And yes- they have to believe in themselves.If they could win first up wll give them, the club and supporters great monmentum forward-- and that is what we need.

If you read my post properly I stated every year is one of development/ continous improvement.Bailey has stated (openly at the AGM) that he would like to see the team improve by 15 points as per Roost it's explanation in his post.This then would turn our wins to 7 based on last years performance. However other teams may have improved more than us.

I don't know what last years was if it wasn't development.I feel every year is development-continuous improvement.But we should be striving for success- and that means 7 wins based on Bailey's statement of improvement of at least 15 points from last year.

We have not reached our goal set by Bailey

Fact- results are as follows: Won 4 games. RD5 beaten by Adelaide by 17 points RD7 beaten by West Coast in Perth by 8 points RD 8 " " bulldogs by 7 points RD 9 Hawks by 22 points RD 17 " " SWANS BY 18 POINTS- WHILST TANKING. RD 18 " " RICHMOND BY 4 POINTS " " Bailley says we need to reduce our loosing margins by at least 15 points therefore: So the above shows we could have easily WON 7 games .Therefore NOT TO WIN AT LEAST 7 this year would have to be deemed as a regression.Especially when we had several injuries last year as well. Jamar, Garland, Wonaemirri,Buckley etc.. could not be considered for virtually the whole year and when Jamar returned Meeson crashed. Therefore I say we need to win at least 7 games especially with our draw & development. Your thoughts?

Respect your point- but hungry for turnaround.Hiope it does not take 3 years with your explanation.

Dan- noticed you did not make comment on his singing/ guitar work--I was wondering what you thought of Robbo in this aspect? And by gee he would be very handy right now at Full Forward - don't you think.

Welcome and well said,actually inspirational..- As we all have a right to a say- you have had yours and explained your thoughts, very well indeed. However, in your opening paragraph you state---Actually I believe they can achieve more than the modest aspiration of a handful of wins. I strongly state that this would be insufficient.We could and should have won at least that many last year- excepting -Why & we all know the reasons.If we do not win 7 games- I feel we have gone backwards in some regards and I believe the club would want more than a handful(5) WINS.Have agreat time on the site.

Good points and well thought out- however Volvo was a low lying fruit opportunity..China is the go in October...

Back on the topic- I thought the insight was superb- showed how intricate every thing is as well as how every component works in tandem

Totally agree- SMART suggestion and totaly fittng.

What the hell are you talking about?????????????

So therefore who would you put there...Spencer?????.I would go for the resting ruckman with Green in the pocket.

I'd prefer JW to muscle up thus increase weight-and yes-I believe we members should get an update on the list changes...at least Cam is showing us what is going on off -field.Height and weight changes show us progress and development but you would not understand that...

I want to see PROGRESS on field ...don't you -you was crying for it last year..

Concur- I have bee arguing your sentiments for a long time now! and OR--it maybe the coaches are not capable to develop/teach?

I cannot say that is a fact.However, I do accept we had to do what we have done --and accept it is going to take time..But I detected from WJ-- in his last report,his thoughts are like mine, we have not come on as I would have thought & expected.. I think it is time players like-Bail,Bartram,Bell,Dunn, Jamar,Johnson,Jones, Martin, Maric,McNamara,Petterd,step up to the plate this year and show the way..these are the one's under the microscope along with the young one's developmentand in particular the coaching panel.

As far as I am concerned only A FEW(3) of the above names have truly showed that they are very worthy of their spot playing for the MFC...GRIMES,MORTON, JURRAH, the others still have to prove themselves.Scully, Watts, Blease, Strauss, Trengove(however, I do think he will be a star along with Bennell),Maric,Cheney,-and the ones you have not mentioned--Fitzpatrick,Gysberts,Gawn,all have a long way to go as far as I am concerned. And I am sure most posters would agree with me. We all thought Bartram would have made it... look now.Can you remember the name David Cordner--we thought he would turn out a star along with a lot of other Under 19 players in that premiership area. Not all young players make it in the BIG LEAGUE.THAT IS FACT. .So ...instead of me taking time to think, I think you should crawl, before you Roost it with your opinion and advise..(Practice what you preach- and think before you post..)

KC ,PLEASE remember however the M,FC has about 12 on the injury list not capable of playing at this time.

I understand your analogy accept accept that 3 years ago- we were in a larger mess than know- off field. I also accept your point re renovating- just completed task myself then the storms. However on field I think we have gone backwards. Re renovating at least one can see some progression. Our football club on field has recruited- well-don't know ? development-Don't know? Coaching-Don't know These are questions that will be answered sometime soon. But as Jimma stated recently-- the football department is accountable.However back to Wednesday's with Cam- I think it is an excellent addition.

We have had 3 years to progress- time to show something.

HT-- get your point re PATIENCE...but I would also like to see progresion as well.

Cam goes inside the club to outline what is happening with ourgreat club..this will be happening in parts-starting today.. http://bigpondvideo.com/afl/250223 What do you think-I think it is outstanding- It is a segment called-Whiteboard Wednesday insight into our operations at MFC.

Have a read ning nong -I was saying we haven't won a premiership since 1964.Read properly. Also I have a smile on my face normally until I notice some posters do not read what another poster wrongly reads something and then let's fly. Just shows me the ignorance of some.

Nobody is holding anyone to account- excepting our budget for membership is 31000.
