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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
