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: Brisbane

      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 REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
