And you guys are surprised by that?

The funny thing is that the club does know what it takes to be successful, and it knows how to get to the big games. It just doesn't know how to do it consistently.

And that's indicative of an unprofessional, broken business model, one that's lasted for going on 40 years.

Another straight shooter is Dave Misson...Cool. This Pre eason is going to be one to remember, our young boys are going to step up.

Reminds me a lot of 1953 when Norm Smith started his coaching reign....Bails has already done a lot of work...Now it all gets ramped up.

Good times ahead Fellow supporters...We must embrace this time & increase our number of Premiership Cups over the next Decade....

I'm somewhere in the middle....i saw my first game live at the MCG 1970 Grand Final.

First Demon game the old man took me to was Round 1 1971, we beat the Swans by about 20 goals....I have done my share of reading to cover the gaps.

1953 the MFC had pretty much a clean slate of new young players...A new Coach. You know how it panned out.

Not much of a surprise that Misson would take his right-hand man...

Helps for a seamless change...The first 40 odd minutes of "Full Metal Jacket" might have to be watched again soon.

2011 summer...is going to be one hell of a training run...I hope our list embraces it.

WYL you like me have unfortunatley never seen the holy grail but hopefully (I believe) the day is coming.

Not sure you were alive when we won one didn't say what age you were in 1971 all I can tell you about 71 is that summer I went to the Kilkenny Beer Festival in my dad and came home in my mum.

So no Premiership in my lifetime but feeling good about all the changes since 2008 and 2011 was just a bump in the road

Are you saying that when your Dad was in uniform, you were in liquid form?

Sounds like a great catch. Hardly surprised by his "no-one should underestimate the challenge we are facing" in becoming a professional hardened outfit.

I like what I am hearing,

Enjoy the pre-season boys!

The saints couldn't get Ball right tho'. 1 year at the filth, and his speed has returned, and he's kicking good distances again; physically back to his best. Link Not a good look for Misson and his team.

We'll see.

It's easy to be a cynic, Mono but from all reports the guy is one of the best high performance mangers running around.

And he did get Luke Ball into the shape that he was for the GF for the Saints a few years ago when he was phenomenal in a losing side...

He's a great get.

After Misson has finished with them I expect Morton will come out looking like the Terminator .

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
