Damming evidence to the organisation...

The Club has nowhere to hide...start talking real to the members.

No more happy spin....None.

Don't think this has to come from the coach, he's only been there a year and the ship was already in a sorry state before he took the helm, something should be coming from the board or administration. Would genuinely like to know what's gone so horribly wrong.

So would i mate. And if we keep hammering we the members will find out.

And no i don't blame the coaches, this is a long term wound.

Fitzroy-esque.

Fitzroy's last few years were really bad but there have been far worse teams over longer periods. If I remember correctly Fitzroy flogged us by 10 goals in the last round of 1993. They were OK in the early part of the decade. And it was hardly poor drafting that hurt them: they were just not financially viable as a team. What's Melbourne's excuse? Fitzroy was a victim of league politics. Melbourne is a victim of its own ineptness.

Carlton was very, very bad for periods in the 00s.

Richmond has been bad in large periods since the early '90s.

Melbourne's 2010 and 2011, excluding 186, were OK, nothing more.

If anything the last few years have been Richmond-esque: fall to the bottom, show a glimmer of hope, and then fall back down again.

Agree. From round 2 2010 (loss to Collingwood by 1 pt) to round 17 2011 (win over Port in Darwin) we were actually a half decent side. Remember we were in the 8 after beating Richmond in round 15 2011.

Then the wheels have totally fallen off since 186 and we haven't recovered.

Something started to go seriously wrong in about August 2010 The club was beginning to stand, but something or someones went horribly wrong in that period, and whatever it is is still within the walls.

The entie club is effected. It has to be.

I have never seen such a half effort by an entire team as i saw last sunday bar 3-4 players.

I still do not understand the psyche of it

It gets worse when you consider that we won four games in 2007 [the year we allegedly tanked] and only a solitary game last year [when we didn't tank]!

Sorry - is this news to some of you??

Where the hell have you been the last 6 years?!??

1 more loss is only that - 1 loss.

Where was this angst and calling for heads last season?

NB. It's just as stupid to do it now...

[censored] poor attitude from you. You just expect everyone to keep sucking mediocrity up. If there are fools around here you must be the biggest of the lot.

1 more loss & then just 1 more....It's only one more...

Just another season...

Your attitude is part of the cancer Jens.

It might be just my memory (I was pretty young) but my recollection of the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s is that we were worse then than any time in the last 6 years. The data may not stack up that way - but I know that is how I felt during that long, dark, lean period.

Old Dee, WJ or anyone else who is 55+, what are your recollections?

Disagree.we we a poor side then but far more competative. More like declining rather than permanent bottom feeders that we are now. Edited by Muvver Jones

FFS.

We're 1 single game into this season.

Ok then, what did you expect to see this season?

And do you think it's acceptable to sack a coach after 1 season & 1 game?

i will not accept what i saw last sunday.

STOP MAKING EXCUSES MAN.

We have so many soft [censored] supporters now.

I don't blame them...It's just sad.

Still not a word from the Ivory Tower....

If you want to understand the psyche of it ... read Jens Lehmann's posts.

The next month is as important as any in our history.

If we continue on the same path, we will be in dire straights as crowds will drop dramatically. Neeld and his players have t ofind something. Show some real spirit and the supporters will keep supporting.

I haven't made any excuses.

I've asked pertinent questions.

Because I don't believe in action for the sake of taking action.

Action without forethought.

But support for that is prevalent at this point in time.

But you are infering that this situation has only just started.

It has been in the shadows for years.

Last sunday was the rising of the members finally.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    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
