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.

    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.

    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.

    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 )

    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.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
