Tigers Dayz

Congratulations Dees! For 50 years I was a dees supporter and member until recently going across to Richmond. Part of that reason was a 12 month suspension from this forum for vehemently opposing chasing Mick Malthouse, then Neeld, as coaches. Anyway, today was a great win for the Dees. Again Congratulations. I'd like to leave you with these words from a singing artist in 1982 named Toni Basil; Oh, Mickey, you're so fine You're so fine you blow my mind Hey, Mickey Hey, Mickey Oh, Mickey, what a pity You don't understand It's guys like you, Mickey Oh, what you do, Mickey, do, Mickey Don't break my heart, Mickey

Having left the Dees last year as a member and also a supporter for over 50 years and gone over to Richmond, I can't believe that Schwab is the root cause of MFC's problems. I always said it is a cultural thing in that there are no MFC demographics. There was one forum member on here recently who said the club needed an urban or suburban supporter base where the club and players could reach out physically to that base. I agree, but how that could happen I don't know. In my last year on this forum before being suspended from it for 12 months as Dees Dayz, Oct 2011 - Oct 2012, I was dead against the club going after Malthouse or any other Collingwood coach. Reaching out to Collingwood for football smarts was not very smart. Traditional MFC supporters should not have to cop that. Chasing Clarkson was the right thing to do, otherwise an ex MFC stalwart was needed. After Stynes united the club, the club should have awarded the coaching position to a Demon and closed up and tightened, a la Hawthorn. And have a look at the current assistant coaching staff... you have to be kidding me. Then to shaft Junior Mac, then toss other senior players for the likes of Rodan, Gillies etc.... well, is that an ex Collingwood coaching death squad approach? Any wonder the players have no heart to play for the MFC. Any wonder there is no on-ground leadership. That cannot be paid for or drafted. It has to be nurtured in a tough and uncompromising way. I was always shouted down on this forum when I doubted the benefit of tanking for draft picks. Especially with MFC's previous ten year or so record of poor picks and their inability to turn high draft picks into successful players, like Sylvia, Morton as a couple of examples. The term "winning culture" became dirty words on this forum through 2009 onwards. Poo-Poo'd by people I no longer see posting on this forum. This forum is lucky they are currently in hiding. Anyway, not my problem. I am now a Richmond Football Club member. An old-aged one, not prepared to waste my life further with MFC. But on the other hand, I wish MFC every success if they can extract themselves from this [censored]. The AFL does really need them to be successful.

I might rethink then... What number should I get. 52?

Dees Dayz delisted after 52 years and a 12 month suspension. Hi guys, I’m back after being suspended from this forum for 12 months. I was suspended for disagreeing with a potential Mick Malthouse signing for 2012 as coach, which was generally supported by the lexicons of this forum. I was further ostricised by comments I made that one could not disagree with any Rhino Richards comments who seems to be epitome of the culture of this forum ( a moderator) and perhaps the MFC. All of that is fine! I have been a MFC supporter since 1960 when I was 7yo. I was a gold member of MFC to 2011. When I was tossed out of Demonland, I discussed with my wife and family what we thought the culture of MFC was, and further, how MFC relates to regional people who are not MCC members etc. I declined membership of MFC this year while I decided exactly why I have supported the MFC for 52 years. I will be signing up with the Richmond Football club as a member in 2013. Obviously I won’t be returning to this forum. My children and grandkids can decide who they wish to follow for themselves

Time for some of you fools to pop-of the Demons and follow some other tribe. "Twist", off you go!

It's called 'selective judgement', my friend. And I love it! Don't give me [censored] about who knows waht!

Now let's just get our facts right here... Is M&M the best coach in the business, as he was a few weeks ago? Or is Chris Scott the best coach in the business? Perhaps we should have 'gone after' Chris, being a premiership coach, or should we have gone after Bomber Thompson (who was 'out of control' at 3/4 time duting Essendons final - he had no idea). You smart-arsed people, on these boards, who 'go for the best available "coach"' are full of crap. Oh, yeah, Let's get M&M and pay him a $1,000,000 a year.

What? Time to further loosen your attitude rpfc. But M&M is just a candy baby, on the outside....poor baby.

I would also be delighted if the 'Buckley' thing did not work out. This would povide me with more posts to greive High Tower (H_T), whom is evidently a Collingwood supporter, given the crap he loads on me regarding M&M.

Indeed, 'Bill'. I wish I was there with you in '64, I would have been 10, but I would have come in my MFC gear.

Firstly, I commend you for 50 years of paid up membership. Secondly, I think I'm in love with you for this. Thirdly, you still could not manage sh__t. Fact is, M&M is gone, and hopefully never to MFC. I'm over the moon with Neeld's appointment!.

What do YOU think H_T?

Not bitter, factual! And you've never managed s__t. BangkonkDemon, one day you'll support the MFC. If you want to run after M&M, then do it. Support the filth!

You gotta be kidding me Diablo Deemon! Get on the bus!
