I am a broken man. I had hope for 2013 as a year that we saw a push back with Mitch Clar, & Dawes as a formidable fwd line, Jack Viney on board, Jimmy T and the development of plenty of others. Well not to be I am a shattered MFC member. But I need to push for the glimmer of light ahead ... Steps 1. retain Peter Jackson as CEO for 2014 (as AFL required) 2. sign up Mark "Choco" Williams as senior coach. Remove all assistants on board right now, and keep Todd Viney as a development coach alone. 3. Delist around 8-9 players. Each spot on the list will be precious and we need to choose wisely. 4. 2013 trade and national draft. Essential, vital, crucial. Jesse Hogan - elevated #2 James Aish #3 (AFL Priority) Dominic Sheed #20 Nathan Freeman #38 Zak Jones #56 Nathan Drummond all modern day types. Tough and good pace. My only 3 players from other clubs to realistically pursue. - Levi Greenwood (Kangas) 24. tough, inside mid. good ballwinner. Seems out of favour at Kangas. PSD#2 for me . a must get for me. - Jordan Schroder (Cats) 21 tough. unable to break into Cats midfield but would settle at MFC and is Selwood like in attack on the footy. $$ and contract would attract. - Daniel Cross. Yes he's 30 but all class and would help our midfield compete. A new home would refresh and a promise of a fair go. 5. a good draw in 2014 for MCG homes games. The AFL needs to give us home games agst Collingwood (Queens Birthday), Carlton, Essendon and Richmond as 50,000 strong attendances to help our coffers. Games agst Giants, Dockers, Power etc at MCG would be avoided. And no homes games at Etihad. 6. Game style - intense. play on. Entertain. Scoring the focus. Hope with a structure.
