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.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
