  1. With the way Clark's injury is going, Boyd might be a look in? (just a thought) .... I'm all for Mids in this draft, but if Boyd is that good and dominate?
  2. Depending on the dates, i would be prepared to come down from Brisbane for it. Love an excuse to go to Melbourne
  3. I have to admit it was quite refreshing watching his presser tho, no offence to Neeld but every presser was exactly the same. Im not getting my hopes up but i am very intrigued to see what game day changes and player position changes NC will make. Bring on Saturday I'm excited for footy again! (could be over again after the weekend tho haha)
  4. Just watched the presser, i wonder when PJ will don the Navy blue and red stripped tie?
  5. Mate, In all seriousness stop kicking a man while he is down, it is utterly pathetic. MN is gone and it was the people above him who employed him. A man has just lost his job and his livelihood. Yeah he gets paid out next year but his days as a senior coach are over. He may have been over his head but there’s a away to go about things are you have missed the mark by a country mile. MN is gone, be relieved but if you believe the problem is fixed you’re kidding yourself.
  6. Because Grimsey through no fault if his own is always injured.
  7. Reading Julian De Stoop's article today on the fox sports web site, he has asked the question that because over the years it has been a non event due to our sides performance he has suggest that maybe the AFL need to review who plays on the day. He writes the followng Melbourne v Collingwood "blockbuster" Due to Melbourne’s woes this game has become a dud in recent years save for one thrilling draw back in 2010. Since that day the Pies have cruised to 83, 42, 66 and 21-point wins. Crowds are dwindling with the Demons last win on the Queen’s Birthday coming in 2007 and maybe it's time the AFL looked at fixturing a different match on this day.

This is our big money maker, if we did lose this we would never be rewarded with an occasion like this again. There is a great possibility that if we do not become more competitive we will be axed.... It's a very scary thought on where that would leave us financially! Thoughts?
  8. What about our defence mate? You don't need skill to play defence, our defence against the kick in is pathetic, when are we going to accept the fact that the coach has to take the responsibility, in what world at 10+ goals week in well out are acceptable? This team since 2011 has gone backwards, we drew and lost by a point 3 years ago to this team!. Neeld will go and he deserves too. No malice here the facts are you cannot continue to get flogged and show no improvement. Our 2010-11 team would be our currant team by 60+ points!!!
  9. Seriously is M.Jamar colour blind? He continually taps straight down the throat if the opposition week in week out! God it's frustrating
  10. God I wish L.Dunn would never play again!!!!!..... Every time he touches the ball it's a turn over
  11. Really?...... in your heart of hearts thats what you believe? Gee whiz his track record isn't holding to much confidence for me anyways. I honestly don't care if Neeld stays and goes, all i want is a competitive football team to follow. I would love to walk into work without the boys saying "how about those mighty Dee's hey!. we have put up with this [censored] for too long. Mark get your act together or lets get someone in who can (thats all i really want, enough of this treading water for the past 8 years), try something different mix it up. You're hanging on by the skin of your teeth mate, make it count it must just save your job!. The media antics where disgraceful today, as a human being i really did feel sorry for Mark's daughters, wife and mother. I wish Todd Viney ran through the lot of them, like the good old days!
  12. O'Meara will be the next superstar of the AFL, has Judd and Ablett written all over him! GC suns are a serious team now
  13. Yeah sounds like an amazing idea, not only will that hurt the club further, it sends a great message to the players like Trenners that we're right behind them. Grow up!, this kind of attitude was the death of Fitzroy and will be the death of us. Enough with the negative energy! The players need us more then ever. Stuff Neeld, stuff the board get behind the players. Wouldn't it be nice if players on other teams saw the MFC as totally supporting the team through this!
  14. Have a look at young Ollie Wines legs, they're bloody tree trunks!!
  15. I agree mate, I see highly skilled, intelligent footballers that think their way through the passage of play and don't just throw it on the boot. Their mistakes don't turn into goals either! That's what hurts me the most!. I was talking to a mate from work today who is a die hard Blues fan, he reckons the Blues tanked at the right time (admits it) The Dee's have been punished by GCFC and GWS (the rant came from no where, my bad)
  16. I wouldn't be surprised if PJ stayed on as our CEO. He states that at the moment the greatest challenge in the AFL is the MFC. Then he said I love a challenge. Lets just hope he falls in love with the place, has all the power again. There would be a golden handshake from Andy if he did turn us around!!.
