Over to you Peter Jackson - Supporters are Broken

Featured Replies

How long does it take to make a team so strong that rookies and players coming back from injury have to EARN a spot through consistent hard work and performances?

I guess we'll have to wait and see because only then can success be maintained season after season.

Well maybe my kids, or perhaps their kids, will find out the answer.

 

A pathetic soulless mess. If it was an animal you'd do the humane thing and put it down to save it suffering any further.

I've just about had it with this club. I really have. It's just a joke that never ends, with players that either don't give a [censored], or give a [censored] but aren't good enough to do anything about it.

The anger is well and truly turning to apathy. We lost to GWS today and I barely care.

yeah, hate to admit it but l watched the first half then couldn't stand it anymore so went to movies to see Wolverine, checked scores on mobile couple of times but l've had it this year.

I went for a walk in the rain for a burger at half time today. Left the phone at home.

I am over getting worked up with this list of under achieving cream cakes.

Jackson will fix this joint up though, as long as the incoming President is prepared to work with him in unity.

 

The footy dept would not be a very happy workplace at the moment

Jackson has told them their development and recruitment stink and there will be wholesale changes in staff

They are dead men walking and their minds would be elsewhere

Understandably this would rub off on the players and not be very conducive to their confidence and team spirit

Will probably get worse until the season ends

I hope management (Jackson) realise this and take steps to minimise the rot

I once worked for a large company that pre-announced a 20% retrenchment 4 months in advance (no-one named)

There was not much work done in those 4 months and morale plummeted

DC the concept of Pride of Place is simply not understood at the MFC

no wonder its cooked

How are things now?

 

Imagine if Ross Lyon was coaching the MFC

sorry.

Depressed as, thanks.

I am glad you are not my stockbroker. Trading early first rounders or late second rounders e.g. Toumpas, Watts is not a great way to get ahead. But I agree this playing list sh&ts me big time! Over paid pampered so and so's who will keep burning coaches until something or someone transforms the whole place.

Oh but the on the contrary Hood. I in fact have been a regular trader on the ASX and have been since 18 years of age. A company called Karoon (KAR) paid for my apartment last year. I dont rate Toumpas and Watts therefor to me a 2nd round pick is more generious towards melbourne than the oposition teams.

This, combined with your user name, is quite amusing.

At the risk of being howled down, didn't most of us think this would be the way it went? Our last 4 games have been poor and the club is in the middle of significant change. We were insipid but the sky is not falling in.

Thankyou rtg, it amuses me why everyone else seems so shocked

its going to take more than one or two people to change this club.... We don't need super heroes.... We ALL need a different mind set.... It starts with us, the members and supporters.... If we want change, then we have to change.... PJ can't do it for us...

Culture is overrated, get a midfield get a winning culture

"I watch teams like North Melbourne and many others who at least give their heart and soul to supporters. The MFC list are the complete opposite."

agree. All the coaching panel must go. I can see about 12 blokes again being delisted. They are no desperate or intense for AFL footy.

No. It starts inside the club.

Do not blame the supporters.

lol... We drive the culture... But believe what you won't.... The focus on individuals here, is embarrassing.... We don't need super heroes....

How do we the supporter drive the culture??

What changed the culture of the Handbag in Geelong???

It happened internally mate.

He's been working with J Cameron...

I am sure that made all the difference, not that Cameron is 195 cm, highly mobile and a natural forward.


Geelong have a community and a home base.... Which the team have feed off.... When the pressure came form the media to sack coaches, they stayed strong....

Our home isn't even ours anymore.... We have been swallowed by the stronger community's in melbourne.... Our supporter base is so desperate for success, that we eat our own.... What is it 3, 4 coaches now? We bow to media pressure to easily.... Our supporter need to bye into a plan.... Its us who jump at media pressure....

NO.

THE CLUB HIRE THE WRONG PEOPLE.

The supporters of this soft bellied club have stuck fat.

Before Bomba sorted out the handbags Sleepy Hollow sacked lots of coaches. They were broke in 99

I'm in my mid 40s and this is the first year in my life where I no longer feel pain and anger after repeated insipid performances. The hurt has gone and I'm close to beyond caring. I know we joke about the Norm Smith curse, but this club had been sick for half a century. If I were PJ I'd be getting the broom and clear the whole damn place out with the exception of about 8 required players and start from scratch. Exterminate the club before we terminate!

have a look around the "G" next time your there.... Im not sure what your idea of sticking fat is.... But an empty stadium isn't mine....

I know the loses have hit you hard.... You might have to dig deep and ride it out... We need a strong community of support... A super hero isn't going to save us(PJ)....

Sorry DC, watching the cricket.

Did the company turn it around?

And how are you feeling? Better?

yes and no, depending on who you believe and what you measure.....but they still survive

am i feeling better? after today?..........................but i'll survive albeit somewhat worse for the experience

never thought i'd enjoy this cricket team more than my footy

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
