Probably a bit dramatic today. Im still fuming but I cant walk away.

Apologies

Don't worry about it, we all knew you would be back.

Welcome back - we need to stick together now, if we are to ever improve

Real character shows through in the tough times. Far easier to be a Dons supporter. Soft pricks that they are. Let your mates know that there's a big difference between the club's players and a club

Think about what it's like to hear of Richmond supporters in the past tearing up their memberships, or more recently microwaving them.

I always thought the concept was laughable.

I'm not laughing now, but it brings some perspective.

Both to how they felt abou their club at the time, and to how overdramatic we are being about our current situation.

I love it.

You have me beaming.

We WILL get out of this.

This is REAL committment.

It'll be painful and longer than we'd like, but we'll get there.

And it'll be worth it.

A lot of supporters would be jumping off us after last night.

It's embarrassing to even say you support Melbourne now.

After the tanking saga and now this, I can only imagine how the players feel.

I can see our membership dropping sharply.

With the franchise sides coming in, it's easy for people to just jump [censored].

But, have faith, we have Viney, Hogan, Kent, Howe, Blease and a few good kids hopefully coming next year.

It can all change pretty easily, we just need the right board, coach to get the boys going.

I do understand people jumping off while Neeld is in charge though, but do get back on board when we get a decent coach.

Would be a shame to lose passionate supporters, we are all hurting and frustrated atm and embarrassed.

I'm angry enough to punch holes in walls during and after the game, but I'm actually proud to be a Melbourne supporter right now.

It hurts, and I hate it, but I'm tough enough to take it.

I'm not taking the easy way out.

My mates give me hell, but I'm copping it on the chin.

Our team is crap. So what?

I'm not some weak little princess that only supports their team when they're doing well.

I'M OUT TOO!!

OUT on the [censored] that is...drowning my sorrows after 7 nights of night shift and last nights debacle but...

I'll always stick by the Melbourne Football Club through thick and thin. 36 years of unfulfilled hope, 4 family memberships, constant flack from mates and plenty of disappointment...

Hurts like hell right now but one day the tide has to turn. I don't know what the answer is right now for the club but the answer for me right now is the amber ale!

Carn the DEE'S!!

Im with ya mate.

I am a very passionate Aussie Rules suppoter and I'm over going for a useless club which I was talked into going for as a kid.

From what I have heard from older suppoters, apart from the stint with Neil Danaher where we were up and down for 7 years and we were lucky to get into the 2000 grand final, we have been crap since the 60's

Nothing will change in the next 40 years.

I don't go for any club anymore.

I'm out.

Just be glad you don't support the saints or bulldogs.

'Attention seeking drama queen' status acknowledged.

Harden up Lucy.

He realised his error.

No need to clip him over the ears.

TBH, I am sure his Ess supporting mates would call him weak if he did renounce.

Edit: I meant 'he' realised his error, not 'I'. Sounded more arrogant than usual...

Well worthy of a clipping over the ears if posted in a public forum.

I copped plenty of filthy texts from Bummers supporters and some really got at me, didn't post about it on here though (until now I suppose).

Moral of the story? Move on, harden up.

When I was a young lad I went for the bombers, then one day my dad took me to the side and let me know that that I am related to the Cordner family and David is my cousin and pointed him out while he was playing when we were on Easter holidays I was about 10 years old. Since then I have switched to Melbourne. And to be honest I don't regret it one bit and not even 1% of me has ever felt like switching back.

All I got to say to people who make stupid threads like this is.. don't let the door hit you on the way out :)

My wife is an Essondon supportor and last year we had a bet who ever wins out of Melb and Ess has to take the other out to dinner well u guessed it I made her take to the most expensive restaraunt i could find.

IT'S ONLY A GAME :)

PEACE

    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
