I know Goodwin will say we believe in our plan and program, that it was unacceptable today, that we know what we need to do etc... But we need more from him today. We, the members and supporters need an explanation from coach and President.

Just watched as much of the presser as I could, and you almost had it word for word! Just missed 'stoppage and scrimmage'.

He doesn't mind taking a million from the club though. What a spineless way to give up on the club that made you the star you are.

Disgraceful comment.

Spineless? he had a near fatal injury playing for our club. He carried the club in most games last year before being injured.

The club that made him a star, eh?. You mean the guy that got us a premiership, right?. Forget the NSM. He got 10/10 BnF votes from each of the 4 Demon coaches for the GF.

If you were there today you must have missed seeing how much he cares. He didn't give up today - many others did.

We stole the flag in 2021, absolutely robbed the dogs.

We cannot run , cannot mark, do not lead , and cannot tackle and are not fit. But we can fumble, Pity about XL,

To my mind the only time we looked a side was when AJ was throwing his weight around. We have been soft cooks since 2000 when no one stood up to essenscum and last year against Mmmaynard and then they shook his hand and spoke to him like he is human.

No wonder other clubs laugh at us and are not concerned.

On the other hand I did think most of the players were trying only a couple were half hearted,

I dread seeing what happens next week.

I 'm sorry Uncle. But I know you at least have a good sense of humour and are not as thinned skinned as some in these parts

I couldn't resist to tell you to stop bragging

I'll probably get suspended but if you have any emails of the powers to be at DL tell them that there is a minor flaw in the new website.

I did message through the contact us link here but everyone is probably too busy drowning their sorrows.

Ps its nothing to be ashamed of mate.

In fact say it loud and say it proud.

Deeve, hate to tell you the ability to edit a post you are quoting has always been there.

That was very good . I probably should have kept mum.

For the record and I need your help I am totally refraining from any before things get out of hand.

I have informed DL and I'm not posting until it's fixed.

I did message with one of Bbos posts but that is all.

Trac's body language wasn't off ( looking from the MCC member's stand). At times he was frustrated, disappointed at his inability to contribute in his normal manner.

I think we need to remember he nearly died last year. It will take time for him to get back to his best.

We do suck massively right now.

Just like this? Have people changed other people's words before?

If I'd known I probably would have put a few people in their place. Or at least toned down some of the abuse hurled at me on a couple of occasions. But do I really want a sanitized DL?

Probably safer to just disable it. Have we just been working on the honor system?

Thanks for the heads up LH.

It's probably the seven bourbons I've had that made me discover it and not remember.

I've also noticed a direct correlation between my Liver test results after two MFC losses in a row.

Probably no coincidence.

Actually totally related in a fashion.

We had a lot of things go our way in 21, not tge least of all was we played an odd style that worked....but only then.

The same ppl haven't been able to truly create a game that works for us since. 23 was close but we were found wanting by teams that had a better game.

We are where we are . It's not an accident, we're here by design.

It's totally relatable imho

We have won clearance twice in the past 11 games.

Sickening.

I'm just wondering after the seven bourbons where people actually rate North M. and Gcs,?

I mean losing to the giants hurt but I know they are a good team.

I would not have thought so about the others.

Too early maybe.

Actually only six bourbans. I have small fingers too.

Is that a lot?

I started at 1.30 as well.

So one every 90 mins or close .

Any Hepatologists about?

Please don't anyone change that amount with a stroke to number sixteen.

It's going to be a tough season I fear for my health.

Picked the wrong weekend to give cocaine.

Having watched the demons as long as I have . 2021 was the aberration . So the statement stands upright by itself.

As does your last line , I agree.

I don't think people change a quoted poster's words. What they do is highlight particular parts by underline, 'bold' or take irrelevant parts out of the quoted post.

To clarify the poster's original post remains as written eg see the orginal BBO post quoted/adjusted.

Hope you are keeping well, deeve

I think they have a shot at top 8 but they won’t mount to much in a finals campaign. Both probably 3-4 years away from challenging… but both could just pull a Hawthorn.

30 minutes of the purest footy. We were unstoppable in that Finals series. Unstoppable.

I can't cop this stealing a flag business. Things did line up for us but we were clearly the best team in 21.

We’ve got huge problems,

viney’s reaction time has slowed and he can’t win a clearance - and he can’t be trusted to kick it into Fwd 50 - don’t know what role he can play for the last 4 years of contract!

Fritch - going through motions - dialling in a performance and should be dropped after some soft efforts

May - lost a step of pace and won’t be the wall he once was but there’s no heir apparent.

Rivers - has a crack but just turns the ball over by hand and foot far too often. But I still think he needs to replace Viney in centre.

Melksham - getting his super topped up over past two years but we should have moved on this year and fought for Membrey or Stringer.

Van Rooyen going backwards - confidence shot and needs coaching to be more active (on the move) in fwd line.

Goodwin - his game style over past 5 years has worn out players and he can’t pivot. No longer inspiring a performance and can’t solve forward line inefficiency issues - time to go.

I miss the good people we had around our club. Gus, Nibbler, Hibberd, Jetta. Bedford, Jordon.

All had flaws but guys you could rely on to crack in.

Honestly the types Tim Lamb brought in....billings...schache...Grundy...mcadam....we moved away from guys that could win contests...to guys that just have no physicality. Or weak mentality. Or weak bodies. You couldn't have managed a list more poorly if you tried.

We were such a brutal team at the peak.

Sigh

I just can't get over the fact that some seem to think we stole a flag, while others think we should have been a dynasty. Do our supporters even like MFC? I am so disappointed at today's showing (and last week's), but I'm not going to neg out about the past. I'm still so happy I got to see my team win a flag, even if I wasn't able to be there in person.

I thought North sounded better- with more upside for supporters before our game with them when they called out the players names pre game. And so it proved. Our response and this is Goodwins issue is when we have a goal kicked against us it’s, mid field, leaders have a chat with Max, put head down and just boot it out of the centre if they get it. So easy and predictable to defend against. And because they go head down all out attack they are in no position to defend from the centre if Max is dominant.

Viney, Oliver have been brilliant for us but have had an armchair ride from Max all their careers.
