Wow. Ditch the coach, captain, trumpeter, assistants... and NO MORE TEAM SONG until we win back respect. The Grand Old Flag has been trod upon, and rubbed in the dirt just like Dunn's face, and just as with Dunn, our players largely stood by and watched.

Will we raise the flag at the dome in a fortnight, being our home game and all. Trumpeter to play the superman theme song......

Season is over for me .... I'm not going to support a bunch of guys that are so so gutless!

I've supported this club through thick and thin.... None of us can cop the crap we witnessed today.

I've backed baily in the past .... But I dead set think the players dont have any respect for him and are not willing to play for him.

Sad state of affairs really if that's the case !! I'd kill to be on an afl list !! Bunch of ungreatfull pricks.

Massive problems at demonland and they need outing.

For the first time ever I'm conceding we need a respected premiership coach at the helm.

Someone that can demand respect and effort. And a list clean out of dead wood ...

I'm extremely gutted .... And there is no chance I will be attending another match this year!

Over and out ...

Whatever .... Bet I've been to more games than you in to past 10 years.

I have more of an inside incite than one may realize. Just don't flaunt it ...

Listen if he wants to vent I totally agree, I don't want to support that rubbish either and I've seen some real crap over the last 40 years but today was the lowest

Wow - I've been following Melbourne for over 40 years and never seen them win a premiership. But I have seen them lose by 190 points to Fitzroy in 1979 (yes I was there and stayed till the end) and now 186 points (no I wasn't there but watched the entire game sitting on the floor rocking back and forth for 2 hours!)

Only a club with an appalling culture can deliver results like this over a sustained period. No matter how bad the list is a club that breeds a culture of having pride in the jumper and the club, and understanding the honour it is in pulling on the red and blue jumper would never allow losses of such a magnitude to occur.

Until the culture changes expect more pain and certainly no premierships!

Here it is.

Melbourne 2010 - 12th place, 8 wins, 1 draw, 94.5%

and currently

Melbourne 2011 - 11th place, 7 wins, 1 draw, 86.8%

We have five games left to match or pass our win-loss rate from last season.

But even if we do, have we gotten better?

Last season only one team, West Coast, finished with 5 wins or less.

This season it is probably going to stay at four. (Port, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Adelaide)

We simply haven't improved this year. I'm afraid I have finally lost faith in the current coaching panel.

The only 'safe' members in my mind are Viney and West.

Garry Lyon said on MMM - today was not a loss, it was the destruction of a club. Pretty serious words.

For mine there is no laughing, no joking, no funny ‘positives’ out of today. Our deficiencies of the last 10 years were simply exposed again, by an exceptional opponent. Little leadership, no mongrel, no muscle. If you think because we have had high draft picks, things will change, I think you will find yourself wrong. Time for serious decisions and the recruitment of leaders, not followers.

I think the scary thing about this loss is that you don't see smashing like this in modern football. With so many specialist coaching roles, player scouting, training facilities and draft concessions, the competition is much closer. Yet we go out and get done by the second biggest margin in football history. This the modern game where coaching techniques are king, and defensive coaching should have prevented such an embarrassment. This is terrifying. A 186 point loss in the modern game is more like a playstation score rather than something that is seen at a stadium.

I will always love this club, but today I am embarrassed for the jumper and club after todays display.

I wonder if Garry Lyon has found some passion to turn this club around after a day like today.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
