Not me. I see where you're all coming from, and I like the way the club has handled a tough week.

But I felt ashamed on Saturday afternoon, and I still do.

I support the MFC because I like footy, I don't follow it for politics or moral stands.

When the team I support put in a real effort I'll remember what pride feels like.

I don't feel particularly warm and fuzzy about all this. I never thought sponsors should be paragons of virtue and the bloke that is putting $2 million into the club is a jerk. So are many other sponsors- So is the KG Demetriou going to take Emirates sponsorship away from the wobble people over human rights issues.I wouldn;t think so. Essentially we have givers and takers in footy clubs and those rightuous souls who's hands were forced into sacking the sponsor put are takers. I just want us to play good footy and win a premiership. This aim has been set back a few years today.

I was imagining life without the dees today and even though they frustrate the hell out of me, I know my life would have a massive hole in it if they cease to exist. I know everyone who posts here, and thousands of others around the land would feel the same.

We are far from perfect, but I love us. It's a love that can't be described. You can be screwed over by a lover and cast them from your mind, a football club is different. My frustrations from this club come from me wanting them to be successful when they aren't and that is all.

I love this club, I love it's history and the fact that it is one of the oldest sporting organisations in the world. I love it's integrity, I love the colours and the way it makes me feel when I see them having a dig.

Now it's time to listen to some Muse uprising and stick my finger up to the organisation because they will try to [censored] with us but they can't do [censored]!

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.

Too right. Now if only the on-field performance can reflect our off-field resilience.

It's such a love-hate relationship. These are only achieved if you are passionate. We're in too deep to get out now.

I often wonder if i had gone down a different path, if my dad barracked for another team and i in his footsteps (brainwashed and all), would it be the same?

This club really frustrates the hell out of me sometimes. I have never been angrier than the levels that this club drives me to, but that's only because i care too damn much. If i had my time again would I support the Dees? You're goddamn right i would.

There's a saying in my family...

"There's two things in your life you don't change - your religion and your football team."

And as far as we're concerned they're one and the same.

I'm always proud to be a Melbourne member, regardless of their position on the ladder.

I'm also extremely proud that we have a CEO like Cameron Schwab at the helm. He's been a fantastic representative of the Club he loves over the last few months and beyond.

Go Dees!

The Bears are eing thrashed the way we should have treated them. Which tells me we, Right Now are a very poor side. But our coach is a teacher...we must climb each week. To become elite. Dam the media, as long as the club hangs tough. It just has to be done. Those who do not embrace will be cut.

Yeah, because we have a midfield of Judd and Murphy. Tonight just shows how important a brilliant midfield is.

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.

And I like demonland better when we stand together.

Ran out of likes

So much to support especially when "backs are against the wall" " what doesnt kill you makes you stronger" etc

Passion is obvious on the demonland site

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
