No personal disrespect to Stockdale but a big NO. Melbourne has being the home of crusty old liberals for decades and it has got us nowhere. It's 2013 and about time this club looked like a club of the modern game not a Saturday afternoon sausage sizzle

Mcveigh is hardly independent

Robinson quite obviously hung out to dry. Hird will be protected at all cost but will forever have this hang over his head. No one will trust this football club until Hird, Corcoran and others have gone.

As a humble paid up supporter of my beloved football club I [censored] in the general direction of all those including Schwab who have brought this club to its knees. Now [censored] off and never show your sorry faces at this club again.

I am of a similar view, I am looking forward to Jackson strutting his stuff and getting the best people possible to this club. Jackson now has to get on with it and cease the blame game. Jackson has rightfully caned the previous administration however, he must now do what is required and I do not want to hear about our failed incompetent fools anymore. Just get on with it.

Pretty damn accurate sadly

I am fed up with the MFC players escaping scrutiny for absolute shocking efforts. It is always the coach who gets it in the neck. These players need to get a grip if they want to cut the mustard at this level. Always wrap them up in cotton wool and blame others! They have better facilities than ever before, they have a dozen coaches teaching them how to play football, they have everything at their disposal and yet they are so bad on they day they have to perform, one would think they have spent the previous week getting flogged in a boxing ring. How many coaches do some of these blokes need to learn? Fair dinkum, I despair at their lousy attitude and incompetence.

Ahhhh another regulator in society who thinks their views are superior ...go on close it down!

Reality bites where it hurts.

Does any of this really make a difference at this club? Once they arrive here we kill them off as potential elite players.

Anyone out there capable of coming to this club and changing this?

The only reason we will get players to the dees is for money and once they get here they know they don't need to earn it.

ASADA should investigate our recruiting department, they must have been on drugs when they chose our list.

Apart from the new kids on the block, all the rest are just very unaccountable to themselves, to the club and the supporter base. I find it very very hard to see how this list can climb out of the bottom 4 until we have turned over another 15 odd players. The players are to blame for this performance but they keep serving it up too often. Cannot defend this mob anymore.

Easily the worst MFC team to watch in my lifetime, I look forward to watching real AFL teams play not this imposter of a team. I really do not know how Peter Jackson is going to convince members to renew next year. I get much more enjoyment watching VFL

Yep! My patience has run dry with Trengove. Drop him, I don't give a stuff if he is Captain

Disgraceful garbage this mob serves up too often. Screw this club!

You are spot on! It is garbage. It really annoys me that this group of players get away with this.

What a bunch of B grade duds we have on our list.

So you are saying Essendon did not systematically dope their players (whether illegal or not)? Hird needs to understand that it IS his club under HIS watch who brought this on. No point whining now, it was you Hirdy who wanted to embark on this type of activity. Hird and others at Essendon need to show a bit of humility instead of arrogant carp.

There goes James Hird saying, "We are not drug cheats." Well Hirdy you may not intentionally be a drug cheat but you and your cohorts at Essendon systematically drove a program of on the edge drug supplements to your players. This type of behaviour breeds mistrust no matter what your intentions are. The sporting world and those who participate at the highest level must hold themselves to the highest level. Personally I am bloody fed up with sporting drug cheats around the world. I want to watch sport knowing that it is clean. Essendon embarked on a program that smells like rotten meat, do I trust this club? No way!

The question at the forefront of all this is still...WHY Why would they use this stuff? Not to lose weight, they are elite athletes . It's to perform at a higher level quicker. That's performance enhancing is it not? [censored] me...it's not rocket science.

The next Dick Cheney. Very scary this man!

Exactly...and Damian Barrett is a pathetic journo. Read stuff all into his rubbish.

Sam Newmans weekly tirade trying to prosecute Essendons case is very suspicious in itself. What/who is Newman trying to protect here? and why? The trouble with all this saga is ALL the lads in this industry including Demetriou know where the skeletons are. This could make or break the AFL.
