Hi all,

I don't know if many of you feel the same as i do....

Just a feeling that there is alot of negativity on this site and that this could be a thread where only real positive things are posted about the club, the team, the coaches etc..

I want to start by saying no matter what I love this club and I'm absolutely over the moon at the membership tally this year! I really want to see us crack that 40k!

In addition can't wait for today's game and I'm hoping that good things about today's game get posted here as acknowledgement...

Not sure if there is an appetite for this but thought why not provide an alternative!

Go Dees!!

Well after watching the hawks absolutely smash Richmond in the wet last night, maybe our effort last week wasn't so bad after all!

And we drew with Sydney who have gone on to beat Essendon (who are in super form) and West Coast away (who were unbeaten).

Look at Sydney, UNBEATEN a win in the west, they beat the bombers with a bit of good luck,

We had some bad luck or bad play whatever ! We should expect, it a young side and if the senior players dont all perform

then neither will our team.

We can beat the Lions,, Come on beat the bastards, then next week We can beat the New boys, and we will have a platform to stand up on and see the future

As long as we start today well ! All above the shoulder, be positive, run hard ! all day long !

Go dees Give em Hell !!

No offence, but in my mind this is just as mind-numbingly stupid a thread as any of the doom-saying threads after a bad loss...

How about an intelligent reasoned discussion about certain aspects of football and the side?

I'm not a fan of mindless doom & gloom with no direction, and I'm not a fan of blind positivity in the same vein.

That is my opinion.

And after we SMASH the lions, 60 will do, and the Saints beat those scumbag Bombers we will be 9th with the Gold Coast to come next week. GREAT THREAD!

And it's true I think the Hawks are are red hot chance this year to make the GF so our effort wasn't so bad. (Try telling that to my walls at 3 qtr time!)

CARN THE DEEBOYZZZ :lol:

Aussie's story...

His determination and progression despite devastating circumstances during the off season has only increased my respect for this guy, REALLY looking forward to him back in the team, and not just for his skills but also for the positive passion and joy he brings to the team dynamic.

Chips quick return, the guy is unstoppable!

Trengoves impressive step towards leadership...

Mainly noticed through newspaper articles etc but been super impressed by Trenners maturity and outlook on playing footy with his mates.

And finally, two words:

The Bull

(He's not a gun, he's a friggin canon!)

How about a deal e25? We'll just assume you think every thread is pointless and stupid and not worthy of you unless you state otherwise? Surely that would be better for everyone. I'm enjoying this thread, thinking positive before heading to the G, good vibe.

Go Dees!!

Hard to always bump up the positives when we have been living on Gilligan's Island for the past 47 years. Roller coaster episodes of optimism and dashed hopes.

Positives have been the club leadership of Jimmy and the Debt Demolition.

The fans are responding with their wallets and buying memberships.

But nothing positive to say about the FD and the actual business of playing football.

As I have said, IMO this is not a development year anymore and be be competitive as CS suggests, we have to show genuine forward progress this year or we will be left behind yet again.

And being competitive starts with the most basic qualities being in play today and that is application, desire and commitment from the playing group. Talking down our players abilities is the weakest excuse.

If we do this for 4 quarters today it will the most positive thing to come out of the club all year.

We are in transition with the team.

I don't think the majority of Melbourne supporters, especially the ones who've lasted the testing of our time.

We seem to be more articulate and analyzing than some others. this, to me, we make us less accep0ting of 'Spin', and trusting our own eyes.

I just hope we can be as loud when there is things to 'CHEER', rather than things to rant over.

If you want some well-reasoned positivity, look no further than Cameron Schwab's most recent Whiteboard Wednesday. THis guy is a true professional. His latest presentation gives good reason to be positive, and to get a little control on the wild emotional roller-coaster ride we often get ourselves on as supporters.

Good stuff!

Go Dees!

Thread is all about the positives buddy and that could include positive aspects of footy discussion rather than the usual ego driven spiral to the bottom!

You almost got there by posting on the thread.

Would be nice to hear your positives from today's game?

Positives... JORDAN GYSBERTS, I have been waiting to see him out there :)

It will be interesting to see Gysberts & Scully out there together, both solid performers.

Agreed totally I thought he ran all day and didn't hesitate to get in and under the packs. For someone his wiry size he gave his all in and under. Great to see

Very true.

2009 draft: Scully, Trengove, Gysberts, Tapscott. + Gawn and Fitzpatrick.

Those top 4 guys will be critical to our 2013-2016 premiership teams

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
