Bitter but optimistic

I suggest you enjoy the footy in New York City.

FFS stick to the point. (1) I want to protest to the club over the shite I was subjected to yesterday.(2) I want the the club to answer the concerns that I intend raising with them. What is so difficult with that?

We've been moving on for years. Unfortunately without moving forward.

Don't get pickie Stuie. Now is a rare opportunity to pat each other on the bum, lock arms etc..

One preseason

You have got to be kidding. This is just more apologist rubbish. Let me guess. OOH hello sir. I'm just a pathetic paying member and I'm just wondering about the game against PA. I am a little unhappy but i guess we were a bit unlucky. Anyway don't bother replying sir. FFS

(1) If he can't cop a bit he should keep off social media. (2) Our blokes get paid approximately the same money as every other club (92% 0f the salary cap I think?) do you you really think they shouldn't cop it? Magna's rookie case is somewhat different but a bit of humility would be appropriate.

Don't argue here guys. The point of this thread is to ask your questions of the club ...and... demand answers.

Now you're dreaming WYL!!!

Give me a break Sue. Do you want me to write the response for them? Don’t be an apologist for the club and don’t try the reductio ad absurdum (we are sacking the coach) line with me. What I want is a genuinely personal response to the specific issues that I shall raise in my email that convinces me that McLardy understands my concerns. Further, the point of the thread is mass protest – be a part of it– don’t lie down.

So we shouldn't expect a "reasonable response". Jeezuz this is a major reason why we are a pizz weak club - we have settled for platitudes and/or bullshite for too long..

He is 100% correct ................................................... about the terminal illness.

Can't argue with any of that.

Last week i would have criticised your parenting for not beating the notion of supporting Essendon out of your daughter. Now I fully support your wisdom.

Like most here, I've paid up. I 'll add the request of a refund to my email.

I was also starting to wonder whether or not you had terminally immersed yourself in a vat of single malt

However, pathetic onfield efforts will surely destroy "the business side" and, the club itself.

I would be even more angry if I received that sort of reply. I would hope that none of us would accept that.

Well if I don't get a response, I will go there personally and want to know why.

I think that is an assumption that is made too often. Ram the message home!

While drafting an email to McLardy et al demanding an explanation for yesterday's humiliation and what he/they propose doing about it, I was also reading the“Perspective” thread where Biffen put forward some quite singular ideas of protest. It caused me to think that many others have also, or are, thinking of how to best voice their disapproval of yesterday's fiasco. It occurred to me that it was worthy of a thread to raise the issue of a general protest from us - the faithful. I am suggesting a concerted protest to MFC. So get your pens and typewriters out and bombard the MFC with our displeasure. If each ‘lander spread the word, surely we could rack up hundreds of emails. The club needs to hear first hand that we, whose hard earned pays quite a proportion of salaries etc, are really pizzed. If that doesn’t work maybe Biffen’s proposal for round 7 response is necessary.

I won't take my collar off and I've got a thong made from Alpaca hide.

Before yesterday I would have pencilled in 3 wins by round 7. Port, Gold C and GWS. On our showing yesterday we could be 0/7. We simply must improve and beat the newbies and be competitive in the others or it's all over red rover.

Nor me.
