Hello

There no money in Tasmania, trust me. Lovely place but you would not want to play footy there.

Does this mean you would vote for him as President then?

An interesting side effect from these tribulations
DemonFrog replied to felixdacat's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well great to hear your story so I will tell you why I am a MFC Supporter/Member. I been an MFC supporter since 1999 after changing teams from the WCE. I am generally a very loyal supporter of any team I support but no longer support the WCE after the introduction of the 'Host Club' scheme in the WAFL (that where the Eagles and Dockers had arrangements with a specific WAFL team and placed all their players in that one team). I was ever a truely passionate WCE supporter as they simply had the wrong colours and theme song. I was born with one eye red and the other blue which is to say a West Perth football club supporter. For those of you who do not know the WAFL, West Perth also has red and blue as its team colours as well as the same club theme song as the MFC and is the oldest club in the WAFL (was an easy choice to become a MFC supporter). I still remember the WCE reserve team (East Perth) smashing my beloved West Perth in the 2002 WAFL Grand Final. I will never forgive or forget that day, from memory I think East Perth won four Premierships in a row under the host club arrangements. My passion for the MFC has grown each years I have been a supporter. I have tremendous respect for all the long term MFC supporters who have not have Grand final success in 1964 but have remained loyal to the Club regardless. But every team has their day and how magical will it be when the MFC wins it's 13 Grand Final, it will be worth the wait. Also I have much more respect for any good football player who plays for a team that is not successful. Too oftain the media give too much regard to players who have won Grand Finals. But the simple fact is, if good players only wanted to play for successful teams then the same Clubs would always win. I too will remain a supporter of the MFC regardless of the actions of the CEO, President, Board, Coaching Staff or Players. So let the boys smash Collingwood on Monday! -
Sorry to say the MFC has as much chance of winning on Monday as it has of winning the 2013 Grand Final. But we can dream.

Chris Dawes - Footy Show
DemonFrog replied to The Song Formerly Known As's topic in Melbourne Demons
LOL In round 10 he only been able to play 3 senior games for the MFC. He has taken a few good marks but was recruited as a forward so should be able to kick more than one or two majors each week even with limited opportunities. He may or may not be a good speaker but surely we are not looking for a Captain of a debating team. There alot of talk going on at the MFC at the moment but talk is cheap, the Club needs action. The MFC needs it players on the field performing each week. The fact he from Collingwood is a worry as the MFC has had some bad experience from ex Collingwood coaches of late. So why would the MFC want Cloke, surely we could do better then that. Give Chris another season or two at the MFC before there is talk about him being Captain. -
Does Don need help with packing up his office?

I know the feeling and can feel your pain.

Peter Jackson: review of the board coming ...
DemonFrog replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Can I guest PJ conclusion about the MFC board. Its too disfunctional to make an assessment. -
Your attendance at games is needed ...
DemonFrog replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
If only the MFC players had half as much passion on field as some of the guys in this topic when the MFC would be unstoppable! -
Chris Dawes - Footy Show
DemonFrog replied to The Song Formerly Known As's topic in Melbourne Demons
Pity he can not kick straight! -
2 people voted for MFC to actually win! Love the passion but just want 1/2 a kilo of what you are both on. As I would make a fortune!
-
Its all making sense to me now. He comes from Collingwood to the MFC and now we worse then awful. It pay back for our 1964 Grand Final win! Dam those Collingwood fanatics have a long memory and are very unforgiving.
-
If that to Western Australia he has my vote! But seriously Melbourne belongs in Melbourne!

There does need to be unity, I absolutely agree and have supported the MFC five years ago when its started a major rebuild. I even joined the Club as a member last year to show my support even though I was very disappointed with the lack of on field success. I sat back watching events unfold over the years until the 10 goal loss to the Suns, then I had enough of staying quiet and saying nothing. How does the MFC take five yeas, have access to professional staff and other resources and spend 10's of millions of dollars to be in the position it finds itself today, a train wreck. It is clear to me that the MFC needs changes to a number of its senior position, not just with the head coach. I agree with the Ox and support his actions. I would vote for him as President of the MFC tomorrow if I could. I heard the argument that we need to wait and be patient. Well all I can say in response that that approach is "been there done that". What this approach has achieved so far is a team that is getting thumped each week, ineffectual board and coaches who live in Lar Lar Land. I personally don't like talking about individual players and their on field performance and leave that to others to comment about. I am looking to give my support to any group that wants to see proactive change within the MFC. That is where my unity will be going if thing don't change for the better.

Why would we want someone from Hawthorne to lead us? Next thing I will be reading is that Eddie want in as well (would not blame him as he is in Collingwood after all) Ox is the man for the job, he's already got my vote.
-
I am sorry I have gone too far! As no one should be a Collingwood supporter, they are CRAZY people,
-
Sorry had to go to the Urban Dictionary for the meaning of HTFU. You have simple proved me first belief of your comments. To use such language only belittles your comments in my view. Not really sure the MFC is for you have you ever thought of becoming a Collingwood supporter? I think you will fit right in there!
-
You lost me when you felt the need to use such colourful language. You can always tell when someone is losing a discussion when they revert to such tactics. Ox for President. he has my vote!

Report: MLB suspends 20 for performance drugs
DemonFrog replied to jnrmac's topic in Melbourne Demons
Can we wipe away the 148 point loss to Essendon as they were on Drugs when they beat the MFC, That will greatly reduce our losing margin. -
The MFC's current game plan is based on inexperienced players who are not at AFL standard. Aaron clearly does not meet this criteria and so he go!
-
I am sorry to say I had the same feeling over the past few weeks, that is to get beaten by enough for changes to be made to the coaching position. Unfortunately I believe a number of supporters have the same feeling. However the way you may want to put some good spin on the MFC's 2013 season, the simple truth is its a major train wreck. I respect the Ox more for making his public statements and encourage him to keep going. When can I cast my vote to elect him President! When the Train is about to have a major accident due to missing track further up the line, you would wont someone to pull the emergency stopping cable. However I do agree in normal circumstance public statements of this nature should be avoided but this is extreme times which requires a major change in most positions at the MFC leadership groups, both on and off the field. The comments I heard that Peter Jackson can not tell if MN is a good coach or not due to the mess of the coaching section. That comment should scares all MFC supporters more then anything the Ox may say publicly!
-
I have recently heard somewhere that Peter Jackson was quoted as saying the MFC football department is in such a state that he could not tell if MN can coach or not. If this statement is true then that scares me more then the fact MN is the coach.
-
Really sorry to hear you have lost interest in the MFC. Things always turn around and when that does happen it will be exciting to be around the MFC. Don't let the current coach get you down, he does have a family to support and he not particularly a MFC person other than he was employed by us. Hes a professional coach and as our President just said the MFC is a business.
