RIP Melbourne Football Club

What'll hurt a whole lot more is not cutting the cancer out now before it becomes terminal.

All the answers to all of the questions you have is contained in that statement.

No, the answers aren't.

You implore others to not sign up for memberships and not turn up to the game.

Even if that contributes to the board, CEO and coach getting sacked, at what cost?

Surely there are better ways of obtaining that end, without damaging the club further than it needs to be.

The club is already close to being irrevocably damaged. You may not think it is. I do.

That's where our conversation ends Delta.

*Edit ... You just inspired a temporary profile pic change, Delta.

Hope you like it.

There are much better ways to bring on a revolution, that don't cripple the club further in the process.

Whilst I don't agree with your aim, it's your method that I'm really questioning.

And whether it will actually bring about what you claim to want.

RR - you can have your revolution and still support the club financially.

We don't have owners like in the US (thank god).

All we have is a normal administrative setup determined by an elected board of Demons who are there by the grace of God (The Members) and there own willingness to put aside time for the club.

The way I see it:

If you are correct, there'll be a convincing argument.

If you have a convincing argument, promote that and get that out to people.

If it's convincing, the majority should agree with you, and change will happen.

If its not convincing, it's probably because you're not right.

Resorting to telling people not to attend matches, not to buy memberships, and generally doing your best to spread despair through hyperbole, tells me you probably don't have the conviction that people will be convinced by your argument without that.

Pretty pictures though.

No arguments from me. I'm finished with the weak bastards.

You know it's a lie BBO. For starters, they'll tease you with a better performance against the w eagles...say, a 110 point loss.

Yep, it's the supporters' fault.

'I believe in neeld'

You tried endlessly to gai support in an effort to derail common sense. There were only a few of us that understood that we were being sold fools gold. Rangerover, you must accept some responsibility the position we are in because of the energy you gave the movement. If only the followers decided in majority to vote "no" to neeld, maybe we could have got rid of him in round 8 last year.

Rr, you have a short memory, and your reputation is shot.

Entitled to your opinion Delta.

Nice to have a forum where we can all express our views.

This club is a disgrace. It is bruise free football.

Last week I was disappointed with the showing against Port. Today I am, like another poster wrote, ashamed.

I vowed to stick through all this at the end of round 1, however, after tonight, I will be posting my membership & my sons membership back to the club & my son can pick his own team to follow when he feels like it.

I will always be a Demon, but I will not let my 3yo go through what all of us go through ever season.

RIP Melbourne Football Club

A parent has so much influence.

Persist with your kids as ugly as the club might get.

The future depends on it.

Range Rover is to blame for Neeld not being fired at the end of last year?

You certainly like to talk in absolutes. I blame RR for the current tensions in Korea as well.

I'm a militant on this thing Rpfc. What else can I say.

Do you really believe we can sustain 20 more weeks of this?

And the bonus is that by supporting the mighty Dees that time seems a hell of a lot longer.

What do you think will happen if there is another 3 or 4 months of this?

The AFL will take away our licence?

A caretaker will be installed, a challenge will be made to the board in September (this things take a while to organise), and new leadership will be brought in then.

If we spill it all now we will have a Acting President who isn't ready for it, a CEO from inside the club who isn't up to it, and four months of a caretaker coach - which is a lifetime.

You think we will be considered a joke if we continue like we have, I am telling you that the joke will be confirmed if we spill everyone right now.

Instability and disunity midseason with costly firings.

That isn't funny.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
