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.

Now meet the real TANK!

'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.

I have that Classic CD. Love it.

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.

MFC. New World Order: ..the Demon rises !!

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.

"From the depths of hell, we will rise again!"

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
