    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 .

    Cheers

    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
