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.

    Yes, that is what I meant.

    Everything in place by the start of pre season.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
