Great atmosphere at training this morning, but it would be even better if we could provide another morale-boosting attendance at the game tomorrow.

The boys loved us being there, it got them up and about. Lets do it again against the Eagles tomorrow.

Get around the guys, show everyone that our football club won't just roll over.

Go Dees

    great news, i only hit city for 7 games per year but im started to get excted enough to stop listening on th radio while fishing and get city more often just to be around dee supporters , so i can not be alone one out with cats and bomber fans giving it to me. we need to stick and show strength right now, maybe being at training and showing the spirit is the start we need

    Training was great, Im pumped for the WCE game now

    So good to hear training was such a success with the turn out and support.

    Lets make sure we all get along tomorrow but lets remember to be realistic too.

    We are playing a real finals/premiership chance and will most likely lose the game. Thats a fact.

    It would be counter productive for us to then turn around and boo the players during/after the game etc. as we have our hopes up because of a resurgence of supporter support.

    As long as they have a fair dinkum crack i'll be happy.

    I have heard multiple times from players that the supporters/crowd at games is a key motivator for them. I can understand that - imagine having 30,000 cheering you after a goal/good play (it really would make you dig that little deeper).

    I think if we can back up the attendance from training it will be a real motivator for the players. I will be there and if the players show commitment and desire I will be clapping them of the ground no matter what the result. The supporters have shown that they bleed red and blue it is now the time for the players to show it!

    i dont think losing is good at all. Believe me.

    But in a side that doesn't know how to win, and is learning how, then you need to support the steps in the process of them learning.

    I'm not saying i'll be happy if they lose, i'm saying i won't be booing them.

    But lets be realistic here, we are playing West Coast a genuine Premiership/Finals contender and we are woeful at the moment. It is highly unlikely we will win, but we can still make progress!

    This week i want relentless effort and for them to have a damn crack.. I'll applaud if i get it.

    Next week i want relentless effort and something else. I'll applaud if i get it.

    The week after i want relentless effort...etc. etc.

    You really don't read or comprehend posts do you, nobody is happy iwth losing, keep repeating that to yourself, while you flagellate, the poster is being realistic.......so you expect the team, taking into account where it is at the moment, to come out and beat West Coast by 100 points........yes that would be great and by some miracle it may happen......but realistically not

    • 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.
