I was referring to the bit where you said 'there will be some tough times', and with our current list and a good run of injuries I don't see why their has to be tough times, if the players all work together then we can make the eight this year and the next few before the team that Bailey is building around takes us to a flag (thats the dream). And the sentence thing is more out of respect to other posters, this isn't a chat room.

i love all the moves made by "bails" absolutely love it............and the rest of u melbourne supporters who are in so called "mourning" in losing travis johnstone, i can promise u wont be saying this in 4 years time when we have a young good team who may challenge for a premiership.
Lets face it if u think this list we have now is going to win us a premiership u are delusional, and if u think we can change this list over night again u are delisional.........it takes time to change all certain things that this club does not have and needs to win premierships........we need a backline, we need pace, we need work ethic and most of all we deperatley need some "tough love" and some sort of culture. Bailey has put those steps in place and i can personally say at least i feel like we have a plan put in place and we are heading in some sort of direction for a change!!
U cant keep wacking band aids over a deep gash and thats exactley what we have been doing for the past 15 years, just been middle of the rung team who is around the mark but never quite good or consitant enough to be in the top echelon.
I want to win as much as the next melbourne supporter, but we need direction and culture and i think in the long term that is what will take us from being good to being great.
No wonder we havent won a premiership in so long, the majority of melbourne supporters would rather us be constantley mediocre than having a few hard years at the bottom of the ladder. There will be some tough times but we must stick it out and not band wagon as some of us have done in the past, for once i really can see light at the end of the tunnel........ im sick of being good i want us to be great!!!
I know where you are coming from in that you (like all MFC supporters) don't want to see the next 4 or 5 years to be wasted. Given that we have had a few delisted and a few retirees and now TJ going I think we have reached our limit for one year. To even consider getting rid of Bruce or Green as well would be detrimental. Dean Bailey said that we have blooded 10 new players in 2 years. If we recruit some KPP in the draft then our youth stocks are looking very good. Don't forget that Neita hasn't too much more to go as well. You may be correct in saying that Green and Bruce won't be in our next premiership side but that doesn't mean we should get rid of them now, we still need them.
