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.

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].

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...

9 days after we didn't nake it....

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.

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.

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
