Resilience - MFC Players V MFC Supporters (Merged Thread)

Featured Replies

It is ridiculous that Roosey, other club supporters and the media think there is a veil of negativity around our pathetic, doomed, fisted forever Demons.

You forgot "cursed".

 

Now that deserves serious thought as an alternative.

better still, od, why not get the whole of demonland to do a jonestown

the mcc might even allow us to use the mcg and provide the vats. after all we would be doing them a favour

I don't see how confronting faults helps the win/loss column.

I don't see any other clubs need to confront their faults.

They need to confront the playing list.

Thats who they need to confront.

Yes the Attitude of the playing list. That is the fault.
 

Cheers up guys. Only 2 games to go

Nah Lemmings off the Top of the MCC Grandstand dc :)

Not silly at all. Schwab wanted to make Jack Grimes the "new" Barassi amid great song and dance. The result was Grimes career become very ordinary

creating little messiah's will not win us games...

I never forget we are cursed. I touched wood instead.

Good point dc

Do we have any sponsors who could provide the ingredients?

Would surly make it easier for them to get the message over without all our negativity in the road.

yep, give them the "clean air", that's all that's holding them back

You forgot MFC staff.

All clubs supporters are the same. Collectively, they are a mob. Our supporters are a mob. Hawthorn's supporters are a mob.

When the team wins, the mob is happy.

When the team loses, the mob is unhappy.

When the team is on a winning streak, the mob prophesy winning the next 10 premierships.

When the team is on a losing streak, the mob want to sack the suits, trade all the players, and burn the joint down. (Not necessarily in that order.)

When the team is in a dynasty of losing, like we are, the mob get very, very, very negative.

Only one thing can stop the rot. Winning matches. And the mob can't do the winning. They can only tag along and react.

They've actually made a film about Melbourne supporters.

Perhaps we need a members forum like Collingwood


The whole place is negative, how can it not be after the wasted opportunities of the last 8 years.

The fact remains though the media jump down his throat every time he says something

Of course we play a defensive game style.

Until we can do that what's the point in moving on.so much better off than we were 2 years ago it's not funny

As of round 1 next year Petracca, Kent, a fit Salem, Frost, a top 5 pick, possibly Trengove and an A grade draftee will

start on the ground. No more Bail, Jones and a host of other nqr's will be playing.

The light is on and the tunnel is illuminated.

The fact that most on this site can't see this and bemoan Roos is proof of the very negativity he speaks of.

Roos hasn't been just sorting out the coaching, he and Jackson have been rebuilding this club.

Listening to SEN this morning made me laugh. 2 more commentators trying to stir the pot.

In a couple of years Goodwin will take over a solid list and we'll be back playing finals

Really disappointed with some of the carp that comes out of our coaches mouth.

He blames everyone and everything except himself.

He said that even after the Geelong win people were coming up to him and saying, well you'll never do that again.

What a load of rubbish....after the Geelong win most of us were rapt and saying how great things were looking and hoping we had turned the corner.

Believe us Roosy when we tell you, we do not want to be negative at all, in fact we are sick to our stomachs of being negative....please please please, give us a reason to be positive, like win a couple of games in a row, or beat a bottom side, at least.

Ne constantly blames himself. He often refers to the fact that it must be him and the coaches. Listen to his interviews and stop making [censored] up

and now for some good news

the share market is only down .1% today (so far)

that sounds a little like we only lost by 2 goals

Bugger.

Give me an example where he blames himself, because I haven't heard it.

Happy to be proven wrong mate.

Jack was tracking along nicely until Schwab changed his number, made the video

Grimes never played well again apart from that one punch....

Should have kept his own number...identity.

In that time Grimes also broke his collarbone and I would guess is about five kilograms of muscle lighter than he was back then.

yes he did

Just like many others have broken bones and recovered

Becoming a vego didn't help!!!

Do you watch AFL360?

Because he is usually overtly boring and takes ownership for all the nonsense with the obligatory "we have go to do better as a coaching staff" and then meanders around a point about modern footy relationships for 10 minutes while Robinson tries to collect his drunken thoughts amidst the confusion.

The media has picked up on what he said coz they knew we would smell blood and have thrown it out to us, and haven't we loved it?

Also Robbo seems to have some strange grudge at the mo, related to Essendon/Dank/Bates/Magner, but he'll get over it.

The media will be the media, we're in their crosshairs now, them having moved on from Carlton and Essendon. They've done it to us before, will do it again.

There's only one way out, and that's to win games.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
