Dateline 2036: I'd like to begin by thanking our sponsors... surprisingly still here.. yes Hertz to be Melbourne ..and anything resembling a game plan is just a Furphy !! Thanks to Haymes.... no better for painting over cracks than Haymes. Want Learnings and Insights then IG are your people. We certainly rate Learnings here at Melbourne. We've identified some of our problems with scoring effectively. We've traced it to some guys out there who can't kick for [censored] !! We've implemented some changes to strategies to compensate for this as we've no real ideas as to how to teach anyone to kick. We're also disbanding our forward line as it really hasn't worked too well these past 15 years and we need to move with the game. We'll now add players to the midfield and stack the backline as we concentrate more on defence. Whilst you're all here I'd like to address rumours of Max Gawn’s retirement... totally unfounded and we expect him to go around next year. You can take that to the bank. We recommend Beyond. We also have Max's golden boots insured by Zurich.. Go ... ummm... go.... umm... just Go you good team. Nap time

Used an archaic kicking style.... think it was called the Drop Punt...

🤔 May I ask... draft or trade ? Our drafting probably gets a pass ( tick ) . I'm struggling tbh to think of any trades that have particularly benefited us in recent times. Who were you thinking of. Genuinely curious. Cheers

Confirmation, indeed any real information is not a forte of the MFC

I have been getting zero fun or enjoyment watching us. When it's patently obvious to those that see ( not just look ) what is wrong and yet all we get is spin ( a lot of bloody spin !! ) and repeat with only the settings on the machine changing a bit now and then but the results are damn near the same. Where are these positives ?? The most damning fact of this Club is that more often than not it isn't even the opposition that beats us.. We manage that quite nicely all by ourselves by kicking us out of wins !! How bloody clever are we ?? Btw... it's not up to me to provide these positives. There are folk paid, and paid extremely handsomely to do that. Not thinking it's much bang for buck atm.

I have absolutely nothing against Simon. I think he and Ooze did a wonderful job 👏 🏆 I think he's an intelligent kind of bloke with well meaning intentions. I simply think he has run his race. Does he possibly know this 🤔 🤷‍♂️ If he reads the room correctly and indeed sees a bigger picture he might garner even greater respect by bowing out on his terms. He could do well to negotiate a deal to leave. Everyone's a winner and we move on. Or .. ??

Where have all the happy clappers gone from the threads ?? Time to wake up and smell the ...... well the aroma around Melbourne isn't Roses that's for sure.

Oh look.. Echo...echo... echo.. Been saying this for how 🤔 long. There comes a time.... And that time is now

It's terribly sad to realise this. We simply don't get it do we.

Becomes hard eh....

Edit.. credit Vnightcitylegend for highlighting how Goody has been espousing the same [censored] for years !!!

I still like the idea of location and potential. That said how au fair are we really with the facts , as a club let alone us members. Seems we're looking more and more like dumb [censored] bunnies tbh. Embarrassing. And some ppl still getting paid ;)

Sobering

Did it the othe week handing off to Milkshake. There should always be someone(s) running past for options

We aren't a clever club are we

Pert still gets a cheque ??

Starting to think it's all an adventure in bs.

It's a little Schroedinger and at same time not. Does that make it Schroedinger-Schroedinger ?? Changing coaches guarantees nothing other than different. Goody goes, Someone comes ... what changes ?? Well that's the $64 question though probability and logic suggests it won't be the same. Better ?? Who the ..... knows. Ideally you have ( that is club has ) chosen someone displaying a new direction. Or... do nothing...get nowhere. Nowhere ?? Well the same b.s. has been rolled out year after year. ( refer post above somwhere references Goodwin press conferences.. same,same , same ... and...................yep ) The Brickwall needs a rest !

I kind of agree... or want to, but there's a huge problem, it's not just a matter of doing something just a little bit different. For us it seems to be something very much materially different. This week does brilliantly highlight the supposed 'small' disparity.. if only !!

Nailed it. British Bulldog 1,2,3 Footy's equivalent a force majeur. It's really the dumbest game in town atm.

Let's be serious. What difference does it make who coaches the forwards ..IF... if Goody's game pays scant respect to honour leads. I see nothing in our footy that does. We just lob on heads

The Age 01/04/2029 Latest word emanating from the MFC suggests planning is well advanced pending Council approval. The City of Monash, despite some reports of protests from some councilors,has announced work is progressing on plans to reinvent the old Clayton Tip into a state of the art sporting facility. The football club acknowledges past disappointments and false starts but insists the new location is perfect suited to the club's needs. A spokesman for the club insists all rumours to the contrary are pure rubbish. We're tipping this will be their new home.

I hover somewhere around this. The list is not brilliant. It's serviceable with a few glaring deficiencies. Barring injuries it can be competitive. Hell we should have won KB in spite of ourselves but managed to trot out our old nemesis.... " the inability to really score well and consistently " This then brings us around to our coaching and development. I'm with you Sir...get a broom....a big one and push it through the F.D. .. if a few nqrs off the list get caught up in bristles.... so be it.
