As they say, The best time of the year for a Melbourne supporter is pre-season. Since 2007 we have waited in anticipation for improvement and a gradual climb back up the ladder. Hmmmm, dream on.

The reality is this is our 6th year heading into a miserable winter with no hope whatsoever of seeing any improvement and going backwards on the ladder. Re-build, re-build and no signs of improvement.

This club and those trusted with running it have failed all those who support it. Damn all of you for causing this mess.

I would be happy to sit in the rain and cold just to see a group play hard competitive football.

Oh well, there is always pre-season to look forward to for a dees supporter.

    Obviously never spent a cold winter's day at the old VFL park in Waverley. That said, my fondest memories are the come from behind win against the Weagles in 87 and the wonderful day we beat Carltank in the 88 prelim.

    I said it on another thread, but those Demon teams were not star studded, they just had a go for each other and their coach; Swooper Northey. Loved those cold days.

    I heard a talkback caller last night describe the MFC Board as "a bunch of maniacs who make losing an art form"

    I laughed because i couldn't disagree.

    The bloke was a Nought Melbourne supporter.

    He sure teed off on us, went for about 10 minutes!!

    I have noticed while baking on the beach, men find it difficult to hide their fat in summer... :blink:

    Can't have been worse than watching that smug [censored] David King on 360 last night revel in his own nostradamous like prediction 12 months ago that MFC were going nowhere fast under Neeld.

    He was pretty much bang on the money.

    I don't like this fast talking, self absorbed [censored] but he is RIGHT. It's nothing against Mark Neeld personally because he sounds like a decent bloke but as a senior coach he has lost the plot. It's just excruciating to watch his team trying to play football.

    He was spot on.

    King and McLure are spot on in regards to Neeld.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
