Green bristled in those early-season interviews where he was called an interim president.

Well, if he disagrees with that title, he can demonstrate it in the next few weeks.

needs to be moved on or to the goal kicking coach position, unbelievable how him or someone else hasn’t done that yet. at the end of the day 99% of our loses over the past 4 years are down to goal kicking and poor selection the senior coach is in charge of training and has the final say on thursday afternoons……

Who is running this club?

Where is Brad Green? Writing letters to members through pre season, haven’t heard from him for a while now.

Richardson, Lamb, Goodwin, who is keeping this lot accountable, as what they have put together this year and last on and off the field is pathetic!

I can’t comprehend how the currents in charge can take us forward.

How do we attract players to our club and members with what we are producing.

Change is needed.

The one in the grease-paint with the comically over-sized shoes.

 

I've resented Trac somewhat for what he did end of last year, and have been hypercritical of his footy since then.

But you need to know when to look in the mirror and realise that you're the problem. Trac needs to be politely asked to sit down in front of the members and asked one question: "what is wrong with the football club?"

Let him talk for as long as it takes, no details spared and use specific examples. And if this is what it takes then after he helps us we will help him find a new club.

Strangely enough though, the off field leadership is not an area of concern for me. Steve Smith returns in September and will be handed the presidency, and at almost the same time Paul Guerra will begin as CEO. Both these people impress me.

It really concerns me...for a start I don't know whether Smith is the man for the job but he is encumbered by a board that has taken us from sweets to boiled lollies.

This is a board most on here were happy to back.

Guerra has zilch AFL football experience.

September means another lost year.

Zero experience for Guerra and off field, the club has been asleep at the wheel ever since Green was brought onto the board.

EGM incoming.

They've been asleep at the wheel since around 2021, got lucky with the flag but all the in fighting around the club has killed it.

...and all the Mr Magoo's around here voted for the status quo...

The letter from Brad Green in November last year talking about the review is just laughable now, “we think we have the list and coaching staff to take us back to finals in 2025” nothing to see here.

But not the Board. They need to put their big-boy pants on, go direct to Goodwin, brush aside his premiership medallions and Malcolm Blight medals, and ask him for a plausible explanation of what is going on and a plausible plan to recover. The CEO and Football Dept have been impotent.

The members had a chance to stir up the club by bringing in some new blood and give the board a bit of a rocket at the last board election, instead they all voted for the status quo.

The board is not running this club two members are and should have been voted out last election

Lack of interest and delusion about where the club sat in the scheme of things have delivered us to a place where it will take years to fix. BLAME THE BOARD and the puppeteers behind them including our sacrificial lamb GREEN!

Club remains a joke so remember the board is the problem and ultimately reponsible

That's all very well, but the rage here against anything to do with the Deemocracy group, and the inherent support for board manipulation to retain the status quo, was palpable. Mostly from the same people whinging about the whole of this season.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
