Whats that taste in my mouth!!

Well what a year, no 2 years. From the beginning of the year our expectations were so high, and then by round 10 we were already looking at draft picks. Now that has happened, and we have lived though possibly the worst 2 years I want to remember, we need to forget the past. We now need “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS!”

We will have little or no excuses, as I recall there was a post recently showing with this year’s draft picks, we will have 16 players who were picks in the top 21 over the past few years. Only the Saints, Blue’s and the dawks, can boast picks like these in recent times.

So Jimmy, Bail’s Swaby, Chris C and all the guys behind the scenes it now up to you to give us long suffering Demon supporters the “THE TASTE OF SUCCESS” we want, we need, no we now demand.

You have the supporters, our debt is diminishing, we will have the players, and we have the best president.

What is stopping us!!

Go D’s 2010 and beyond!

Couldn't agree more. Everything seems to be falling into place for a period of sustained sucess on and off field. Time to see our dreams become reality.

I still think there are a couple of holes to be filled.....but the shackles will be off and I'm sure the players will be keen to atone for a miserable 2 years after some development together.

However there is still some development to go. So, don't be too disappointed if we don't get the results you want early on in 2010.

I agree, but no more excuses, no more mediocrity, it won’t happen overnight (I wish) but it has to happen!

Get used to it. The side is still young, its inexperienced and still in development. Days of great promise will also come with days of soul searching.

I am prepared to be patient, but I feel the list is already (i.e. without the incoming draftees) showing signs of heading in the right direction. Hawthorn showed last year that sometimes sucess is closer than most people think. There is at least plenty of real reasons to hope for sucess, rather than the blind and mis-guided hope we have had to settle for in recent years. The taste is definetely there.

I want to taste it. I sick of honourable losses, good efforts, not reading newspapers for the negative press, the tanking issue, only really being interested in Casey and the progression of our kids, and so forth.

And hopefully and with a bit of luck, the TASTE OF SUCCESS out of the Premiership cup!

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
