SEN have had callers this afternoon saying that Melbourne Members were throwing their 2010 membership scarfs in the bins at the MCG in disgust at the teams performance on Saturday. Is this True?

No matter how bad, mad or disgusted I am at the sides performance I couldn't degrade the team I truely adore (through the good and bad) in this manner. How do others feels?

Did anyone on Demonland throw their scarf away in protest?

    I might have considered it, had I been able to collect mine on the first game of the season, at our "home" ground, for our home game, and at a location where we have our merchandising, but they ran out of scarves. NO, I WOULD NOT HAVE.

    Didn't Robbo mention this in his article ?

    It doesn't achieve anything IMO. If anyone did, they obviously are pretty annoyed and hurt. But to actually throw them in a bin... ? :wacko:

    I couldn't do that. You need them for winter for a start. :)

    When we win a game in the next few weeks and things don't look quite as bleak as they do right now those same people will likely be lining up at the membership tents demanding replacement scarves.

    Fools.

    I think its good to show some passion, too many people sit back and say " oh well, we are a young side" or other rubbish. For once i would like to see people fire up, half the people who write on this site are sheep and follow what others say.

    Maybe its the supporters who need to show the team how to act.. so GET SOME BALLS PEOPLE AND STOP SITTING ON THE FENCE

    He is a sloppy unit and an even sloppier journo. I have my doubts.

    Hello, just a note I was volunteering at Gate 5 handing out the membership scarves, we were flat out from 11.40 until 1.40 when we ran out, a solid two hours for people to get their scarves, we will be back there this Saturday for the same period.......I would never throw my scarf away..you will also find this is lazy journalism, it is on one of the boards that people were throwing them away........maybe it wasn't a supporter who started this rumour....but let it perpetuate......

    I heard it in the 'build up' to the Port North game

    I didn't do it, but I have no problem with it. You pay your money and can do what you like with your own merchandise.

    I'm more annoyed by the supporters I saw clapping the players off.

    Cant blame them.

    Not good enough. Although, I don't blame 'volunteers' for this oversight.

    I didn't see this myself, but i was told this happened. I find it very very disturbing.

    If anybody threw a scarf away after last saturdays game. I hope in the next 2-3 weeks they will buy a new scarf from the club

    Like people burning their beatles records in America in 1966 after Lennon said they were bigger than God.

    All those people re bought the same albums a few weeks later, and the band cleaned up!!!

    Was this just a media beat up by Robinson...?? i wonder. He is such a dull slob really.

    It seem to be a norm when your teams having a bad trot, though ive never seen anyone do it and dont think anyone on this forum would admit if they did it

    I imagine many (most?) people turn up less than 30 minutes before a game.

    On the odd occassion I've been that early, it's been very empty relative to 2:10.

    Now that's controversial.

    Anyone who felt the need to throw away their scarf after one game in season 2010, needs to reassess their mental strength and their life.

    Seriously, I can't think of a more pathetic and weak thing you can do as a supporter.

    Clapping the players off the ground after a game like that is way more pathetic.

    That's not pathetic, that's deluded.

    Both are stupid extremes that point to people who don't really have a grasp on reality, but at least people who clap the team off the ground will be there next week and the week after that, continue to financially support the club and are not cowardly enough to run away crying when the going gets tough.

    FFS, what the hell did people expect? That season 2010 will see a magical "win" switch turned on?

    Definitely, if one loss is enough to make you do something like that, why bother going to the games?

    They could lose every game this season and my scarf would still be safe.

    I mean it's usually pretty safe...it doesn't get waved too often.

    What scarf?

    The last time I got one, it was a thinly woollen teatowel and decided not to go back next time.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
