If it was only Collingwood!!! That would be better than sex!

this works for me! http://ten.com.au/ten/ten_video.html?chann...amp;bitrate=300 could be our captain sooner than we think

I would give anything to go, however, from my Support'em post, I think this may answer most responses.

Whilst I know every one is bleeding for house hold costs with petrol, food etc, the AFL/MCC has forgotten the fan AGAIN. Look at the cost rise to go to the G. The basic footy record, from $3.50 to $4 (+14%). I have purchased every footy recoprd and kept them all from the 60's. Not now!! Parking, from $6 to $8 (+33%). Apart from all the other cost increases on food and drink!! Now as I said I will always support and go to every game, but I wish I could get those types of increases. On a side note if the season goes to 17 home and away games, does this mean the players get some 30% less, and the costs to games go down by the same. I DONT THINK SO!!!!

I like most you, are a long sffering supporter. I, also like you will bag'em each week, if not for the what seems lack of a game plan, but basic skill errors by hand and foot. However, whilst we have not won the big one for over 40yrs, now more than ever, the MFC needs the support of us. I am sick of the butt of all jokes, "the who cares cup" and so on. For Gods sake we are the oldest team in the world and if nothing less we deserve respect. Now, our on field is far from the best, but I will be at every game, more so this year than any other. Listen to Barassi "IT'S UP TO US!!!!

Totally shattering. Can we stand another 21 weeks of this total embarssment!!

Yep the draft is only 7 months away

Was Daniher that bad. the new coaching staff doesnt seem to have made many changes, and our skill level is school boy standard

I hope the big wigs at the MFC keep at an eye on our site for the mood of the Demaon faithful. You are 100% correct belzebub59. Hate him or hate him E. Mc pulled C/W out of financial debt after their last CEO. Let other clubs good ideas become our good ideas and improve on them. The MFC need to be a power house again, both on the field and off!!

After our pre season, its going to be tuff to attract any new members!

sad we're talking draft plans already!!!

Thaks for the scoresw guys, but I think I'm glad I didn,t see it!

I wonder how the players and the club plan to attract members with the hidings we've been gettig in the past few week. I know its early, every one says this, but for crying out loud, in the famous words of John Kennedy "DO SOMETHING!!!!!!"

sick and tierd of hearing for years "There's good signs". we need skill, thats what we dont have!

well the draft looks good for this year!!!!!

Hi Folks, I have been a long suffering Dees supporter for so long and still yet to see a day premiership which would of course frustrates us all. This is my first post as I have always been a keen guest of this site so I thought it was about time I got off my *** and start to really voice my passion. This post is about the family day. What a disappointment. For all the razzel dazzle of our 150th year, it was so flat. 1. If they counted 4,000 people they must have counted the people getting off the busses walking through the park because the trains weren’t working at Jolimont, or they thought we were all from Tassie. (No offence), I recon possibly 2000. 2. Where were all of our high profiled supporters like John So etc? On a day like this it would have been fantastic to have celebrities who support the “Oldest Club in the World” (older than electricity and radio) showing support. As they say the MFC is “Melbourne”, the day could have been a tourist attraction. Other supporters would come to see “Our Day”. 3. Robbie Flower and R.D.Barassi were there, but that must have been a secret. The first I heard of it was on the day. If it was publicized you would hardly know it. Surely promoting these two icons would bring more suppers to the day. 4. Also other past greats should have been there. This is our biggest celebrations for years, and one of our biggest chances to make the Dee’s bigger than the B/W army. 5. Paul Gardner’s address was so lack luster. Love him or hate him ol’ Joseph’s address on family day was always with real passion that gave supporters really something to look forward to in the season. 6. Chris Connlley was great and you can tell he has the enthusiasm for the club. 7. Beverly O’Conner’s introduction of the players was great, but if there were other board members there, I didn’t see them and they weren’t on stage, and also should have been introduced. 8. There are a lot of new faces at the club this year, and even some of last year’s players look different. It was hard to recognize them. The younger kids, apart at times standing around looking out of place, and were on occasion introducing themselves to supporters. May be putting their names in the back of their shirt may of helped to break the ice. 9. I know the club needs money, but the price of some of the clothing, you would think it was made by Versace. $80 for a polo shirt? 10. Unless you were a true Dee’s supporter there was very little publicity for the day. You needed to check the web, hear the occasional spot on SEN, and that was about it. If there was more I apologize but it was not prominent. 11. On past family days the kids got a free show bag. Well that’s gone. And surely our contacts in the business and marketing world can do better than a raffle prize that gives you the use of a Volo for a weekend. There were a few other things however I don’t want this post to go on forever. There was not anything really different to add from any other family day and it was hard to add positives; I hate just being critical without saying what the solution is. This was a huge opportunity and unfortunately we missed it. We have a long way to go to catch up with the others. My spirit and soul is for the MFC, and my “Heart Beats True” and I want the MFC to be the power house of the 50’s as we should be. Remember no MFC, no AFL!
