Our two best games this year have come after out-side motivation. Unless we can play well without needing a retirement, big occassion or event to get us up, I'm going to totally agree with Malthouse. Even though he is an arrogant little man.

I was surrounded by Pies fans and they pretty much all cheered for Woey. So that might explain the loud roar.

Here here! Kudos to the 150 heroes selection community!

I just don't see how, after 6 consistantly inconsistent seasons, Danners was kept on after that shocking 2003 season. Even after the end to 2004. Had he been sacked/resigned when he should have, we wouldn't be in this position today. I 100% blame the list problems on Daniher.

He's a dictator. He doesn't need a CV. He just kills whoever is in his way.

Sydney Swans.

Finally! An injury!

AdrianOB - I'm not using him as a scapegoat. If anyone is critical of the way the MFC is run and how it's been run, it's me. But he isn't helping the issue. It's not like he's coming and saying, "The MFC is in trouble." He's coming out and saying, "You mean nothing." How is that supposed to help us? Saying we're in trouble is OK, considering it's the truth and a well known fact, but being critical of our marketing position is very, very useless and insulting. If he really wanted us to survive, he wouldn't have said that. How do you think that would sit with sponsors, being told by the head honcho at the AFL that the club they sponsor is worthless and has no image? How do you think that comment is going to sit with potential future sponsors? Now, he's coming out and saying that the one game where our image and brand stand out the most is in jeopardy, although the crowd figures have been fantastic the last few years. He is very cunningly making an affect on the image of the MFC that is already tarnished enough. Twice in the past month he has come out and put our financial and marketing positions on the front-line. How anyone could argue that the AFL don't want 10 teams in Melbourne is beyond me. They're still hanging for a club to come forward and move to West Sydney, and I think they're confident someone will.

Didn't you watch The Footy Show!? He wants 10! Dahhhh!

It's very, very clear what Demtriou's stance is on the MFC and 10 teams in Melbourne. He seems to be purposely driving the MFC to its death. He isn't helping by branding the club "wothless" and now saying that our most profitable game of the year is in jeopardy. This has nothing to with giving other clubs who are in need of an event a go, but rather slowly taking things away from us and leaving us with nothing.

Daniher's presence here was overrated. He drafted poorly, wasn't strict enough and was too friendly with players. People say he did a lot for the club off-field. How so? If not for the AFL's injections, we'd have been in the red still, even after he became the reverend. He was coach of the MFC for 3 seasons too many. He should have been sacked after 2003.

The Shinboner Spirit is overrated? I'd say that the North Melbourne FC has overachieved dramatically in the past 3 years (including this season). They finished 4th last season. At least they have a culture. We have nothing. Ultimately, that "Shinoner Spirit" is what saved them from the GC.

Grgic > ALL

Consider that Sydney has a lot of Melbourne support because of South Melbourne, more then Brisbane has for Fitzroy.

Like every other Melbourne player, he has the brain but not the skill.

Last game for the MFC I rekon. It's not as out-there as you think it is.

And people want to know why are finances are so bad. It's poor marketing and decisions like this. That jumper is insipid.

Good football brain ruined by a lack of bravery and poor skill.

I'll be there...unfortuantly.

I wouldn't say Bruce is brainless. I actually think he has a good football brain, but his disposal is mediocre and doesn't go in hard enough.

The Backyard Bandits

He fits in well with most people in the public eye in Melbourne that have power; they make changes that are out of touch with society and make absolutely no sense, ala. Mr. Brumby ala. 2am lockout laws.

No. Chris Johnson. Just... No. He's a poor mans Luke Williams imo.

I have a feeling we're going to get thumped this week...

Wow. That puts things into perspective. Talk about a youth policy.
