My first OP on this fab forum, I will occasionally use emoticons :)

I've been wearing my MFC apparel more frequently recently and yesterday as I was leaving Bunnings the guy at the gate noticed my MFC logo and said "You a Demons fan?" "yep" I replied, after a short pause, "goodonyer" came back, "we're not traveling too well at the moment" I said, he shrugged, and said, "it comes and goes".

I drove away feeling proud that I was supporting the team through what has been a pretty bleak period. The guy might have felt sorry for me, or...... was impressed that I was showing that I'm a Melbourne supporter, I don't know, but I felt good for the rest of the day.

    Always have and always will wear my red & blue regardless of the result. Given the fact I haven't seen success in my 30+ years, it gives me great pride knowing that everyone who knows me are fully aware of what team I barrack for.

    I wore my jumper in to the bottle shop on Saturday to get some refreshments for that afternoons game. Much to my disappointment, there was absolutely not 1 brand of beer on special. I questioned the check out assistant, who kindly informed me that there are around 2 weekends a year where no beer is on special. My reply, as I looked down at my jumper, was that sadly when these blokes play, I'm willing to pay whatever I need to to numb the pain. He laaughed at sincerely wished us well and tha twe would come away with a win. I'm not even in Vic!

    If that had've been a weekend in January, I'd rather go thirsty than pay full price for beer.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
