There have been many times in my working life , and indeed in some working environments where push came to shove....and it was either the boss..or the client..or someone who was in charge or held the purse strings that decided for their betterment that things werent going according to some plan, or quick enough...or smelt nice enough...or too much debris etc... you sort of get the picture. it wasnt what was needed, or wanted, IT WASN"T RIGHT.

the order went out.... GET IT DONE.

There was no real discussion or care as to why things werent going well...what did it matter...it simply wasnt happening...and it was supposed to be.

Its amazing what can be done when you are held to ultimatims, when you are held accountable ( sometimes without cause, but thats another story ) You find things within yourselves, within your abilities, within your team to pull the extra digit out, and repeat it, to burn the midnight oil. To simply (as Nike would love ) to just do it.

If you dont , there is no second prize, no reward, no repeat contract or work order........there is nothing....a whole lot of nothing !!

you perform ............... or ...................... you perish !!

this same criteria applies to AFL.

MFC ... we dont need you rhetoric....we dont need reasons why things dont happen, we dont want excuses.

we just want results

we've all waited a long long time,

been promised a lot of things that havent come to pass,

if you were a listed company you would be bankrupt through expediency, carved up and buried,

you've promised rebuilding

youve promised better times...

many people invest their hearts, their time, their money into that slim hope of substance come September.

MFC...repay this faith

do something,

GET IT DONE

what is IT...It is forward movement, it is sempbalnce of success, it is an acknowlwdgemetn that 43 years of drough tis long enough, that 10 years of preaching without manna is enough.

you're geting the business right... how about trying your hand at football.

please

keep in mind there is more than one election this year

MFC if it isnt happening...change it ..

thankyou

Here Here & Amen to all of the above

exactly!!

DON'T THINK.....DO

How many times in the last decade have we be encouraged to "Stick with us" by players,coaching staff and club supremo's?Well I have stuck -with up to now but I have to say the on field performance in the 1st 3 rounds has been an embarassment.I am not talking about the actual losses,but the lack of 2nd efforts and pressure on opponents has been abysmal.Danners,if our players don't adhere to this "hard at them" instruction then dont play 'em.Give the kids a chance to show some endeavor, even if they are overwhelmed.Lets stop being the "nice" club and get absolutely ruthless.If a senior player under performs (and some do consistently)DROP THEM,please! Opposition clubs have no respect for our hardness_____fact. Change it ,give the players the message,NOW,not in 3 or 4 more weeks.We are sick of giving excuses to other supporters.Our team is capable of pushing for a top 8 position but will not make it with the current attitude seemingly accepted by the club. Remember ,"The harder you work ,the luckier you get"!

all club have a window and l belive its about 3 years.

and 4 years to rebuild but he has been their for 10 yeras for what.

to prove me right he and the dees made the grand final in 2000.

seven years on we have missed it i fear.

dont get me wrong l belive our list still strong.

but for how long will we be happy will just making the 8 come on.

lets get it right their is 16 clubs this means you have a 1 in 2 chance to make the finals.

1 in 3 chance to make the top six.

what more can l say he has done his time lets shake hands and walk away he could.

get a jop somewhere else and that would be good for him the melbourne fc.

he done a ok jop but lets look at some one else to help take the next step.

Gah, sorry about the topic lock, was (apparently) me that time. Not sure why topics are being randomly locked.

Anyway, carry on!

Maybe ND should introduce a 'Crunch Game' ball like Terry Wallace does.

The second you introduce a ridilulous fad like that, you say that some games are artificially more important - and where are you as a club when you lose a crunch game?

As far as the original post, you will find that the difference between most work scenarios and the footy is that in the footy, 2 teams are trying to get it done, and are trying to achieve the total opposite of each other. So just to "get it done", whilst it would be nice, is simplistic.

not really... the original scenario holds in my estimation, as its is you ( or your team ) against all that would present itself to thwart that.. not so different..

whether its schedules , hold ups, manpower insufficiencies, manpowr incorrect types, no shows etc. let downs by suppliers ,supply of wrong materials, weather, chnages in plans etc etc.. fill in the list with whatever......they all have one thing in common, they are against...and they rail agaisnt you like an opposing team.....what a coincidence !!

Still not the same thing, and not an appropriate analogy

we differ in opinion..

others agree..

some might not

such is life

hope you do well in life as official ajudicator
