Let's face it....it really has been the season from Hell for us as Melbourne supporters.

We have had to cop a lot of rubbish and pathetic performances this year! I for one am relieved yet also disappointed that the season is now over. :unsure:

Only two years ago in 2006 we were playing in finals and West Coast won the flag! Now in 2008 we are stone motherless last and West Coast are second last!

Do any of you guys remember 1997? That was an absolutely TERRIBLE year as well! But at least we won 4 games that year! This year we could only manage 3 wins! What a disgrace! In many ways this year is nearly as bad as 1981 when we had ONLY 1 win for the whole entire season! :o

I really hate to say it but we well and truly "earned" the wooden spoon this year! :(

I hope the MFC players are ashamed of themselves! :angry:

Now lets just forget about it all and look forward to the AFL National Draft where we get the number #1 pick and we can look forward to next year! :)

At least things are doing better "off-field" with the Debt Demolition and Cameron Schwab's appointment as the new CEO of the MFC.

Anyways, I'm glad the pain of this year's season is now finally over!

We have to deal with watching the 8 AFL teams that are left in the 2008 finals series with envy and wish it was us....oh well. :(

Give me a week or so and I'll be in a much better mood.............hopefully.

why would you want to finish ninth??

momentum for next year?

sell more memberships?

keep up tradition?

tease your supporters?

nope, finishing last we get draft picks, along with those of last eyar that should see our club be in the premiership window immediately after the cats and hawks....

And the happiest club [bar Geelong] award goes to....Essendon! :o

Thank Jeebus it's over. Awful end to the season as well.

I really hope Bailey kills them in the gym and the track over summer, they deserve it.

Positives out of the year would be the 180 degree turnarounds from Garland, Warnock, Miller, Buckley, Johnson (both) and to lesser extent Sylvia, Dunn, and Jamar.

Two of the three wins were particulary special with the Freo game in the top 10 moments watching the Dees at the G for me.

Developing players to hope for next year continuing their good start to their careers would be Morton, Grimes, Maric, Martin, Wonaeamirri, and Valenti.

Alternatively, form reversals needed for Jones, Batram, Bate, Frawley, Bell, Meesen, and Newton.

And an absence of injury required for McLean, Petterd, Moloney, Robertson, Rivers, and Davey.

No reason to despair for next year and the future, but after last week you are forgiven for being a little, only a little, despondent.

:lol: That was a disgrace by the Bombers. To have kicked just 5 goals at the Telstra Dome and 1 point in the last quarter, well....There should be an inquiry! Maybe A.Anderson can DO something......!

Any time we play Richmond, we need to put a bridesmaid dress on a big pole with a Richmond jumper on it.

With the number 9 on it. ;)

Essendon screwing over Collingwood. Must have been an accident... haha a whole other different form of tanking.

From memory there was a Spurs Man U game some years ago where if Man u won they would deny Arsenal the championship, Man U scored and Spurs fans cheered

I Follow the Gunners & I certainlly Hate Man U. The Collingwood of the EPL.

The Day Alex Ferguson threw a Boot at Beckham after losing to Arsenal made me feel all warm inside. Death is too good for Manchester United!!!!!

Incredible that Ninthmond supporters were running around the cheer squad with wooden spoons... how short their memories are!

Ha! You must sit near me - I saw them too. I guess they were just happy it wasn't them this year. Especially since they finished on the bottom and didn't even get first pick - at least we get that.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
