As a supporter do you feel duped by the MFC

To answer your question, yes. I don't blame Neeldy as I think he has been as honest as can be about the issues facing the club. He has been good in that he isn't as impressed as others have been by us beating up on interstate clubs as the G with the game played on our terms. He seems, to an outsider, to be cultivating a game plan that will hold up against the powerful Victorian clubs in September.

The people who I hold a grudge against are the snake oil salesmen (and some of them are still at the club) who thought, as was noted earlier, that high draft picks coupled with Geelong's game plan would automatically give the club success. As a supporter, the years 2009-2011 have been the most galling experience I have had.

And the direction this club has taken since 2008 has sucked all the energy and fighting spirit out of the players. Mediocrity was the mantra for two seasons.

    I will say it again an again .....our culture stinks. 1964 -2012.....zero premierships. Bad culture for too long.

    My opinion full stop.

    I just watched the first quarter and think we should be renamed the Melbourne Clowns.

    My mates who go for top 8 sides basically think that this level of mediocrity would only be accepted at the MFC. I hope its building to something because its wearing thin.

    Screw Manning Up , sticking Fat, character building [censored].

    I agree with Soidee - 6 Years of sub - standard Football is enough.

    I have stuck fat for nearly 50 years & right now this side is sucking the life out of my passion for this great game.

    I am taking no shots at Neeld here, I actually love the bloke, but for the sake of every Demon supporter's sanity

    we have to begin to take some positive steps forward on the field from 2013.

    6 Years FFS is long enough.

    Driving home on that wet Friday night in September 2006 after we had taken The Saints out of the finals seems like a lifetime ago.

    Yep feeling pretty duped also @ this point in time.

    PS : Range Rover - Classic

    Agree with you here...I'm tired...member for 25 years....tired of it.

    Its been too long...

    I just lose more & more interest watching incompetent non comitted footballers....Its not the entire team who is incompetent but theres some poor footballers on our list.

    "5 year plans for flags"..

    "We have a young side"

    Sick of excuses....

    MAKE IT HAPPEN NEXT YEAR ROUND 1 MFC or I vote with my feet & I wont sign up.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
