    I am not sure how my "buying in" makes any difference to the score line on saturday.

    I don't run out next saturday ( thank god it would be even worse ) The playing group does not even know I exist.

    I seriously doubt they read my ramblings on here.

    Can you explain how "buying in " effects the way the team plays on saturday

    This is not quite correct OD. Me and bro saw you run out after 3 quarter time on Saturday in an old black duffle coat and you started wacking a few players over the scone and pointing at your own white board!

    :ph34r:

    C'mon OD....fess up!

    I have a feeling the Dr is leading us up the garden path here. I reckon he posted this thread in the hope we would cover his "short position"! Has no doubt already sold his membership (and his mates have gotten wind and probably done same) and old Demon scarves on e-bay today at top dollar and is now flying off to join up with Kevin and crew at GWS!!

    I'm basing this on the definition i just found on "Buy In".... :mellow: ........

    Buy In definition :

    To cover, offset, or close out a short position.

    I'd be more concerned with a few perhaps "buying out" !

    Might be a Sellars market .

    Seems like you're a bit "anchored" with your attitude to your own supporters .Can you give us your blueprint on what you want us to do? Offer a clear , concise solution please .

    We won 5 flags in 6 years from 1955 to 1960 . Can you tell us what that had to do with the supporters ?

    I could give you numerous examples of "Wealthy" sporting clubs with huge manic supporter bases that seldom win anything . Here's a few examples ................The Chicago Cubs , Boston Red Sox , Collingwood , Newcastle United , Tottenham , The New York Knicks and most of the Philadelphia teams (sorry Dappa) .

    You're argument is flawed . Our supporters are already buying in to a large extent .

    Cheers

    There you go just quoting a few very nice examples where success or lack of it had nothing to do with the size of your supporters base. I agree with that whole-heartily.

    To turn this club around we dont need success and visa-versa short-term success may only every be a band-aid.

    So we are getting somewhere - think we now both agree on one thing.

    Cheers.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
