6 Years on and it's a cold winter again!

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.

 

I am definitely a winter person. I can hide my fat easier.

 

Snows good, already 15cm.

Gets me away from this nightmare we call a club and every footy season I take all of my footy frustrations out on the slopes.

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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
