  1. Buckley has caught my eye big time lately as has Morton. Both will be hopefully Guns in the Future. Buckley is so cool under pressure-good signs...
  2. We weren't successfull between 2004-2006. That's my point. I am talking about setting a high standard at the MFC & sticking to it. Getting Close regulairly is not good enough. When that Happens the club has to improve. Yes I agree that the Priority pick situation is not good for club culture, but i don't think that system will last forever.....
  3. Do we want a bunch of ex Shockers at our club?? They worry me even more concerning Fragility than this Great Club..Green is a good solid player who i would like to see stay but if he is asking too much money the club must be tough on this. Interesting Times await......
  4. We must Focus on Youth-paramount, otherwise in about 2-3 years the bottom will fall right out, then a sponsor would definately leave. With Youth sponsors can see ahead. No more Kelvin Templeton ideas again please!!!
  5. So you are prepared to accept the current culture that has hung over this club since Norm Smith was Shafted, & just say that's how it Goes. Lets talk Hawthorn for a sec. John Kennedy Built a winning Culture into that side in the late 50's, and it still lives today. Sure they Have Bad years but they Bounce Back. They won't beat Geelong this year but they will learn & Get Hungry for next year i got no doubt. You underestimate the power of a Good Culture. I want to see Melbourne Fill our Home Ground again, & i aint giving up on that vision....
  6. ND is a great Bloke & i Think it is great he is still part of the Big Footy Wheel so to speak. One thing Neale is, is a very good people person. He will be successfull ime sure. Hope he will always be welcomed to the MFC into the future...
  7. Don't agree. Winning Cultures do exist. Clubs like Carlton & Hawthorn Drop down yes, but they bounce back up quickly & Strongly. They do not accept Losing-when it happens they address it. Our up down up down seasons would not be tolerated at the Top Clubs. We must get Tougher-The Whole Club.
  8. The players don't tank. it's too risky with injury. The Clubs sure do though. But i Respect Bailey. After Q time he straightened them up & wanted a win. Next week against Port will give an even better indication of the "Dirty Word" Tanking. This Club should aim like Geelong. Win everything well regardless of opposition. Draft Picks 20 onwards are a total lottery anyhow-Worsfold Stinks anyway. He Knew about that Drug Culture & did nothing about it...His time will come.
  9. Not by the time he played for Melbourne he wasn't. Kelvin Tried hard but he was a Shot duck by the time he put the Red & Blue on
  10. Can;t Believe he waited a week to spray the Media. He is Right on the edge. The Pressure is on!!
  11. Not one of Sheeds greatest Decisions Courtney Johns. Not even up to VFL Standard....
  12. I remember games against Hawthorn in the late 80-90's where their supporters would laugh at me and others before the Game, and then Beat us by 80+ points. There was nothing i could say- they were right And nothing has changed.
  13. Spot on Pello....Interesting that Sandringham have had a winning culture pretty much since the Mid Eighties but it hasn't rubbed off on Melbourne. I Honestly thought after 2000 when Sandy won the Flag and the Demons were Runners up it was all about to roll. For melbourne i was sadly Wrong
  14. 13 People have voted for the Hawks to win a flag!!! Must be too young to remember the Eighties obviouslly!!
  15. The Great Culture Died when Norm Smith was Hung out to dry. We at present do not have a culture. Our Hey day was just too long ago. We have to start a new one-using the old one as a base. I think Bails is the man to do it. The CEO appointment will tell us a lot as to what direction we are going.
  16. Walk away. Cannot play, can't run, ordinary kick. WALK AWAY!!!!! Kelvin Templeton Flashbacks!!!!!
  17. Good to read someone else shares my belief. Without fixing the Culture-everything else is just a band aid...
  18. Cook is the Best tho Rhino. The Fact he played a few games for us is a Bonus. What he has done for west Coke & Geelong is amazing
  19. At least this week we get to play in our "real" jumper and not that God awful silver thing, I Believe Bailey has got the right idea, although a situation like last Friday should never Happen again. If it does we are in serious Trouble as a Club.. There were enough Senior Players in that side to know better. Kicking from the centre Square to a Totally Vacant 50 Arc!! Not Acceptable. It Happened so many Times. As well as A New CEO we could do with some better Assistant coaches Maybe. (I am sick of Being Laughed at for Barracking for the MFC) Get Tough.
  20. Correct you are, all i am saying is that if Brian Cook Played even a small amount of games for melbourne, we should do all we can to get him back in the fold, and i will continue to believe that. Good things can take time to eventuate..
  21. As far as i know it's a Hand shake deal. as i said "Everyman has his price" If Geelong win another flag wht more is there to do? Biuld another blue & White Grandstand-Woopee!!
  22. Yes i know, interested though as to which 2 Footballers you were reffering to as the thugs. I thought on their day they were all pretty good players when they concentrated on the Ball
  23. Is that so? How interesting. That surely means we need to quietly remind him that he needs to come home on a reguliar basis. Every man has his price
  24. Totally agree. After the cats kicked the first goal last week we were as Soft as Hot Butter. All the more sad when many Senior players were involved. Has Anyone ever seen Jeff White Get Mad and thus Fired Up. No he was the Gentle Giant. Maybe Rod Grinter, Laurie Fowler & Ray Biffin need to have a chat to the boys one night!
  25. Macca is a tough nut yes, Miller was a few years back (Fortunately that toughness is returning, Moloney can be but gets injured too often (Maybe his toughness gets him injured) but he must be more reguliar. Same with wheels, always liked him but he never strings loads of games. All the great sides had at least one tough nut per line-we must aim for that
