Sir Why You Little

It never bothered Whorethorn or Jeelong and they go after top line players every year. Whorethorn lost Franklin and became a better side and won Back to Back Premierships. By next year there will be a mid season draft, so there will be more player traffic. If anything we need to be more aggressive at Trade Time (although we have been pretty good since 2014) Top line Players are that because they win games, we have often been too precious with players and if we are to win Multiple Flags, we must trade for what we need Whorethorn style, Target the player and get the job done, Lever was done this way precisely. I was impressed because I was told of the strategy by someone close to the inside during the bye week before the finals, weeks before it was a done deal.

Got to keep upgrading the list every year. If Sloane is available, then we should be on the front foot, if we don’t land him, another club will. Midfielders get injured, they are in the guts and frenzy. Sloane would be great right now as Viney is out for a long time Never think static

Wow. That is fairly damming towards AFL House

Bernie doing us a great service..

I can. They didn’t cut it. We will be a much better team now no more one armed tackles

Stop it!!

Only if we have a good season....

I knew this would come back the Head Coach was usurped by a large group of his players, those same players who choked a Finals Berth at the last hurdle, but, who refused to do what Craig Bellamy and the Mighty Melbourne Storm do every year.... How would you feel? These unnamed 14 had better play the best season of footy they have ever played.... otherwise the club will get ripped apart come August/September

“Protect the Children....”

It’s only just begun...!

9 years at half pace was enough

Negative Speculation, ??what’s negative about wanting “New” Members rather than just the rusted on resilient ones?? You are troll who just enjoys repeating yourself A good little Tiger ? Supporter is the Dr. Who... god only knows why he lurks in here...

Slobbos normal writing style...

This club has always been 1 step forward and 2 steps back since 1965 Last year was a classic example of it

Rubbish. If we had made finals last season we would be at least 5,000 more members right now than we are today...

I don’t find the Storm boring to watch at all, i am proud of them as a club and i am not a Rugby person at all. But that club did not flinch when Gallop threw everything at them, if the MFC were stripped of points during a season, the whole playing group would collapse and splinter. Bellamy kept the boys together and focused We should be learning from them, not rejecting their methods Respect....

What has that got to do with anything?? A few years ago The Melbourne Storm were stripped of all points and 2 Premierships , because Of Brian Waldron. They played the season for zero points and would have still qualified for finals. Rugby League is a tough game, whether you think the comp is dying or not. To question the opinions of Craig Bellamy, you can do that at your own peril. The guy is a genius coach, and for him to stay at The Storm for so long, must kill so many of the hierachy in Sydney.

Spot on LH. Craig Bellamy is no fool, so those who opposed the camp better have a plan B ready, for when the pressure is on. It will be applied, we will still be regarded as a club with a vulnerability this year. At the first sign of weakness Clubs will go all out on us. Bellamy knows mental toughness. His career has been turning Rugby League nobodies into multiple premiership players.

What are you talking about?? you contradict your own figures. For the MFC after 160 years to have only 36,000 members on its books is a sad situation. IF we had made the finals in 2017 and built some momentum we would have over 40,000 members now, before the ball is bounced in 2018 but the players choked and that momentum was lost.

Miss the point completely again Dr. Who but you will take no notice

Pay that one Wise!

Yes ‘82 there is a bit of that, but Finals are the real deal

Yep. That is the way we all must look at it. The MFC needs to be a part of September, it’s when real stuff happens. It’s why other clubs have 70-80,000 members, they make Finals.

We deserve what we get up till now This club has delivered nothing for decades, so the should be thankfull to have at least 35,000 at this stage. IF we can climb the ladder and stay up there, i have no doubt we can have 100,000 members in 10 years. Melbourne population is exploding. We must use our name to great advantage, but the players and coaches must drive this. It’s all about on field results

Cool ? They must be seriously juicy documents The AFL won’t split from ASADA. Too much money ? from the Federal Reserve would dry up. Still so much we don’t know about Essendrug... line in the sand ASADA
