I'm surprised this hasn't got more attention:

We didn't see it coming.

What exactly did they not see coming? An AFL-level game? Newsflash, gents: YOU'RE PLAYING IN THE AFL.

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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
