I seriously feel sorry for the MFC employee who will be reading these emails. 

I will not hold back

 

Sharpening the Blades before i commence...

Good for you. However its unlikely they even barrack for us and get paid every week anyway.

The more I think about our problems the more I think our biggest one and most pressing is being homeless. It is really difficult to fully comprehend as we are so used to it. Even the most basic of suburban Clubs has an oval with a pavilion, car parking and a community club feel. That is why I am so hard on Pert, nearly one year in and no communication towards a solution after wasting time on the proposal at the G that should have never got past its initial brainstorm.

I said that the communication from the club to members this year has been appalling. Have not heard boo from our CEO. You’d hardly know he works at MFC

Well I for one am certainly looking forward to his letter of apology and refund at seasons end !!! ???

Our problems are onfield and in the Changeroom. The Players work hard, but NEVER hard enough. We are reactive and not proactive, said it here in 2006 and not a thing has changed. 

Our home is The MCG, that is where the Club was conceived, make Finals and the Demon Army will fill the place. 

I want to see the Club work much harder, before they are “gifted a new home”

Members should have received an email today from the club requesting you to participate in a membership survey. It's a good thing they did it today compared to if they sent it on Monday (and following a loss to Carlton if it occurs).

Would love yo know what @Sir Why You Little put down for the top 5 words that come to mind when you think about the Melbourne Football club!

 Nope - not a positive year of football so far and there are limited sliver linings to follow, I'm afraid. Designed to elicit responses that they wish to hear.

Our website sucks

This has been a scrawny year for the Website. Dull, lifeless, deficient in explanations,.

We fill in the surveys each year but never get a response or any feedback. I understand that on-field performance will fluctuate, but nothing seems to change off-field regardless of the survey results or feedback.

Communication to members has always been poor, but it has been totally absymal this year. Couple that with the dire on-field performance and I really wonder the club hopes to gain from this survey.

I know you are a committed and passionate supporter so do not wish to argue your point. I just wish we could wave a wand and have the MCG as our home base too. I just cannot see how it could come to pass.I agree on the hard work and hard work and think we should have looked at a monster Barassi  type offer for Joel Selwood years ago to teach a generation how to prepare and play the game.

I am quite happy for the Club to stay where it is, we just need the other clubs who share, to move on. 

I expect a full Independent Review of the Football Dept over Summer. 

Goodwin must have Performance based clauses written into his contract. 

Bartlett has a lot of work head of him


Spleen vented, pity the poor soul that has to pass on my comments. 

I'm afraid I was half hearted about this survey. Answering the questions was like pulling out a splinter, painful but necessary. Couldn't even think of five words. Only put underperforming. What in all honesty do they expect us to say? I passed on the extra comments section. I really couldn't think of anything, it's all been so disappointing. 

I also passed on the competition at the end, for the opportunity to be in the team photo with three ( I think) friends. Do not want to be part of that. Please offer a better prize.

5 words hey ???

 

I DEMAND A [censored] APOLOGY !!!!!!!!

Notated my disappointment on the online survey, but yes I could imagine some office youngsters rolling around in laughter as they read the responses from passionate members over a morning cappuccino.

It is what it is.

Tell them how bad this year has been in no uncertain terms.

And as for those pitiful post game talks by the loser coach- WTF?

Absolutely right!

The club could have saved the time and effort involved in a survey by simply reading this and one or two other threads currently alive on Demonland.

I think they'd get the picture of how supporters are feeling atm.

Simples!

One wonders why West Coast get to train on the G over us:

This amused me, I just completed the survey and when I hit finished it told me that the Soft ware  did not work and my survey was lost.

Sounds very much like the team. Failed to lift off.

So I sent off an email to the membership department suggesting they might not get many replies if this is the norm.

I will try again soon but it was not very flattering so perhaps they don't need it.

I still haven't got this, obviously not on the list this year or they didn't like the feedback I've given previously

 

I only wrote down 3 answers. My first answer was soul destroying. And I meant it.

It still astounds me that we can get 50k+ members for a team that has performed well in 5 years of the last 55.

We must be the most deluded bunch of people in society.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
