I've noticed that as well. It got me excited when I first saw it. Then I realized that it was unnecessary hope. They're probably too embarrassed to put the real number on the screen, especially when the crowd is heavily in favour of a team that lost 14 games in a row.

I thought this was a thread about Melbournefc moving to qld. lol

OK. I'll rephrase what I said. He has the POTENTIAL to be a franchise player. He has the skill and appearance, and yes, appearance has an influence. He probably won't be, but he could be, more so then anyone else imo. I mean, who else could be? (god help anyone who says Bruce)

His long kicks forward, although they entertain the fans, don't fit in with AFL standars today, and thats why geelong were willing to part ways with him. Gone at years end.

Agree with everything u said. Green and Robbo impressed me today. McLean was as good as you can be against God. Sylvia is our franchise player.

Fixed hahaha

Jamar

True

That's not true or false. That's yes or no lol But yes, we would have been.

1. The Melbournefc 2008 team is performing worse in the first 5 rounds then any other team in the last 10 years. 2. Chris Judd would have saved this club, on and off the field. 3. Judd would be a Demon had Kevin Sheedy been coach 4. Paul Gardner is an idiot 5. Dean Bailey is implementing a gameplan suited to quick, fit and confident footballers, ala. Port Power 2004. We do not have quick, fit and confident footballers. 6. If Melbourne's performance doesn't improve after 6 rounds, as said it would, Dean Bailey will get the sack/resign 7. MelbourneFC will be a completely different club/brand/image in 3 years time. 8. 150 years of history means nothing when you have 40+ years of mediocrity 9. The AFL was sitting back in its big, expensive leather chair last week at the site of 23k at a match played by two Melbourne clubs, and thinking "Goodluck, guys! You're on your own from here on in." 10. North and Melbourne will eventually join forces aka. merge. 11. Most Melbourne members would support such a move 12. Melbourne's performance this year, on and off the field, is exactly what the AFL wants. They don't want 10 teams in Melbourne. The more the bigger clubs distance themselves from the smaller ones, the more oppurtunity there is for relocation and folding. 13. Cameron Bruce is the most overrated player in the AFL 14. David Neitz is finished 15. Adam Yze is finished 16. The Melbourne FC is finished.

I mean, really, how hard is it to draft a superstar? Not even. Draft a player capable of being one.

I didn't know you needed to smoke to realise how bad Melbourne are compared to Carlton. The better team gets better odds. You're kidding yourself if you can't realise that.

Any interstate model (except Fremantle's) would be good enough for Melbourne.

It's getting to a point now where I honestly can't see us surviving. They'll always be a Melbourne, but I can seriously see a completely new brand, team and direction. Much like how the Victoria Titans turned into the Victoria Giants in the NBL a few years ago, although that failed miserably.

I lol'd at the name of this thread.

28k-35k. Anymore and you're all dreamin'

Neither am I, unfortunately .

Just a quick glance at the Blues forum on Big Footy and you'll see that 99% of the posters there are 99% sure of a win on Sunday, with some saying a win of 40+ points is probable. Are we really that much of a pushover? Also, do these supporters realize they've only won once in almost 12 months?

Ok here are my constructive ideas. 1) Accept our position. Accept we are no longer elite (start again McNamee) and act accordingly. If we didn't realise that 20 years ago, then that means we've been going in the wrong direction for 20 years. 2) Pull out of the new stadium deal. I don't want to be third in line for facilities after the Storm and Victory and I don't want to train on the same oval as Collingwood, I have no doubt they will have priority as to times. Part of the stadium deal was to have a relationship with the Storm and Victory and have a base in the city of Melbourne. 3) Strike an agreement and more importantly embrace Casey Fields. This requires: - Affiliating with the Casey scorpions - Training there all year round - Moving operational facilities there as well - Working with the AFL and City of Casey to build a couple stands so we can host home games againt interstate sides there - Let the PR machine begin "the return of suburban football" I like this idea, but strongly doubt the AFL would approve of games there. The advantages of this plan as I see it are: - A crowd of 10,000-15,000 won't be a disaster because there will be no break even point. With a partnership with the council surely all reciepts will go to the club. - MCC members who give a [censored] about the club will have an insentive to buy a membership because they actually need entry That won't matter. They still won't buy a membership. Cranbourne may be a long way out but at least it is part of Melbourne. To me it is a more viable option then Gold Coast or Tasmania which no body has mentioned yet (but is a possibility). I think there is a bigger chance of us moving to the GC then playing in Casey

Both, but now the latter considering I just watched/read the conference lol

I'll believe it when I see it.

The entire 1964 premiership side.

QFT. They're just as much a rabble as we are. But this isn't "bad press". It's truthful. If we were anyone but "Melbourne", we'd be gone. Even that might not save us in the long run. Personally, I can't see us being around much longer. It's been over 10 years since the merge talks we're in the same situation still. They'll always be a "Melbourne", but we'll merge/become a different team soon. I'd be up for a North/Melb merger. It's clear that the two teams can't generate enough financially to survive comfortably down here. Both have to realise they'll never be powerhouses. Be logical and reasonable and create your own powerhouse. I'm sick of always been in debt, always being in trouble. It's never going to change.

Heard it this morning about 8am on 3AW. Good, hard ad.

God help the MFC and all of its players. God help them. And god damn you Robbo. Idiot.
