The NEW Melbourne

[The Chazz 4,077]

Humour me, bear with me. The topic is a bit different as Im referring to the holistic overall change , not so much the components as they are well served elsewhere.

What am I getting at...well some ask that often

We as Melbourne supporters know we've been rubbish and for so many reasons. The Back office was lackadaisical, more occupied by....well insert topic of choice.

The list is wanting. The 'message" was wanting . the delivery was 'wanting'...we were just....deplorable.

As a group we sought solutions ne answers to our concerns. And then something odd happened.. Things started to happen. We do have some talent. Not enough. We have a Football Dept and a Ceo who Know wtf they are doing.

There is a plan unfolding that will see us change quite dramatically over this EOS into ...well, we dont know but it WILL be different and there will be knock-ons.

NOW after that long winded ( sorry ) opening I ask you. We are so used to misery , we hold the Martyr mantel of this league currently and a lot actually take refuge in it.

If we come out next season as competitive and with a list requiring constant recourse to the 'Footy Record" come gameday .. ARE YOU READY?

It seems like a silly thing to ask but I seriously think the club is about to hit the GO button.

This will require a change of paradigm ...from accepted losers to 'combatants'....i.e relevant .

This may cause bums to hit seats,flags to wave, hopes to lift.

You up for it ??

All due respect B59, you've been pumping these false dawns as much as anyone, especially since I started posting since 2009.

In that time, I remember the times you thought we were going to get KOTD during a draft/trade period, that some players would play "Neeld footy" - the Neeld that was hard/tough/uncompromising, not what hindsight showed us Neeld to being the incompetent/fcuked in the head type stuff. If I were to just rely on your ramping over the past 5 or so years, I'd be struggling to understand why we haven't gone back-to-back by now.

Luckily for you that I've been living this nightmare period too, so can understand your continual optimism when something new comes in, and sincerely commend you for it, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Only One?????

Elastic band and ice cream sticks would need replacing after one.

Only One?????

Yes! Because I would then be dead!

I am so ready to hang it instead of being the one that it gets hung on.

Also getting sick of forking out cartons of beer for standard bets that I've known for years that I'll lose.

Last bet I made was with my bummer supporting bro that the MFC would get to a Grand Final before the Dons did.

I claimed i won it in 2000, he never paid up for technical reasons...

Melbourne 3.0 or is it 4.0? I've lost track.

Possibly. A boiled lolly is a good icebreaker AzzKika
