Why would you let your fastest defender/player on your list go in a side aching for speed? Mahoney & Goodwin need to answer this! Watch him excel at the hawks were his forwards will lead to space & will hit targets! Another ex demon who will improve at another club & win a flag!

Would like to hear from Mahoney why we are giving up our quickest defender???

I just don’t get it .. our fastest player when we lack speed coming out of defence??

So we are losing our fastest player Frost in a team that lacks speed???

Tigers, pies, gws had lots of injuries but their system, culture ensured they won enough games ... club needs to turf out the excuses don’t worry which draft pick number a player comes onto their list. Look at the tigers drafting... most premiership sides of recent years are similar it’s their systems/culture!

Most threads on demonland are about the lack of success of the MfC. I’m really no different to the rest. The club is having a members forum to discuss the on field performances.

How do you bring about change then?? Perhaps let sit around a fire & say how wonderful & successful the MFC is!

Most players want look great in any side losing a GF by 90 points.... Getting players to your team is one thing but how will they perform goes bak to structure, system, culture, development

Great research, what can I say its a discussion site, though I don't like being negative the reality is what it is about the status of the MFC.

Maybe thats why Tigers are winning flags as players are more team orientated...

How does the MFC compete against the bigger clubs in Victoria now? With another sleeping giant awoken Richmond attracting 100K membership along with the Hawks, Cats, Pies and with the other sleeping giants of Ess, Bues & even the Saints. Will the MFC run out of time to gain its share or just make up the numbers for survival?? With no home base were do we celebrate as fans after seeing tigers Swan st celebrations, the streets of Casey??? We train at Gosche paddock with our admin all over the place & yet no solution?? Why can't we develop Gosch paddock into a proper training venue like the pies did & build training & house all of our football/marketing etc under one roof

Norm Smith saying ...”To him, teamwork was all. He firmly maintained that 'weak men can't win premierships'.

Tigers played in 2 gf & won 2 ... played in 3 prelims in a row .. need to take opportunities eg cats sin 2011 have played multiple fines but can’t get through..

How do tigers get a player like Pickett & yet we continue to get very average players!

It’s never one thing .. it’s about bringing in good people , our recruiting is still questionable with paying overs on lever/may, not convinced on Pert either. Balme has done wonders in every club he’s gone to. Are our players selfless? Our leadership on field is poor!

It’s up to the club to push thru this & become successful.. tigers were a basket case for almost 4 decades due to poor choices at the draft players, to coaching & people running the club. They have shown that get the right people & make good decisions & success comes!

People will think it’s negative to post this but as each decade goes by I get a hollow feeling of watching others celebrate their teams flag! Such a hollow feeling from what promised out of 2018 along with so many other false dawns!

I’m sitting in a room with 8 other guys who have seen a flag.. just another season watching others celebrate

Well said, its a democracy & all should have the freedom to express their views either way negative or positive. Lets hope the club can break our flag drought to come together & celebrate!

Every year I buy a membership & hope to experience what my tiger, bulldogs, hawk supporter mates have. I hate talking negative but as MFC supporters we certainly haven't had much to cheer about.

We went from the most feared, respected club to an irrelevant club.. Norm Smith before his departure said the MFC is slipping.... enough said

Not having a crack at the player... having a crack at our development & how so many picks have failed & our club sits were it is! Yet each year I buy a membership in hope the club will break its 55 yr drought

What’s pathetic is the acceptance of mediocrity the mfc has dished out the last 55 years...

Port Adelaide delists one-time Melbourne captain Jack Trengove after two years at Alberton http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-09-25/former-no2-draft-pick-among-trio-of-power-cuts Very sad & a reflection of how poor & pathetic our footy club had become .. a club more obsessed on securing early draft picks & thinking they would just develop, rather than building programs & systems to develop players whether pick 1 or 50., set club back 10+ years
