Tipping Point Has Been Reached...

[Sir Why You Little 35,333]

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.

Hilarious.

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...

[Nasher 33,246]

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

[Little Richard 5,943]

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

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

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

[old dee 23,256]

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...

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?

[Yossarian 1,808]

Because we follow a rubbish team and it's just football.

[praha 10,575]

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!"

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

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

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

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

[daisycutter 28,728]

if we beat collingwood it will just be a dead cat bounce

[old dee 23,256]

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