Hahaha very good!

Seriously though, in response to the OP; when I was a kid I played junior footy as most here probably did. We were successful when I was 10-12 years old but by the time I was 16 we were only making up the numbers. When I was 17 I decided to ditch my team to go and play for another team where a lot of my mates were playing. Problem was my mates sucked at football, I played full back on a monster in my first practice game and had 15 kicked on me played another two games then quit. Meanwhile my old team went on to win the flag that year and being a b it older got to celebrate properly this time.

Is there a point to this? I'd say that as gutted as we all feel now we've invested too much to just turn our backs on the club. I couldn't stand giving the club away and then in 3 or 4 years they turn around and win the flag. It wouldn't be the same as if I had stuck through thick and thin like I have since I was 5 years old.

If only 3 or 4 years was true DA.

After so many false horizons DA I now doubt we have what it takes in this group be it players or coaching staff.

    The demons awoke before dawn, they put their boots on

    Went up the race past the peanut gallery

    And they tried to get the ball

    They went into the middle and got smashed, and... then they

    Looked around at each other, and then they

    Could not find the ball

    And they played so poor(ly) ...and our hopes died

    Demons, yes all, We want to kill you

    Bailey... We want to... Fffffff....... Fire you!

    C'mon Malthouse take a chance on us...

    I suggest a name change!

    back the Fuchsias, there is not much Demon in us!

    After 16 consecutive years of membership, tonight is the last game from the MFC I will follow.

    I can't take this anymore, and tonight is the first time I realised, I don't have to.

    I have packed up my signed jumpers, membership scarfs, beanies, photo's and my membership card and placed them in a spot that one day, maybe someone might find and wonder who this club was, and what it stood for (nothing)

    This club has received its last $ from me.

    I wish you all well. No hard feelings, I've felt your pain, but enough is enough.

    All the best

    Jurrah Mancrush

    Can I have them? Or atleast give me a treasure map! Please

    I have done this with another sporting code, V8 supercars, got rid of all my Ford memorabilia, photos, clothing etc and pronounced that i will never support ford again because of their lack of passion, intent etc.

    That was after Courtney jumped ship and went to HRT. I now find myself still watching the V8's and a little voice in my head screaming "GO FORD", you will ALWAYS love them even if your concious mind says no, the sub concious and your heart will always "beat true".

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
