old dee

Spot on Steve was he supposed to stay while the club was run by idiots and end up with nil success. He has what no other Melbourne player of that era has a premiership medal.

I wondered if anyone would notice but of course that is fake news. Actually I was thinking the longer term like the last half century. Now don’t produce the stats that say it is only 80%. Two fake news items in the one day will be too much for me!!!! PS there is no chance Goodwin will get 8 years without a flag.

Yes we certainly are not world beaters.

I reckon the odds are better than that CF, more like 70/30 in their favour.

Strange how we all think Binman, I will hate Essendrug until the day I die but I don't hate Hawthorn. I admire them. Since the merge time they have pulled up their socks and won flags and have their club in a sound financial position. On the other hand we have the MFC who can barely beat time with a stick. I live for the day the MFC are hated like Hawthorn.

It's not the external review I was hoping for Df. But better than nothing, we wait with baited breath for the results.

They play finals 90% of the time that makes them a power house in my world LDC. We should be so poor.

Contrary to most on here I don’t mind the Blues. I grew up in Bendigo which was there zone. The teams I dislike the most are Adelaide and then Essendon. If you had been to a windy hill game when they played there you would hate them. Feral supporters that make the Pies look good. I see Robo in the Hun this morning suggesting it might be time for Hird to return. How can anyone suggest that the drug cheat coach should ever be back at a club. It beggars belief.

Thanks dd. I did get the email but had not been on here Since, believe it or not PM yesterday was a busy time. Have a great day.

With the reduction in staff numbers and people working less than 5 days a week I have cut them a little slack this year DJ. They will have had plenty of time to think about season 2021. Let's see how they perform next season.

Sorry to here HB. In those circumstances when there may be games you cannot go to I understand completely. I hope your situation improves soon.

I know 2 supporters who had memberships this year. If they cannot go to games this year they won't be buying a membership. Well one has said he will buy a 3 game membership or similar. I suspect there are thousands out there with this attitude.

Funny because we are both doing the same thing. But sadly all members or more importantly future members for 2021 do not think this way. A large number have the attitude of what's in it for me.

Amen to that.

Thus is not a problem I will be in the early adopter group LDC. If we cannot go in 2021 then I will just have to get used to tv games.

0Either you miss read my comments or I am not doing a good job of communicating. I am not fixated on this year at all it is done and gone. Do you think everyone is happy to sign up for a membership if they cannot go to a game in 2021? For a success starved club like the MFC getting value for money is an important item. Just look how many members wait every year to see how we go in early games before buying a membership? People on here are rusted on and will buy a membership come hell or high water. After another failed year a lot of members will need a reason to buy a membership in 2021 other than supporting the club. Giving them some compensation for 2 years of no games seems a modest thing in my view.

To be honest RB how many of us know how well he does his job? I would suggest none of us. The problem is lack of success finally lands at his door. His other problem is he was one of the main supporters of Goodwin getting the job in the first place and has backed him in all along the way include the infamous new contract before a ball was bounced in 2019. Now if it is already ordained that Goodwin is staying ( as it appears to be the case) then it would be a bit rough to fling him now. I am more concerned about who is conducting this review. The silence from the club is deafening.

Glad someone talks sense around here.

I have to wait five years? doubt I will make it!

This is one player that had to stay at the club, for Viney to leave It would have just been a bridge too far. Is he worth a five contract probably not. But and it is a big but he is a Viney, previous captain and a current vice captain. Who played his heart when we could not beat time with a stick. If he had walked I suggest a large number of members would have walked as well. There is IMO more to his signature than just his playing ability.

A few weeks ago I suggested that club members could be given access to games that are not on FTA. I doubt that will happen as there is too much money paid for media rights. But I can guarantee I will not be attend mass people events like AFL games. I like football but I like being alive one hell of a lot more.

What happens if we cannot go to games again in 2021? I am of the age that is in the death danger zone for the virus. I won't be going to a game next year until there is proven effective vaccine. I love going to real game at the ground, I go to seconds games I love AFL at the ground. Watching on a screen is a much less enjoyable experience for me. This year I had less interest than all my watching over the last 60 years. So what is the club going to give me next season to compensate? This year I took the loss thing on the chin and will probably do again next year but I reckon that the MFC will struggle to get membership above 25K if you still cannot go to games. They had better get creative or the income will drop considerably in 2021.

That seems lost on a lot LH. Simple facts, the FD have had a lot of player changes over the last few years this their list. We have played finals once in the last four years and once in the last 13. The results stop at the FD door.

Besides media reports I have seen nothing officially from the club that it is even happening.
