    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
