Memo Peter Jackson - Do something about this list

Featured Replies

 

I don't think PJ was brought in for his list management expertise.

And the last time our CEO got overly involved in the football department, it didn't turn out too well

 

We should be a top five team! I'm sick of MFC supporters who accept the past fifty years of failure. When I was a little kid we were the top team and had been for a decade. Since norm smith was sacked we've been a bottom feeder club and everyone is surprised when we win a game or get into a finals series, let alone a grand final.

Viney and Tyson can't get to 100 games fast enough

That is a good point. Both look very tired and are pushing through their first full season as midfielders. It's a long season for our young blokes and they need help.


I agree with the original post - it is really, really important that our CEO, as head of corporate decision-making, involve himself more in the football-specific decision-making at the club.

Because it has worked out so well in the recent past.

Sigh.

I thought you were being serious until I read down.

Fewwww...

 

In 2014 if you are getting smashed in the midfield it is going to be a struggle.

Peter Jackson and the recruiting staff can't just click their fingers and improve the list overnight.

Generally the last 2 draft/trade periods have been an obvious improvement on what went on before that. Can't see that Todd Viney and Jason Taylor have done too much wrong.

Why Peter Jackson?

We don't need our CEO stuffing around with the football.

Haha too true.

Non competitive , can't run, do not spread, lazy, cannot kick goals!!!!!!

Sub standard bunch of footballers......with big pay packets

How the hell do you expect people to turn up to games?

How the hell do you expect members to sign on again?

Stuff me...this is farcical for supporters of this club.

Not sure it's up to PJ. He's gone and reshaped the FD. It's now up to the FD to shape and reengineer the list.

Young guys should have more energy. Being younger is no excuse.

Being young is a very valid excuse for fatigue late in the season. It takes years to build your fitness to an elite level not one pre season. All our younger players are feeling the pinch. Viney,JKH,Salem and Tyson can't keep it up all year. Viney touched on this in his interview after the game. Viney at 25 will destroy the viney that ran around today.

Ill-informed comment.

Not sure if you watch the Tour de France, but the young rider classification is for riders under 26 ... that's about how long it takes.


Trade Watts. He's our past and if we can get a good up and coming midfielder for him then adios.

How many vegetarians are there in the AFL at senior level? Legitimate question.

Exactly ... Remember what the last CEO did????? This is why our list & culture was screwed!

Jackson has got the right people in place for the long term success... As frustrating as it is ... It's the list Roos inherited & his team will sort out who can stay & be developed & get the right players in.... Will take more than 1 season to fix a 6yr train wreck!

lol...now name them.

Thanks 'jazz', that's very funny.

Thanks 'jazz', that's very funny.

Do my best work on a sunday between midday and 1.00. especially after a loss.

Yeah right on. I have only just realised that i have accepted 50 years of failure. My god what i was thinking!

Thank you so much macintosha for helping me see the light. Now that i have i expect that from here on in we will rarely be beaten and the flag that is rightfully ours will happen in 2015. I'll book my tickets now.

Thanks again macintosha. Keep up the good work (by the way i do wish you had told me earlier as i would have loved to have seen a flag this year)

  • 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.
