Watching OTC tonight, the most authoritative show on TV are saying we will get at least to the second last game.

How bloody exciting!

Well we're [censored] now! 

I've always loved Jonathan Brown. The man loves the Dees. Has nothing but good things to say about us. 

Positive press about Melbourne is so confusing I don't know what to do with myself?!

Dees, pay no attention to OTC, maintain your balance, keep your emotions in check and and let the results do the talking.

I have no doubt that you have as much idea as anyone on OTC.

Trust your own instincts. 

Screw this, lid is off. 

Dees to beat the giants in the big dance and the whole crowd to laugh at tom Scully as one 

Nathan jones deserves to hold up the cup more than just about anyone

Early '07 was the best time to be a Melbourne supporter in my memory. The last few weeks rival that though.

Swans by 10 goals.

2007 was sad in my memory We lost winnable games and said goodbye to ND

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT

The media are on and off bandwagons remember st kilda. Let's just grind out a few wins. We have a hard road ahead. 

Who was the fourth member of the panel?

The one who said we wouldn't make it.

Playing finals for the first time in 11 years would be a start. 

5 more wins needed

Agreed, if we lose a few, the media will drop us cold and be on another teams bandwagon.

Was too young in '87, but remember being full of hope '94 and '98. Even though we made the GF in 2000, still reckon '98 was the year we had a real chance.

The collapse from being a good team from 04-06 to the drop off in 07 (and subsequent decade long rebuild) was stark. In hindsight, not entirely sure why ND had to go. Was the board just looking for the first opportunity to let him go?

Exactly. Injuries and the bounce of the ball. We are still a year off truely being a contender, I think we'll run out of gas right at the end. 

Loving what we are doing so far in a very even season. 

All year the media have tried to pigeonhole teams but it's the most even season in living memory with multiple upsets every week making them look stupid.

As well as we are playing now we could just as easily have lost to Collingwood and West Coast.

It's such a crazy season, just enjoy the ride.

I feel like things are getting a tad out of hand.

We haven't even qualified for the finals yet.

Jason Dunstall.  He did say he had us fifth though, god bless his little heart ❤️ 

3 out of 4 on the couch panellists are also blithering idiots...

10 years is a long time. ND did all he could

when Byron came back from holidays in 07 twice the size i knew it was all over. 

If Jakovich had lasted the entire '94 season, Well who knows....

'98 we had a real good side, but G Lyon's back was gone.....

Of course. The reality bus hit us pretty damn hard in 2007, round 1 with those injuries and that massive loss. But up until then it was SWEET being the best side in Victoria...
