It brought a smile to my face - and my partner called me grumpy old man less than half an hour ago.

Borrrrrrrrrr - ingggggggggg !

Wonder if Jack Watts was absent due to his focus on fulfilling his potential ;)

Wattsy is the one tipping the snow all over Steph....

I don't mind these videos, gives us a laugh, a brief insight into another side of the club we don't often get to see. Plus, with the 'traditional' player revue becoming more and more irrelevant, I'm much happier with Cale dancing around and singing than hearing about cross dressing and hookers....

Plus, Gawny as the tree! Pissa!

Nothing wrong with making a video, but at least do it well or with some structure. Watching Cale Morton dance like a [censored] doesn't promote the club, no matter how much "fun" the team had.

Agree with this. Looked very amateurish.

Of course it's amatuerish! They are footballers having a laugh!!

Every season after the club makes a Christmas video, we fail to make the finals.

It's about time the club learnt from that.

Clearly baby Jesus doesn't like Demons indulging in yuletide japery.

It's a marketing video produced by the club to increase membership, not a video made for and by the players.

Featuring Melbourne Players does not automatically make it good. The players miming was not in time with the words, and no structure to the dancing. And what was the point of the change in song in the middle? If anything I think that the players would be extremely embarrassed that they have been made to look incompetent and underprepared by the club.

 

I'm with Thomo and CB. Calling it for what it is ...embarassing garbage, it's not funny and there is no imagination.

If you are going to do it at least do it with a planning and employ someone with some creativity.

Dare I say that this video, and our watching it, is accepting mediocrity?

We all know that we are great mediocrity accepters. Maybe we should be mediocrity excepters?

Think about that...or don't.


Gysberts looked as though he was really struggling after the second grab.....out of breath and in dire need of a better engine.....

FCS, it's the club sending their Christmas message to it's members. It's not a full scale production of Phantom of the Opera or the Opening ceremony for the Olympics people.

Light hearted Christmas message, that's all. Having a dig at footy players dancing with a santa hat on...some take it far too seriously.

Merry Christmas to all Demonlanders.

hahaha I'm struggling to find the words to describe how utterly cringe worthy that was from start to finish.

That was mega-cringe!

I'm embarrassed lol.. Morton at 2:22..

Never a truer word said HT.

Lighten up people.

Merry Christmas to all Demonlanders.

It was shocking but just for a change of pace I think people might be reading a little too much into something.

Just a bit of fun with a bit of a reminder to get people involved, and I tell ya what I won't be forgetting it in a hurry!

Production values have definitely dropped a lot since they first did this though, probably wisely invested back into the footy department!

I don't need to "lighten up" (well maybe), it wasn't worth a "laugh", I might be open to getting "laid" (criterion), and it most definitely was cringeworthy.

But if it makes you happy ...


I really struggle to see why anyone would be "embarrassed" by this, if you were directly involved then you may have some claim to be, but to be embarrassed because some of the players from the club that you support made it, beggars belief.

It was some light hearted fun, that's all. News for all, if you don't like it don't watch it, they are of the same standard, from year to year, so save yourselves the "embarrassment" and avoid them in future.

How do you know unless you watch it ?

Take it as a given and save yourself the angst.

I'd prefer to make my own assessment than rely on yours.

Suit yourself, I wouldn't waste my time giving you an assessment it's not that important. Certainly not important enough to justify some of the whinging on here.


Makes me sick watching this rubbish.

Maybe good for kids but that's about it.

No wonder we are perceived as a 'school boy', 'soft' and 'nice' club.

You never see clubs like Collingwood doing this and it's pretty clear why we didn't see Neeld featured.

I'm all for Christmas cheer but seriously. It's a crock of S*^t.

Collingwood has done a Chrissy video and it's just as daggy. I think it's just a bit of fun for the members

"Cringeworthy" is an apt way to describe how the team performed at times in 2011 and how the club dealt with some of the issues that came before it during the year. It also describes the way some of us supporters conducted ourselves during this time. It was a difficult year and our team failed to deliver in accordance with the expectations of the majority of us.

Thankfully, the year is coming to a close and thanks to the fantastic efforts of a number of people around the club (they know who they are) we've managed to extract ourselves from the dark place we were in during the last month and a half of the season.

"Cringeworthy" is the last word I would use to describe the MFC 2011 Christmas video. They're just some naughty boys trying to have fun and sending the message of season's greetings to their loyal fans. It's free to watch, let's take it for what it is and not for what it is not. It is not a piece of film that requires the production values of an academy award nominee. I agree that people should lighten up.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all Demonlanders.

Either Jack was standing on a ladder at 0:56 or that wasn't Steph..... Or Jack has had pine trees implanted in his shins :)

  • 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.
