Tipping Point Has Been Reached...

51 years of crap

We need to recruit LEADERS who will not stand for selfish soft attitudes

Players who cannot kick mark handball or run to an AFL elite standard must go, it has now reached that point.

A Coach can only teach. It is the players who activate those teachings. What we saw yesterday is not Roos' gameplan, it was a total shambles

and we do not have the leaders to stamp it out

We have to import. Anything else is yet another Bandaid...

Malthouse is available.

We can get Sylvia back as a rookie. (But make sure he has a big preseason)

Offer the entire salary cap to Dangerfield. He's such a guy, he won't accept all that much, so offer what's left to Wines.

Sack everyone on the list who isn't prepared to do .... [need to run poll thread to find out what those things are]

International search to recruit the best available messiah figure. Send the bill to Gill.

Apologies for lack of caps.

Dangerfield & Wines would have beaten us yesterday.

They attack at all times...

 

It's going to be hilarious on here when we beat Collingwood next week.

Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour, Nash.

Nasher is on the meds early this week! :)

If we beat The Filth next week it just proves my point even more

The players pick and choose when they hit the Go switch.

That must stop.

10yrs of poor drafting & port development is wr we are @ now!

Will require another clean out yr end to rid of the vfl players who simply can't play AFL level

Skill level alone is not enough & mental preparation to play AFL is critical...

 

Surely we've had a few 'tipping points' before this?

For some it seems as though every loss is a tipping point.

Just giving this thread the quality of contribution I thought it deserved.

What's your contribution toward a solution?

no, 20 years of allowing the culture to drift slowly downwards into a self serving & self protective one. where players wouldn't hold their feet, or chase an opponent in a true way... or attack the opposition body with real hunger & intent to hurt.

we continue to want to be the nice guys of the AFL, & it started by sacking the culture of Checker/Smithy...

it wasn't the loss of Smithy by name, that smashed us ! It was the acceptance of Soft, Cosy, NICE, etc that has smashed us ever since !

the hardness was imported Via Checker, who taught Smithy, who taught Barassi, who learn't it & carried it with him when he left.

the desire to have the club be pleasant, is what curses us. & anyone who resides often in its pleasant presence, will be seduced by its warmth & its grace.

this is NOT the way to make warriors !

Plenty to choose from Django just take your pick

I have no idea when the point arrives for players but there were a lot of members who reached it yesterday.

It is the way that the team loses

Lack of basic skills and structure since 2007...

We do not lean from adversity....


I am seriously entertaining the idea of hiring a plane to tow a banner around the MCG next Saturday at 2pm with something like MFC SQUIBS or JELLYFISH written on it. Hope my tax refund appears soon.

Public Supporter Backlash. I like it

It is time we put the club in the spotlight...

What's your contribution toward a solution?

You won't get an answer.

Nasher seems to be in the 'I'm content with being average' crew of demonland.

Don't know why anyone would find it funny if we beat Collingwood. Especially with Cloke and Elliot out.

How many [censored] 'rebound' games have we seen with this club? Why would anyone think that everything will be all okay if we were to beat Collingwood?

It's going to be hilarious on here when we beat Collingwood next week.

I'll tell you the threads already:

"This team will turn into something special!"

"How good was Grimes?"

"Hogan will be a star!"

"Wow, Jamar!"


Essendrug players play with more heart and pride than we do; just have a think about that. They have every reason to drop their bundle- and did for a few weeks, but they realised their standing in the community and re-grouped.

We have been utter shite for going on 9 years now. We are a pathetic club filled with talentless, leaderless losers, led by an uninspiring coach who is surrounded with yes men and fawning media. We still stand for nothing!

Where's the pride in having the oldest club in the land? Being the games stalwart? Why is there such a massive leadership void, why is it always up to the new guys to inspire?

Our culture is probably shitter than it's ever been. Who are our figureheads? Where's our influence, where's our voice? Does anybody even care? Whatever, were pathetic

I'll tell you the threads already:

"This team will turn into something special!"

"How good was Grimes?"

"Hogan will be a star!"

"Wow, Jamar!"

Sadly none of those comments will get a run next week praha

 

Who said there is a fine line between pleasure and pain?

In the case of the MFC I think the line is a bloody thick one

  • 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.
