And we've been so much better since???????

better?

when the place is full of Rot, soft culture & no workethic, you have to surgically remove the worst of it, only allowing those bits you cannot live without.

We've had to do surgery in an ongoing manner over a couple of years, & to me, it looks like we are on a healthy trajectory towards hard won contested footy.

That means we are learning to control the supply of ball. To start with.

We have it seems, recruited well over the last 2 years.

To me it looks, so far so good.

The key for all of us I think, is to not take the heat off our club.

We have to keep demanding results.

Melbourne has it seems, a propensity to become content at the change of winds.

We've been down this road so many times, it time for the supporters to become relentless ourselves.

We have to be the watchdogs to maintain our club stays ontrack.

That means fairly supporting the club, not whingeing about things in the past and constantly complaining to all and sundry about what you think is wrong.

Don't forget to give while you're doing all this "demanding".

It's very tough marking to give Daniher none of the credit for the highs and all of the blame for the lows.

Exactly! why do some people conveniently forget what he achieved in 98 . they are happy to accuse him of leaving the list in a state but how was the list when he took over at the end of 97. Selective memory seems to be a common syndrome on this site. I havent read once where anyone has tried to say he was an all time great, but he did bring some siccess throughout his tenure.

answer the question Stuie.

Were you there?

I was there WYL. That was a bloody good side that 2000 bombers team. The moment i saw nicholson jog over to man up on hird i knew we were F&^%ed. Still , why ignore the achievement of getting to the granny. It was a very finals series for the Dees. Just came up against the giant of the comp that last Saturday

No, it doesn't.

It means keeping a vigilant eye on whats going on.

It means the supporters need to act if things aren't right. that what it means.

Its a bit like politics these days.

if the party isn't doing the job, then the people take action.

Every F*#king supporter was there WYL. If it be watching on TV, sitting with the sponsors (BTW, only sponsors get suitable seats on Grand Final day)or ppl like yourself who would have sat somewhere near the back row of the Great Southern.

We know what happened, we got flogged by what should have been one of the modern great teams in history.

BTW, the best seat in he house is always the TV. Good commentary and analysis from experts. I would never trust your analysis becaue you sat and watched the game live. 15000 of your post are forgetable (and I'm being generous), why would I trust your opinion coz you watched the game live.

You have a simplistic way of looking at things. We gotflogge equals ND being a bad coach. For the sake of this site hold back on the posts and wait until you have something intelligent to say

Glad you enjoyed the Rollercoaster ride so much.

I didn't.

I had a great seat in the old smokers stand btw. Saw everything in 2000.

Waited till the end to.

Spot on ! I'll trade the Danna years for what we've been put through since any time.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
