There ain't a whole lot they can say that hasn't been said over the last six years unfortunately. But as they can't make their actions on the field talk either there is nothing really can be done for us fans except wallowing in our own bitterness and wondering why the club tortures us so.

Then it's on to next week - I see my feelings rise to a peak on Saturday arvo and I already know I'll be full of unfounded optimism for the Bombers game. Next thing I know I'll wake up in a gutter somewhere on Sunday morning asking where the hell I am but knowing what happened the night before was what I knew deep down was always going to happen.

Just an extract from my diary, the life of a demon supporter. Depressing really.

Everyone needs to move on.....This is round 1 not round 22. Oh sure they were woeful. You can wallow yourself in self pity or concentrate to rectify a pitiful performance next week. My support is for Mark Neeld and the players atleast till the end of the year. Make an assessment then where they are at, not over 1 game.

Bent leith, I appreciate your sentiment but you also need to understand that people are frustrated at the moment and can't see a way forward. This is exacerbated when you consider many of us thought a corner had been turned.

End of the year? You're kidding mate. A year of performances like that and the club will have 15,000 members and play to empty stadiums in 2014.

Said it a million times. It's not 1 game. It's now been 23 games.

Understand the frustration, but really, what do you want them to say?

'Look, we're all useless AFL footballers, and we're wondering whether Neeldy even knows what the f**k he's doing'. Sure.

Who cares what they say? They can say whatever they want, provided they try on Saturday.

Trouble is it ain't one game. Its 7 years.

We havent won in rd 1 since 2005 and 3 of the last 4 years we have been flogged.

Its a broken record. And we are over it.

As a Melbourne member for many years, I have finally found a voice in response to the game yesterday.

That was undeniably the most shattering football experience that I have encountered over the many years that I have been to the footy and followed this once great club.

It seems by the response of both the head coach and his players, that no one knows the reason nor the answer to our pathetic performance.

The rot has been forming for a while now. It is my opinion that the treatment of a great leader in junior McDonald was the real beginning of the end. The man was a true leader who led by example each and every time he represented this club. His treatment, at the end of his career was unacceptable. It left a gaping hole that has not been filled.

The club has no real leadership, no one of the ilk of Nietz or junior. It's only round one but if the performances of Byrnes And Rodan are anything to go by the team is in real trouble.they both appeared to be happy with just going through the motions. Not good enough! The glimpse of Ny real leadership came in the guise of Mitch Clarke and already, J. Viney. He will be great, but he is still a Kid.

Where to from now. Will a better performance next week really achieve anything?! The answer is of course, no.

This club is in dire straights. We all want to watch a contest week in week out. It appears that, yet again, this will be a hit and miss affair.

Any way you look at it, this is unnacceptable. I really thought that I would never ever say this, but I am afraid that I will not renew my membership for the first time in many years as a consequence of the players total lack of commitment to its club and its members, the lack of any real integrity and leadership by its coaches and the CEO.

At some point in time you have take some sort of stand. It seems my time is now.

(re)Watching AFL 360. Both of them just drilled Melbourne. Gerard has put all the pressure on Cameron Schwab.

There is a virus, and we need to quarantine in the club. simple.

Regardless of what people think about Cameron Schwab, he has nothing to do with Saturday's performance. Does 360 also have an anti-Schwab agenda?

They were arguing about who takes responsibility. They said, that you cannot sack the coach first. The CEO and President need to go first.

What a load of rubbish. If we sack them we may still have a bad coach.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
