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.

im not a egg head just trying to believe in the positives that these changes that are occurring at the club might just happen barracked for this club for 49 years .Winning games would be great still being in the game 15 mins into the first quarter would be better

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

The interest in membership since the Roos appointment is amazing I'm told - phones are ringing hot at the club.

Not a bad start.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
