I've been a member for the last 10 years with this man, I feel his pain, but don't stress it to this extreme.

I guess it's an interesting question. How mad can you get at a game of football?

I secretly filmed him during the Richmond game we couldn't get to last week...

Hahahahahaha that was amazing.

Poor soul, I feel his pain. Was he yelling at them to man up?! Epic!

yep, it was the no pressure corralling and the fact we where about to lose to Richmond that set him off.

Mind you he was like this during the Carlton game as well. And many many more of course haha

I don't get that bad. For me, I have far more important and stressful things in my life (not to say you all don't) and I'm just someone that can shake my head and walk away because at the end of the day it's just a game.

But yeah, I am deeply frustrated at this club now. I will not stand for another 50 years without a flag. I won't put up with that. Call me fickle, but there's only so much you're willing to commit. I can dedicate my time elsewhere if the club doesn't perform with this rebuild. This is their last chance for me.

My wife found it quite comforting to know that she's not married to the only one!

Beat me to it DOF. The wife has seen those moments although the arrival of children has seen it somewhat tempered for fear of her wrath should I wake them from slumber..... Or the boy starts copying me!!!

Go Dees!

Ha! This is exactly what I do! I can't control myself, bashing the bejesus out of the couch with the remote... or the volume of my voice.

When I'm at the ground though I am usually just in stunned silence. You know the worst possible result is coming. It's inevitable....but you don't want to show your pain to opposition supporters.

Aaaah football. :wub::mad:

HaHaHa! that video is epic....you really should send it to the club so they "really understand" the serious pain we go through.

I felt like that in the first Wet Coke game this year, before this website went into meltdown!! That sort of calmed me down a bit.

We need a top line Coach NOW...the learner bit is over.

I showed this to my dad and he said to me "you know you're just as bad and some days I'm actually embarrassed to be seating next to you at the footy".

A crazed fan not even a father could love :(

Enjoy them jaded no matter what, time passes very quickly.

my dad is long gone but I enjoyed those days with dad more than any since in spite of the results.

Early days were trips from the country.

Then he would come to melbourne to go with me.

Time moves on and now I go with a couple of friends most weeks but it is never the same.

Yep send it to the club, I thought I was bad but good to see others get frustrated.

MY brother literally picked up my TV once fortunately the window was closed.

I used to be very much like this poor man. It weas getting bad for my health and sanity. However i learnt a lot over the last 5 years about the goings on at our club being out of my control and unable to meet my standards.

Not to say im still not passionate and involved, i just deal with the failure and frustration differently these days.

WOW.

I find it hard to understand how anyone can react like that.

I'm passionate and I'd often love to be out there, feeling like I'd run through walls to win the match... but I don't act like a spoilt child.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
