    Not a fan of this as a preseason promo. Its the old "Actions speak louder then words" for me so lets see how they come up after the the first three rounds.

    2020 is a year for redemption. 

    Agree.

    They should use this song in all their campaign material:

    If this is a promo, it's terrible.

    Cannot see the sense of it. 

    Continual focus on the negative does nothing for one's current mood or hope.

    As good a place as any to put this. Terrific replacement game for the round 9 Alice game i reckon:

    Imo we are still in hell.
     

    We ain’t out of it yet but hopefully it happens sooner rather than later.

    To Hell yes; the back bit ??? 

    Might be more honest if the marketing department announced that we've 'twinned' with the Telluride Miners.

    I note that the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, last appearance 1970.  Does the MFC have the current record in the world as the longest drought in winning a premiership?

    No. Cleveland Indians are at 60+ years. And a bunch of NFL teams are at 50+ years since they won anything, if anything.

    Tottenham hasn't won the league since 1960 I think.

    We're bad but we're not the worst. But we're thereabouts. Which basically sums up Melbourne's history.

    Maybe that should be our promo this year:

    "To hell and back...or thereabouts"

    I like it and dont agree with the negativity around this stuff, i understand it, but a video shouldn't cause such angst. The club is a business, it has to engage and excite, i for one love teh prospect of where we could go this year, it was hell last year, not much worse than that. Now will it be heaven or will linger in purgatory or be anchored in hell remains to be seen.

    But if we are  not thinking positive as a club then we are failing our members. The club  must promote, its up to the p[layers to deliver. 

    Well said D3 there are a lot on here who look for the negative in everything Melbourne and for some only a Premiership will stop that. (Actually the first one will be called a flash in the pan and there will be a lot of negativity about winning another one ).

    I thought a lot of comments on here were very old school and quick to criticize. I don't think this promo is saying we are back, it's more about the road to redemption and what is needed to get back. Sure we could do something like this after the fact but that doesn't sell belief or memberships now. I also like it because it requires buy in from the players, we want them to bust a gut and go to another level. This promo is not about them being there yet, but it is about the journey.

    Fort William, a football team in the Highland League in Scotland didn't win a game for 840 days recently. And they play for ten months of the year. Don't know if they'll be on this show that starts on Netflix on 01 March though. Can't say if we'll be featured either. I started following the Packers because they were so bad at the time (pre Brett Favre) that their fans started wearing paper grocery bags over their heads at their games in embarrassment. Straight away I thought, that's the team for me!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
