.,....a choice.....to be a Melbourne Supporter....or stand in a corner facing the wall, chain smoking and having buckets of cold water thrown over you, whilst constantly turning to look back over the shoulder with the "Ride of the Valkyries" blaring out on a continuous loop.....

Aren't they the same thing!

    Darren Jarman? Drafted but ever even came over to train?

    And your defender is probably Nathan Bassett.

    Might have been thinking of Matthew Bishop? or Nathan Bassett (Rookie listed I think?)

    Anyway I agree, I think some players need to move, and it's the shakeup of being traded/delisted that actually gets them going at the level they need to.

    For me the bite on the bum is pulling players into our team, and not having them perform.... that hurts more.

    bassett had broken strenum and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes( think it was about the time he may been elevated to senior list,dont quote on this), like luke molan destined never to play for mfc

    He hated playing at VFL level and he was never happy living in Melbourne

    Moloney will come back to bite us hard as will Rivers. Previously posted the Guy's we've lost are better than the Guy's commin in, i.e. Dawes, Byrnes V Rivers, Jurrah, Moloney and Greene. 2013 is looking scary.

    LOL I'll be saving this post for this time next year.

    If Neeld can't back himself in to do this, what does it say about him?

    It may say " here is another in a long line of footballers from many different clubs under many different coaches that had god given talent but possibly werent prepared to work hard enough to turn talent into constant high level performance".

    Once again - let us blame coaches for the footallers failing to deliver on promise.

    God that's poor posting. You're forgetting to add in Viney, Wines, Barry and potential development of Taggert etc. Moloney and Jurrah both didn't play, Green was sporadic and Rivers played his best games in 2012 in the fwd line.

    What are you basing your judgement on? Their previous best or their output next year? I can guarantee you Green and Jurrah would be huge liabilities next year, Moloney never bought into the AFL system of defensive running thus would be no help in 2013 and Rivers has been overtaken by a 21 year old pick 53.

    The anti-Neeld on here is so frustrating.

    and what did Moloney & Jurrah do for the MFC in 2012??

    So much i can't even remember. You have an agenda Pants. You do not want Neeld to succeed.

    We can forget about Brent, no Jamar at Brisbane. I think we'll really miss Jared in the backline, where he dominated this year but it opens a spot up for somebody else so hopefully it's a case of short term pain, long term gain.

    They guys we lost might have been better when they were good footy players but all of them (excluding Riv), for different reasons, had their best footy at the MFC behind them. You're living in the past, pants!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
