Our track record of early draft picks isn’t great either

Effectively we are...what have we achieved???

Hawks will have 3 former number 1s whilst all in under injury clouds , Omera, Scully & Patton and not paying them crazy dollars & not giving the farm away either will more than likely play finals before the Saints & us!

Its D Day for a few from the Coach down..... No more excuses in 2020, new fitness coach along with other assistants. Players do a full pre season & we get similar performances it will Sayonara for Goody unfortunately!

You need forwards & mids to make leads for him .. perhaps not all his fault if no one is leading to the right areas of the ground

Just asking the question are we fighting as club to ensure the best deal?

I just wonder did the mfc demand the afl explain as tigers did with Ellis compensation. Tigers have won 2 flags yet they are fighting for the best deal.. does the mfc?

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
