What is the MCC's position in the present debacle

Sir Why You Little
in Melbourne Demons

Something i have wondered for a long time now.
We "came home" in 2008 and i agree that it was a good idea. But as a Member of both organizations i am hoping the MCC are involved in improving the MFC and not just a silent partner.

And i don't mean DL's Northern Stand stance. We are beyond that tripe now.
I want both the MCC and MFC to stand tall
Side by Side.
I do not get that feeling now.

    i'm afraid they're just a silent partner wyl

    probably more silent (and inactive) now than ever

    Probably hoping we will go away and stop costing them money.

    Well that needs to change. I want the MCC to pick up this club by its balls and once and for all demand as part of the agreement that it must stand up.

    I wish Glen Bartlett all the best but he must come out on the front foot.

    Silence is not the answer now.

    Supporters are jumping off 'land. This is serious now. Not a future problem.

    The tipping point has arrived.

    Why would a cricket club have input into a footy club?

    The MCC is way bigger than a suburban Cricket Club

    Go on! In what capacity should they get involved?

    "I don't know! Just get involved! They should be INVOLVED!"

    I get it, you're frustrated, but come on... Think about the implications of what you're saying.

    What do you actually expect the MCC to do??

    What do you want the MCC to do?

    Send us their tallest pace bowlers to stand in the key forward positions?

    Waive renewal memberships for MFC/MCC supporters. I second that!

    Reduce pots to $2 - I'll second that too.

    Not a bad idea actually if they stood still the ball would have to hit them a few times in 120 minutes.

    Cannot say that for the current lot.

    Let us MFC only members into the holiest of spots they is plenty of room on game day.

    This kind of knee jerk, run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds stuff is why you lose points on here WYL. I don't mind you in general but I told you at the start when Roos/Jackson were hired that there was absolutely no guarantee of them succeeding. As usual, you put things down as a cert. that things would turn around. Perhaps you should have a bit of think about these things before you say them and let the head rule more than the heart?
    Getting to the point of what has been said earlier: what exactly can they do? They give us 1 million dollars a year already.We are also 3 rounds in. Any agreement (if there is any we can forge which I doubt) we could come up with them would need to be hammered out over months. It couldn't be worked out over a week because of some reactionary ranting.

    In the past, we have been very unsure as to where our weak spot was: on the coaching/admin side or on the playing side. We have a bloke in charge who has proven he can coach (though he DOES need to drop talk of a succession plan in the short term and just get to work). We have a CEO who has done a bloody mighty job in getting a full book of sponsors if you consider where we are. Now and last year the word 'train wreck' and 'debacle' were thrown around a lot. Trust me. There are downward stumbles (which many clubs have gone through) and then there are train wrecks (which we, Carlton of the 00's and Richmond of the late 80's early 90's are going through). It will take time. That doesn't mean apathy or lowering standards. It means that the players should play to their optimum (which these days isn't high) and the list needs to be turned over (see my other posts about my thoughts on that).

    • 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.
