What this about only being in the 8, I want to see the MFC win another 12 Premierships within the next 20 years (need to leave something for the other Clubs supporters). But will settle with the being in the 8 next year, NO PRESSURE! Nothing wrong with being passionate as it really great to see. Keep it up Mate!

Oh well lets see what happens against Collingwood now the entire Footy Department has been put on notice by the Board? I not been a fan of MN as you all can tell from my posts, but here a chance for the team to show us all something (I so hate losing to Collingwood) and if they get with 10 goals I will be alittle happier! But honestly it all about 2014 and beyond for me at this point.

Does the MFC have the money to pay its players more? Not sure either a priority picks will do much good as it has not work in the MFC favour so far. Paying player more can also have it dangerous as not many of the current players are earning their salary now and the Club is obligated to pay most of the salary cap to its players. Better to fix the internal issue at the MFC first so to improve the selection and recruitment processes. Thus allowing a prority pick or increase in salary cap to work much more effectively.

I think you guys are talking about Dumb and Dumber! Good rid to both of them.

With out Frawley we are in trouble!!!!

If it was not today it will be sometime in the future, he an awful coach and the MFC can do so much better,

Think you mean 2014. Oh well I will prepare for total annihilation for the rest of the season (think that 14 more games). I can see this year is be one of breaking all records and not in a good way. Although I have heard Casey can actually play the MFC game plan, Are we allowed to recruit them for the rest of the season?

Another sign of weak leadership at the MFC. Oh well I know what I will be doing with my vote later on this year.

OMG they taken away the blue and red! The pain of it all.

the meeting was not for the new MFC playing outfit?

Totally agree.

Its the all expenses paid dinner time

You just dont understand the game plan. Its all about getting smashed in the first half so they will let their guard down. With the MFC is the second half that counts, if only the boys were a little fitter they would have had them.

Sorry but I have lost faith in the Board when it comes to making any on field decisions, they did very well in debt reduction but clearly have little understand about how to achieve on field success.Personally I will only have faith in an independent evalution of the MFC football department which includes Peter Jackson opinion.

Bad messages is the reason MN should go, well not at all. He should go because he has a terrible win/loss record and he is not able to coach at a basic AFL standard. Under his leadership the playing group has gotten worse, the MFC will be lucky to win two games this year from four the previous year and 8.5 the year before he coached the Club. Not sure you been watching the games but the MFC is awful (But its the MFC so I will keep watching regardless). Its a mistake to listen to MN as he only makes the thinking person more upset as he sometimes does not think before he speaks. I still remeber him say how surprised he was after the 148 point loss to Essendon (surely an compedent AFL standard coach should have saw that a flogging was about to happen).

P_Man if you are coming from the West I will kept you company on the flight over to Demonland (too many pagan Eagles and Dockers supporters over here)

You have my vote to become the next President of the MFC!

David Neitz was an awesome player, it was an honour to watch him play. He be in my best 21 for the MFC anyday of the week. Absolutely love the guy (both as the captain and a player).

You are right to say that he may stay but in my opinion if MN stays its for one of two reasons: The board is incompentant, or The MFC can not afford to get rid of him yet. However what ever decision is made by the Board atleast the members know what is happening, or until they change their minds again, if the orginal decision is for him to stay (see point 1). B)

That where we must disagree. I believe the current problems are in a major part due to the current Senior Coach's actions. With the players we had at the time of his appointment he was not suited to be the NFC Senior Coach. His game play was never going to work unless he made major changes, which he did make, I am sorry that he was setup to fail which he has in such a big way. You don't make the team as bad as it is overnight and called it development. Better to stage the rebuild so atleast the team can compete at a basic AFL standard.

Good point. But I think the suceess with an inexperinced coaches had more to do with the position/potential of the playing list they inherit, the MFC has a massive way to go before its is even able to compete at a basic AFL standard. Its important to get an experience coach that would suit the style and abilities of the current MFC playing group. As the MFC does not want or need another major rebuilding program. There is good players at the MFC, just not enough of them. Also the advantage of an experienced coach is to rebuild unity at the MFC between members and supporters. As can be seen in these forums there are two major groups which is based on the removal and retention of the existing Senior Coach. The coach should be someone most members and supporters respect and will allow time to undo what is wrong in the football department.

I am finally starting to see the game plan of the MFC.It is to get toally smashed in the first two quarters so as to catch the other team off guard in the second half. Just need a little more fitness in the four quarter and we should have them. I so loved the 51 point comeback against Fremantle in 2008 and just know they team can do better given the chance. Loved how Buddy was contained. Also there are a few players who did show they can play, but its always hard to judge when the team gets totally outplayed in so many positions.

I hope you are right, its just the MFC has made a mess of the last two coaches, I must admit I lost alot of faith in the process.

How could I have been so wrong. Shame on me for wanting MN gone after he achieved so little on field success in the past 18 months and has even managed a lose to the Suns by over 10 goals. Lets give him a 10 year contract extension with no KPI what so ever as he has shown such an great understanding of the game that few can ever match. If he stays, I think the MFC will have a strong and loyal membership base of about 2,000 within the next 2 years and by the 10th year, the Club should be a great VFL team again. Who need to play in the AFL after all they only focus on winning. There is so much more to Aussie Rules Football them simply winning matches. With a few chock raffles and bingo nights the MFC should have the funds it needs to operate successful, major sponsors have an expectation that their money should show a return on their investment so are they really needed. As the young players (not that the MFC has many teenages) get older and more experienced then they can always be traded or other wise got rid off to allow for someone else who has less experience the chance to develop their playing skills. This should extend the MFC redeveopment phase for another five or six years (just don't tell anyone its been about five years already as it may upset someone). With leadership like this at the MFC do we really need to worry about the future!

As previous said in another post, I would willingly give to any fund for the replacement of the current senior coach. But still alittle worried about the selection process of finding a new senior coach as it was so flawed last time.
