Barassi left..your point ?

Strangely well summed up. We actually dont know that the club has no idea. Its a very good point. There are people/companies that do external reviews. In fact there's a whole big world out there. You're very defensive of Mahoney. I only care about the jumper..the vlub..the personnel ...whatever. Im very defensive against mediocrity and bull excrement. Only a fool has himself as legal counsel. Only a foolish club isnt prepared to allow an outside unbiased review. We're floundering big time...drowning not waving.

Gold

What im saying is very simple..so keep up You dont review yourself. Do we need an external reviewer...like duh !!

Thanks. . Those stats AREN'T telling OUR story ! Ours is quite different !!

Or covering his own [censored] quick smart. How any review of a dept by themselves can be taken seriously beggars belief.

I would be the last to blame him for things going wrong...well certainly not just him. But he is curiously among it all. Kudos to him as being a survivor. Debacle Debarcle Tomato Tomarto..Potato Potatoe speaking of spuds.....

Be cheaper to just buy a breaky/gf ticket

???

Though i understand it ive never been the type to particularly matyr myself to this kind of immovable position. Quite frankly i value my time ...and money. Though , as many will/would, I follow the Dees and could never anotherI really dont see the enjoyment in suffering. Lots of other things to do and see. Life is short. Those that want to put it in terms of bandwagons ( and i dont subscribe. .however ) must surely see unless blind that ours is a old falling apart float from 1964's Moomba parade. Theres no semblance of a recognisable tune, the band is way off key, half the instruments are broken and held together with duct tape. The bandleaders wont get into sync and the conductor is busy whispering to the horses pulling this irrelevancy through a lost part of town because his map is old and hasnt been updated. I would relish that we are brave enough to be brutally honest, clever enough excise that which does not help and grow that which will. That might require very deep and thorough tilling. If the club doesn't then it will matter little what I or some others here do as elsewhere 30000 or so might make our views moot.

This lines up pretty well with what ive heard and know from other sources. Only the lapdogs ( and they know who they are..as do I ) who jump like rabid hounds the minute dissent is spoken of here on the boards want us to believe otherwise. Anyone thinking its all honky dory at the Dees ...well....you probably think reality TV is real too. Im moving to the country next year so will reduce my fees accordingly. ...but at still in two minds. There was once an era..a time when the MFC seemed a proud and honourable club. The whole AFL stinks these days. The game is [censored] with left right and centre. Our club says one thing...performs like another. Ethan is absolutely right...something smells ...and for good reason. Not sure i really care to invest in a rotten institution. My auto roll over is now off. Ill see what happens. I font NEED to be a member to enjoy life. I used to enjoy being a member. ..it's worn thin.

Man wins a cupie doll !! This is a symptom of what is wrong at Melbourne. This is not a trend...it's a trail

Eyes are opening

Nail on head. It's so incestuous within the FD ...this bloke knows that, played with that guy ..who coaches with...etc etc. Any attempt of an internal review is flawed. More so it smacks more of glossing over the problematic ones than of identifying them and calling to task. All we want is honesty.

**** one fault clearly is ???

He didn't. Had he though we'd probably have Mahoney. Damned either way perhaps

Or was he just not listened to...taken seriously etc.

What an odd thing to do really. It seems plucky on the first view but ...hell, Red etc would know...dont go asking questions ...or allow questions if the answers arent already known. Im not really that much in favour of these style of events to be honest. Surely the Club KNOWS what is wrong itself..surely. It just needs to get on with it . These fluff forums...rubbishy smokescreen in my view. Another form of spin..what next

You know we've got a rip snorter of a game ahead when even Titus can't be bothered pretending he has that much interest as to pick a winner.

and with any luck forgotten by Monday...then the sneaky exit out the back door in Tassie...2019 done and dusted

As neither team seem capable of crafting a win I therefore predict a draw 66 v 66 The Rossi's or the Volkls ??? Hmmm

You dont think his own admission he came back too early has no bearing ? The word injury gets bandied around. Injuries, sub-fit, susceptible niggle, underdone. Could all be the same thing. Reality is he played sub-capable.. at his own volition. Hopefully a full preseason might help. Lets roĺl with that.

A strange thing to argue over.

Hysteria. ..over what. This is a nothing game Its about a nothing club run buy a nothing mob that seems to know nothing about football ...despite inventing it !! No one's hysterical. Pretty much no one gives a [censored]. I dont. This season was over halfway through game 1. The only thing remotely akin to hysterical is the idea there's much reason or rhyme about anything we (mfc) do as being organised. At the moment some still talk interestingly of demon football minutae as though we actually can impact. Im sure some would post a thrwad about the changing list of lifeboat captains for the Titanic. Im sure the usual suspects will feign outrage. This game. ..the next are irrelevant. It's marking time. Ask a professional theyd agree if reluctantly. This takes something away from Chandlers debut i dont mean to dismiss that. Good luck lad. We're 17th. Thats a remarkable achievement. ....maybe not. Why this FD hasn't been summarily dismissed is anyones guess. Those that feel offended..oh well This week reinvents the Kruezer cup...havent we come a long way.

We all want to believe. ..
