Hi people,

I have read several posts and first thing that stands out is the diversity if opinion from who should be coach to the game style, current culture at the club, clearing out the current list, who to keep, who to trade.

I have also noticed topics are randomly locked while others are not. For example an anti Liam Jurrah comment that wouldn't be tolerated in mainstream media is tolerated here but other comments involving mass player cullings or critique of the coach or the direction the coach is taking us are seemingly locked or not tolerated.

Can we say it as we see it or must we go with the general flow or mood of our members?

myself have followed the Dees since my namesake dominated Melbourne's forward line.

a general lack of leadership/inspiration from top to bottom seems to be the crux of melbourne's current problem.

what do we all think about this issue and am i somewhere near the mark of the general consensus?

Welcome to DL, DandP - I remember those players well.

It's a good place to share opinions which are often passionately and strongly held - sometimes with evidence, sometimes with just feeling, and sometimes with knowledge which can't be publicly disclosed.

I'm probably regarded as being in a minority with my views, but I suspect there is a 'silent majority' out there who are closer to my views than many on DL would think - yes, I do have evidence of that.

Your comment 'a general lack of leadership/inspiration from top to bottom seems to be the crux of Melbourne's current problem' is a good call IMO.

In any case, enjoy the discussion, and don't be afraid to express your opinion (and never take personal offence).

Cheers.

My favourite sauce would probably be Bernaise,

Welcome Dillon & Parke...you and i started supporting this beautiful rabble around the same time as the 2 afore jmentioned were early heroes of mine.

26 was the first number i had...

Good Luck in here it is a ride....

parke and dillon used to switch chf and ff. both were stars. dillon played big V as far as I recall. they were the days of gallery, biffen, hardeman, sullivan, davis, alves.....great side but couldn't get close!

Parke would have been a top line forward if he had been a more accurate kick.

Yes great players in a side that did not click. They should have.

Keefs favourite.

Gentlemen, please, this is the Melbourne club. Black truffle sauce for me, but only if the truffles are sourced from the south of Tuscany by a reliable truffle pig.

just a kid back then. used to collect records after the match!! Parke was an incredible mark not dissimilar to Howe in that regard. agreed his kicking and leg speed were a little sus.

why didn't they click? what did we lack back then and what do we lack right now..??

Probably the same thing Mate...

Our list is going to be vastly different within a month...We can only hope the attitude is to.

welcome dp. loads of rusted on opinion and yes the mod guidelines don't seem consistent especially in relation to LJ. stick to your guns and don't follow just for popularity ticks.

Dillon not only played Big V, he frequently was bog or in the best. A big occasion player, had lots of knee trouble, as I recall.

only problem with Dillon was he seldom looked for Vagg.

an interesting pc of trivia. frosty miller and pat flaherty once tagged teamed dillon and parke in a two on two social work match. dandy came up trumps and that was how parke first seriously injured his knee.

  • 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.
