I'm watching these sad events from Holland at the moment, and I'm quite distressed by them. Kind of glad I'm not there.

Someone on that other forum has an interesting take on where our problems lay.

Umm, HO if you are suggesting that its the all the fault of the same supporters who have been following the club for the past 50 years you are sorely mistaken. Supporters come and go too; you are aware people die, change teams and give up on football? I would also wager that many current Members were born recently, and if you suggest it is hereditary I would suggest you look at how many supporters families weren't even Dees supporters, I would be one of those, blaming the fans is hilarious.... I'm sure all those Kangas fans were pushing Carey and co. along in the 90s, then dropped off the last couple of years, get your hand off it. I think the biggest problem a supporter base can have is to eat their own, and this would consititute that very idea.

No offense if there are any 'Ology members here, but just reading over their posts on various threads makes me think they are largely a group of arrogant know-nothing-know-it-alls. Seriously I can't believe how self-righteous some of their drivel is.

I agree Cozmo and have said so on another thread.

We too often just roll over.

This post on Demonology sums up why I am sometimes embarrassed to be a Dees supporter.

"I suspect that we are more intelligent, have higher IQ's and are professionally more successful than average supporters of other clubs. We therefore have the intellect and means to get enjoyment from more meaningful activities other than football and therefore don't care about it as much as other clubs supporters."

BEING BORN INTO A POSITION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC PRIVILEGE DOES NOT GIVE YOU A HIGHER IQ !!!!! Being born into privilege and being sent to the most prestigious schools gives you a great advantage but not a higher IQ! What breathtaking arrogance!

Sometimes when I sit amongst my fellow Dees supporters and look around me I feel "I don't belong here". The feeling is more pronounced when I am invited as a guest by an MCC member. BTW I don't hail from "struggle town" by any means, but attitudes such as those expressed above make my blood boil.

Absolutely, spot on.

When I ever take friends & family, they often comment that we have the strangest supporters in the league, that spend more time having a crack at their own players than the opposition .... "very negative" bunch is often used.

Not sure where you guys are sitting, I find melbourne supporters to be some of the best.

Hawthorne and Richmond supporters are the ones that have bugged me the most. And the odd geelong supporter.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
