Ditto mate-seeing is believing .

Stu-i'm a Watts fan but he was getting well beaten by crappy short kids from a crappy team . There is a big problem there. I cant deny it anymore . he is too good to be so bad .

Whats the point of being there if you sit and whinge . Enthusiasm is infectious ,as is the losing vibe.

Most impressive today for me were the two forgotten men of our list proving they have the required skills and ability/desire . Max Gawn is an extrovert in a team full of wallflowers.he is the messiah most likely . Evans has class,skill and pace. Garland lifted himself out of the depression that besets him every time he pulls on a jumper. Sylvia was actually aggressive ,powerful and effective . Davey still has it ,Trengove showed some real leadership. Frawley and Chip are in a deep whole . Byrnes is a waste of space and a terrible recruit . Pedo gets a pass. Terlich showed guts ,M Jones skill . tapscott will get there.

Our supporters never support when we are down . We are extremely timid and ,like the players ,need to come out of our shells. I cant get up and froth ,gesticulate and berate everyone all by myself . The men in white coats will get me eventually .

Maybe we should get the manager of "The Conchords". He's available!

So we have been run by King Sexyfingers?

So you rate the Xavier boy over the Scotch boy and the Brighton boy? Hannebery just got lucky the Swans got him. Jack Watts will kick his lily white god-fearing ass over their careers. You view life through the prism of your high school and the types that attend it who are nearly always blokey, socially retarded, caflicks from Kew. Present company included. The world outside your network of micks is big and bold and creative. There are women in it too!

It's more a question of finding someone willing to take us on for the long haul ,getting them signed to a five year contract ,then sacking them immediately to avoid complacency . It's a strange tactic I'll admit but at least people will begin to take us seriously. Does anyone ever think it's ironic that the club was started by Tom Wills ,a relative of Wills from Burke and Wills ,who died of starvation under a fruit tree surrounded by kangaroos ? We've been losing our way for over 150 years.

Clearly you are a communist . Advertising and PR guys love a re-brand. It gives meaning to their lives. Your "leave it alone"attitude creates unemployment amongst some of societies most creatively redundant social climbers. Shame on You.

My plan for Bentleigh would firstly involve a radical landscaping of the surrounding suburb using nukes to improve the vista. We could then build a mega carpark and have a massive drive thru in which pensioners are swiped through according to a microchip placed in their foreheads. Every pension day we could scan them through the gate and link the computers to automatically debit their funds into their preferred pokie machine (thereby saving coins). As Australia can expect the median age of the population to rise ,this may be the answer to our social club problems. I've always found pokies pubs to be such warm and convivial places for people to commune and the conversation is top notch! We could franchise this idea and place it in different suburbs as we grow ,benefitting and strengthening the community as well as providing the cash to rort the salary cap in order to buy a flag .

I think we should only sack Neeld if we win tomorrow in keeping with the ''processes and instructions" theme . Explain to him that results are not even the issue we are trying to address and that it is more to do with his choice of footwear and the way he does that stupid twitchy thing. Also,in the event that we lose ,we should offer him a five year contract ,despite the fact that no one is there to draw it up as the CEO office only has "Goldy" the Koi and a paper weight in it . This will show him our long term commitment as well as proving to him that we are as schizophrenic as a bag of snakes on acid. Does anyone think this is a good idea and if so should I write these and other ideas up as a manifesto for our future .

You may be on to something here DC. I have just done some research into this noble flower and ,although it is not from the pansy family ,a Fuchsia coloured kerchief worn in the back hip pocket signals to others that the wearer is a big fan of being spanked. Another point worthy of note is that the flower itself is named after German botanist Leonhart Fuchs . We could shorten the flower back to its briefer ,snappier nomencalture and name ourselves simply , "The Melbourne Fuchs"

We get more exposure than Brynne Edelstein's chest. Any more and we'll catch freakin' pneumonia. They say any publicity is good. Next sponsor believed to be from the movie "SUPERBAD!"

The Chechan bombers in Boston shared a facebook page with Jihad Jack Watts , Tom Gillies and Frawls. Beard growing comp . FBI ,CIA now investigating Melbourne Backline in relation to terrorism .

No one is forcing anyone to stay at gunpoint. Sick of this train of thought. Soft Eggs, as Barn Dee calls it. Onyer bikes. Love me, love my dog of a club. Nearly came to blows with a Hawks footy nut that had suggestions for me/AFL about what to do with us. We have 70 Afghans coming to see their first game of footy tomorrow, courtesy of MFC. If you see them at the G say hello , shake hands. They might be able to tell you about what a real problem is. So you can just enjoy the footy.

You must be the guy that sits behind me and starts moaning before the bounce . Please OD,put on the happy face for Sunday.

I remember the few games he played before his back injury. Ball magnet ,pace to burn,nice skills. Like Max ,Blease ,Strauss-forgotten about due to LTI. Is he named?

Maybe Andy ,you should get out more.

Jones to add another BOG to his collection. He has a" head" start.

"Don't it always seem to go ,that you don't know what you've got till it's gone" When I think of us in a hole like we are-i think of this Joni Mitchell line. I'm more likely to leave an organisation that is healthy and doesn't need me to survive than the mighty MFC under a dark cloud . That's how i roll.

"Feeders" are considered hot now. Keep going.

Must be Schwab.He's worse than my late grandmother racking up 12 demerit points in my car before she passed away

I think it might take years of loyalty by one coach,one administration ,one core group of players , going by the Geelong model. Are sackings the solution?

Welcome back! You used your postcode post reacting to a non issue. Everyone's missed you. We were worried sick.
