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.

Who is Dwain Wussel anyway? Just another wannabe who cannot hide his emotional ties to today's big losers! He is a tossa of the highest order.

Cop that Geelong you stuck up pack of whingers and divers!

He is a nice lad but simply does not have any mongrel in him. Will be moved on along with Grimes who just doesn't have the natural ability to fire up!

Hogan simply has to get a rising star nomination now! If he doesn't lets let the fools at the AFL know about it!

Roos has had some reasonable payers elsewhere. He has 2 or 3 at this club. Some of the "efforts" of our players seem to show a complete lack of heart. The commitment is pretty much zero. The future is almost now gone. The club is apparently doomed.......................................................................or is there still a tiny bit of pride somewhere? The President needs to come out publicly aloud and tell the playing group how stupidly inept they look. Our final chance is seemingly to embarrass the hell out of them. I can't bear the thought of travelling all the way (3 hrs) to a game to be served up that shite. OK players, who is going to have a real go next week? There are a few VFL sides that would toss them at the moment. Maybe even Carlton or the Saints. I'm nearly done! I am over all the [censored] promises. I'd just like to ask each of the players one thing..........................."Who is genuinely embarrassed to be playing for this club?" The answers would be totally enlightening!

If for some reason the Swans pass on 17 y o Josh Dunkley with their 1st pick we must swoop. He is Captain of Gippsland Power, an interleague Gippsland League rep at only 15 (seniors) plus named in (Sale premiership year) GFNL league team of year. He, as a 1st year Power U/18 player made Vic team in 2014 and has dominated all levels he has played at since he was barely a teenager. Built beautifully and has an abundance of skill sets too. There is a 14 y o younger brother hovering around Sale now as well. Dunks snr coaches him here in the Sale u/16's and they are always a premiership contender.

How is it that Gawn, after a few ? years at the club, still can not kick ???????????????????????????????? Roosey, a lot of target practice is required ASAP. Footskills at our club are abysmal if not worse. Overall I rate our kicking as a 5.75 out of 10. This is the AFL, not year 2 at the local primary school. Gawn seems to have a few mates that also have this dreaded strain. C'mon Dees, fix it up straightaway. Endeavour was good but skills still a long, long way off being anything near acceptable. Hogan is a monster that is already being talked about at other clubs. He is Neitz reincarnated. Jones is now top 25 in the league.

Journo's are employed for one thing only.........................to write fairytales about happenings that don't exist in the real world. This sells daily rags apparently and in turn feeds these ravenous creatures along with their repugnant offspring. Occasionally there is a hint of actuality but this soon vanishes when truth is uncovered in their mind's own dungeons. It's a shame that much of the printed stuff that emits from their ramblings is not even suitable for mankind's most putrid daily ablutionary exercise. Ahh yes, journo's are not a flavour/odour that you could get comfortable with , nor be inclined to spend your hard earned sheckles upon nowadays.

Present days it's GAJ, Pendles (who's youngest bro has just signed on at Balwyn, from here in Sale), Wines, Mitchell, and the big Hawk Roughie. Used to love Kelly at the Swans, Sticks Kernahan, and Hocking at Geelong.

"HAD" some CERDENTIALS! I think you mean "credentials" and if he gets run down like that too often he wont be playing much for the Squarwks. By the way, that was one of many very ordinary blunders that even his skipper Hodge has publicly stated his disappointment on!
