Get it done


beelzebub

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
