Satyriconhome

Wish you wouldn't go back and edit a few posts in, I nearly dropped my coffee, Keating and Kennett missed?.....are you actually living in a parallel universe. Kennett got things done by stomping all over people, and not tidying up the mess behind him, if he is so brilliant, why isn't he the longest serving Premier still, because eventually people saw through him Keating was, actually just see below The reason that most people are disillusioned these days is because they are now well informed enough to realise that all politicians are only interested in one thing........themselves All politicians are morally corrupt, Labor are the worst, it is full of ex unionists whose only job since leaving uni with an arts degree is working for a union or in a ministers office, they wouldn't know a real job if it came and bit them on the arse Liberals just want to make money, the Greens are your local psychotic Neighbourhood Watch volunteer, and the Independents just offer their backsides up to whoever will keep them in Parliament But back on topic, let's see what some of these so called influential supporters have got to say or offer, this forum is perfect for it, yet to see anything

WYL.....you think the Club gets a cut of the food and beverage sales........ oh dear...........straws for the grasping of......

You need to get out more

Of course you can judge a whole industry, you only have to look at the last 10 or so years, the lack of governance across the whole worldwide banking sector is deplorable, As for Grimshaw, my rule applies, I would listen to what he has to say or what he has achieved for my Club, and balance that against my view of the Banking Industry, it is my right to vote whichever way I want if I have the opportunity, hence my comment. It's called democracy, obviously you are more in favour of people with 'power' or 'influence' to make decisions for everybody, er not thank you

This should now be in the Kennett topic rather than this one, I would check your facts about which Boards he is on by the way. I'll put it less subtly, if Kennett or anybody from the Banking Sector were put up for the Board of MFC and I needed to vote, I wouldn't even need to think about it, my answer would be NO.....it's called trust

The Club already has the above, or hadn't you noticed, have a look at the Club Website, here's the link http://www.melbournefc.com.au/the-club/people/staff-members You are getting carried away with Jeff's rhetoric aren't you I for one will always thank Jeff for Crown, I mean without it , we wouldn't have increased petty crime around Southbank, gambling addiction, money laundering, flaunting of community standards if you put enough cash across the poker table etc etc

Dees2014 Thanks, I was going to answer the same thing Nice to see you have been in senior positions in Banking, that really fills me with confidence, GFC etc, I have worked in the Banking sector, never seen such a lack of good governance in my life, the rogue financial adviser from the CBA says hello........to actually denigrate somebody from another industry beggars belief. You will find Kennett is not well thought of at the Big End of Town, you reversed the class war for a change, hence the lack of board positions he has...............

"His Gallipoli comment was disgraceful and a pathetic, typical lapse in judgment"......one of the many reasons we do not WANT or NEED Kennett anywhere near the Club......... Come on then Dees2014, where is your reply to the last paragraph of my post, too factual for you?

Why admit the Board has failed, there is only a small group of naysayers on here and one Jeff Kennett (who I took great delight in voting out) who say that the Board has been a massive failure............Don McLardy has admitted mistakes have been made, horror, oh no make a mistake, we never do that (so say the minority).......and they are looking at reviewing everything So how long have you been putting up with this then? And the support has eroded over the years, strange the membership was growing for the last four, unfortunately this year because of the on field it has dipped by just under 3000, similar to St Kilda which has dipped by 8000 because of the on field performance, fair weather supporters exactly

Do you have a different set of eyes and ears than the rest of us, he didn't say it was a mess, he "commented' that maybe the FD was inexperienced, really, even I knew that, perhaps he thinks that could be a problem that can be fixed internally. and how do we know he is hiring a head of football, oh that's right it is in the media

Because as of yet, he hasn't, he is looking at it, again wait for facts, not rumour or media report.

Battle of wits with unarmed men, tedious, posts about me and not the topic, shows the intellgence of the poster wouldn't you think, another 'newish' poster, so either changed nickname or one of the many MFC basher guises....sad really

Hey P-Man, how are they hanging this morning, thought you didn't read my posts, get you every time really don't I, suggest you need to book in another session, your paranoia seems to be arcing up again, nice to see you posted on topic, bit beyond you really isn't it..........insufferable, damn was aiming for a bit more......by the way, I will listen to anybody who has something constructive to say about why the board should be changed, rather than 'they are crap, should just be sacked', but that seems beyond some................anyway, have to go, my life is over fulfilled at the moment, toodle pip...

