I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain I'm coming on like a hurricane My lightning's flashing across the sky You're only young, but you're gonna die I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives Nobody's putting up a fight I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya Hells bells Hells bells, you got me ringing Hells bells, my temperature's high Hells bells GO DEES

Not a fan of this thread sorry. Still too early for any backslapping for anyone at the club. Although I agree we do indeed look a different beast this year, and the results bear this out, I also recognise there is so much more opportunity for us to balls things up.

I just love the menace in the words, the thumping riffs, the base and drums. Turn it up as loud as possible. Run through brick wall stuff.

he would say, 'yeah look we're incredibly happy with Jakes contribution to the Melbourne Footy Club. He's put in an incredible amount of work coming off an injury affected preseason and its just been incredible to be incredibly incredible. Come on Dees today. Tough game. Should have them covered though. You'd think. I'll lose my [censored] again tonight if we end up 8-0.

we have one. hells bells. I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain I'm coming on like a hurricane My lightning's flashing across the sky You're only young, but you're gonna die I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives Nobody's putting up a fight I got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya

i liked it. Made sense. Interesting he points out how they achieved what they did without any infrastructure resembling a professional club. Now we have this, unlike any other time. Happy days.

Calm down chook. Its all good mate. In fact it is as good as it can get. The ball bounced off browns chest three times on the lead. He takes them and he looks like the greatest fit of all time. Im wrapped with the win. Lots of players down. ANB and Melksham both useless. Every touch ANB had ended negatively. Every one. almost every one actually Jackson will tear a game apart soon. Young bloke must be getting tired you'd think. Kossie is indeed a bit special. We missed VIney a lot. Ugly win, but nothing wrong with that. Young blokes carrying the old blokes. Can you believe it?

Just watched spargo interview with our man down there at the MFC. Bloody hell, what an easy to listen to well spoken young bloke. Geez that gives me even further confidence in the young man and the whole group.. Im really excited. So enjoying this run of form

Pffft... Jones is a champion. People know that. Has as much respect in the footy world as the next man/woman.

montagna (who is a big rap for us) made reference to the fact that King told him off air that Melbourne 'WILL' let him down. [censored]. Head.

My 11 and 8 year old boys nicknamed ANB - Alex Nearly Bullen, based on the fact of watching him for many years and being frustrated at his impact. As in he 'nearly' did good things. After another good game by Nibbler on the weekend my young fella said I have a new name for Nibbler: Alex New-Bullen. Cracked me up. As for whats changed as per this thread: Im gonna say the input from premiership experienced coaches. I have been a goodwin critic, but he's obviously smart enough to employ these blokes so fair play to him. Cant argue with 6-0. Still cant believe Im writing that.

Well, F$%K me.

Gus is an absolute A-Grade footballer. Playing his role and playing it well.

he runs around like he 'knows' he belongs. he wants to impact. he doesn't care its afl senior footy.

well said Swooper.

Hi all does anyone know if the dees train at Gosch's today?

Stiff for Fritta. can I please ask anyone if they could give me the low down on if the Dees train tomorrow. In the city, so wouldn’t mind going for a squiz as have never done so before. Thanks

Massive. Love him even more for sticking fat. Now just get on the scoreboard clarry, slow down just a little mate (less is more sometimes) and you'll be a superstar. This is another sign of... I whisper it quietly...that the club has changed. Our stars are not departing. If we can lock away Petracca then.. well... sheesh. That picture of him in the opening post? Dude is seriously ripped. He is a physical specimen of an athlete. Sort of a chubby doughboy draft night. Not any more.

Chocco is a legend. Roos a legend (but a bit soft as he was never up for it really - disappointing, but he started our revival post neeld). No coincidence things tick along better when we employ people who have walked the walk. None of this power point presenting new age coach [censored] that looks great, sounds great, but aint great. Yze as well must be making an impact. The transformation in our play is too stark for it not to be a result of their involvement. Well, the players are clearly verbalising it. Good on Goodwin for orchestrating the whole thing and being humble enough and not so stubborn to take these men on board. Our poor performances in Cairns last year are still to fresh for me to forgive and forget. But as time goes on, I look back on the Covid season and it seems rather mickey mouse now with all that went on with shorter quarters, bubbles etc. So I'm trying to let it go. Compared now with less rotations longer quarters, proper footy is back so lets hope Goodwin can continue to steer the ship in the right direction. Dont have to win a flag this year for him to stay on but he has to get us in finals for 2-3 consecutive years.

Over the moon to be proven wrong. 5-0? Just doesn't happen! I have no faith. hahahaha. sad, but true. (see what I am doing here?)

6. Backline 5. Mids 4 forward line 3. wingers 2. Rucks 1. Coaches

I actually thought everyone was getting a bit carried away with Kozzie last year. All i was seeing was the headless chook. But yes you are right his development seems massively accelerated. The kids mum passed away, not yet 21/20 years of age?, playing in the high pressure cooker of afl senior footy, and influencing games in a major way. Unreal stuff.

How good does it feel being 4-0? everyone has already said on here that was most clear about the game. I'm noticing better intelligence. Little things like 'soccering' the footy off the ground to our advantage in contested situations. For years ive watched other teams do the simple smart things like this against us and year after year we repeated the same mistakes. There is not as much interference between our mids, again, in contested situations. Everyone flying for the ball in packs and no one staying down is happening much less. The frustrations of watching us are less this year. Yesterdays win was a big, important win. I'm bleeding for some games to be put away earlier so I can relax a bit more when watching. The problem now of course is keeping a lid on it. Not us fans. The players and coaches. If we can not let this little run go to our heads then again, that will be massive improvement and growth because that is another area (getting ahead of ourselves)we absolutely suck at and the entire AFL community know it and will be expecting it. So this is a huge challenge we face as well. Blowing out Hawthorn would go a ways to making a statement with regards to this. A couple of other things...Chocco out there pregame revving a few of the lads up I loved. Comfortingly old school coach. I am a Goodwin critic of the highest order, but at 4-0 can't complain. Umpiring was appalling. As bad as I've seen. loving Hunts return to form (of which he has only ever been able to maintain for a few weeks at a time), bloody well hope this continues. Players look locked in. Challenged in each and every game. Undefeated still. [censored] wow!

i agree. we just have to support him.

He is a fu$%ing [censored]. Talks a load of absolute [censored]. Clown. He pondered at one point with regards to Kozzie: "he reminds me a lot of...was it.., was it, Aaron Davey?' Pretended to be some old [censored] bloke with no memory. He remembers Aaron Davey. My 11 year old threw his hands in the air at another point and shouted "Dermot Brereton would you just shut the hell up. You're talking absolute rubbish mate."
