A Letter to Goodwin

[Ethan Tremblay 31,166]

Cutting up your membership is so 2012. I blew mine up with an improvised explosive device.

The club said "No F....ing More" when they hired Paul Roos on big money and turned the whole club around in a few years to be at the stage we are at now. A young inconsistent side that has a lot to improve on.

I'd be saying those sorts of things if I was a Richmond supporter....

Still gotta turn up in the first Quarter Mongrel

That should just be a standard..

The games lost by a kick or two are more painful than a Prince Albert.

JKH needs to hear it,Goodwin needs to hear it.But not on a radio show.

The guy has the right to lose his Sh!t as a paying member.

Not sure OX should be giving these emotionally unstable people too much oxygen.

Hopefully JKH hears it and improves .He is old enough to cope and Goodwin will dismiss the guy as a peanut but deep down know that he lost it at selection once again .

Spot on Biff.

This popped up on Zero Hanger.

Surely whoever sent this to The Ox to pass on to Goodwin is a Demonland member.

Haha, this is very funny.  If the author of this mysterious letter has been a member for 25 years why d they have a bronze membership. In any case the world is a better place for comedy like this - gold!

The microwave seemed a little too Richmond. 

Did it involve "biogas"?

This peron is a paying member, and I think it's great he wrote to the club. I've often wanted to send my membership card back to the club, and loosing every week grows a bit tiring after more than 10 years of it.

I don't agree with what he wrote to.Goodwin, but getting clichés in post match press conferences which state the obvious is all members get from Goodwin after we watch this crap.

I'm loosing interest in MFC. I'll keep paying for my membership, but I'd rathe watch other clubs games and stop wasting my time showing up to our games. It's garbage at times, and less than 40 minutes of watchable football a game isn't cutting it.

Adz, how many flags have you enjoyed? 

3. I play baseball and was lucky enough to win back to back to back. One of the greatest experiences of my life. So yes, I have won more flags than the saints.

The open few lines on JKH has come straight from this site.

So that makes his JKH comment wrong?

Rubbish he is spot on re JKH

 

Where did I say the comment was wrong?

I for one have been stating JKH as a bad move since his initial selection (you'll find my posts if you search).

The author is an imbecile though for attracting bad publicity against the club.

Not quite. They've won 5 in total. (1 Under 19, 3 Reserves, 1 Senior).

Don't shoot the messenger ignition.

The MFC have decades  just made up the numbers. 

I am bloody tired of it too. Talk is cheap action is the requirement.

Hmm. Seems like that century old footy club is scraping the bottom of the barrel to compare to my greatness. I've still got them covered if we are counting juniors

[pineapple dee 2,892]

Are we turning into Richmond members ?????? God forbid !!!!!

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

I love the passion

I love the honesty

I love the fact that such a loss teally hurts

The letter is ok... 

But ... DONT SACRIFICE YOUR MEMBERSHIP AND LOVE OF THE FOOTY CLUB.

WE ARE ALL RED & BLUE AND KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE.

So although we all agree with the contents of the message it shouldn't be said in public???? 

 

I don't understand this stance or position. Why should these highly paid professionals avoid having their actions scrutinised???

It is fine to question and scrutinize decisions. But why be so outlandish and hand such rubbish onto media jock. It attracts nothing but bad publicity and yet again can be used to humiliate the club.

If one wants to question Goodwin's decisions why not email him directly? I have in the past, along with other members of the MFC, and they reply.

Pathetic. Don't come back. 

 

 

Also not factual, Jack Reiwoldt hardly got a touch in our previous three encounters with the tigers. Due to have one good game. 

No respect? Rubbish! All 7 teams who have played us this year know they have been playing! Have a look at the relieved faces of the teams that scraped home against us.  Richmond players were ecstatic to have won against an injury hit team with only two players on the bench. No doubt because they had not beaten us for three years.

Sad that the writer saw fit to criticise Goodwin after just 7 games. Already, Simon has instilled hardness and a strong never give up attitude. We are certainly not a bruise free football team anymore. 

Simon just now has to develop that all important facet of our game CONSISTENCY! He will I am sure. Our best quarters are blindingly brilliant. Wait till we put four of them together and feel pity for the opposition. It's going to happen oh faithful ones. Go Melbourne!

It has not achieved much ignition and it is not this guy humiliating the MFC they can manage  that well without his help.

So far BM the position we are at is down on 2016. Mr Roos got us to ten wins I have yet to see anything that suggests Goodwin will pass that mark. Early days I know but the progress seems to have ground to a halt.

It was never going to achieve anything.
