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.

Got Grimes?

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!"


The seeds are sown, share in the harvest

 

A saying from the computer game Starcraft - "They'll never even know what hit em" (in a southern US accent)

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
