Imagine if Jones had his skills??? Its all about attitude & work ethic! Give me 18 Jones on the park any day!

Take it easy.....Its Nab Cup..... Still Feb....no points! The guys actually praised the players & were rapt for the supporters to see light at the end of the tunnel from the train wreck we have witnessed over the last 5-6yrs! Dermie just plays the fool....but a very smart football brain

Quality!

Neeld was a mistake! Flogged each week! Lost the players! Player exodus! PJs open words ... MFC an impediment on the competition. Need any more evidence!

Very sad to see players like Mclean & Sylvia not there anymore........They should have been our leaders... The club started to rot! huge losses off the field, unstable board,no secured training base.no clear pathway for success & always in survival mode! As we know now culture disappeared & replaced with losing one & hoping early draft picks would be the way up! Players lost faith & treated poorly ( Macca etc) Schwab & Connolly drove a wedge into the list & destroyed the fabric of a club!

The gap continues to get bigger between the big clubs vs the smaller clubs! Collingwood posted a 5 mill profit with revenue of 75 mill! Afl are partially to blame with crappy stadium deals,unfair draws all driven by tv rights ratings that see big clubs play on prime time thus attracting better sponsors,membership etc Geelong make over 500K each game with 23k crowd...what the smaller clubs need is a similar set up....not continued afl rescue $$ The majority of MFC issues were from poor mgt......But as PJ said the gap is too big regardless

COACHING THE MFC!

Just hope they pick a player that has hunger,passion,work ethic,willing to do whatever it takes! We dont want another Morton or Gysberts!

Lets compare the kid after he has actually played & earned his stripes!

Spot on! We had the the wrong people make wrong decisions at the draft, but when your culture & development are crap I would say many other early picks in other clubs would have struggled at MFC. I think also that when drafting a kid you also need to look beyond talent like passion,hunger,work ethic.

Bottom line the club needs to draft on more than just good skills! Character,hunger & passion.work ethic We dont want another Gysberts! Rather have 18 Nathan Jones types running around!

Has the Roos & the MFC considered this guy? Tripple premiership Captain & coached by Matthews Experience Coach & his record was not that bad at the Lions 2-3 yrs under Roos will certainly help him further develop Still has the fire in the belly

Agree & maybe Schawby should do an article in The Age on how to destroy a culture & drive any decent players out of a footy club! As a football club we need now to control the current & future as a club of choice with culture & development! Whilst its great that Roos is the coach it appears that this may be short term & unclear of the coach in waiting scenario......Please take this as a negative rather as constructive as i thinks Roos will be great.

The world of free agency as many clubs are losing players & you have to question is this equalization as it appears the bigger clubs will just simply raid the smaller clubs who are not paying 100% of their cap. This just shows the train wreck of a club we have been for over the last 5yrs as the majority of early picks have left the club due to our poor culture,development,coaching. This is the legacy of Scwhab,Neeld,Connoly & Bailey Pick5 Mclean , Pick3 Sylvia, Moloney,Rivers,Pick 1Scully, pick 4 morton pick12Cook,pick11 Gysberts,pick13 Bate

Colles crying over Roos targeting his coaches whilst getting Buddy & Tippet.....Hypocrisy at its best!
