Come on...

Get real...

When Carl Ditterich lead Melbourne to it's worst ever defeat...

he said "next week", and left the changerooms without another word...

the team that defeated us that day was Fitzroy, remember them?

Later, we were humiliated by another team called South Melbourne, remember them?

I have lots of mates who were Fitzroy and South Melbourne...

They have not really enjoyed the premiershps, because they have not owned them...

we were born or converted to the red and blue...

no way we can change our tribe...

Get real people...

Regards to all,

Rollo

    Nice one Rollo. You're so right about South and Fitzroy. I know this because I was a South supporter. My father used to take us to the Lake Oval rain, hail or shine. My cousins son now plays for Sydney and I follow his progress but, like many others, we felt betrayed and so left.

    "we felt betrayed and so left"

    Yep, same way I felt when some corpoate bastards swayed the vote to merge with hawthorn to create "deeks" or 'dawks"...

    We owe our life to the the guys at Hawthorn who refused the merge...

    Joe Gutnick stepped in to save us then,,,

    Time for us remaining members to weather the storm on our own this time, I guess,,,

    I've often wondered what might have happened if we'd won that round 22 game in 1996 vs the Hawks. Remembering that the Hawks would have missed the finals if they hadn't have won the game against us by 1pt.

    I know that they hadn't voted on the merger proposal yet and them making the finals might have given their voting members more hope to stay as a non merged club (you'd think so anyway)

    Had we already voted in favour of the merger before that game? 1 point might have changed history ... 1996 Season

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
