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?

All human endeavour is basically killing time.

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.

    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

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
