LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Please just leave me alone. I’m going through something incredibly difficult right now, a really really low point and the last thing I need is to be mocked by the likes of you. Just ignore me. Stop with the little indirect digs at me. I’ve done nothing to deserve your nastiness.

Someone laughs at someone else when they’ve just shared that they’re at their lowest point in life? That’s a new low. It’s heartless actually. I don’t need this, I really don’t. I’m out.

I hope everything works out ok WCW.

    I think anyone who attends a W match should be praised. 

    Why?

    Theres a bit of a weird misogynistic tone about parts of this thread that I don’t really love.

    Because they’re supporting our AFLW team and crowd numbers have been down.

    Well if that’s how you feel then I agree. I thought you were suggesting something else, so I’m sorry if I took it in a way that wasn’t intended. 👍

    I think “misogyny” gets thrown around a little too much these days, often used incorrectly. I’m a single dad to two girls, we are super close and I do and will always support them in everything they do. I don’t have a misogynistic bone my body. Being critical of a female sport (due to a poor performance or a low quality product being presented) isn’t misogyny. Consequently, I find it highly offensive being referred to as a misogynist purely because I’m critical of a female’s performance (it’s the performance I’m critiquing, not the gender).

    Do you watch porn ( non misogynistic variety of course ) on it ?

    Great stuff ET.

    I’m probably a bit sensitive as I haven’t really loved seeing some of the pile on of one of our posters here, who happens to be female. It made me uncomfortable, but in a way I don’t think I’m able to articulate properly. Again, apologies for misinterpreting your comment. I just wish everyone could perhaps act with a little more empathy (and I’ll try and remember to do the same!).

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍

    So since Petracca has threatened to leave, he’s caused 

    1) A president to resign

    2) An external review to be undertaken 

    Really interested to see what gets added to this list as the next 6 months unfolds.

    Certainly wouldnt have picked that if someone started a "match a poster to a car" type thread.

    The only thing you're guilty of is those weekend trips to Home Depot.

    I think an Audi SUV is actually cheaper than a Kombi these days. Coincidentally, a 1960 Kombi Samba is the one vehicle I’ve always wanted to own.

    Are you implying that Petracca created the troubles? or just noting that his public stance on them has created a lot of necessary movement.

    Isn’t it just the fact that CP5’s actions to overtly look to leave is the catalyst to all this? I am sympathetic to his stance, I even understand to the point of comprehension, but can we just let the facts stand without making them arguable because they don’t fit the clean narrative we want for a certain person?

    If that is the case then I'd want a cleanout of senior positions from top to bottom. Roffey has gone, and Pert and Richardson should be next.

    It was just his place in the highest earners list.

    Plenty of pretty ordinary "champions"( they're all very good of course) getting 200 grand more than Jack.

    It's not. 

    Every one of our sponsors would look at this table with concern in terms of a return on their investment.

    It's a perfect visual summary of our woeful comms.

    It is a serious issue. 

    I'm guessing going out in straight last Sept and our string of losses this year didn't help.  Similar to our membership numbers.  Nor would our membership demographics.

    It would be interesting to know the overall figures and if the table is only the additional or is net +/-. 

    Will be disappointed if the Comms department is not a serious part of the organisational review.  imv it is failing at many levels. 

     

    As an side wondering how mfc's 'instagram performance' is related to the CP thread rather than the review thread...

     

    @Demonland do we know the end date?  Is there more info available about the composition of the table.

    We should've dubbed our draftee: Caleb the Windsurfer and brought inflatable windsails into the crowd and given our game style a catchy name like StrangleBall to match those young wizards and whipper snappers over at Waverley

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
