The type of club you want to support ?

Featured Replies

Not sure if others have pointed out but in the interview with Neeld (Part 3 right at the end) He is asked what is it that excites him about the prospects of getting this Club up the ladder and he says "What we're trying to do...where trying to get a club that one has a ruthless winning culture and have players within the place that have a game styles that stands up in finals and be there for a period of time"

and thats the type of club I want to see us as.

If the coach said, 'all i care about is that the guys enjoy their footy" but we won a heap of games i'd be happy.

Talk is cheap. Results are what i want to see from Neeld

Often I hear supporters (and players too, for that matter) say that they want the club to 'stand for something', to gain 'respect', to be 'ruthless', or some variation on these ideas.

That's fine.

But all I want is a premiership.

Poorly run clubs don't win flags, which is the point.

Fair call. The club is in the best financial shape it has been in for years, so it's up to the footy department now. I'll keep supporting regardless.

I reckon that's where we differ DemonWA, I am happy with the way the coach is taking this team and I would prefer development of our list into a team of ruthless winners for a sustained period rather then a short term positive win-loss record. But each to their own I guess.

But all I want is a premiership. One premiership. In my lifetime. If I get that, I'll be happy and all the losses we've endured won't matter. In fact, they'll only make it sweeter.

I agree to an extent - I crave a premiership and supporting the MFC for 25 years I just want one. But in reality I want the MFC to be the most successful club, I want to see us win one, and then another, and another until we sit atop the premiership ladder with more flags than Carlton, Essendon & Collingwood.

Premierships are as addictive as any drug Brian and I assure you, your thirst won't be quenched after one. You'll be more desperate for the second than the first, because after you've tasted one you'll see just how good the taste is.

I can recall the feeling of invincibility when I was a kid, we just beat everyone and I never tired of it; imagine going to the football every week expecting to win.

That is the exact feeling RobbieF I used to look forward to the Queens birthday game. It was a discussion about how much we would win by.

And Brian Wilson regularly beating the pies gave you a glow for weeks

Imnot sure.. I can only take to heart the ideas and passion that those who witnessed earlier exaltation at the hand of Melbourne teams can impart.

i almost saense the hunger is proportional tothe time youve had to wait.

then again...I wouldnt really know, like most here as a Melbourne Premiership is only something ive read about about as real and tangible as a Belzebub himself

Trust me one will not sate your appetite; to see the captain of your club lift the cup high will raise the hair on the back of your neck and you'll feast off it until the start of the next season. Then you'll want it again.

Keep talking....

Don't let the fairytale end there.

Just one will do me fine thanks

Imagine yourself at the G, we are playing Collingwood for our second in a row and we win in front of 98,000; now tell me you would still be happy with one flag.

If it ends like '64 i'm all in.But in all honesty i'd take greater delight in ripping carltank or the bummers a new one.I was too young to remember 64 but unfortunately remember most seasons since.

So yeh at this stage i'm not greedy,one will make me happy.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
