Sir Why You Little

Playing Football at Casey Fields is Mediocre-That is exactly my point. Why go backwards??? Get the Supporter base on the Train to the 'G. It aint hard. I caught ithe train from Sandy to Richmond all the time.

We just need to get a strong stadium deal from the MCG. Something we have not had for many years. Casey is a VFL Ground. Get a deal similiar to what essendon get from Docklands. Why Spend money on a stadium when our home is already the best there is...The MFC has to strengthen it position in there i believe. Casey is a VFL Ground-Leave it that way.

I am more than happy for MFC to go to Casey to Train & Build a Supporter base out there. That is great. I am just totally opposed to playing Matches for points out there. We should aim to fill the 'G wiith large crowds. I will never support a boutique Stadium idea. I think it shows a sign of weakness.

Good to read Commen Sense on here. It can be rare...We will pick the BEST footballer going around-I have no Doubt. Who that is i shall wait for the club to tell me.

Fountain Gate is Kath & Kim Territory & as i worked on the first 3 series for the ABC, I know what that means!

Must we be Associated with Fountain Gate!! Oh Dear This is not good news. I need a lie down!!

As long as the Melbourne Football Club has chosen the No 1 Young Footballer in the country i will accept their decision. Watts being victorian seems to make sense, but i am not privvy to information. I am sure the Club will choose wisely. All of us have just gotta jump on board & make this club Rock again...

I yell my guts out for the MFC on Level 2 of the MCC Reserve. Not everybody is a "Silver Tail ?Toff who is a member at the 'G. I want to see MFC supporters all around the Ground all yelling together.

What's wrong with cheer squads around the ground. More Red & Blue Passion=more involvement. More intimidation for opposing supporters i say.

I heard that Guy this Morning aswell on SEN. Brilliant idea!! A Cheer SQuad in the MCC Reserve. It will work. For someone who has sat in the reserve all my life, there is a lot of passion in there even though those in the Outer may disagree. We must all join together in all parts of the Ground for the MFC Cheer Squad for the MCC-Just Do it Jimmy...

Chris Who?? He Chose to play for Carlton over Melbourne. I have always HATED Carlton and always will so CJ is now an enemy. That is all. Next....

Why Aim Low I do not understand. This club has done too much of that since 1965. Great, build a toy stadium out in the sticks that can attract 20,000 supporters. Why not aim to get 40-45.000 for interstate home games at the MCG?? Don't tell me it is not possible-it is. In 2008 we have 30,000 members. With good planning on & off the field (attractive Tough Footy) People will come to watch. A boutique stadium scenario is too much like the "white Flag, we will never be a big club". I do not barrack for a team that plays in springvale where a sausage sizzle greets me at the side Gate. The Melbourne Football Club must strive to play & Maximize ALL Home Games at the MCG. It is where this club lives.

Easy Dude. I would never say a bad word about the ability of Alan Johnson. Saw him play many great Hard Games. None better than the '88 Elim Final (he polled a perfect score in the Bluey for that one)

Why are people continually talking about playing "Home Games" at Casey Field on a Boutique Stadium? The MFC Plays Home games at the MCG, anythjing less and we are showing signs of giving up. The Aim of this Club must always be to attract more Spectators to the "G". I am Glad we have the use of casey Fields over summer, that is great. But a stadium out there is not going to work. We played (were Forced) to play Home Games at Princess Park (Visy) in the past-Nobody went. Telstra Dome when we play-Nobody goes. Why because its a Rip off-The Ground is to small & the Food is masssively over priced!! Sorry but that is the Bottom Line. The MCG all the way for me.

Please pass this idea on to Jim at the summit-I sadly did not recieve an invitation.... More merchandise available at Home (and away) Games very close to GATE 2 (MCC Members). If the Membership is only $50 For MFC Give we members the chance to buy Things as we are swiping the card. I Know there is a shop set up not faraway but it needs to be "in ya Face" Like Supermarket checkouts. I don't mind spending a little "Hard earned" if it is in my line of sight. Pro active selling. Make the MCC Entrance more Melbourne.

That is a very cool logo. I like it. Forward we move with our heritage proudly shown.

I would take Ben Cousins for 2 years on an Incentive based Contract. He loves playing on the MCG..I watched him win the Flag in '06

Bring back the '70's china man Demon!! Now he was a class act. Or the Demon from late 60's Twistie Packs-Very Reptillian looking Creature SELL TRIDENTS TO EVERYONE AT THE GROUND!!! Lets get EVIL

Bloody Hell i thought Jared Rivers had done a knee!!! I am sorry about your mate but please do not scare me like that!! Flashback to '95 Pre season with the Ox-depressing

That's good to hear a story like that. You could see Gary's Beard on the Southern Stand wing while sitting in the members!! But there were a lot of '70s porn star beards worn in the VFL back then. Bakers was the thickest i recall tho..

Let us not forget to that Bailey came to melbourne late last year & thus did not have a full pre-season to adjust to the club. Going into next year he will so Hopefully that will be an improvement factor in itself.

The Bottom line is we just have to win games-all these problems will ease if we can win some games & respectability. I sure hope the board are thinking along these lines, because everything else is just spin doctoring at the end of the day if we do not improve on the field. I am stoked we can get any major sponsor at the moment.

I am an MCC/MFC Member and i think that connection will be our greatest assett in the future, but i agree in part with all the above posts that at the moment it is completely under utilized. MFC Merchandise should greet me before i swipe my Card on home game days. Club Reps should be at Gate 2 Making us feel passionate about the afternoon to come. I have always thought for years that t MFC has never embraced it core supporters nearly as much as it should. I should write to Cameron Schwabb on this point-anyone know his email??

Its not sooking mate. Its a reality. Nothing wrong with being angry. The MFC is being treated like an old rag by the AFL at present. If they had any decency toward us they may throw us a little slack in the Pre season, but no...not a thing & then they lambast us for not having a good business plan. I really hope we can battle through this crap & some time in the future be in a position to stand up to the AFL. Time will tell

This is the way i have always felt. I remember Nathan Bourke speaking after the selection. He was genuinely knocked out by Baileys preparation & presentation. We have a very good coach at Melbourne. We need the other pieces..