  17. We need to be careful here, at the end of the day theres more to playing professional sport then money, Look at Geelong all these blokes took a pay cut to stay together because they believed in the football club and loved playing with each other and for the Cats. If we just throw a ridiculous amount of money at him we may not be able to net that midfielder we so desperately need and more importantly play with PASSION. We need to make these fellas believe that we're the way forward. They literally need to sit these boys down and say, we'll bring in older guys to help you out, we can turn the corner with speed. Imagine we brought in Del santo and a fit Daisy Thomas and Prestia?!? (just dream guys, its fun for a little while)
  18. I could not possible agree with you anymore!. I honestly could not blame him for wanting out. Its been hard enough to support the rubbish we have produced since Chippa came let alone play in that rubbish. He needs to be persuaded that things are on the incline like the rest of us!!!. Go hard out on some quality mid fielders in the draft and trade table. If he leaves, god help us…..
  19. Agreed, didn't Bailey say that the new coach will be taking over a list with a golden ticket to the finals!.
  20. Its also not good to pick 2 coaches that fail to develop the list and also coach/teach a football team to win games a football. Damn if you do, damned if you don't. Thats the risk PJ will have to take, either we stay with the current coach and hope to dear god that he can turn it around, if he doesn't then we'll be picking a new coach next year. Or find a new coach and hope that he can turn it around. Its all a risk and we seem to be losing every time.
  21. Lets just hope we can keep them on the bloody park!, its pretty hard to inspire sitting in the grandstand. Our run of injuries has been shocking!
  22. I disagree if Malthouse or Roos were coaching us we would not be in this position. For one they would not of allowed Scully, Beamer and Rivers to leave without a suitable replacement. I still don't believe if Primus was coaching Port that they would be where Port are now. That was my point
  23. Do you actually believe it has nothing to do with the coach? If so I am gob smacked at that statement. Anyone that has played sport at a high level would strongly disagree with you. It's as clear as day to see a well coached/structured team vs a poorly coached/steuctured team. A qaulity coach will play players in their correct position and also structure plays around a teams strength. It is MN job to incorporate a playing style to meet the players on the list that can compete. If you keen playing players out of position they become completely ineffective and become frustrated!. At the moment our coach cannot develop or implement a game plan that these players can play.
  24. Head Coach – Roos Player development – Choco Midfield – Ling Backline – Wellman Forward – Leigh Brown & the Ox This is best case scenario, I believe, Brown/Schwartz could really be an assist to our forward line of Hogan/Dawes/Clark, Carey to come down and help out. Ling could really help our young midfield and I think they would really go hard for Lin as a premiership player and captain (Loves Viney as well) Roos – no brainer Choco – is well known for developing young talent Backmen – same players as when he was there pretty much excluding Rivers, god we miss Rivers
  25. Bossdog Shhhhhhhhh, You can't harping on about the bulldogs, Lions, GWS and the suns. Who cares about them, we're here because we care about the MFC!!!. GWS ans the Suns have had more AFL handouts then any other club in history. The point you're missing is that AFL football is Melbourne, with a team with Melbourne in the title is struggling it looks bad for the brand. They need a strong Melbourne name for games such as Melbourne vs Sydney, Adelaide etc. Stop worrying about the other teams, the MFC is rotting a very well run organisation, that does not run kindly with the organisation. Either they/we resolve the issue or we shut up shop or move interstate. But you take your membership money away as that's what important here. Not attracting new supporters, sponsors and more importantly good afl players wanting to represent the red in blue. In your words "god give me strength" the answer is right there in front of you. We're sick and dying we can either ask for help or perish. I'm all for helping us get back on track, look what it did for the swans! We could do with trucks loads of that. And don't give me the old cliche of "sell our soul for a flag" this is about a prosperous future for the MFC that is it!
