I love this club

Nailed it. All in your own words too.

Umm hello mods?!! More than happy for you to delete my response to this but why is there such a double standard in what posts stay and what don't? So it's ok for someone to misquote and ridicule another poster here but if you respond to it you're in trouble?

Pull your heads out.

The assertion that MFC supporters accept mediocrity is wrong and to purport this trait as being endemic within our supporters is

post of the year.......particularly this week :)

I agree.

The media have been kicking us, since the start of the year.

Were the easist target in football this year.

Let 'em keep kicking us. The media is just a cliche factory.

Demonland is the only reliabe source.Ha!

unbelieveble aint it.. as i said in one of the other post normally each there is always something to look forward to towards next year but im sapped of whatever confidence i have on this club. i love and will always support this club till death but far out it kills me watching finals every year and imagining your team playing out there.

also i feel for the more older generation supporters that might not live to see another flag.. then again im only 22 and il be lucky if il ever see one in my lifetime

15 months later and absolutely nothing has changed.

Sad but true. I have jumped on the reality bus, I'm trying to be elite in my support for this club, but the wheel simply isn't turning. True shame, I can't quite put a definitive answer on what has happened over the past 12 months.

I love this club.

It's history, it's tradition, it's back against the wall survival. The way you can run into a Melbourne fan in the unlikeliest of places and know you've got someone to have a beer with over the next few hours. I love that our home ground is the best ground in the world. That we have a history to be proud of. We are not a franchise. We are not a flash in the pan. Our supporters' faces show the pain of following a tormented club. But with that comes that knowledge that we have tough spirits. That when we see our club hit the front on the hallowed turf it rings more through to our souls than for any other club. There are not many of us, but we can make the noise of 5 times our opposition. We will cheer our boys through thick and (usually) thin.

This will not change after tonight's game - the crying and grandstanding will subside. Probably after we knock off Adelaide (even if it's a poor win).

I must admit, however, that I'm weary. I'm weary of looking for positives where there are few. I realise that we'll get through this period. But it just gets weary.

I defend the boys wherever possible. Even this year I've tried to spin it so that our one quarter agains the top 6 Swans was good enough for a draw. Our 1 and a half quarters (if that) was good enough for a 5 goal lead on the top 4 Hawks. Our 1 and a half quarters was good enough for a 41 points turnaround on the Lions. Our 9 minutes of footy was good enough for a 53 points lead over the Suns.

But how long can you spin?

I know full-well that in 10 days I'll be in the Red and Blue Jumper cheering the boys onto the ground, after every goal and for every free kick. But I'd like to see the boys give some back consistently with at least effort and intensity.

No one expects a win every week - but it's fair enough to expect 4 quarters of determined, competitive football.

Yep.

Misery loves company.

My love of this club is undiminished. Red and Blue for life, no compromise.

But my passionare hunger to go to games, watch them on TV, buy merchandise for my kids is at at an all time low. Cannot believe I am watching ANOTHER finals series wihtut Dees in it. I feel flat as hell right now.

I love this club, but I hate this team.

They managed to get pulverized by a team that would have been better off losing, on my friggin birthday.

They are like the Grinch that stole Christmas... every weekend!

So yes, I love this club, but this team... nope, sorry.

45 we get all the perks compared to Nought. But what do we do with them?

I know a lot of Nought supporters....0 respect for the Demons i assure you.

The little lean fish in the Pond that is feisty, & the big Bloated fish in the pond that can barely move. Both Battling.

Depressing to think that this was written nearly two years ago - and things have only gotten worse.

This was after the Eagles debacle wasn't it. The night i realized this club was in deep trouble as did many others. Edited by why you little

I walked into the tattoo palour today and placed the MFC on my heart - He looked at me and laughed (being a fellow MFC supporter) - All I could say....Hold strong! If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. The harder it is to achieve something, the sweeter it will be....

Its like having a child who is a junkie and in prison.

You still love them even though they are a loser.

I love this club.

Win lose or draw there it doesn't get much better than walking across to the MCG knowing that I'm watching the oldest club in Australia, that I'm going to sit in the most famous stadium in Australia and that, on current form, I'm going to have great bar access when we play interstate clubs. Go Dees!

As my current Facebook status reads: "Demon for life (sentence)"

A Bomber fan commented by apologising profusely for her team's annihilation of mine. Said she felt "really, really, really bad for you guys".

I know it's well intentioned, but I feel like telling her that pity is alot worse than scorn in this game..

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
