Anyone want Dawes in the team yet?

Can they please replay this game so I can Press Red

So the Dawes haters that quarter????

Some of you I am sure watch the game to see negatives... Three points in it at half time and reads like we are a mile away from being competitive...

Enjoy the fact the team is having a crack and hard - not words you would typically use to describe us of late

I don't post often...

Freo finished 4th last year...

They had a percentage of 130

It is 32 in Perth

We finished 17th

With a percentage of 68

We haven't won in WA since 2004 (?)

Let's not hang ourselves in March

On iphone so apologies for spelling / format

* Deserves priority pick with new management, coaches, etc and based on 10 wins in 3 years

* Forward with no Hogan or Clark was never expected and hurt - the ability to score

* basic skills errors are a big issue

* Tyson, Bail, Kent and Jetta have had great seasons

* "fair conclusion" that frawley is gone

* we have purge the list a fair bit. Got to change the list

* expects Jack Watts to stay at Melbourne but no certainties - anything is possible

* Jackson will be at Melb for a while - got the sense that will be announced at B & F but likes succession planing

* not close to an appointment for assistant but talking - couple in mind and will progress to more formal conversations now that season finishing

Score line is basically a goal different to the other game...

Channel 10 has the broadcast rights for the rugby, Russel is an exec at Channel 10... The detractors; you do the maths...

Jeez we like to whinge. I guess we want guys to have corporate experience on our board, but then..... we don't want them to work in corporate roles? As an FYI, corporate roles are typically not 9-5 Monday to Friday.

Oh we must surely win this weekend now...... All the players are going to commit to each other and the club... Watts is going to get 25 kicks, Pederson is not going to duck, it is all going to change...

I wonder if we will still make a profit each year going forward though... or sign that sponsor that many think Schwab couldn't...

Gawn is playing at Casey this week....

Back to normal negative commenting....

Just a random question... why do many think they are soo important?

My rough calculations: revenue is around $33.5mil a year. The average membership costs (Adult 11) $329.... Your membership represents 0.001% of the clubs total revenue and because you post, anonymously without your membership number. to a non-MFC controlled forum demanding and/or needing answers you deserve them?

As far as I am aware with the tanking issue (the same as 99.9% of the football community) is a few articles have been written in a newspaper and an investigation is ongoing. The club should respond to this on here or in public? Respond to Caroline Wilson whenever she writes an article about MFC?? I would much prefer the club concentrated on working through the issues with the AFL in the best way they see fit, getting new players functioning as a team for 2013, the board looking at our strategic direction, the marketing group looking at getting new members, etc.

Surely as members, supporters or whatever you call yourself, our energy would be much better served supporting the team; rather than looking for another opportunity to "have a crack" at current or past staff. In the fullness of time it will be public knowledge to some extent - once the investigation finishes!

And for those having a go at Cameron, Don or any others. How would you have any idea what so ever of what they are doing day in, day out? Name an organisation where you know what senior manager's do every day??

Not a bad first post under this name....

Oh, and a 4 x Member for 2013, debt demolition contributer, purchaser of every raffle ticket for a Volvo or offered by Dudley and finally Demon Blood supporter of MFC...
