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

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.

quoted for truth. I know that feel.

There has been a lot of personell change but no improvement.

Heartbreaking...no wonder the kangaroo supporters hate this club deep down, something that really hurts me. But can you blame them?

 

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.

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.

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.

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

Well... the ugly part of 2012 is over with.

Hopefully the series of events in trade week and the draft really make this season one that's been worth sitting through.

I am optimistic...

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.

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....

Yeah! Stuie's still at it.

haha I've been told that many times but as the topic states - I Love this club!

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..

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
