i want an apology from the club

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

I don't normally rant and rave and start threads complaining but today is the last straw.

I want an apology from the playing group and a proper explanation to why they decided to give up or not try against the bottom of the club side.

There is no pressure no taclking no running and no leadership.

After years of being a member and watching every game I've had enough and I won't renew my membership unless I get an apology from the club players.

This performance is utter [censored]

[Emerald 1,744]

Make that two of us.

[Demon Jack 6,931]

Make that two of us.

Thirded

[Tony Tea 2,809]

Possibly the WORST we have EVER played.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

We are not just getting beaten by a better side there is zero effort or care

It's not good enough and the club needs to make a statement and apologise to us members

We've had eniugh

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Supporting Melbourne is like being with a bad girlfriend, you don't realise how bad it is for you until you actually break it off, I reckon i'm reaching that point.

[Adzman 2,154]

The players might need to apologise to the sponsors and stakeholders first. Think of the financial ramifications of this effort.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

I want a new club.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I usually hate these sort of threads or statements, but this is just awful and if we hear more media fluff this week I will spew.

[dazzledavey36 55,453]

[censored] apology i want my money back asap!

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

It's just so poor on multiple levels

Carlton are last on the ladder, there is no excuse they just haven't turned up. It's so obvious the players don't care

The club needs to make a stand.

I get it if it's a tough season and they've run out of puff but come out apologise and be honest or I'm going to stop supporting this club because today is not acceptable

I usually hate these sort of threads or statements, but this is just awful and if we hear more media fluff this week I will spew.

That's the thing Forest all the players do is "talk".

We r the No Acion Demons.

It's really sad that our footy club is this deplorable and there seems no end in sight.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

I want an apology from my old man for helping make me a Demon.

I also will have to forever apologise to my kids for making them Demons

[daisycutter 29,795]

and what difference would an apology make? - SFA - i'm long past apologies

Send it to the club.

[Roger Mellie 4,145]

Near the end of the first quarter comedy act, I had this bizarre sensation of suddenly being upside down.

I think I just reached my tipping point.

[ding 5,126]

I genuinely believe the majority of people who support this club would be far better off mentally (and physically) if it folded. They dont get my money any more, and have not done for 2 years.

Try to imagine how much better your weekends would be if you didnt have to feel the way you currently do, practically every weekend during the footy season.

The other way to feel better, would be to become a genuine premiership contender, and that simply isnt going to happen to MFC. The culture is broken and beyond repair, as evidenced by the great off-field team we have assembled, and the absolutely rank results we see on the field.

I thought we had improved, but it turns out we just got lucky a few times.

The players might need to apologise to the sponsors and stakeholders first. Think of the financial ramifications of this effort.

This is what I'm most worried about. Jackson said after the Brisbane game how important it was for us to say to sponsors, "we have more wins, we have improved." Membership is nice for revenue but it's a small part of the pie.

Anyone that didn't think this game was big for the club needs to think about the bigger picture. The club needs a better product going into the off-season. The players are effectively killing the club's sustainability. Fitzroy fans boycotted the club because they thought the playing group didn't try. They simply didn't have the cattle, but they fought till the end. Melbourne has the talent but a rotten culture and stigma attached to the brand. We smell like a burning Fitzroy but we taste different.

. An apology won't achieve anything I agree 100%

I just want something for my membership because I'm getting SFA right now

[titan_uranus 25,050]

I don't want an apology.

I want the club to actively work towards fixing the deep-seated problems that persist.

[Little Goffy 14,664]

I'm currently unemployed, looking to get back into work after a Master's Degree, and have had to keep putting off and putting off getting a membership until I finally managed to have enough, on the last day of valid annual membership purchases, to scrape an armchair membership to keep my 14 year run going. The equivalent of about 3, maybe 4 weeks of 'not just bills and food' money.

Back when I could afford it I gave wads of cash to the debt demolition fund in multiple years, I gave to the Mt Theo community fund in Jurrah's home town, I attended the crazy 'Demon Summit', and it just goes on.

I give and give and give, anything I can that might be useful, and like the other members who have stayed firm, I'm not getting much back.

- Players who play when they feel like do not deserve six-figure income job security for years in advance.

- A coach who has not shown a single new or appropriately tailored tactic, training method or even an original excuse does not deserve a million dollars a year.

Bring me in for $50k and I'll arrange for the rest of the cash to go to specialist skills coaches. Could watch lolcats the rest of the time and make more difference.

Right now the only strong point in this club is the supporter's outrageous level of commitment, and I fear it is currently only running on the basis of the 'sunk costs fallacy'.

[monoccular 17,607]

I want an honest explanation, no excuses.

IF there has been illness over the past month that has made it difficult to field a fit team then it is time to say so.

Surely this must be the case. Even at our lowest ebbs in the past things have not been so bad, and our better performed players just seem (by the sound of it - haven't been able to get to a game for ages) physically and mentally out of it.

Sure the club wouldn't want to reveal this in advance, but we need to hear what is going on.

So, I want an explanation rather than an apology or excuses.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Disgraceful.

[Wilbur 447]

Mentally and physically weak

[fired up 77]

Pathetic
