    We had one:  'Esprit de Corps' in 2018, borrowed from Norm Smith:  "We have this spirit at Melbourne.  It embraces loyalty to the team, to the coach and to teammates.  It is the spirit essential for success". 

    We seem to have lost sight of it since then.  Don't hear it referred to anymore. 

    Good discussion of it here:

     

    Most players have loyalty to their manager and the mighty $.

    High performing organisations may have creeds, mission statements, and any number of motherhood statements. 

    However they are not top organisations because of such statements. 

    They are organisations that have appointed talented people and developed that talent. They recruit people that can grow into leaders of the organisation. As a result, they attract the best because everyone wants to be part of the organisation. It’s history and culture of success becomes a way of being and individually and collectively people are driven to work hard and perform at a high level.  People are ingrained with this philosophy and way of working. Working as a team is a natural organic thing. There is innate talent/skills and this talent is nurtured and developed. There is mutual respect between team members and these individuals assist one another to achieve their goals. 

    Norm Smith Esprit de Corps as commented on by Lucifer is an effective explanation of success. It’s as good as anything. 

    Slogans will always be used in organisations but it comes about as a result of the people you hire, train, coach, and, the people you place in leadership positions. Then success becomes innate to the organisation and follows almost naturally. 

    Well Richmond where no power house when Branden Gale made Richmond's mission statement

    I was thinking that we need a demons supporter pledge.

    I pledge never  to get negative thoughts when the demons are 38 points up.

    I pledge never to scream at the demons  on the TV when their losing.

    I pledge never to say I knew it, when we lose after being up by 7 goals +

    I pledge  never to abuse a player, when they turnover a 20 Meter kick under no pressure.

    I pledge never to throw the TV remote , or my phone  on the ground when the demons lose to the Saints again.

    I pledge never to yell sack the coach after a lose.

    I pledge never to be upset about any win against any team by any margin.

    I pledge  always to love the demons, whether we win lose or draw.

    You must agree to all these pledges, if you want to follow the demons.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
