Things we can do to be Un-Melbourne-like

[TGR 1,367]

1. Give Jared Rivers a send off at Etihad versus GWS

Not many players who leave this club to play with a successful club, have the most kindest things to say about his old home. "I was lucky enough to play with the best 2 clubs...." or words to that effect. Maybe Jolls can sneak in the trunk

I tell you now, we start this, and clubs will start to follow us. Anyhow, it is the least we can do for a loyal servant who bled for the jumper. Simpletons think he got better at Geelong. No, he got more exposure at Geelong. He was always good. Always played on taller opponents. Always had a good pair of hands. Often courageous.

3. Get Medical Staff that can sort out our injury list; especially consider full-time lower-limb experts (particularly foot and ankle)

Jeremy Howe (hamstring) test
Jayden Hunt (back) 2 weeks
Dean Kent (heel) test
Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) 3-4 weeks
Christian Petracca (knee) season
Jack Trengove (foot) indefinite
Bernie Vince (hamstring) test

Paul Roos (ego) 3 weeks

Paul Gardner (relevance deprivation syndrome) 8 years

MFC staff (depression) 4 years

Nathan Jones (introversion) 2 years

Paleo (joke) life

Supporters (heart transplant) 2 years

Culture (premature) 3 years

I recall someone (Caroline Wilson maybe?) claiming that when Peter Jackson started he wondered why we'd done such a good job with the first Field of Women event and then not followed it up. Perhaps something un-Melbourne like would be to recognise that when we're onto a good thing, stick to it.

So, let's hope as a pioneer of the concept that we continue to support the Women's Competition. And let's maximise the benefits from it, such as recruiting more female members.

I like Number 1 and look forward to 2 ,3, etc

This is a creative and unique idea to differentiate our culture.

It would be difficult to administer, and must be transparent and equitable. It should be an offer to a player recognised as such with no recriminations if he does not wish to participate.

How would we treat Mitch Clarke? How would we treat a player who is delisted to a minor league and then retires from there? How do we treat a player retiring from SANFL? How would you treat a player injured and retires who then resumes after treatment?

Not insurmountable problems but would need to be handled sensitively

Players who retire are farewelled in the last round or on grand final day i believe so acknowledgement is already there perhaps MFC can ensure that his and our relationship is emphasised in that process.

That's true. Even a misogynist like myself can recognize that women's football is the best thing MFC has going for it. I hope we start investing heavily into it. If it works for MFC, then it should be explored to the highest possible degree. Also, what ever happened to our push into China? I thought that had merit as well.

Win games we are expected to win

Play with fight and passion in games we are not expected to win

Win consecutive games

Just for starters
