Because we are starting to smell like a football club and we are starting to act like a football club and are starting to look like a football club . Dare I say it are we becoming a football side again.

I have taken the pizz in previous posts about the previous direction our club was taking(I liked Cudi_420's comment about the membership campaign launched post Roos' appointment: Lacks Schwab). The thing I am loving now is that we are marketing ourselves as a club that you will look forward to the seeing on the field from next year as opposed to some crackpot 5 year plan built on a foundation of sand (tanking) and supported by a scaffolding of historical trivia.

While the skepticism is valid, I have more confidence in the actions of Jackson that any past CEO.

And the appointment Roos is a real coup. If he can achieve what he has targeted over the next three years then I reckon we will reall stink like a good football team.

The best proof of the proposition is that the other clubs are even frightened about us getting a priority pick and threatening a mutiny against the commission's authority if we get one.

This, despite the fact that we qualify on all counts for assistance and if it's not given, it wipes assistance off the map in the future as far the AFL clubs are concerned.

Smells like Dee's spirit

Load up on guns, bring your friends

It's not fun to lose nor to pretend

We have a new Board, they're self-assured

Oh, no, Paul Roos is a dirty word

Hello, hello.....

I agree with you RR

Unfortunately I cannot yet throw off the effect that decades ( particularly the last one) of miserable performance on and off the field by the MFC have had on my brain.

I'm with you OD. I'll pay up my Trident membership, I'll hope, I'll buy a raffle ticket and a 2014 shirt but I wont believe improvement until I see it on the scoreboard.

I remember everyone saying this when Neeld came on board.

Not everyone DD. But I'm on board with Roos, Jackson and hopefully Bartlett although I know little if anything meaningful about him.

I was always concerned with Neeld and his approach, too much stick and no carrot - or put another way, the emotional intelligence of a gnat.

Sucked most in I agree.

It is easy to be sucked in by the hype. With every new Coach it has happened.

Look at the hysteria now. I actually at one stage had to think if we had just won the flag.

Hopefully this latest incarnation ends in joy for us and not tears, by God we deserve it.

Me too Redleg because I fear there will not be another incarnation.

This may well be the last chance

I've had thoughts like this during the summer quite a few times in the last half dozen or so years. Sadly they've proven to be less than accurate. I'll wait and see what happens next thanks.

it was just two weeks ago that Paul Roos made his famous 50/50 comment on Fox Footy and publically signaled his interest in the MFC job

Up until that point I think we had all lost hope, and it was a terrible feeling

Fast forward 2 weeks and the amount of change and positivity in such a short period of time is almost unbelievable. Feels so good

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
