I'll try and make it, parking is a problem. But worth the effort.

We should all wear some identifying feature. Todd Viney bandana?

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but for those like me who can't make it, another way to get around the boys and give them a lift might be to use social media.

    A lot of players have Twitter accounts, so those of you who are on Twitter, lets flood their feed with messages of support for this weeks game and let them know their is still plenty of love out there, and maybe in a small way lift their confidence.

    Jerry Lundergard I like the way you are thinking. You might also be able to use the club's Facebook page to remind others that a special training 'event' is planned for Friday at Gosch's Paddock, 9:45am

    Just sent a msg to the MFC facebook page asking them to post something on their wall regarding training on Friday and letting them know we would be trying to get as many ppl as possible down to support the boys. Not sure if they'll put it up, but definitely worth a try.

    I thought Margaret Mead was the village Miss Marple lived in?

    Satyriconhome, I know you are having a bit of fun but I thought I would add an explanation anyhow...

    Margaret Mead was an American cultural anthropologist, who was frequently a featured writer and speaker in the mass media throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Margaret Mead was a woman who blended knowledge and action. Time, in fact, named her "Mother of the World" in 1969. Fearless in the face of controversy, Mead refused to temper the passions of her positions on the (social) issues of the time.

    Twitter and Facebook away my friends... harness the power of social media. This is the challenge, how many like-minded Demon supporters can we reach in 35 hours?

    9-45 am A majority members work. The good old days when training was at 5 - 6 pm and members used to call into training on their way work.

    Would be interesting to see what they do at training. What skills they be doing

    Hi Guys, Chookrat here. I will be there on Friday and am really looking forward to showing support and solidarity at our club during this challenging period. Right now I think the best thing we can do is show up in numbers at training and at games to let the players and coaches know we believe they can turn it around and will accept nothing less. Go Dees!!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
