Is it just me or do most here contemplate the facts that we have )probaly 33,000 memebers and are sitting in ninth spot (ignoring the pies and dogs games)and find this unbelievable after the last few years.

Someone must take serious credit no matter what. Long way to go but...

It feels like I am following a very similar but oh so different team. Everyone who has done anything for the club over the last couple of years should feel proud but I know exactly who should take the credit (but he won't cause that is the sort of bloke he is).

Correct,

I know of 4 new members who say if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for us.

Fantastic Job so Far, but let's not forget that nothing has really been achieved yet. Sounds like a Tough call.

But we must be Tough & caring to succeed.

I want to see our Beloved President holding 2-3 cups in his hands. See the joy in his eyes. Then we can all marvel in glorious achievements.

We have been close before-This time we do.

Go the Demons. B)

The membership thing is important, absolutely, but as a fan I'm loving one thing above everything.

Since about 6 rounds into 2007, I knew, looking at our list, and the teams we sent out each week, that the vast majority of our 22 would not be at the club when we were a serious threat again.

Since then, three years ago (an eternity in footy), I have been hanging for the day I get a new list of 22 to dissect and sing the praises of. Hopefully with some confidence. After Hannabal's "Top 6" thread a lot of people whittled that number down to six bona-fide stars we can get excited about.

This year I have those names.

Frawley, Scully, Trengove, Watts, Grimes and Morton. 6 I can have extreme confidence will let me down rarely. And will probably play less "bad" games than our big-name 6 from five years ago... Neitz, Yze, Bruce, Robertson, Green, White.

What's more to the point is the excellent conversion rate of 'supporters' to members we obtain. I remember reading recently that we have the best ratio on this.

It's a point I think is worth trumpeting given the amount of carp Melbourne people are given for 'not turning up' or 'being counted'.

So credit taking for those who are due, sure - but some of that should be going to us as a group.

I didn't even bother mentioning Gysberts, who I think will be great too.

They will be great players (McKenzie, Gysberts) but I'm not sure if we'll ever be able to put them in the same class as the other 6.

Blease, I think, will reach their level.

I think we'll need to squeeze Blease into that group eventually.

I think Jordie McKenzie is all class too. So there is another to add to thelist.

Jack Viney should be in that group of 6.

What about one of our current best 6 who is 26, who still has a fair bit of footy still to play and probably our most improved in the last 18 months. Notably a very important player in the scheme of things.

Mark Jamar ?

Good call, but i was thinking more of the new kiddies. Jordie McKenzie has just sort of appeared to we supporters out of nowhere this year.

Bloody Brilliant-My sister in law knows his family & says he is a great kid. So i really hope he succeeds because he has worked really hard at it so far.

Every year for the last 15 or so I have picked one player as "my boy", the player that I watch most carefully and follow and this year I took Jordie. I have spoken to him a couple of times and he is a great kid and loves the club and his footy. He has a habit of saying " yeah" all the time and I feel like that should be his nickname. I think he will have a great career with us.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
