Ive been a Melbourne supporter all my Australian life. I cant see that ever changing short of the club folding and then id probably reduce footy to a very passing interest.

Ill probably even retain membership , though god knows why.

I was sorely tempted after last night to find a suitable box/chest and put everything Melbourne in it and put it away . I might still. Ive had a gutful. Last night was surreal . Sat with stepson (bomber) and watched a clinical disection. We laughed ,we joked but inside i was torn apart. How has it come to this. How ? Why ? No answers came forth.

I leave on Thursday for Kathmandu . I shall enjoy the trek. Ive trained hard.Ive dropped 8kg. I have given myself the best opportunity for success .

I thought the club had too. Its not working.

After Nepal ill convalescent in Dubai. Whilst experiencing the solitude of the desert sands I will attempt to ignore all things footy.This to enjoy the trip and to stay sane.

This club will do your head in...time and time again. I need space.

Good luck Dees

Good luck all

Hope an answer is found and way forward undertaken.

Im tired and need a break from this rubbish.

Ommmmmmmm !!!!!! :)

Enjoy Nepal BB. It will be the pefect tonic for all this rubbish.

I'm in, and truth be told, so is everyone on this website.

The reason we come on here, the reason we cry for sackings, the reason we whinge about beards, the reason we kick up a fuss about clash jumpers, is because we love this club.

With all the emotion, anger, disappointment, embarrassment, and frustration, a response of 'I'm done, no more for me' isn't exactly unreasonable. But in those people's hearts, they're not going anywhere, and deep down, they don't mean what they say (and yes, I'm aware that there will be people who say 'No, this time it's for real').

Eventually, whether it's next week, next year, or next decade, something good will happen to this club, and the lot of us will be the most chuffed supporters you've ever seen for sticking through hell.

For now, we're all still in.

I'm in.

the point of disagreement here for mine is you paint it as though this was all incidental and part of our success .

Problem is we have had NO success...not a skerrick !!

We suck. Not one of us deserves all of this perpetual pain of dissappoiintment.

Dont make it sound like a rite of passage in order to be a Dee . Its just what is...but its not right.

Huh? You've missed the point approximately 100%.

i'm in, being "out" wasn't even an option in my mind.

I'll never leave this club, we just need to fix the damn thing so i can start enjoying myself!

I learnt long ago, there was no tipping point for me.

Roost it, I'm chained to the seat.....and there's no key. If she's going down, I'm going with it.

After venting my spleen on the various forums since the Port Adelaide match and threatening to maybe hand in my membership, I have taken a deep breath and a step back, then after a little more consideration, have decided to stay with the club I have always loved.

No, I am not a happy member at the moment and No, I do not think the on and off field performances are any where near the required standard, but I feel that handing in my membership or abusing players etc., is NOT the answer for me at this point in time.

I think staying and continuing to support the club I love is the only path to continue following if I am to truly call myself a Dedicated , loyal member and supporter.

I have always stuck by the Dees through past adversities and although I feel the current situation is probably the worst I can remember, I will not turn my back on this club I have supported for over fifty years, My Father and Grandfather before me supported the MFC , albeit mostly in more successful times and I WANT to carry on the family legacy despite the hurt I am currently experiencing.

It would be so easy to turn my back on the terrible dilemna the MFC currently find itself in but I have NEVER been a person to "take the easy way out" and I am not going to start now.

I urge all those disgruntled and indeed ALL Dees Members to get behind the club, hold onto your memberships and try and weather this latest and possibly most difficult storm to hit our great club.

I have no idea how to fix the problem at this time as I suspect nobody else has, judging by the hundreds of various "suggestions" I have read on this site after the past two games, but I can only hope and pray that people more competent than I will get us back on track and very quickly.

We do NOT have a lot of time... Lets stop destructive criticism and start a positive campaign to repair the damage now.

GO DEES

The rumour was half the team has flu. I learnt that Mckenzie hadn't been well recently.

Way to marry them up with the revelation.

I feel sorry for my son. I encouraged him to support the Demons and I feel guilty that I have condemned him to the same purgatory that I have endured.

Cliches abound and as they say in the classics what doesnt kill you makes you stronger - from the hottest fires comes the strongest steel - when the going gets tough the tough get going and these are my principles and if you dont like them I have others.

I will keep being a member and I will go to the games that I can - what more can I do?

A bloke named Canute tried some tricky stuff with tides. Hope we're more successful than him.

Did they start shortening his name after that?

    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

    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
