I suspect we have always had similar goals but they have been more like pipe dreams, with wishy washy thinking on how to get there.  ie no idea!

This feels like a smaller version of what Hawthorn did to set themselves up as a strong club.  Different scale, different ideas but really solid planning and delivery of said plans.

What we need now is for the coaches and players to deliver on field!!!

Don’t think the terminology you used is correct ie pipe dreams & wishy washy 

IMHO the club has a clear strong message. We are a football club not a religious or political organisation. 

We are prepared to make positive innovative changes to attract a whole new generation of supporters. 

the AFL assisted us with the rebirth of our club -  the AFL goals and MFC goals are aligned. Some of us will be forever grateful for the assistance and key personnel the AFL provided. 

This will upset some but it was recognised long, long ago some who want to hold onto the ways of the past and resist change. Such is life. 

 Go Dees

    I was referring to past administrations.  Bartlett, PJ et al have been the polar opposite of pipe dreams and wishy washy.  They have made things happen and there are more on their 'To Do' list.

    With all due respect to past administrators much of their time was consumed dealing with political or religious agenda pushers.  Which often led to polarisation that spilled over into football matters. 

    This club had been dogged with those problems for decades plus the “haters” who are always going to hate. 

    The MFC is now politics and religion free - all are welcome male or female, young or old etc

    Can you give an example of a religious agenda which was being pushed? I don't remember any.

    Did we actually try to argue that we shouldn't play on Sundays for religious reasons?

    I agree. In fact, apart from jealousy, why do people care if the rich get richer? Surely what really matters is that the poor get richer. It doesn't have to be a zero sum game. 

     

    Simple.

    When houses, medicine and food, & just plain living, become a slavery act to survive, then the current capitalistic system has gone beyond its use buy date.

     

    This is the end of capitalism as we know it, because its become a cannibal.  The anti-christ has worked its spell into the big 'C' ;  and now its all downhill for big 'C'...

    Err...didn't you say "With all due respect to past administrators much of their time was consumed dealing with political or religious agenda pushers"? You must have had a reason for saying that. It's a bit rich to resile from that statement now you've been called out on it.

    What's that mean?

    I’m sure it will be some derogatory term against a person who has a different opinion as him. 

    His other popular term would be “troll” the irony is quite funny. It’s the most banned term around the internet but the most misused term. 

    Happy to be wrong of course

    I'll guess that cnbc = close but no cigar. Which, if that's right isn't very helpful, because it means I still don't know what dftft is! Anyway, I'll leave the acronymic anguish behind me now. It's not particularly on topic.

    Well said. We have a very bright future in an extremely tough business environment. 

    I look forward to find ways we ca 

    Build our membership numbers, build our crowds and work with the business community to grow our sponsorship deals.

    I think Joe G was quoted as saying that if Melbourne selected Ezra Poyas then he wouldnt be selected to play on the Sabbath, or something like that....

    While I'm supportive of (and pleased by) the social aspect of this decision, I highly doubt it's any more than a side effect of a decision that was otherwise 100% business. 

    The current administration hasn't done anything to suggest it operates in any way other than a shrewd one. I'm surprised you're not prepared to cut them some slack and let this play out before flying off the handle.

    Fair call.

    Will be very interesting to see what we make of the cash injection.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