Because I like nothing better than taking on keyboard heroes like yourself who do nothing but whinge and whine and do sod all about the so called perceived problems Half the naysayers on the anti Board topics are either ex Board members or their mates, thinking they are safe hiding behind nicknames, personal agendas, no never What alternatives do you ever offer up, usually nothing, there are a group of posters on here where you can actually hear the childish sniggering as they tap away furiously at their keyboard before posting their next well thought out diatribe Don said he would welcome anybody on the board who was passionate about the Dees, do you qualify for that bit, or you gonna cop out again.

Totally agree, except you don't post opinions, you whinge and whine like others, if you can do any better then let's see you do it then hero, it's a public forum so I am issuing a public challenge, if you think John Trotter's review is not going to achieve anything, then let's see you nominate, in fact any of the heroes posting in this topic that the Board is crap, give me your names I'll forward to Don you are interested.......you need to put a ticket together so we can read and decide if we are going to vote

Thanks Redleg, a bit more controlled than me today, had enough, had the misfortune to be sitting in front of a complete censored myself supposed Melbourne supporter yesterday, I don't know why he bothered going.....fired me up for today and some of the deep thinkers on here

But that's it, either put up or shut the [censored] up, that is the problem with some of the posters/supporters on here, all wind and [censored], ask them for a bit of action, er no not me etc etc etc They won't be fired by the way, it is a voluntary position

So what you are saying is that John Trotter will act in an unethical way, nice, I suppose you think the same of Peter Jackson then, he's employed by the Club, may only give the answer the board wants What I was saying was you were basing your rant on the a report in the Age, as I said let me know when you have put your name forward for a board position and what you will bring to the board, I'll have a read and see if I'll vote for you Sydney - Edlesten, Carlton - Elliott, Hawthorn er Don Scott, every club has been through what we are going through, let them sort it out, if we don't like it, then bring your passion to the AGM, like I have seen every year for the last six or seven.. Any questions?..........er no Don't question my passion and think that makes me complacent, I had a good chat to Don McLardy at Fed Sq yesterday about what is going to happen......I'll wait and see

Spencer - they are trying to get him to be more of a force up forward - kicked 3 at the weekend - Improved Couch - came from park football, teaching him to be more well rounded, only a rookie but improving all the time 41 touches, couple of goals Davis - great one on one defender but you also need to know how to attack, 28 disposals at the weekend, been shining light for consistency

...click......sssss....click.....ssss......click.....sssss

Listen to the whole speech on the website, where you also at the Fed Sq?, Don McLardy twice accepted responsibility for everything....or are you just going by what is in the Age again? There is also a review of the Board being undertaken to see if they have the mix right, Don also said for interested parties to put their name forward by letting him or John Trotter know.......so off you go

That is not an attack, that is a statement of fact, don't you read the topics or posts?.....

Yes right, a new Coach will fix everything.....of course, that's what we did 2 years ago and 3 years before that......... nice to see you are debating now, although it took a bit of editing... Since Neeld arrived he has changed everything, so therefore to implement everything again to a very high standard is going to take time, this is what Neeld has been saying for the last 18 months, yes perhaps he shouldn't have said 'hardest team to play against' straight off, but that is what he is driving for. He is not happy with some of the senior players, trawl through the topics in the last 2 years on this board, and you will find most posters aren't/weren't either, but Neeld has resisted the temptation to have a team where 17 or 18 are under 50 games, in the hope that we could snag a few wins, that is obviously not working, methinks we may see that now

Choke, a lot of posters are optimistic, I can see why you thought you would be flamed, don't worry it is only Larry, Mo and Curly playing up on this topic

Quite simple Young Dee, attack me and I will attack you back, I don't care how positive you are, either post on the topic or leave the comments about other posters out, over it, this will be my modus operandi from now on, if you want to comment properly on what I post I will debate, if not you will get what you got
