How many coaches get killed by this list?

Featured Replies

I am fed up with the MFC players escaping scrutiny for absolute shocking efforts. It is always the coach who gets it in the neck. These players need to get a grip if they want to cut the mustard at this level.

Always wrap them up in cotton wool and blame others! They have better facilities than ever before, they have a dozen coaches teaching them how to play football, they have everything at their disposal and yet they are so bad on they day they have to perform, one would think they have spent the previous week getting flogged in a boxing ring.

How many coaches do some of these blokes need to learn? Fair dinkum, I despair at their lousy attitude and incompetence.

The last coach played a big part in creating the list.

 

There are no c*nts in our team, this football club needs some c*nt.

i agree with this & add Tanking to this fragile group.

It killed them.

Even the ones who came after that are mental.

Q for those in the know. Do we employ any sort of psychologist? I know they had a "Mental Skills Coach" last year but he's disappeared now.

interesting way of looking at it. Sadly close to the mark !!

Pretty damn accurate sadly

I still think that anybody at the club who was involved in 186 has to be moved on...The mindset is still there.

Look at this club compared to the top 4 clubs.

This list is shattered.

There's plenty of "can't" in our team. What this football club needs is less "can't"

I see your point, but of the 49 players who were on our list in 2009, there are only 13 left (Jones, Watts, Frawley, Sylvia, Dunn, Grimes, Garland, Davey, Jetta, Jamar, Bail, Spencer, McKenzie). That's 26%.

That does raise another point, though. I can't imagine many people in 2009 would have thought that we'd turnover 3/4 of our list by 2013. Shows you just how poor player/list management/development has been at this club.

and that equates to 13 mentally fragile links in the chain. Neeld tried to Blast it out, but it didn't work.

Our list freezes under pressure, no matter how well they train. They are cooked.

I hate it as a financial member of this club but it is the truth.

2 inside 50's in a first quarter. That is not Neil Craig. That is a mentally shot group of players.

Even the ones who came after that are mental.

all our coaches are mental.....that's part of the problem :wacko:

True... Scully did leave

True... Scully did leave

I would love him back.

Runs harder than anyone we have.

Rohan Bail runs as hard as Scully does.

Merely being able to run doesn't make you a decent footballer.


The recruitment of Byrnes and Rodan just hasn't worked. I was excited by the thought of them both being in the team but we haven't gotten anything close to what they had been capable of at previous clubs. Plus, Neeld outlined that they were there for leadership and for cultural reasons too, which I just think is wrong. Neither has shown much passion and neither has been a regular in the team. Pedersen was also unnecessary. We still don't have enough talent aged 21 or under.

The club tried a kind coach (DB), that didnt work so they tried a tough school teacher (MN), that didnt work, now the intrim coach (NC) who is well liked within the club and by the players despite good results didnt work this weekend.

It starts and finishes with this talentless, lazy and unfit list. To think these players get paid on average $200k to spectate....

What do these players have in common? They all started playing for the Dees after the 2009 'tanking' year. Get over it and stop consistently dragging on an issue which only effected less than half of our current players.

and how many of the older Leaders are still playing who were there??

It's a reality & still an issue. Sorry if it bores you.

Cancer keeps growing until it is completely removed.

incorrect.

I just wish the MFC would start playing football.

They havent done it for a long time.

The whole playing list just needs to harden up and play like men instead they play like a bunch of headless chooks

Having read through this thread I think while most of these reasons are correct we are also missing one of the most obvious.

If since 2009 the only have 13 players left on the list and have had 4 coaches, we seriously lack on field stability and cohesion.

If we wonder why the last seems so mentally fragile, maybe the uncertainty of list position and constantly changing coaching instructions goes a way to explaining why they play like they do.

The players have hardly paid a full season together, what chance have they have to develop instinctive pay or Trust that others will be where they should to support and receive?

What we need next most of all in my opinion is stability. A period of 3 to 5 years where the players can pay together and develop under one coach. Develop s core group, develop a culture and some consistency of message.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
