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.

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.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
