The effort last night has inspired me to join this forum, such is my disillusion towards the MFC at the moment.
I question the players we have let go in the past years in comparison to the players who have stayed on or have come on board.
Interesting to note that players such as Simmonds, Jolly doing well for their respective clubs. We have Johnson and Jamar.
Woewodin, sacked for an unknown reason (enlighten me!), while Yze can't be [censored] picking the ball off the ground.
We don't go deep enough in the draft! We don't take the hardline approach that must be taken sometimes! We keep passengers like Yze only because he is a favourite among the Melbourne faithful and the coach. Football doesn't work like that. If someone is under-performing, they cannot stay. I only mention Woewodin, because arguably, he is in the same bracket as Yze. What makes Yze different from Woey? Neale seems to try to avoid being to reactionary during games (to his detriment IMO), and this filters down to list management. CHANGE IS GOOD! You must be proactive. Kids learn this is their high school commerce subjects!
I've had a gut-full. Never have I felt this disillusioned towards the MFC. The club culture stinks. It's rubbish. I almost feel sorry for youngsters like Petterd who are not yet clouded by the MFC culture. How bleak! No wonder we're critised for being fair whether supporters. There is only so much hurt you can take. I must say however, I'm NOT a fair weather supported and NEVER WILL BE! The more you love the club the more it hurts. And I'm hurting.
Enough of a rant. I'm only frustrated as I'm sure all you are. My main issue is the player turnover at our club. Love to hear your thoughts...
