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.

    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 )

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
