water boys/girls
  • The runners
  • The Freys... god damn them
  • Batman
  • Spiderman
  • Uncorodinated people
  • The bird that keeps relieveing itself on my car on a daily basis
  • The Age
  • Collingwood/Hawthorn supporters
  • Caroline Wilson
  • Car hoons
  • Today Tonight
  • Celebrity Splash

... You get the picture.

We are in this situation because of a combination of factors (FD, players, MN, previous recruiting from Pendergast ect.); focusing on one or several parties but excluding others doesn't really do it justice. The same approach must be taken to fix it too.

(I was being serious up until Spiderman...)

All recruiters over the last 10 years.

All coaches since Daniher

Anyone on the board since 2006

And of course CS

Stunning failures by all.

I forgot to mention the AFL.

WIth the expansion clubs our picks haven't been anywhere near those of previous spoons like St. Kilda + the tanking fine for not tanking.

At the end of the day we can sit here and point fingers but that won't help us improve and move on.

  • The board have elected a new CEO
  • PJ is sorting out the FD department
  • Neeld knows that he is on notice in regards to this short-term performance
  • Players know they need to put in more effort (correlation with their effort and determining Neeld's fate).

As for the financials we have a new sponsor, the FD restructure might help on only from a football performance perspective but also financially, and if we have to get rid of Neeld at the end of the year the payout will be reduced by $200k compared to not giving him a chance and getting rid of him now.

Baby steps. There are no quick fixes.

but mainly the Freys

Don't like the Freys either...the sooner they are out of the picture the better.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
