I dont know about you guys but honestly with all the crap thats gone on this year in the media, I dont think i have been prouder before to be a demon supporter.

The way everything has been handled i think has been extremely well and they deserve alot of credit for it, it wouldn't have been easy.

Sure the players havn't performed on the park YET, but we know they will turn that part around. The roots are there now so the onfield performance has only one way to go.

Just want to say well done to the Administration team, coaching staff and players for how they have progressed through the last few months.

I know that as demon supporters we can, and do, argue and have different opinions on a range of things from admin, board, players,coaches, training systems.

I have never been prouder of this footy club and it's members than today

After 3 months of hell we are still very much supportive and united as a club

Principal over cash.

Well done all

This is where you stand up. You have either got priciples or not, no other choice.

That's all well and good, but $ is what keeps a football club alive. Without money, you aren't going to survive.

I'm sure there were a lot of proud Fitzroy supporters out there too.

We have time....being debt free and $6mil in assets allows us to not be in dire straights like we were years ago. If this had have happened 10years ago we'd be cactus. Thank god for Jim who demolished our debt. We have now protected our brand and allowed other potential sponsors to see what we are really made of.

To have not stood up and acted as we did would have left us in a worse position in the long run. We are in a pretty good financial position at the moment, although we will take a huge hit this year. We will come out of this.

BTW There are a lot of proud Fitzroy supporters out there.

Bloody proud.

Well done MFC.

Culture, values, common decency and humanity are worth more than a $2m sponsorhip that can be and will be replaced.

Just you wait, a sponsor will come on board and say that a key reason for their commitment was that we were a community club that did not discriminate and stood for something.

I love this club and wear my heart on my sleeve, no matter how hard the hits are I take for supporting the Dees nothing gives. Yes I dream of seeing the holy grail if I don't I hope my children do and have a toast to me should they see it.

We have stood by our principles this week and I am in admiration for the way the club has handled the situation.

I can't wait to see the boys on Saturday and my boy said to me this morning two more sleeps Daddy so we have a 40year old & a 4 year old who are proud Demons and a 6 year old Pies supporter who asked if he ca wear one of our Dees scarves on Saturday because that is his second team

Go Dees!

Hooray a positive topic, I have always been proud to be an MFC supporter, as somebody said the other day, it's character building...

Just waiting for RPFC and Old Dee to recover from reading 'proud' 'demon' and 'supporter' in the same topic heading before giving their thoughts

As I tweeted today "it's never less than interesting to be a Melbourne supporter"

Not entirely certain where you are going with that reference but as I said in another thread - this is a good day for the values of the MFC, and I gave the club $415 this morning in two superfluous memberships and a raffle ticket to illustrate my feelings.

I can't wait to be in the minority at subi on Saturday - me and all the family proudly wearing all our dees gear.

GO DEES!!

Agree, I have been extremely proud this week of Mark Neeld, the way he has spoken and presented from the final siren on Saturday to his media conference Yesterday he is professional hard nosed and I sincerely hope he can coach our team to success.

The club was backed into a corner, it made a good strong call. No matter what the club says walking away from 2mil per year takes guts.

I wasn't going anywhere I was hoping you would put what you put, after reading it in the other thread, kudos

Given all that has happened to the MFC recently, there's a thought that continues to go through my head. Through adversity you develop resilience. We all know who believed this, but not even he could have thought anything like this could happen all in the space of 3 months.

This whole saga will redefine who we are as a club. People often wonder what our club stands for. What we are witnessing right now, is a club forging new culture.

I have already said in another topic here how Proud I was of Neeld and the way he had handled things

Now its up to the Players to make us proud of them as well

To beat the Weagles at Subi would be a Fantastic response , however I would be just as proud of them even if they didnt win as long as they Battled their hearts out !

If they did that then I have no issues, but if they fail to show pride in their jumper and in their club then we really do have a issue as the old saying goes its not a matter of wether you win or loose but how you play the game that counts .

Lets make this one count !!!!

I agree

and as a postscript i doubt we would have ever seen that $2M each year for 5 years

And people ask "what do we stand for". Now everybody knows. We stand for integrity, honesty and principals of the highest order. Rare values indeed in todays society. At this moment in time I could not be prouder of the MFC.

I am proud of the way the club has handled itself in adversity - I am a little worn out by it all and I patiently await the day when i can be proud of how we won a premiership and how humble we were in victory given all the adversity we have lived though

I have a tear in my eye today. The admiration I have for this club is immeasurable. Big companies will be falling over themselves to be involved with this integrity juggernaut. So proud of you Dees !!! Time for our boys to back it this club up ONFIELD.

I posted the following in a different thread, so please forgive me for re-posting here but I think some journos may be reading our stuff more than usual and I'd like them to know:

I've always wondered what it means when people say our club doesn't stand for anything. Especially because I couldn't see what any other club stood for. But now I know out club does stand for something - decency.

Im proud to be a dees fan. Times are tough and i do get frustrated at times when i think that we may never get that elusive 13th premiership, but i think as im getting older, its damn cool to follow the dees, certainly never boring and people have a lot of respect for us supporters who stick through fat and thin. Keep it up everyone, eventually we will see better days..................

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
