Yes another depressing thread.

Just saw Hawthorn's Shoenmakers affect a great defensive spoil against the cats, the huge crowd erupted. Young kid, high draft pick, being worth it. The side up and about and looking the goods again. Plenty of enthusiastic fellow supporters around you. Down the other end, the poster boy of the AFL is just doing what he does, which is consistently kick arse in a very entertaining capacity, while the country watches, and you gain more support and more money. These moments are NEVER available to you as a Melbourne supporter. Yesterday was a HORRIBLE experience, an actual NEGATIVE experience that I am still feeling the brunt of, that is not what supporting an AFL club is supposed to be about. None of us can be accused of being soft, we have been sticking at it year after year and have gotten nothing but anger, shame, despair, embarassment and humiliation for our persistence. So sick of it.

    Can't argue with any of that.

    Just made a similar observation in another thread. Can't even enjoy this, just thinking about the chasm between these teams and ours. I hate supporting this club some days. Most days.

    Watching Hawks vs Geelong makes me more pi55ed off about the MFC. Both teams having a dip and playing their guts out. I would spit venom at anyone who hang sh!t on me and my club. I thought 2012 was the year of the cull. I thought this year was the beginning of the re birth. Nope. Wrong. Every year is the same. We seem to be a giant sh!tball rolling down a hill collecting more sh!t on the way.

    My lovely fiancé is concerned as I was deathly silent during the game yesterday but yelling loudly at this game taking my unhappiness out that we are still in Kosiosko car park NO WHERE NEAR BASE CAMP OF THE BIG FING MOUNTAIN!

    Hahahaha, hilarious.

    Politically incorrect, I know - but we're the equivelant of the AFL's fat kid that everyone makes fun of.

    Wtf Hawthorn. 30 points up at one stage, now 21 down.

    I reckon they're gone - psychologically damaged.

    One flag in 5 years with this list.

    The pressure on them must be enormous!

    I wouldn't be writing them off, after just one game against Geelong. I'd agree, though, that if they can't get a flag this year, or next, and they start to wane, then that will be a fail for them. They were lucky to win it in 2008 anyway.

    Imagine beating Hawthorn 10 times in a row.....

    I'm getting a stiffy....10 times!!!

    Imagine just not losing 10 in half a season.........

    Rivers was grinning ear to ear. Good on him. All the other cats players looked as if it was business as usual. This is the problem with the MFC. I'm sure this has happened to everyone as it does me when ex co workers ring me up saying they are happy or un happy at their new workplace. Imagine if Nathan Jones and Rivers catch up for a coffee. Do you think RIvers will tell Jones to stick fat and she'll be right? Or do you think Rivers will tell Nathan to abandon the rabble and get some success that is deserved?

    Geeze Rivers must be regretting jumping ship I recon..,

    Yep, really suffering. Poor guy.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
