How low can you go?

Featured Replies

Posted

I can't remember feeling this low as a supporter of this footy club. My friends marvel at my resilience and ability to bounce back and always be talking about next week, next year or the next six foot recruit from Eaglehawk. Put simply, I'm struggling to see a way out and in all my years following this team, I've always hung on to more than just blind optimism and irrational hope. I've always penned my MFC premiership team (in puzzle-like fashion) with a label some 4 - 6 years in the future. My friends have stopped abusing me, my students pity me and my family probably think twice before calling me. We have surely hit rock bottom. I hate self-pity and often have a crack at other Dees supporters for giving in to the losing culture and exposing the very obvious chip on their shoulder. Now it's time for my self-indulgence.

I give you the Goodvibes Graph of Faith/Hope. It's clear proof. We've never been lower.

We can go lower and you'll come with us and then we'll lift like the proverbial phoenix

 

Love a good graph. But what on earth were you doing in 1977 to come up with a 100% hope fest?


listerning to the Ox on Sen earlyer he was like all of us gutterd and said we are a bees diafram away from how fitzroy were when they got the chop. The only thing saving us is the tv rights so we need to change things fast btw a shiver went down my spine when i herd this. Someone must step up and take on the top job.

I was 3. My daughter's 3 right now and sings the Dees song every day and was singing it at the end of the game yesterday. I'm guessing I was the same back then.

Trust me, this is a very carefully considered graph. :lol:

Know the feeling Vibes. I don't get hassled by anyone being a Demon anymore.

Stay thecourse

One of my best mates is a filth supporter and he texted me at halftime against GC to rub it in. He's a right [censored], but he's one of my barometers. Once HE gives me pity, we're officially done. While he's still giving me grief, there's hope.

 

I'll be at my lowest if we ever go!

Otherwise, there's always hope.

The job isn't impossible, just needs smart decisions made on a consistent basis.


today i got told "dont worry, essendon got thrashed too".

i told her to shove it square up her arse

Effing lol

I arrived at work this morning to find one of my colleagues hitting play on the Gold Coasts club song as I entered the office.

Low, very low is how I felt.

Still managed to PMSL though.

i still get the abusive texts, especially now that the Eagles have won a couple of games in a row. I enjoy the banter though and they know it. Here are a few from Sunday;

"hahaha Sylvia you dirty #$*%, you are pathetic just like the excuse for a football club that you play for"

"If i went for a team that lost to Gold Coast by 10 goals i would top myself"

"Hobart Demons?!"

"hahahahahaahaha is Jack Watts going to be made captain next week?! Rubbish"

In all fairness when the eagles got the spoon i was relentless with my abuse!

If football was golf, we'd be winning every week..

New sport for Neeldy perhaps?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
