You know, I've just come to the realisation that this thread is the only one on Demonland where more than 50% of its regular posters are sane.

Does this mean the club's in trouble?

Depends on which side of the ledger one sits. Which side of the 50% are you on WJ?

    Are you a tall forward? If so, you are probably injured already ... :lol:

    There is no doubt we have improved as the stats have reflected that improvement.

    What is killing us is the lack of our forward line, ruck backup for Spencer and the poor replacements for our missing players. We are also playing some non AFL standard players ATM and it hurts.

    The non-AFL standards is particularly shown by our clangers. Not only couldn't we hit a cow's arze with a banjo, we would miss so spectacularly that we would knock ourselves out and scare the living #$!% out of the cow, which would go on a rampage and destroy everything in sight (except the banjo) ...

    That might depend on whether you classify yourself as one of the sane ones or not ... :lol:

    If any one is interested Chan Phat grocery in Victoria St, Richmond is selling bananas for $1.29 per kilo. I bought a few kilos for myself and a couple for the local possums. How wonderful.

    Brilliant!

    Potato prices are skyrocketing ATM - so scallop potatoes will be on the back burner. Apologies for topic change.....back to the bananas..

    what's happened to hannibal? tipping point? 426?

    I hope not, that would prove me wrong!

    I suggested that there would be no tipping point, that all with a deep love and affection for their club, to see it rise again will stick fat.

    Probably caught the last plane out of Melbourne Sunday night for a last minute organised vacation for 5 months.

    Will be back in time for trade talk.

    I wish I could afford to do that H_T

    Seems like the perfect solution.

    Trouble is I would still want to sneak a look at the scores etc.

    It seems to me that several recent AFL rules/decisions have hurt us.

    The introduction of the 2 new clubs and all their draft picks have slowed any chance of a quick come back.

    The abolition of the PP has done the same.

    The refusal of Evans to grant us one despite 7 pathetic seasons has done the same.

    The abolition of 1 runner has aided the more experienced teams, of which we are not one.

    The tanking inquiry and its aftermath has also hurt us.

    Our fixture when looked at in a commercial sense has also hurt us financially.

    There are probably more that i can't think of ATM.

    I seem to remember a while back Hannibal/Ben Her/The Moth saying he wouldn't buy a membership until the club showed signs of improvement. Maybe he's gone the whole hog and stopped showing any interest? Or has he copped a suspension H_T?

    I had coffee this afternoon with an old friend who happens to be a dees supporter for almost as long as me.

    Said he has completely disconnected with the MFC after the 2012 season and then AFL at senior level goes to his local Amos team.

    I ask would you come back?

    He said doubt it I am now used to a non AFL existence, just so much easier and more fun.

    He enjoys following a team that wins as many as it loses and he always feels his side has a chance.

    Interesting that he said he no longer worries about the financial problems, does not take millions to field his side.

    Running costs are low and generally has a good time.

    Lost him I think barring a possible GF appearance I doubt he would be back.

    In general conversation he said would never be a member again.

    If we became a good side he might be persuaded to go to the odd game but it would be a GA if at all.

    Indeed suspended. He can mull over his wrong doing whilst peeling back a banana or thousand.

    I may have overlooked the membership statement - I don't recall that, what I do recall was his tipping point if they didn't pick up Hogan. Phew that was a close one. JH's back injury may have tipped him.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
