I can't wait for this season to end.

Watching us play gives me no pleasure, it just makes me angry and everything that could have gone wrong this year has. I just want it to end and for the club to start a fresh next season. This is what I'm looking forward to:

- A fully fit Clark.

- Another pre-season into Watts (bigger and stronger version in 2012 please)

- Trengove to get over his niggling groin (please let it be an injury)

- Gawn getting through an entire season uninjured.

- Gysberts and Blease to be able to run out games.

I've just had this season, I'm sorry for saying it and I've never felt this way before but it just seems that we've gone from one disaster to the next. I would be very happy to have as low a profile as possible for the next couple of seasons while we develop resurrect the list.

I like it that in 6 more games Jack Viney runs out.

EDIT: for the dummies, yes I know it's not certain he'll be a Demon, although I'm certain he will and yes, I'm not saying he's the "messiah".

....presuming that Vlad doesn't decide to strip up of all our picks and make us pay our first for Viney, or even just make a unilateral decision that he is up for grabs, regardless of F&S. In this annus horribilus nothing would surprise me. Edited by monoccular

I can't wait for the season to end, in fact I thought it ended after the first week and then I knew it was over after the second.

There is nothing more draining than going through the season with the draft being only thing of interest left, after round one.

.....the club to pick up Travis Cloke and recruit some moneyball guns in the midfield and forward pocket roles, like Adam Cockie.

Also can't wait for the club to trade for a B+ touching A midfielder.

Someone please push the abort button on this year. Our memberships should have come with a seat that you can eject out of and parachute straight to a pub.I'm looking forward to blease,evans and nicho next year. All with speed to burn. Then I can't wait for a flag. Good god I want one now.I'm 28, I'm in my drinking prime and want to win the flag whilst I still have my drinking stamina. I WANT MY WEEK LONG BENDER MFC! Make it happen.

As Keating would have had us believe , this is a year we had to have.

Im not sure he was right then, or would be now, but we will be better for it. Cant say its any fun though. Its as though the farmers have ploughed and preparing to weed before sowing the next great crop.

Christ I hope we dont have any more floods or droughts and something finally grows.

Honestly , after some of the carp hes trotted out over the years, not only about us but many other clubs.

I don't know how he's lived this long.

a couple of years ago I was sooo optimistic for the future, by my reckoning we had

Waqtts

Scully

Trengove

McKenzie

Grimes

Jurrah and

Frawley

as a champion core of players coming through, with a brilliant supporting cast of Petterd, Bennell, Gysberts, Blease, Maric, Martin, Jetta, Strauss etc

by and large this crop has turned out to be a complete fizzer and we have nowhere to go really

Howe and Clark have bolstered our stocks and Jones has gotten very good, but that's about it

furthermore we seem to have unexpectedly lost the services of Davey, Moloney, Bartram, Green and Jamar

end result is that our future is looking a hell of a lot dimmer than it was back then

facts of the matter is that we would be spooners if it weren't for the two baby sides, and all of that potential looks like never coming to fruition

Don't agree with your signature there C & B.

Rd 18 we found ourselves on top by default.

We didn't beat anyone of note to get there as other clubs beat those above us.

Then we lost the last 4 games including 1 against the bottom side Carlton and were eleminated in the 1st final.

Learning to crawl is an Infant was a major struggle for all. But it would still have had it's pleasure of achievement, or we wouldn't have got thru.

Learning to walk would have been the same.

Watching this happen for a parent would have mixed emotions, but the ending surely is worth the experience of fear & helplessness, until the kiddie got it right.

# Watching adults struggle like this is difficult, & incredibly frustrationg. BUT NOT abnywhere near as frustrating 7 annoying to think how dd we ever let out list & club fall into the rabble we were thru the 000's !

Making the Finals back then was just a charade, & was NEVER going to go anywhere, with the list & lack of Professionalism we adhered to then.

How did we as supporters allow this to Happen?

That is what I'd like us to think about a little, just to stop this ever happening again.

As soon as I saw the thread title, I knew you were going to say "this season to end". I couldn't agree more. It's the longest, most drawn out car crash I've ever witnessed. And unlike yourself Jarka I'm not at all sorry for saying it.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
