Cam Bruce has announced his retirement from the Hawks.

Really a pity it was from Hawthorn and not from the MFC.

Should have been at the Dees during 2011.

Good luck in the future CB.

You gave me a lot of joy over the years at the Dees.

 

Not only that Old Dee but we're running out of "running" player options too !! lol

Agree.

 

I don't know exactly what took place through negotiations etc, but I gather there's much to do with MFC's list management and Bruce's true market value at the time being the sticking points.

Had he signed on reasonable circumstances, he'd have chalked up 250 games as a one club player.

Not to be. That said, he was a good servant and representative of the MFC during his time at Melbourne.

Is it just me?

I think I have lost enthusiasm for the season.

Left the game on saturday and retired to the pub for a couple before the trip home.

My mate said it is three weeks before the next game at the G

Just looked at each other and the feeling was who cares.

I think the results so far, injuries, certainity of results and "we have been here every year for the last 5" have drained my will.

Struggled to get even the enthusiasm to even come on Demonland till yesterday.

I think I am over the multi threads on here talking about which players will go, which players to draft etc.

When on earth will we have the prospect of making the finals, discussing the possibility of winning games start?

Early july and another season is done.

I used to worry about losing games now I expect to lose

I think the MFC have drained me.

Welcome to the masochists club.

No, it's just not you.

I want the feeling of enthusiasm back....the spring in the step.

It won't happen whilst the cue is in the rack.

The cue can leave the rack after we lose to Port and the Dogs beat the Blues.

This is exactly what I am talking about Redleg.

When did we start hoping not to win?

Any way I keep telling you there is no problem.

We have one possibly 2 wins to go this year.

It does not matter what the teams above us do

If Port and Dogs win this week I will agree with you.

Correct IMO. Buy some breathing space. Otherwise we may see a GC or GWS game I don't want to see.

I will be very happy to watch those two games, one live at the G and one on TV, hoping for a win.

I am with you there.

In fact Redleg I hope we win more games I do not give a stuff where we finish on the ladder.

I want the rush of winning.

To hell with draft picks we have done that for 5 years.

Just win games and worry about drafting in November.

Now calm down Old Dee. Why as a football fan would you want your team to win?

Seriously I have said to myself, " self this is the last year that you should put up with this sh-t" . To that end, I want the best drafting/trading position possible and then I will pray to God that we don't stuff up. We can fix our side with one good off season and I think this is the one to do it. It really is now or never for many Dees fans.


Good title for a thread Redleg for the off season, "Now or Never"

Sadly I agree not sure there are any more trips to the well left for a lot of Dees fans.

While I want us to win as many games as possible Redleg The reality is 2 is I think the Max.

I really think we will struggle to beat both GWS and GCS.

Go Dees ( spoken in a soft voice with no conviction )

Might use it.

  • Author

Two thirds of the way through the season and 14% of the list is out for the year. Another few are close and LJ has already missed the season.

Might use it.

ah huh !! :)

Redleg another is out injured.

This time McKenzie is there ever a week we do not have an injury?

We must be the worst going around.

Poor old Brad Scott. He can't sleep at night worrying about the state of the game.

Poor li'l possum

What could we suggest for him to get some sleep, would hate to see him miss training - apart from Stilnox but

Great drug with a bad reputation DC

Handy one to blame when you screw up.

A bit like blaming the car when some idiot does some stupid and causes pain and death.

Send some free samples to Scotty.

I hear there are plenty floating around at the Tigers.

Well who would have believed it. Last night I blended a banana into my diet shake and kept reblending after each cup. Ended up swallowing a whole lot of air with my drink. Up all night burping from both ends. I don't blame the banana but what a night.

Whats that got to do with footy, well nothing, but we have been so bad that I have resorted to this rubbish.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
