If we were as arrogant as Carlton...

I don't suspect that we'll make finals next year. Although I do expect the boys to really push for it and try to sneak into the top 8. The ability and talent is there, and based off this years performance where we could have or should have won 8 or so games (Richmond, North Melbourne, West Coast, Sydney and maybe even Bulldogs), we should be in a better position next season.

My question is, if we were as arrogant as Carlton (They Know We're Coming), what would our 2010 or 2011 slogan be???

    "Winning again in 2010". Or a cheeky one "trying again in 2010".

    Finals heaven in 2011.

    'The first club will be No. 1 again' or 'Older than anyone. Better than anyone.' or simply 'We are Melbourne.'

    My 2010 slogan would be "Move On Up", using the Curtis Mayfield song of the same name as the back drop for all advertising campaigns.

    It was sampled in Kanye Wests "Touch The Sky", so all the kiddies should be familiar with the hook.

    Joan Armatrading "To the Limit" as the alternate theme with the memorable line -

    to the limit here we go, from the bottom to the top

    We don't need a slogan. It's not as if we're recruiting for the Air Force or the Army.

    Wins on the board over the next three years with an exciting list will be all the 'slogan' we need and get those half-hearted supporters back on board and attending games.

    Stupid marketing can create false expectations for all the wrong reasons.

    Need to think about this, but a quickie off the top of my head;

    To Hell and back again.

    Or: "We're back again in 2010"

    With Carlton's Coming being a case of premature celebration is more likely they'll be singing "thats why they call it the blues" at seasons end.

    I think "they know we're coming" was one of the most successful membership slogans ever. How much media did it end up getting them? And most important of all they came in for their first finals appearance since 2001. Blues supporters would have loved every minute of it and I'm sure it inspired a bunch to jump on during the season that otherwise wouldn't have.

    "don't worry, there's no more decent picks up for grabs" would be my way of inspiring Dee's supporters next year.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
