Player Turnover

The effort last night has inspired me to join this forum, such is my disillusion towards the MFC at the moment.

I question the players we have let go in the past years in comparison to the players who have stayed on or have come on board.

Interesting to note that players such as Simmonds, Jolly doing well for their respective clubs. We have Johnson and Jamar.

Woewodin, sacked for an unknown reason (enlighten me!), while Yze can't be [censored] picking the ball off the ground.

We don't go deep enough in the draft! We don't take the hardline approach that must be taken sometimes! We keep passengers like Yze only because he is a favourite among the Melbourne faithful and the coach. Football doesn't work like that. If someone is under-performing, they cannot stay. I only mention Woewodin, because arguably, he is in the same bracket as Yze. What makes Yze different from Woey? Neale seems to try to avoid being to reactionary during games (to his detriment IMO), and this filters down to list management. CHANGE IS GOOD! You must be proactive. Kids learn this is their high school commerce subjects!

I've had a gut-full. Never have I felt this disillusioned towards the MFC. The club culture stinks. It's rubbish. I almost feel sorry for youngsters like Petterd who are not yet clouded by the MFC culture. How bleak! No wonder we're critised for being fair whether supporters. There is only so much hurt you can take. I must say however, I'm NOT a fair weather supported and NEVER WILL BE! The more you love the club the more it hurts. And I'm hurting.

Enough of a rant. I'm only frustrated as I'm sure all you are. My main issue is the player turnover at our club. Love to hear your thoughts...

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
