    Watching this game with the gold coast is one of the more painful things i have ever done, it raises a very serious question

    what can we do to get out of this hole? if there is anything.

    We needed to have an experienced hand on the wheel back in 2008, (preferably back in 2006) & before that we had a chance to get an out of coaching Leigh Matthews back in 1998 !

    We need a Coach who really understands a "Clubs" weaknesses & well address them as well as the players.

    We missed Matthews in 1997/8, & we missed Sheedy in 2006-2008... 'We', could have had Sheeds for 4 Yrs to sort out the Club & its character flaws, before he was needed up in GWS...

    ...we would have been right for a new coach, after Sheeds sorted things out.

    .... Stop getting Admin's & Board members from within the Northern Stands. they couldn't run the Chelsea 3rds. let them concentrate on business...

    And let Footy People run the Melbourne Demons Footy Club, with help from some business acumen.

    The bottom of the ladder after GWS thrash us.

    The bottom of the membership ladder when under 20000 rejoin next year - unless drastic changes take place.

    The Northern Territory after the MCC kick us out for embarassing them.

    IF, they chuck out the Prima Donna soft culture of the decades, & build a Training/Social Hub, I will be the first Back on, & I will make a donation as well..

    If they stay the way they've been for the last 20 Yrs since 1992, I won't bother with footy again.

    We changed the club back in 1981 - 1987.... that lasted til 1992.

    From there it slowly withered away, with players allowed to get aHead of themselves,,,, & so do the administrators, & boards.. get them all away from the Northern stand. & let the club get its toes back into the Earth again... back down to earth, & we'll keep our kids heads right.

    ... we should only play our Home games @ the 'G'...

    I was thinking earlier that just as there is the perfect murder, from 2006 onwards, it has been the perfect destruction of a football club.

    Every move, perfectly executed.

    From here, keep buying your membership(s) and turn up to games if you are willing to accept the team won't win, and you'll be lucky to get a quarter's worth of competitive effort.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
