No, I will not.

I didn't freak out when we lost to Hawthorn by 100 in round 1 2008.

I was annoyed at 186 but I hadn't lost hope.

I have completely lost all semblance of hope.

Things must change now. This is pathetic. If someone, ANYONE, doesn't offer their resignation soon, they will lose me as a supporter.

If something doesn't change, and I mean heads rolling, it won't matter because the club will go. It's officially Fitzroy time. Decisions made in the next few weeks are critical to the club's future.

I personally feel quite calm about it for reasons known on this site, but I still appreciate this situation is now at a critical stage.

The only thing worse than this mess is supporters telling other supporters to stop being angry at this mess.

I gave up being angry last week. I calmly told the boys they could go home if they wanted to and walked out at the 25 minute mark of the third

Today we had a good day with the boys and watched until about the 15 minute mark in the third. I calmly gave the remote to my wife and undertook my study. A little piece of me died last weekend.

This weekend that piece was full of something else

No more excuses for Neeld. Game plan has to go. It simply doesn't work.

Scrap players who aren't fit or hard or trying.

Build confidence. Keep the ball in the backline and share it around. Rotate players around the ground to develop their skills.

Play dean kent and fake an injury for Magner ffs!

...when all the knee-jerk hissy fits have finished and the pundits have stopped kicking the [censored] out of a club that's on the floor, what can be done from here? How do we bring confidence back into this playing group? How can we realistically turn this juggernaut around?

I can tell how NOT to turn it around. Do nothing.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
