Yes there was a culture problem at the club, but its in the process of being fixed, with Neelds hard line attitude. I was told by a source close to the club that the problems came to a head when the club knew Scully wouldnt commit to the club, and asked Bailey not to play him. Bailey refused and this caused all sorts of divisions in the club with senior players led by Green forced to take sides. The week this happened we played Geelong and the rest is history

Im a 30 year consecutive member, and for the first time i have lost the urge to go to the football. I have no interest in going next week for fear of being completely depressed again

Im starting to believe in it......no joke.

1. Sacking Junior. ( Only real leader we have had since Neita) 2. Not recruiting Nic Nat. ( We are in desperate need of a superstar) 3. Picking Scully instead of Martin.( probably couldnt have foreseen this one) 4. Not convincing G.Lyon to coach us. ( The only one that couldve made something of us) I reckon we would be a completely different team had these 4 factors worked out differently. Do you think we would be getting smashed in the clearances if we had Nic Nat in the Ruck, Junior still as Captain , alongside Dustin Martin ? and Gazza inspiring them every week? Funny how only a handful of decisions, made by the club or key people like Scully and Lyon, can dramatically change the future of a club.

Morton is better than half the blokes we have in there at the moment. At least he has a bit of run and good disposal.

But after all the running we did in the preseason???

R.I.P. M.F.C. I'D LIKE TO APOLIGISE TO MY KIDS FOR DRAGGING THEM INTO THIS AWFUL MESS OF A CLUB.

After all that preseason running we did???

Out Bennell,Mckenzie.Mcdonald. Bartram,Sellar,Green,Bail, Dunn. In Couch, Nicholson,Blease,Moloney,Davis,Tynan,Tapscott,Morton. also..Sack Royal , bring in Lovett or Viney.

Because our coach doesnt have a clue. Bate was one of our best preseason performers along with Nicholson and Couch, yet none are starting...why??

cant beleive we put Mckenzie in the middle two weeks in a row after zero pre season form. Bate has to start, and now Couch has to play.

I think there is something else going on at the club.....with this Davey/Mifsud thing where theres smoke theres fire...Players do not look committed at all. They look very distracted. We just have Zero leadership....the last leader we had we got rid off too quick, McDonald of course.

Bennell did nothing......career over i reckon, same as Green. Jamar still very ordinary... we really are a disgrace.....Port melbourne would beat us.

Frawley and Garland have ordinary so far this year, lots of turnovers and mistakes

Mitch Clarke aint no star player. I reckon Ricky or Howe would be better at full forward. Watts looks so slow , got good skills but really lacks mongrel,he looks like a basketball player. Umps are terrible.

What i cant understand is the lack of defensive efforts Fair enough we cant really grasp the attacking along the boundary stuff as yet as its completely different to what weve done before. But Neeld said " we would be hard to play against", and there would be "defence all over the ground". But the amount of times Brissie players were on their own was a joke. Our players were left in their wake far too often....zero pressure .

But its not our gameplan to get it in the corridor

We are just not intimidating enough. I noticed Brissie were getting into us at every opportunity. Watching the Freo Geelong game...Freo did the same to Geelong, they were pushing prodding niggling, absoloutely in the face all nite. We should have been pumped like men of steel after Jimmys passing, but the only one to show any Grunt was Magner. Black had so much space in the middle, and we just werent making him earn it.

This what i find perplexing...our game plan seems way too predictable. Every kick forwrad went to the same pocket all day If i was playing for Brisbane i would of thought, how easy is this to defend.

Its time to change up the centre clearances group. In the future i see it as this....Gawn. Gysberts Magner Viney Once this quartet starts playing regularly we will see some inprovement. Gysberts needs to be in there from now, and maybe Grimes too. Bartram and Macdonald arent good enough in my opinion. Id put Jones in Bartrams role and bring in Morton or Bennell fpr Macdonald Howe needs to be the full forward leading out of the square...he has the smarts . Clarke at CHF

. Compo picks and draft picks mean nothing now...our club will be dead unless we improve in a hurry. We dont have a hope in hell of getting to 40,000 members after that performance by the way.

Neeld said we would be hard to play against........Hah, hah hah hah hah hah

In Petterd, Tapscott,Gysberts,Sellar,Morton,Bennell Out Mckenzie,Davey,Green,Tynan, Bartram , Mcdonald. The 11 year old is my son by the way....wishes he went with his mum and barracked for Hawthorn, i said he could get a Hawks membership next year if he wanted.

Watts was easily in the best

I feel so sorry for my son, who i encoraged to be a Melb. supporter. He is 11 years old and cops crap at school all the time about what losers we are....its unforgiving in he schoolyard. After today he said he doesnt want to go to the footy anymore...heartbreaking..... Damn this club is depressing .
