Too much emotional capital spent to leap now, but, there hasn't been much of a return on the investment. However, hope's eternal and when our time comes, I won't be accused of jumping on the bandwagon.

If the Suns bid on Viney, or Gws for that matter, and Melbourne let him slide I'm through with this club.

I don't believe they'd be that stupid, so I consider the status quo will remain, but I'll be true to my word.

I will die a demon!

Regardless of how many games I can get to I will always support them via my membership.

What might be conditional for me is my support for Aussie Rules footy itself. Its all the rubbish that comes from the MRP, the control freak mentality of the AFL and the moronic media that is doing my head in.

But I will die a demon.

Apparently last night Channel 7 news said collingwood wanted pick 4 for Dawes and Wellingham?

If we do this I will have to rethink my unconditional position quoted above. They are discards for goodness sake! Could help list so would be ok with them coming to MFC but Pick 4: never, never, never!!! With inflated incomes: never, never, never!

Pick 4 should be moved ONLY for an elite player or a MD pick. Anything else and I will seriously question the direction we are heading.

If this trade did happen, i think it would be a short sighted move BUT perhaps Neeld is only interested in the next 2-3 years. He's trying to build a team that can compete, and Dawes and Wellingham would help us do that next year

Still, I hope its a rumour!

It better be a rumour. I'd rather wait a few years and build a side that will compete for premierships than have a quick-fix that will see us MAYBE scrape into the eight only to have our @sses kicked in an elimination final.

Now we know one of your tipping points.

They won't BH.

Yes, my MFC support and purchase of membership is conditional, but ive found in the past 3-4 years. I have found a great appreciation for a couple of other clubs, other than melbourne. A Second and third club, if you will. I mean, its hard not to.

But yes, my primary support for this club is unconditional.

Are you sure you're not a closet Hawk OD?

They lost by the way. :)

After the Dees P_man I admire the Hawks.

I have said elsewhere on a couple of threads that they represent everything that the MFC do not.

Succesfull for decades, win flags, tough, take no prisoners, Hated by all other supporters, plenty of money in the bank and play finals almost every year.

Whats not to admire?

Oh crappy colours but you cannot win them all.

I just cannot believe the stupidity of this club, but more worryingly I'm border-line not caring anymore.

To watch on and see what was happening at Essendon and to not immediately contact the AFL and say that we have been dealing with this bloke Dank is extraordinary. It's not a matter of whether there was a breach of WADA regulations, it's a matter of integrity and transparency. It's about a duty of care to the players and openness with those players parents. The oily approach of this club and the treatment of its supporters beggars belief.

I'll watch this latest disaster with interest. I expect the club to take the appropriate steps with those concerned in this cover up. Some officials should resign in embarrassment before the day is out. My on-going support will be fully dependent on how they handle this final (hopefully) mess.

Welcome back!

You used your postcode post reacting to a non issue.

Everyone's missed you.

We were worried sick.

Could not agree more 'Ben'.

I think one of the main players is already gone, but more need to come forward or be pushed. The sooner Jackson starts at the club the better, May 1 cannot come to quickly.

This year was the closest I've been to not paying my melbourne membership. I did on the weekend, but its really borderline at the moment. The players and the supporters deserve better.

shhhhh...doesnt matter what is happening at Essendon....no one will find out about us.... (OMG)

Mine is. I'll be there on Sunday and for every match this season. This inept Board and coach are not our club and are merely passing players who will soon be gone.

One day we might learn, but if we don't so what, I'll still support.

I'd like to believe i could stop caring but i cant. My current state of disapointment is proof!

I care about the MFC, so much so that the latest news and heavy losses effect my mood generally.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
