Is it bad to get shitty watching my brother enjoy tigers win?

Successful clubs that win flags maintain period of success which sees them play in number of prelims... Tigers 3 prelims in a row, Pies 2 prelims in a row & both sides possible will have played in the last 2 out of 3 GF. MFC has a poor track record of this... 87-91= 2 prelims, 1 GF 94 prelim then no finals in 95 98-2006 = 2 prelims, 1 GF 2018 Prelim, 2019 disaster

Goes Deeper than top ups.....culture, development... How did May turn up underdone? not sure what the process is but are new players not introduced into their leadership group/Fitness condition coaches to lay out what the expectations are? Or do they just turn up to pre season?

Agree need right people around Goodwin who have tasted success, target Hawks assistants... Not many of our best 22 would based on 2019....Gawn

Yet to see anything to suggest his gone...all games by both sides as many moves need to be made all just playing their cards.

I wonder what/how Pert would thinking or analysing how to handle members/supporters & a club that hasn't seen the ultimate success & played in only 2 GF in last 55yrs? How do you strip away so many decade of layers of failure & misery?

Top players like Lynch are attracted to premiership success, tigers prior to the flag win were not a destination club & were are mess for 35 years eating their own & almost did after 2016 again. To attract top talent you need to be successful or pay way overs e.g. Hill to the saints 900K as reported.

Tigers got the right people in e.g. Balme as football manager There draft picks before the success are better A+ e.g. Cotchin, Revolt, Rance, Martin Their drafting/Free agency Lynch Prestia Stronger leadership/culture MFC have cleaned out their assistance inc new Fitness coach, so time will tell. How many A graders do we have Continuously poor drafting, we missed out on Josh Kelly for Tyson & Salem( salem is good nut no Kelly, Tyson can't get a game at Nth) Wines for Toumpas who got delisted. I know all clubs get this but FFS we always do! Drafted 2 key Backs Lever with another knee & May who come in unfit, we are paying big $$ for key backs how many other clubs have done that We lose a gun Hogan & expected Macca & Weids to fillthe void????? Leadership/culture questionable as can't be seen e.g. Selwood/Danger always shine, Cotchin very strong, Jones/viney?? Goodwin struggled by his own admission in dealing with the disastrous 2019, questionable game plan, getting smashed on the outside. Who will they draft now for outside run/speed & another fwd Will the mess up pick 2? history suggest so

If there’s an example of a footy club just like the MFC that was in turmoil & going around in circles for decades, burning coaches and able turn it around with getting in the right people & recruiting the right players. Just look at Richmond.

Need outside run, in an under we have , need a Lynch upfront lol, tigers went for quick fixes with Lynch & Prestia . We just usually are jinxed drafting players doing their knees

Tigers recruited from other clubs Lynch,Prestia etc but further developed them, agree with but unfair on lever, may showed if he’s body is right he can play, question is will he get his fitness right

Josh Kelly & Ollie Wines... we are a joke not picking them! Toumpas, Tyson.. looks great hey Salem is ok

Prob more like 6-8 ... the reality is teams win flags not players.. it’s all about the game plan & disciplines.. Brereton has stated many average premiership players.

What’s even worse is my brother never buys a membership & said if tigers win another flag he will back off watching afl! Im the idiot 20+ year member!?

We are so far off it after watching Richmond tonite....

I’ve now witnessed 5 decades of failure at the mfc , 70s 80s,90s ,2000s, 2010s

Our recruiting is very poor.. Tigers have recruited well, Prestia, Caddy, Lynch we swap our early pick Tyson, Salem & miss a star like josh Kelly.. pay overs for lever & May

Already had a preseason camp debacle.. do we want another one? Damaged goods & players hate him @ the crows ..

Only Swans can get away with salary cap cheating

Feel for the lions out in straight sets, played well all year & hope the mfc take a leaf out their book! Gws please smash the filth!

The majority of other teams found a way to play 6,6,6... wtf didn’t the mfc????

We are slow & risk losing a defender with speed! He turns over the ball but perhaps if our forwards etc moved to the right space he would find targets! Too much upside to let him go, but as usual he will go to the hawks & be a premiership player!

Didn’t affect the top 8 sides playing finals ...ffs what has this club been doing since Roos took over in 2014??? Were are all the so called leaders they should have developed by now???

Wtf is wrong with this club??? I have followed/member past 50 years & just one disaster after another. I’ve only witnessed 2 periods of sustain somewhat finals success Northey & Daniher with both making GFs. Yet after that fall in a heap!

Only the MFC could find a way!
