WOW after today it really feels like the progress we had thought we had made has been undone.... Will a flogging like this be the catalyst for the change we need? I hope so.

The only glimmer of hope is that some of the young brigade seem like the most determined and tough.

 
 

been on that painful road a long time now thought i could see the tunnel with the light at the end.....seems it was a mirage........CMON DEES FFS don't keep doing this too us

not till we have a true leadership group....No AFL side will respect us, on or off the ground.


Or we could show some spine and beat Carlton next week.... knowing mfc its possible... the ultimate rollercoaster!!!

1....2........3!

We won't be rock bottom until one of our players gets caught placing a be against us for the GC V dees game. Then, and truly then we can sink no further.

 

Bails is lucky Jimmy didnt do a Joe Gutnick and announce at half time to the media that Todd Viney would be caretaker coach for the rest of the season! The morale of members and sponsors is on the line !

This part of the roller coaster is on a big down hill run... Don't expect too much next week other than Robinson getting a smack in the head (fingers crossed).

I thought of that today....Tomorrow's papers will be very interesting.....

The papers will probably just do what the electronic media did tonight - let Bailey off the hook yet again - he comes across as such a nice guy and who can attack a nice guy, regardless of woeful performances!

Mores the pity!

Anyone watching Sainters and GC.

GC have such poise and structure for a first year club. They have a real game plan tonight. Hope they beat the sainter's and take some pressure off us (or maybe I don't, not sure).

ROck bottom. It is always darkest before the Dawn. I really hope this is the bottom, and that the playing group and coaching staff begin the process of brining us back to sunshine. Interested in how the club responds to this, in the press, toward the members and internally.

Never before have we had such a pathetic on field result to catalyse either advancement or change.

That is the whole bloody problem at The MFC.

We need to take a page out of the Bombers and Blues book.

Not good enough then get out of the road we will find someone who is.

For god sake it is as plain as the nose on your face.

The evidence has been there all year.

The rebuild has been a failure.

It is time to be brutal.

Nice guys get beaten by 30 goals.

Pricks play in Grand finals.

Make no mistake posters - this is a defining moment in MFC's history - in today's world no-one just laughs off results like we had at Geelong!

If they beat the saints it will make us look even sillier

first year team beats last years grand finalist

And the oldest team in the competition gets belted by 30 goals.

Well said old dee - exactly my point - MFC needs to develop a mongrel approach!


I remember the '64 flag. I am 58 years of age. I seriously doubt I will live (or remain sane) long enough to see another.

The sad thing is I'm 30 I haven't even seen one and it's unlikely I ever will because today I witnessed the

club I support die.

Not really sure how a sainter's loss to GC would make us look sillier?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
