was listening to shannon nolls song and was thinking it describes melbourne pretty well at the moment. Neeld is the one who switches us on :) not saying this has happened which it hasn't but quite sure he is the man to do so! i've changed the i's to we and 'you' to neeld :P the only thing that doesn't fit is the part when we were younger.

it was good for a bit of fun! GO DEES

"Switch Us On"

we never thought that we'd find ourselves here

The darkest place that we've ever been

we never thought that we'd take this life for granted, but we did

we would've given it all when we were younger

we would've given up everything for a taste

Of the life and the lights and the crowds

But our mind wasn't right, there were lies

Then neeld came along...

And neeld switched us, switched us on again

And neeld showed us what it's like to live

When neeld found us we wer empty

we were too far gone for anybody

Switch us, switch us on again, tonight.

There was story my old man told me when I was young

He said the measure of a man ain't in his bank account

He said be careful of the things you say and what you do

And all the people that you've got hangin around with you

And I lost my way, prodigal son

Of who I am and where I'm from

Ooh, I was blind but now I see

Then neeld came along

And neeld switched us, switched us on again

And neeld showed us what it's like to live

When neeld found us we were empty

we were too far gone for anybody

Switch us, switch us on again, tonight.

Tonight I've never felt so alive

Just looking in your eyes

I finally realized

What I'm doing with my life.

And neeld switched us, switched us on again

And neeld showed us what it's like to live

When neeld found us we were empty

we were too far gone for anybody

Switch us, switch us on again, tonight.

Neeld switch us, switch us on again

And neeld showed us what it's like to live

When neeld found us we were empty

we were too far gone for anybody

Switch us, switch us on again, tonight.

YDE

i think you might have too much time on your hands if your listening that closely to Shannon Noll.

I would reckon there are many songs that could be applied to MFC particulary Blues related but I have rarely followed the lyrics of one song that closely so I do admire your thoroughness.

And I do like your creativeness and enthusiasm (passion) for the DEES

That song should also inspire Neeld with the level of support you display

BUT

I also would worry that you may see Neeld as the sole factor for success. It is the Melbourne club, the team of coaches, the team of players, the team of supporters who will together participate in the success. While its true he may be and must be a major factor it will only happen when we are all able to contribute what we have.

If you still have time you could look for some similar inspiration for other players Maybe starting at Morton Spencer sylvia and Moloney etc those who are more under attack on Dland than others.

I am sure they and we all could be inspired by songs of support.

Keep the passion.

Shannon Knoll,,,,,, I think I'd rather watch Morton play.

Or Robbo singing that song down in the forward pocket, "What about Me" it isn't fair!

Ha ha thats gold.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
