topic for game day
We are finished, robbo needs to be dropped and hate to say it but the ages of time have caught up with the skip and he should of retired last year, with no future captain material coming through we need to make a call and make Nathan Jones our next captain.
Having people like Miller and Yze in the Leadership Group was pathetic and just shows were this club is heading, how a bloke who has played for himself for 12 years can be classed a LEADER is laughable to say the least..................
Im happy with Bails and thinks he needs 5 years to weed out the Dead wood we have, shame he bought Mr Doughnuts back for today(Jamar) was a throw back to the danither era, the guy if was good enough to hold a regular spot would of been there by now, perfect time to part company was end of last season but what do we do, sign him and Miller to 2 year contracts, smart move that.
Watching Welsh last nite shows what a smart footballer can do when his mind his on the job, comapring him to robbo is a non-event, would of been better letting him go to the draft and getting welsh, is worth 2-3 goals even on a bad day.
I think the club need to get on the front foot and treat there members better, reading some of the stories about how you guys have been treated shows a total lack of disrespect and what they don't understand is if 8000 of us don't come back its game over!!!!!
Also what concerns me is there is no succesion plan to the current board, wheres our vice president??? I think people need to show there faces not when thinks are going well but also in times of need shows strong leadership and ability to lead from the front... just not happening.
If if we win today we must not wallpaper the cracks as was so in the previous era, trading Travis Johnstone was a disgrace the pick in the draft we got for him is injured, funny thing is we knew he was injury prone before we drafted him, the failure to draft a key position player like Rance at pick 14 was wrong in my thinking.
As for our current situation look at the 2001 draft, moylan rodgers and armstrong no where to be seen, poor recuriting in the best draft in history is the reason we have a hole in our team today, poor trading, simmonds jolly johstone to name a few, was a big beliver we should of traded White before these two and had major currency at the time, imagine a ruck of jolly and simmonds, simmonds resting full forward.
I think people need to be realistic and more passionate about this club, but to also not think everyone will be alright because lets face it if we were not called MELBOURNE we would of been ******* years ago, sitting in the members is akin to being at a morgue we just having a passionless and dull boring supporter base, this club needs members with life, not sit there and clap when we are 10 goals down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't say the future is bright for the dees right now, look forward to the next 6 mths with intrest, but don't be mistaken of we **** this up again there will be no coming back we will be merged with another club
People need to look out of there glass walls we are melbourne but it doesn't mean anyone owes us anything and you can only survive on your name for so long
Time is now...............
