Still Waiting

There's going to be some very sad faces if we make finals but lose.... with our shots at goal being quite unacceptable. Generally we are not overly skilled in the kicking area around the ground too. It's up to the individual players to work much harder on foot disposal. Other teams have keenly addressed this but we are yet to enjoy improved scoring %'s. Quite happy with the W though, well done girls.

A big dose of reality please! Yes we were super but this was only Collingwood, not one of the top sides! We were good enough to have an 8 goal win but the most gratifying thing is that we will actually improve massively on today's performance. Well done boys. Stay close and work for each other and with each other. Good job today.

Pretty happy now, that he takes up no space on our list. Has been ordinary at the cattery. His illness may be real but his ordinary attitude and fitness is real-er !!! He isn't a very good AFL player now and won't be ever again. Has natural ability bigtime, but not the mind to apply it, nor a willingness to do everything that is required. Just because you are diagnosed with depression does not always mean you cannot shine at something in life. (In this household I live with someone who has made this fact, very clear.) Depression can be repetitive but also fleetingly annoying and frustrating. Telling porkies is the 1st thing you need to address. Doing something to fix things is the 2nd step. Open-ness is the 3rd step. This bloke is not tackling things in a normally advised manner. Only he can change things and it seems that wont happen. He shows classic signs of high end selfishness. We don't need that and are now in a good place with our list.

This is one of the best "left field" picks we have made in many years. Oliver is already an elite player and just needs to settle into the tempo of AFL to potentially become a top onball player within 2 or 3 years. His size is an absolute bonus but it is his reading of the play that astounds me. There is not ever going to be a backwards step in his game. He will give you a fierce contest every time. He also has that fantastic ability to absorb hard knocks and bounce up looking for another contest. His game compliments our other onballer's skillsets beautifully. We all need to just accept that he will take a little while to settle in, but I think we have another elite young footballer at our club. A few bucks on him for 2016 Rising Star award status might be worth considering.

Check out the guns on Jack Viney!

He must earn his place and our newer players have just as much skill but seem far more aggressive than him. He will really struggle to make our best side in 2016. Unless he flicks the switch....................he is done! A good prospect to lead Casey and perhaps guide the brand new recruits into the AFL system. Nice bloke but seriously lacks commitment to the hard ball and that wont change now. He has had a very disappointing career so far.

Super fullback who was a champion in his own right. Lucky to share his surname and I eventually had some success as a fullback myself in the old ESCFA. RIP Tassie and thanks for the memories. Another member of our best ever side now taking his place upstairs. Geez we have the basis of a truly great side up there now.

Has potential off-field baggage, has no footy nous, played 1 good game in his career thus far, we don't need another "could be anything, type" , would keep a young up-and-comer off our list, however he does offer a magnificent physique and athleticism. Not sure this warrants a spot at MFC.

Another nuffie who was over rated and under performed. His manager brainlessly thought he would get huge offers from everywhere. Shows once again how good our recruiters are. Not capable of taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Reckon he will struggle at Buckleywood. Think his time as an AFL hack is very limited. There is a lot more to playing at this level than taking "high school speccies" over other nuffies. Howe good are you Jeremy ????? well you are going to be coached by the original FIGJAM and that will suit you, because you are simply not that goode. [censored] outta here ya whingeing POS traitor. Not welcome here.

Anyone who thinks Steve J would be a great pickup for the MFC shows a complete lack of understanding of where our club is and where we want to go. Our recruiting is still easily the most underwhelming in the AFL. Complete your tasks recruiters, or get outa here.

Petracca's brothers play for Mitcham in the Eastern F L . Fair players too.

1st Qtr = game over. Now for all those who thought I was way too hard and out of line on our club last weekend. Today's 1st qtr was insipid, gutless, heartless, pathetic and unbelievably bad. This is only Carlton, a club without any good players or performances this year. Our club now has no future. Can Roos show we have improved just one miniscule bit in 2 years? Not sure he is our answer anymore. We don't man up, we drop simple chest marks, we don't chase, we slip over, we kick to the opposition, we miss easy goals, we stand off the action and spectate, we are a crap club. No more memberships for me. I will only watch footy where players have heart, have a go. Local footy is where I go now. To all the protectors of our rabble list of players, hope you enjoy the pathetic club that was once so grand. It is simply embarrassing to follow the MFC now. F C S show some heart Melbourne. You are a pathetic football club right now and have been for many years. All it takes is a will to win. You just don't have that anymore. Roos, show some emotion towards this inept bunch of pretenders. If I am wrong , prove it Melbourne.

We have gone backwards since 2013. Are we really this bad Paul Roos? It's time you told many of the players the real truth. Stop being so bloody nice to them in public. Still ashamed ! You all need to lift your work ethic, on and off field, players and officials alike. Other clubs all treat us with contempt. How does that feel?

It's even more embarrassing than 2 years ago. Roos is simply not improving this club. Time to look outside again. One day we will get it right.....................like in 2075 or thereabouts. Players are no better equipped than they were when Roos arrived, why not ?? I've had enough of this, not going to even check scores anymore. Just gives me no pleasure at all these days to follow the MFC.

1/ The success in the 60's even allowing for the fact that a brother eventually played at Tigerland in the late 60's. 2/ Robbie by a street ,also Wizz, Ox, AJ, Stinga, Jako, Barrass, Hassa, Big John Lord, Big Bob Johnson, Jimma, Hardeman, Parkes, Carl, Stanley A, Wellsy, Toddy, AJ, 3/ Making the 88 GF. 4/ Jimmy's little over the mark faux pas ! ...............closely followed by our recently improved recruiters. 5/ Just hate the way many are still prepared to never "critique" when it is more than justified. Lets all steer towards a more positive result soon.
