Every article I read about Judd always has a small paragraph stating something like, the Demons are still in the mix and 'they think they can get him' or ' they really believe they have a shot'. Derogatory stuff basically saying we're dreaming if we think he's going to go to us, all these articles end up saying he will go to eddiewood or the boos. I want to know why the media continue to laugh and not take us seriously. We need to, as a team and as supporters try to turn this demeaning attitude around because I for one am bloody sick of it. :angry:

I agree with the last sentence.

To answer the question in the just look at our history over the last 43 years and you'll discover why so few take us seriously.

That said, how are they different from around half of the posters here who don't rate us as any chance?

Thats because for some of us our whole lives have been watching melbourne just go, hardly ever really challenge, i mean in 2000 we made the GF but realistically essendon where the best team by a mile.

We don't expect as much due to we have not delivered in 43 years, nor really pushed it either.

Amen to that......

But there is a fine line between stating the disappointing truth about our current station in life and being completely disrespectful.

And I would think that the media down there are treading close to the latter, and that should never have to be tolerated.

And depite the fact we are all well aware of what we need to do it is poor form no matter what our history is :rolleyes: !!!

Yeah, but that makes them the fighting underdogs of the competition......

You know the backs against the wall, come out swinging, fight against the odds team. You know the "Shinboner" spirit. Sorry!!

We are just...... Melbourne :rolleyes: !!!

This all goes way back to discussions here and old board about the need for the club to promote the club....not in some namby pamby ...nicey nicey way... but with real teeth.. something...strong.. ...almost a little 'dark'.( tongue in cheek fashion ) ...something DEMONIC !!

Some real fire and brimstone stuff..

Something has to be said / done so people know.....Not to mess with us.....we're DEMONS !!

Exactly right, we won't be respected proply until we hold up a premiship cup:wub:

Now people might Kanga's have played like crap past couple of years (excluding this one) but they have still had a cup in their hands alot more times than us in the past 43 years.

It is the sad reality of the outsiders perceptions.......

And it is definitely something that we as a club both inside and out need to change.

Although I don't expect it to happen with any immediate effect.

Peoples perception, right or wrong, are always hard to alter.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
