all jobs at MFC up for renewal

Posted May 27, 200718 yr

I have followed Melbourne since 1970- we have a chronic "Losing" culture that has to be addressed. I don't blame anyone but it cannot be avoided.

St.Kilda, Footscray and Geelong have the same problem. Everyone at the club has to be put on notice-I thought we could challenge for the flag in March!!!! Look at the train wreck that has followed.

The players have been giving there all-i can see that, but its not good enough. Why???? Is it our lack of training facilities, lack of "social club Home" all of the above

What Robbo said in the paper was correct-don't just blame ND Blame everyone-The whole club musst have a clean out. Look at the Kangaroos they have beeen on a shoestring but they will not lie down- we must find that Recipe or else we shall not survive. I am Sick and tired of accepting 2nd best

It's just easier to get a new coach with new ideas than it is to replace 42 players, although I'm sure at the end of this season there will be a big cleanout.

Let's not go throwing the baby out with the bathwater here!

The clubs management has been probably more productive and solution focussed than at any time I care to remember, so change isn't needed there.

I wouldn't go making the Kangaroos the model either............we were 90 seconds from rolling them today!

Football department needs reviewing no doubt.

90 seconds away is just not good enough. That's my point. I will use north as a guide, After Carey stuffed up i honestly thought that club would die, but they toughed it out. Would Melbourne have come through under the same circumstances???? I doubt it

AFLW REPORT: Collingwood
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.

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

AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

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.

The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
