Appreciate the honesty and credit for actually doing the video and addressing the members.

For me, this is just words and the actions are what really counts.

It's all about results and wins. No honourable losses, no improved performances, wins. Starting this week.

Bare minimum being having 22 fully committed players giving their all and fighting tooth and nail for their mates, club and supporters. Shouldn't take a debacle like last week to have this kick in to gear. That's an indictment on the players and the coaches and brings in to question whether all parties are on the same page and whether the improvement we all want is actually achievable.

Yep. You can tell he genuinely hates losing. I wish I could say the same for much of our "blue chip" playing group.

Whether we go down by 4 points or 40 points doesn't seem to matter - they still get paid, and they still get to be AFL footballers. And that seems to be enough for most of them. They're satisfied.

I don't believe any sportsman wants to lose.
I do believe some cruise and take short cuts though.

Or find it to hard when it gets difficult.

I'm more interested in his we respond. Everyone has bad days but what will the response be?

Is this thread genuine - in terms of being MM? Or is someone taking the piss as an imposter?

Classic response to the natives getting restless. Did Mick do it of his own accord or was he asked to do it? What next members of the board & Sticks apologising for their ineptitude ? Get on their case supporters and make them accountable for a decade of mediocrity. Fat cats running the Club and treating it like their toy. Remember you are just custodians and your ineptitude is wearing thin. Pratt and Matheson money is/was needed but are we now in a Catch 22 situation? Are we over-reliant and unable to force change if needed?

Its identical to the email we received. Either a TC'er or the club put it up.

Why would there be any pain and anger? While MM is fielding the ire of the members and the jeers of the football world, this is what Murph (and Gibbsy) were up to Saturday night:

That's because there is none, he's given up, why would you put in for a bunch of soft corks like this outfit.

Busted shoulder x 2, busted face x 1, puts his head over the ball gets poleaxed and hasn't had one team mate take a bullet for him the whole time he's been at the club.

Now he's got grampa powder balls as his coach for the next 3 years. Yeeehaaaaaa!!!
