Bit like a soufflé at the moment; on the rise but if someone slams the door it will sink just as quickly.

I have every faith in what's going on at the moment but want to see how we draft before I start getting too excited. Thankfully no more money players that can't play.

Stop it robbie I am stuck here in Melbourne!

Still I have no.1 GD for company tonight.

Too many false dawns in the past. I like the appointment of Roos a lot. But let's be realistic and not get ahead of ourselves.

Could not agree more Ms

Right now we still have the same list that has been unable to beat time with a stick for two years.

Lets hope we show some improvement in 2014.

I will be happy with 4 wins and being competitive most other weeks.

It has been at least twenty years (since Barrasi) since I have seen the sort of excitement amongst Demon supporters that I experienced yesterday.

Lunch with Demon mates numerous phone calls excited talk everywhere.

How good is it The Demons will become a powerhouse and will be feared I now believe it!

Even the miserable season has faded away never to be spoken about again.

A Brand New Day.

Haha keep it in your pants mate.

Some of you lot need to understand a very basic idea.

Those who do NOT dare to dream will achieve everything they desire.

Those that can appreciate the past and learn from it know that it is the past. The present in fluid and the future is yet to be written

Only pessimists have dismiss potential. Realists tend to temper but secretly they cosset a wish for things to bloom

Man has only evolved, only progressed by dismissing the limitations suggested by the some.

Sounds like foolish rhetoric I have no doubt to some. Hope yo then are happy wearing lids, I'll wear my scarf, I'll dare to think we might get somewhere. others do and they werent even Melbourne. They believe so why cant you .

The rise has not started...The right fouundations are being put in place.

Do not get ahead of yourself...The planning must be done slowly and correctly.

The assistant coaching roles are critical...Roos is coming in cold...He must choose very carefully who he works with & who he grooms for Senior coaaching.

You are spot on, it's a necessary step and an important one, but by no means is Paul Roos the answer.

Roos will set the foundations, which should at least give us a chance to succeed - that alone is worth getting excited about, but not carried away over.

WYL, good post mate.

I have to find my scarf first! Now where did I hide, I mean put the thing?

I also have a dream but the wife is a counter balance to those dreams.

I get the feeling she may has deceived me by actually supporting Collingwood, so I keep telling her she is a MFC supporter.

Is it wrong to make the wife support the same team as her husband unless she already supporter the MFC and the husband does not.

Anyway I am with you all the way unless the wife stops me and my dreams.

You're becoming more bitter than me Moon!!!!!!

Jeezus! That's like a mini-intervention Bitty. I'm shocked.

Ok, i'll change. How about this:

I'm so wrapped that we got Roos and I expect great things very quickly with our substandard list, maybe even be feared by all other clubs, maybe a flag in 12 mths! Wow wee!

Better?

After the last 7 years, ill wait til i see it on the field for an extended period before i even begin to think we are rising again

We are getting the right people in place so at least we are giving ourselves a chance to turn things around

its better than the alternative

Ugh - jeez. I'd prefer if we could just sneak up the ladder quietly this time. The bleaters on BigFooty and such have been a massive source of embarrassment over our previous iterations of "rebuilds".

all i can say that if Port have done it, there is no reason why we cant.

Roos is a far more superior coach to HInkely and our list is probably better

With the Rocks in place of Jackson and Roos, why not take pleasure and Hope from the Power

Really who would have thought they would beat the Colliwobbles yesterday,

Stop it robbie I am stuck here in Melbourne!

Alas I'll be home in a couple of weeks, in the sun by the surf at the moment.

I really think we will do ok next year, but I'm not expecting a Port type resurgence, they had and have a much better list than ours; then again maybe our list is better than it seems but poorly coached. It was poorly coached but who knows about the quality.

What might have been od, if only we had a recruiter who had a clue, imagine our side now, even Neeld would have been hard pressed to fail.

That's just typical Moon. A fickle and shallow post.

But we haven't had a A grade coach before who instils confidence in the players and has a track record for getting the best out of average players.

Recruits (not all) who went to Sydney were average and turned into quality players.

Its ok BB as they will be related soon.

Moon is going to marry BBO sister.

There will be lots of Banana at the wedding!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
