Is there a disconnect between supporters and the current crop of players.

I wouldn't want our players to have much of a connection to our supporter base. We are a battered, negative bunch. We need players who are self confident but also willing to learn from their mistakes. Let's hope we finally have that group.

My friend knows someone who works at Melbourne and said that people working  at the club have received angry and abusive calls from members regarding the finals booklet in the mail and that there's a real bad vibe around that area of the club and has left workers in tears. Interesting to see the vibe next year. 

That is ridiculous, regardless of what you think about the management of the club or performance of the team abusing the office staff is sheer lunacy. Please make sure you let your mate know that that is a minute portion of fans who would do that.

These people would be better served turning up to the AGM and venting to PJ Bartlett and co - bet they don't though cos they'll get "stage fright" themselves and leave their courage at the door. Far easier to abuse 20-something admin staff over the phone

Im still trying to understand the topic of this thread. In some manner it suggests a failure . Of what ?

What IS the ' connect' between these parties supposed to be  ? The players connect to the team, the club. 

We connect to the club. Where is the connection to players. 

I find the supposition odd to tell you the truth.:blink:

 

This is probably the best thing I've seen you write on here. We are connected by the club. The days of beers in the social club is over. This is professional sport now.

Very good. Thanks Saty. I see you still don't understand the purpose of a football forum. Walk on, mate.

We also know the team never shows up when expected to win

Players should be aware of this and guard against it instead of being stupidly complacent

How can they be aware of this and guard against it when of course they know they have an easy game (of bruise free footy) and guaranteed victory

I go back to something that I think Mark Neeld said.  There are too many players on our list who are happy just to be playing AFL.  They aren't willing to do the extra work to play finals because their personal goal has already been met. 

Wow. He did get one thing spot on correct. 

My take us that there are many on the list who would like to be good AFL footballers, but who don't really want to put in the effort and sacrifice.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
