You did well melbourne

Effort 9/10

Kicking 5/10

General skills 6/10

Great gutsy effort again Dee's but once again let down by poor skills. Fact is we should be 2 / 5, we should have won both the last 2 games by several goals, but let down at crucial times by poor skills and decision making. That said it is fantastic to see them having a real go, that is all you can ask of them, they just are not quite good enough to compete with the better sides, but they will win a number of games this year (will be in single figures though). There would have been no point making the finals anyway, we would have gone no-where. May as well experiment now with players and game plans and just see the year out as also-rans.

As for ND well really i think one more year wouldn't hurt.. he does bleed for the club and without all these injurys i think we could have been a top 4 club these year but oh well. i wsh them well for the rest of the year!

I agree, ND deserves another year. They have not fallen away despite the bad start to the year, that is a credit to him and he does bleed for them, you only had to watch him in the coaches box to see that, plus the injuries have taken a big toll. But I don't believe we were top four material. Our backline is not nearly strong enough. There will have to be some ruthless cutting back and smart recruiting for us to be more than a top six side next year.

I have a feeling our culture is turning around.

Our culture won't even start to turn around until we stop patting the players on the back for losing, regardless of effort. We have a definite and long-planted losing culture at MFC.

Oh yes, you are totally right.....

We should all rag on them with relentless criticism and abuse until their ears bleed and their eyes roll back in their heads

Yep, that will definitely help :angry: !!!

As previous posts - happy with the effort, absolutely gutted by the loss. BUT I can see we're not too far. As long as we keep up the pressure in games, we will come through.

The Boys put in the effort in, which counts most. Once we chalk up that first win, I think we can string together a few wins.

Hopefully it can be this week.

You cant change or turn arond anything unless you clearly understand and appreciate where you are exactly and where you have to go to change it. We have had a terrible start to the year for a number of reasons some of which are beginning to turn around postively and we need to appropriately recognise that.

I find the flogging players continually after a loss is merely self serving of the deliverer and of little use to the recipients.

Amen to that Rhino......
