Guys it is the cattle. JC could not get a better result from this lot. Almost everything has been changed over the last couple of years except the playing group. WE do not have the players the score board does not lie.

Having spent the last 45 minutes reading through some of the treads on Demonland I am surprised. I am surprised that so many on here are surprised at last nights result. We played almost exactly as I expected with the result almost the same as I predicted. All last Summer I kept saying but we have the same basic cattle as the lot that produced 186. The simple matter is we have a poor list. low quality with low skills There have been quite a few on here that have been saying it for some time e.g. wyl who gets canned every time he says it. I hope a lot on here now get it. WE have a poor list that is not being helped by a lot of injuries to some of the better players. IMO 2012 is the result of the Youth only policy we endured under DB. Our recruiting has been less than great and we have a number of young players of dubious quality. We really are unfortunately at Ground Zero. There is a lot of good recruiting needed to get our list into a position were we can compete with the last ten teams let alone the top half dozen. The next 2 - 3 years are going to be very tough to endure. I hope the membership can go the distance because this club could easily slip into oblivion if it does falter.

Redlegger WE need the MONEY and will for some time That is the total story. So we need to get used to the idea and problems. I struggle with the idea it could make us worse. Can we slip much further than 2 wins?

RB he could be JC in person. I will believe when we win 8 games next year and no 10+ goal losses. And not one minute earlier

Yes Redleg I thought the same thing. St Judd again

You have my vote for the best one for Friday 20th July BB. Very Good

Like your confidence WJ Just wish I could share it Port by 4 goals

Not sure that Big Jake has it however it is fair to say he is 7 - 8 games into a season that did not start till six weeks after everyone else. I am cutting him a little slack, not easy to fire up after being out a full year with a knee reconstruction. Give them hell up north son.

stuie that day he should not have played he must have known how bad he was. I cannot be sure because I try Valiantly to forget 186 But I do not think he had 1 possesion that day. That makes him the worst player that day

One small problem Hatchman. Moloney is a free agent we get nothing if he leaves.

Yes we have not got past 5th August yet!

At least one positive dl4e Jetta is a better kick than McKenzie.

Great drug with a bad reputation DC Handy one to blame when you screw up. A bit like blaming the car when some idiot does some stupid and causes pain and death. Send some free samples to Scotty. I hear there are plenty floating around at the Tigers.

Redleg another is out injured. This time McKenzie is there ever a week we do not have an injury? We must be the worst going around.

You have my vote Nasher But I guess I should not be surprised why would MFC supporters be any different to the rest of Australia

Does not say much wyl as everything is better than the season so far. I wonder which season that drafting for the following year will be less interesting than the current playing year?

We are going to disagree on this one BB. Winning is now the only thing for me I have sucked the sour taste of defeat for too long Have a good night mate!

I suspect that 99% of what has been written on this thread is also billy

I would not care BB I am tired of choir boys My main requirement is "are they good footballers"? The rest is far less important to me. I am so sick of losing. Judd can come to the MFC next week for mine I do not care what the football world thinks of the MFC. I live for the day they all hate us because we win at all costs and take no prisoners.

Not sure it is repairable RR Too many years have past. I think the best I can hope for is a bit single Malt to sooth the pain. Of course winning 10 games next year would be a hell of a tonic.

Dr I do not agree if LJ is fit then he plays at Casey and the MFC. This club needs wins between now and the end of 2012. Both the players and members need to believe there is a future in 2013. PS Not trying to be smart but LJ has played 1 and a bit quarters against Sydney

Have we acquired something of real worth WJ?

So we can all cry together GV? Seriously I live on the other side of town. I have never been there. Interested as well in what people think of the club have we acquired anything of real worth?

Gee RR what the hell am I going to do for the next 3 winters ?
