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 :rolleyes:

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.

    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...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
