Is anyone excited about all the changes that are going to transpire at our club in the coming months? I am, i mean i was originally sad, but after the initial grieving process when i found out about neile daniher and after the first 9 games i found that i am really excited and looking forward to what is going to happen at our club. Its great. The demons are finally moving forward. So if your positive about the whole situation then post your positive thoughts here!

Its hard to be excited at the moment, Im looking forward when they announce the new coach, and the national draft is on, seeing who we will pick up and later when Draft week happens seeing who the new coach sacks and who they give a life line to.

I'm excited that I don't have to worry about finding the cash to pay for finals tickets

No wonder us Melbourne supporters can afford to drive luxury cars and take frequent vacations in the snow :rolleyes:

Sentence one suggests you're not one of the supporters described in sentence two :P

As much as the media paint our club to be a basket case (in particular Patrick Smith) I have to say I am pretty positive going forward.

On field we are a rabble, but we all know how quickly things can turn around, and the introduction of a new coach with a fresh set of eyes and ideas does excite me and makes me optimistic for 2008.

I am also looking forward to seeing Neita play 300 games, and hope the club celebrates the milestone

in a manner befitting the champion player that Neitz is.

To be honest, I am a bit reluctant to get excited just yet!

My whole life (as with most of you) I have been on the "excitement" roller coaster that is this wonderful footy club! I refuse to get excited about next year until we have been told who our coach is.... If it is Connolly then I will be so excited that I won't renew my membership and I will start going to A-League games!

McKenna gets the gig and I will be once again buzzing with excitement.....

Sheedy, Longmire, Ratten or Voss and I will be enjoying a few months of internal optimism as to what next year holds!

But seriously, with our list, excitement will always give way to embarrassment!

Make the right trades, de-list the right players, draft a young gun or 3 and we shall see what the future holds!

Please only post positive comments on this thread. NO NEGATIVITY. That means no SARCARSM. If you want to be sarcastic and negative post your own thread. Only positive dee supporters will move forward with the club, the rest can be miserble and be left behind.

Now your talking!!!!!!!

Its kind of like going into New Year......

You get a chance to put everything bad aside, set new goals and start again (even if that is not quite the complete reality) with a clean slate.

And this is pretty much where we find ourselves at this point in time.

Its our 150th year, a massive event, and with a new coach and philosophy, new facilities on the horizon (finally), possibly some new players into the fold, and hopefully a whole new attitude within the team and club, it could well be the fresh start we all so desperately need, especially after this season.

Besides we always live in hope ;) :D !!!

I get excited if I think about the 'ins and outs' for next year, assuming we continue with the policy of resting the injured (Robbo, get off the ground until you can get up off the ground!)

I've taken some latitude here, but this is a thought process, not a grant application.

I also haven't included players like Brown, Ward, Bizzell, Holland, Ferguson and Pickett in order to minimise 'But he's leaving anyway' comments. Yes, Miller is still in there. Please let that slide and stay on topic!

Currently not playing and not likely to play this year -

Rivers

Yze

Petterd

Whelan

Bartram

Currently playing obviously injured or seriously out of form

Neitz

Robertson

Mclean

Davey

Question marks on current form and/or match fitness from interrupted seasons

Carroll

Jamar

Johnstone

Miller

Moloney

Bell

Bruce

Young players with credibly anticipated imrpovement to come

Jones

Buckley

Petterd

Sylvia (still)

Newton

Dunn

Frawley

Bate

It doesn't take long to see just how dramatically this team can change.

Imagine a year with a normal injury rate. Imagine some renewal of form for a few players (I haven't even included White and Green, who I think could both do a lot better even though they aren't 'failing' at present).

Throw in a high draft pick or two and a driven, energetic coach...

I'm actually confident that next year will see competitive performances. I won't predict further, but yes, my fires still burn!

And to those who have looked up our worst season ever stats, I think it'd be fun to see if there has ever, ever been a team which didn't have a single player play the entire season. Get that record and 2007 becomes a meaningful part of history, instead of just a miserable year - anytime it comes up, the 'talking point' would be the incredible injury run, not the terrible performance!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
