Fcuk me my five year old is counting down the days to going to see the Dees against Freo in two weeks, poor kid at least I can have a few beers & laugh. I will take small positives whilst watching a kid develop or someone getting on top of their direct opponent and my boy will just be wanting to wave his Dees flag!

Mate i feel sorry for your kid already. Such a sad state of affairs. I wont be surprised if 186 gets eclipsed this yr. I have a 2 yr old daughter and i bought her a guernsey but I have to say it feels cruel encouraging her to barrack for the dees. But then if we all had that attitude i suppose the club would definately be doomed then.

I am genuinely scared about what lays ahead. This cant be good for ones health!!!

My eldest son is now 21. As a little tacker we bought him a guernsey and he wanted Jeff Farmers number on it. Then Wiz left and we had Woey's number put on his back. When he left I said this is a bad pattern - FCS don't put David Neitz's number on your back.

He was with me at the 2000 elimination final win over the Blues, which in hindsight was probably the last great highlight for this club. Now I look at the last 15 or so years of his life and think - poor b*****d, what have I done to him.

MFC - take note of this. I don't know how much longer I will stick with it but you will be losing your future supporters big time.

Pathetic bunch of whingers on this forum. I'm as angry and frustrated as the next person however the constant whining and overall pathericness of people's posts on here is getting very long in the tooth. We are all over the MFC's poor form and have been putting up with sub-standard football for years. We WILL get out of this mess.

Yeah, my 11 year old is teaching me a few lessons... I tend to sit in front of the TV throwing my hands up in the air whining about our inability to stay with the opponent, the fact that they allow the man too much latitude, the fact they don't seem to be able to lay a tackle below the shoulders, and finally when in exasperation I say that I'm through with the club, he will tell me I'm weak and that they are at least out there doing it while I'm just sitting around complaining... he reminds me that in the end it really is just a game and he is teaching me that I shouldn't throw the towel in. I would have thought most kids his age would just move on to a more successful club to follow, but he is a true supporter who is happy to be in it for the long haul... I have nothing but admiration for him.

Is he interested in a senior coaching position?

As a coach myself, you only have to attend one clinic of 50+ kids to see that future support is dwindling. There'd be 3 or 4 MFC jumpers tops out of 50 or 60 kids at those things. Success will bring new supporters, but it has to be the ultimate success. We don't look like achieving that this decade.

Looking ahead - Richmond, Freo (away), Hawthorn, Collingwood - and I thought we had just hit rock bottom - perhaps not. Then again, I'll be there this week - Give us something boys, please !

Hawthorn will quite possibly be an absolute massacre. I am really dreading it

They will be fine with that, us Irish have attended many Football competitions around the world with no hope of winning it but the drink and party (craic) is something you can't describe. A win is a bonus. I was at the 1994 World Cup and attended the game in New York where we beat Italy, we were drinking in a bar after the game and the place was full of Paddy's. The bar staff could not keep up with the crowd, two Irish fellas jumped the bar and asked the bar man how much he charged for beers, when he told them they started serving and all drinks were paid for and the money put in an ice bucket at the end of the bar. Great night had by all

At the game yesterday there was a kid, no older than about five years old standing up near me talking to himself telling Melbourne to kick more goals.

Of course! It's so obvious!

Give that kid a job now!

My Collingwood supporter husband is hosting a box on Queens Birthday with 12 of his Collingwood loving mates, two relatives coming along for a free feed, myself and my son who is a North supporter. God help me!!

I might have to take up drinking....

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
