My usual group of six have pulled out of today, and every Demons supporter I speak to reckon they're not going.. Sounds like I'll be one of about 1000 demons at the 'G.

Oh well, I guess i'll have to make up the missing noise, bring it on.

Tigers by 42 points

Solid effort from an ordinary team playing without Clark, Watts, Blease and Grimes, who are all either injured or out of form or both.

I'd rather win or get absolutely smashed today... Just can't handle another 30-50 point loss and being told we were competitive/inexperienced and did well in some obscure stat made up purely for the presser... Something needs to change.

Enjoy the beautiful weather those who are going.

I am sitting this one out for a family cause but I will be home on time to watch the inevitable destruction.

If we win, then clearly I am the problem and I vow to never attend another game under Neeld again... So roughly until the end of the year.

I really haven't felt like going all week and only decided to go yesterday. Why am I going? Because thats what you do. There are a variety of reasons why people cant go but if you can its hard to have a go at the effort of players if you refuse to put in effort yourself to show them support. One day this will all turn and I refuse to be seen as someone who stopped through the hard times to then return when we start improving.

Go Dees. Give'm hell.

Richmond will be trying to win this game in the first quarter. If they kick 5 quick goals in the first 15 min or so heads will drop and it's over. If we are any shot we have to scrap out a first quarter win or at least be within a kick

How to stop the 15 goal to nothing third quarter though I don't know I'll pass that to someone else...

Why do I still have the anticipation of "maybe we're a chance" when we are not. All week I have no illusions of success but the hope there will be some glacial movement forward as a team but game day the inner nutter Melbourne fan comes out and says we can win this!!!!

Another 100 point loss Mark and you are out, sorry mate.

At this point I'm thinking nothing short of a 200 point loss to GWS would get Neeld sacked.

Honestly I see this one being about a 40-50 point loss and Neeld buying himself some time whilst talking up some stats that aren't the scoreboard.

I've stopped hoping for wins, I just want the players to come off the ground and be able to look at each other in the eyes and know they tried their best.

It's a simple request that seems to be happening very rarely.

thats only because the President and the Board need to get out as well.

This whole club has disregarded winning at all levels.

Ever since Luke Ball sat under our nose and we didn't jump.

I also thought we should've taken Ball at pick 18.

The club had an opportunity to be ruthless (and could afford to with the luxury of 4 top 20 picks) but of course let Collingwood have their man.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
