This is THE time for our "Line In The Sand" moment.

I seriously hope the powers that be at our club make the culmination of events of the last few weeks the turning point at the club.

From today we should -

* Stand on a united front

* Appoint a tough, experienced coach or assistant coach. Malthouse, Lyon or Burns etc

* Play hard aggressive, take no prisoners football

* Use our compensation picks wisely

* Make the environment within the playing group a "You are 110% with us or Fluck off" environment.

Be aggressive at the trade table.

Be tough in every facet of the club.

NO MORE SOFT APPROACH TO ANYTHING - FROM NOW ON THE MFC SHOULD BE A TOUGH, TACTICAL, WELL DRILLED, TAKE NO PRISONERS SPECIAL FORCES UNIT. FROM NOW ON WE ARE AT WAR.

In all seriousness this is the perfect time to start planning this approach. From the beginning of pre season all these wheels should be set in motion.

    Great post.

    Go hard or go home. HTFU. All of those cliches apply.

    Backward steppers can get the fark out!

    As long as the club doesn't use that "110%" fluff cliche.

    100% is enough for me.

    Agree with all of this except for beginning of pre-season. Wheels put in motion as soon as Scully advised the club of his decision.

    Looks like some of these actions have been well and truly put in place.

    Training camp at the army barracks in Darwin, culling of the flaky types etc.

    We are on the upward curve. Finally!

    what? competative & going backwards.

    don't be fooled by getting to the bottom of the 8,, with a 4some of talent who won't chase or put the body on the line & a bunch of hard working individuals who were expected to make for the 4's lacking work.

    that team was going NoWhere but backwards , exactly as it did, & now here we all are. struggling back to where we should have been under ND.

    • 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.
