When will this club get serious about winning flags?

Last year we made a prelim and got smashed but it was pats on the back for all.

This year we've been garbage. Again. 

 

In my humble opinion,  we wont be serious until we have an actual home. A real home. Not sharing with storm et al. With a social club for members etc. I appreciate finding a site for this is difficult but until we have this and stop accepting mediocrity we will never win a flag.

Thoughts?

 

"When will this club..."

"We made a prelim"

"Pats on the back"

Home base

Social club

"Accepting mediocrity"

Are you a bot by any chance?

What a rock of Shiit

Melbourne Storm front up for Finals every year and we rub shoulders with them. 

Bellamey would sort us out

Tend to agree BR.
We are in effect homeless, or sharing the rent with a rugby club at best.
Need to grow up and get our own joint.

Haha ? just hilarious 

A true gag man

 

I do think a home base would help but really I think what we are lacking is a way to embrace and sell what we've got as a club. 

The Giants are so tight knit as a club because they've taken their disadvantages and turned them in to positives. Small club = community feel between the fans and the club. Fledgling start up = huge bond between players, coaches, staff etc.

All the things we see as a disadvantage:
Shared training base - great access to storm/victory etc
Open training oval - easy connection for players to loyal fans
Small membership - great heartland supporters
Seen as toff's - embrace the city and top end of town image in a positive way

I really think under PJ we started to get things right about how the club saw itself. Hard working, community focused, cared for each other, positive with a plan. Get back to those things and we can overcome things like training ovals and home bases.

I certainly hope so

 

Ok, this is th3 same post we have seen and read a lot since seasons end.

2019 we were worse than [censored], we are all unhappy, we all know this, but all you are doing is stewing on the past and unpsetting yourself and a few others, get prepared for the next batch of disappointing losses, it’s the pre season ?

Stewing on the past?
It's about setting up for the future.

40 years of The Norm Smith Medal tomorrow.

40 medals presented in honour of our Coach and not one MFC Player has ever come close to winning it yet...

 


Get Serious you say?

I really don’t see the point. While some might say he is a genius of sorts, most of his best work was done during the 80’s. Let’s get real. He hasn’t put anything out since Mr. Accident and would be of marginal value at best.

I see lots of complaining but no solutions to this issue.

 

I also want the Melbourne Football Club to be serious.

 

I hope that this means the continued overhaul of our football department.

I am keen to see Mark "Choco" Williams at the club in some capacity. But we need more than just that.

 

Things will only change if we have the right people involved at the club and they are given the freedom to make those changes.

It will certainly be interesting what happens now in the off season with who the Demons can also recruit into its football department and on to our playing list.

 

Definitely worth analysing how Richmond turned things around over these past few years as well. We might be able to learn from them and other clubs who had had Premiership  success.

Ah, yes. Thank you for posting this on 15 threads this morning. ?

Are we talking about the same Choco Williams who left the year before Richmond completely turned themselves around?


Gotta let the message sink in.

And the same Mark "Choco" Williams who won the 2004 Premiership for Port Adelaide and was a positive influence in helping Dustin Martin develop into a great player? Yes.

 

If you have better solutions to our current predicament then please feel free to enlighten us.

Heard Choco on the Radio this morning 

I would love to have him employed at the MFC. 

He still has a genuine passion for players and the game

Glad we agree on a few things!

 

By any chance, do you know what radio station Mark "Choco" Williams did the interview on? I will try and find a podcast online somewhere.

This off season is going to be brutal.  The quality of threads and posting on here has been nose diving remarkably for weeks.  It's not going to improve any time soon.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
