Dear Melbourne Football Club,

After reflecting on the disaster that was the game against Carlton on the weekend, I want to share some of my thoughts and feelings with you regarding season 2016.

As a passionate member of the Demon Army, I was disgusted by the effort displayed by the team and coaches against the Blues that destroyed any chance of making finals for the first time in ten years.

Sure it was frustrating to see such a pitiful performance similar to the one against Essendon in Round Two and to see the lack of desire from a team that had dominated West Coast and beaten Brisbane, Hawthorn, and Port Adelaide in the space of four weeks.  Was the group getting ahead of themselves once again which is something that we as a club have been guilty of many times over the last number of years? If so, we had no right to based on performances that had delivered only, 2, 4, 7 and ten wins over the last four seasons. A little optimistic don’t you think?

I believe you are refering to us beating the Gold Coast.

Yes I was. Will update right away.

I'm thinking of adopting an Open Letter approach in respect to all those who I may struggle with from time to time, starting with my boss and ending with my wife. I'll let you know how it goes. Obviously wording is key.

Just goes to show that no matter what the improvement someone is going to flip out that we haven't improved more. 

This is a Joke!!!

Open letter to you.

no one at MFC will give two fccks about your nose being out of joint

do you want to go one better and throw a banana at them?

yes, we lost. Yes, it was crap. Don't you think they know these things?

do they call for your advice often?

sheesh.

Harsh... but fair and accurate.

No harm in venting but that is seriously just wasting peoples time at the club.

Let me know how i go Glory.... i may adopt it myself haha

Like many on here I was shitty about how Sunday went, but it has been a pretty good year all things considered. It will be even better if Roosy gets the send-off he deserves down at Sleepy Hollow on Saturday. I cannot wait for next season to start.

I like your passion but I think it is a bit misplaced. If at the beginning  of the season you had said that by round 22 we could still be a chance to play finals I wouldn't have believed it. 10 wins including against Hawthorn, Port, Tigers, GWS and Pies x  2 is a good result.

Did anybody actually read it? Sure it started off angry but he goes on to say there is cause for optimism. Not sure an open letter is the right forum. But I agree with op's sentiments

Aren't they one and the same? Saves ink and two pieces of paper (or only the 1 email) I guess.

looking forward to hearing about your new job and new bride 

Don't hold your breath waiting for a response pal. 

Read past paragraph 3 and you will see its an article of optimism.  Had me going at the start.

This is meant to be comical isn't it?

Not sure whether "rd" means "red" and "draft" refers to ale. Anything's possible, I suppose.

Which is exactly what the open letter said, just in a more extended, self-indulgent, and boring way.

Thank you for giving me a laugh, on a rather boring and dreary Thursday morning.

Quite. But the poor barstad at the club who has to read this type of guff doesn't.
