Will be interesting to see if Goodwin has big enough Kahuna's to turn this around next year. 

Even with 12 wins The MFC has managed to dig a big hole for itself in 2017

it is easy to see. Our 1st Quarter efforts were pathetic...

Casey did the same today SWYL.

[buck_nekkid 5,861]

Some perspective:

Goodwin did his presses after the match.  Nate Jones did a presser after we missed out.  That is enough.  Realistically, no one is interested in us any more for the year.  Did the Hawks come out and apologise for their season?  Did Norf?

Nah, it just sux the big ones in the way we came 9th.  Richmond have been doing it for years.  All focus now should be on the teams that made the finals, and all the tin-arse individual awards. (I'm looking at you Macgrath of the Bombers, least deserving rising star EVER, and only at the Bummers because they rorted their drug cheating year.)

Expect statements at the Bluey, and in the year book things that will clutter my letterbox.  Not before - we dont deserve to be heard, we were irrelevant and 9th.  We deserve to hurt.

And I HATE being a laughing stock of other fans.  I have to restrain myself from punching Bombers fans in the face.  Smug [censored].

Game Plan does not work...

I epect The Club to tell me what went wrong...We who pay deserve that and then i expect the problems to be fixed. 

For far too long this club has said nothing...

Simon Goodwin joining @RSNBreakfast every Monday through finals ... a bit to talk about in own camp before he analyses others! Compelling.

Well at east we will hear his thoughts.

SWYL got his finals booklet today

Beyond the obvious hilarity and annoyance of such it highlights how inept a procedure it has been. Had we made it imagine the angst as some got this visy-fodder too late to enact successfully I'd suspect.

Maybe some should email the club to remind of this technology. 

All in all the club are not winning tricks here.

Still...when is this club ever about winning !!

Why bother emailing them. The people who should care are showing absolutely that they give little fooks!

Just some poor worker getting the email, replying with a mostly templated response and hitting delete. 

 

I'm still super jaded with how poor this club has been. When they should have been on the front foot engaging the supporters they seem to be hiding... probably at the snow.

tbh the notion of emailing them was to illustrate the irony.

I know that there will be calls of...there all people... "leave the people alone"  ( suggested imagery..."that Brittany vid " )

This is SUPPOSED to be a professionally run organisation. God knows it runs on a budget of MILLIONS.. not tuppence ha'ppenny .       The difference often between success and failure is , and warning..it's a glib reference to an f'n obvious..... Attention to detail.

The general worker at the MFC is only doing what they're instructed. So it stands to reason someone giving instructions is an idiot!!

I just received an email to say there is an interview with Goodwin on the club website.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2017-09-05/missed-opportunity-simon-goodwin?camefrom=EMCL_1829220_73153980

Not sure I've ever seen an email form the club to tell me there is an article on the website.  Usually club emails are about promotions.  The club must read Demonland!

Makes up for the club not letting members know that Jones had a press conf.

Better late than never. 

As to the interview, I was very very impressed with him and what he said.  He was genuine and heartfelt.  He is still hurting just like the rest of us.  Clearly he is heavily invested in the club. 

Players wanted to make their own history so are also shattered. 

Time for us all to move on.

Clearly the guy and the club is devastated; an extremely downcast interview which is what I would expect to be honest.

And all the emails to the club- my mother did so yesterday expressing the supporters need to hear from coach/ceo/president, in order for hurting supporters to move on from 2017. Closure I think it is called

I think they have been bombarded with emails asking to hear from the coach. I also sent one last week.  So its great they reacted. 

What I think came from Demonland was for the club to email members and let them know the interview was on the website - something I haven't noticed before.  And something they didn't do for the Jones press conf.  This ensures all members will have the chance to see it.

Kudos to Simon and the club for hearing and respecting the requests of members. 

Yes, I think closure has begun.

Well said Goody and Burgs , 

busy two days after the the game sunday night with exit interviews and medicals , surely the prez or ceo could  have made a statement early monday morning but ill rest my case . 

Go dees. 

[Gorgoroth 12,954]

A week too late, but better late than never.

Still I hope that they sit down in the next week and figure out how they can get into the current day and age with communication to their members.

l'm still super miffed that a "professional" club could be so poor and take so many complaints/emails from their supporters before actually acting.

[beelzebub 23,376]

CD. Whole thing took ...how long ? Ffs

Maybe get it out the way and move on.

What he says is essentially irrelevant. Its that HE DOES say something... probably more timely . THAT'S the point.

Nearly a week and a half later ??

Im sure if we here and elsewhere weren't plssed off and vocal...how long ?

Quite frankly he's lost me for the moment. He can reconvince me in 2018.

I know.. he'll lose sleep in the meantime

All in all he's accomplished nothing natural progression wouldn't have.

Wow

Go Dees
