The Perfect Storm

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.

The Melbourne Football Club as we know it is dead.

That was the final dagger in the heart.

And now. Rebirth.

100% Melbourne. Through and through.

**Bump**

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!

that F&^*^%g "c" word...

only 5-6 years ago we were very competitive, got to get back to that or goodbye Neeld

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.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
