    We know they often eat their own, but true supporters are embodied in the story of now deceased Tigers fan David MANDIE. Would have seen a lot of pain in those times, but also some premierships. Take the ups with the downs. By all accounts had a great relationship with the players,so expect them to come out fired up on Sunday. Test of character for our boys to weather the storm and step up in the 2nd quarter unlike the last month!

    Yes i heard KB mention him this morning....that guy sounds just like my Grandad, who was born across the road from the punt Road oval in 1906.

    Anyone hear some of the scarf-burning and membership ending talk after Geelong.These old blokes would never even consider EVER leaving their team. Shame on those of little faith .

    I cannot believe the amount of losers that have posted on this topic. You are no different than what you think the club is.

    I believe in this fantastic club, I believe in the administration, the players and the end goal.

    The club doesn’t need this continued negativity; it needs us the supporters to stand up, when we are down (like champions do) and tell the club we believe in what they are doing.

    Oldest club in the league; 12 premierships; Brownlow medallists; AFL legends.

    I LOVE the Melbourne Football Club and always will. If you don’t like them anymore, ‘F’ off. If you can’t watch them anymore ‘F’ off.

    You lose, don’t come running back or telling everyone we are back when you turn your back on the club when it needs you most.

    The supporters are half the problem, if it is not;

    1. At the MCG;

    2. A nice day;

    3. A Saturday;

    4. 2:10 start; and

    5. A chance of Melbourne winning.

    Melbourne supporters don’t turn up.

    All I ask is support the club in a positive manner and believe in what they are doing.

    Agree with most of this!

    They weren't far off the pace today.

    This is what gets me. Some have even referred to the Subi game, in direct comparison to the ES game, as a debacle.

    At Subi we:

    Won 1 quarter.

    Lost by exactly 9 goals.

    Had 22 scoring shots at goal.

    Had 1450 games experience WCE had 1920.

    Travelled and played in front of a hostile 38,000 strong crowd.

    Had Bail, Jurrah, Gysberts, Grimes, Green, Bennell, Wonaeamirri (103 games + Brad Green (300))

    At ES we:

    Won 1 quarter.

    Lost by exactly 8 goals.

    Had 17 scoring shots at goal.

    Had 1477 games experience WCE had 1900.

    Didn't travel and played in front of a partisan, if subdued, 15,000 strong crowd.

    Had Macdonald, Nicholson, Scully, Petterd, McKenzie, Howe, Blease (146 games + Joel Macdonald (106))

    No doubt the ES game was better than the two preceeding.

    The second quarter though was horrible. In fact it was worse than any Subi quarter.

    If we weren't far off the pace, was it a similar result at Subi in April?

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
