That is a brilliant post Bezelbub. The times are indeed a-changing at Melbourne. A shift in the collective consciousness of all who love the club is occurring.

I could have sworn that WYL posted this exact same sentence earlier today....

    Yeah...im not sure you can simply put all of the various rages into one basket etc.. They are different and ofr differing reasons. RR right in that rage is rage..I'll concede WYL in that theres a different flavour and resonance about this event.

    I think for far too many years we have despite any empty rhetoric just stood there whilst our fortunes were delivered ( or not ) . I can only suppose its that there is now such a detrmination by the Board down to succeed that this now generates not only expectations but a measurable barometer to accompany it.

    We're failing.. Probably not over all but presently the tram's slipped off the rails and were going in circles. ( something of an oxymoron I realise...lol ) , anyway: there is a definite palpable groundswell of discontent that goes beyond the survival mode. For far too long weve been happy ( in reality ) to be just in teh competition and if possible competitive but in the great Melbourne way of the last 40 years , well thats all there is.

    Not so any more. Premiership success has been put on the table. A timetable of sorts given it. Anything that sets to derail this needs to be attended to and directly.

    The Club used to exist in haughty realms often aloof from the general rank and file. Ever since the Summit its been vastly different. The Club has invited and welcomed its members into its consciousness and now when the pain reaches a crescendo it too feels it directly from us at the same time as it must itself.Theres a remarkably differing symbiosis now than once existed.

    Im not going to suggest that our efforts (i.e supporters ) by themselves created teh reaction by the club but I certainly feel it nudged it.

    Thanks BB you pretty much nailed what i had been trying to say for the last week. Nice words.

    Bob Dylan said it in 1963, we are now starting to move.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
