Club’s furious about changes to the AFL pathway programme
old dee replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Spot on LG. It wont change until there is a change to the old boys club which I doubt is any time soon. -
Is that possible SL?
-
Gee thanks for reminding me of the Blazers AF.
-
They have had a few cringe worthy lines to promote the club of recent times. Just marketing bull dust. We have had our share over the years.
-
It would not matter the wording. The original info is usually to down play the injury time. You can always come up with a line to explain the change.
-
When it comes to injury reports do you ever believe what is said by clubs? First when they are being honest ( hardly ever ) they are at best a guess. It is not a perfect science. And then there is the normal when they are trying to keep the troops sprits up by giving the best possible results. Can always give an excuse later why it is taking longer.

I have been to a lot of AGM's and they are usually tightly controlled. Part of the Problem is MFC members are too polite ( me include ) and very seldom does anyone ask a difficult question. Re the new training facility, I was confident we would hear about it last year and nothing. I guess it is hard to report new developments when there are none.

I have been to the footy with my friends and suggested we go the Richmond ground after a game and the answer is always lets go to X pub it is nicer. Now I am not suggesting that is what everyone does but I think the days of it being a big money spinner are over. Also when games are scheduled has an effect, would go after a night game that finishes at 10.30 to have one beer before the drive home?
-
Ross I think you will find that most clubs are like this. That does not make it right just they way they operate. Saying that a Footy club is controlled by the members is in a lot of cases crap.
-
WE sure don't represent the MCC a large part of the membership are not MFC supporters. We are a football club that plays at the MCG and has some MCC members who support Melbourne. Beyond that IMO we are just a Football club that plays in the AFL.
-
I have a lot of friends who are members of Collingwood and Richmond they all tell me they have not been to the members Bar/ Eating in years. They claim the facilities barely break even. I don't think these things make a lot of money like they used to 20-30 years ago. On any account happy if you get them I just see them as a poor second to having the best training facilities for the players.
-
I will take good complex for player training. Stop. The rest is not important. Happy to bring my own chair to sit and watch them train and I don't care where it is.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MAJAK DAW
old dee replied to Lord Nev's topic in Melbourne Demons
In 2021 I would rather have him playing in the ruck than Bradtke. -
Not so sure it was stable rjay it used to leek like a sieve which is usually a good indicator of people having different views.
-
Yes it was the best option but the Government wanted to make it the home of cricket as well as us not having two cents to rub together to make it better.
-
In the end if you are not on the park the rest is unimportant.
-
Nothing changed dc but you well know the second language kicked in early on.

There Not????? -
I am talking about his salary. Why were North so keen to get him out? his 2020 season was reduced to little because of a knee injury. Seems he still has it.
