I remember back in the day not so long ago, when in life the chips were down and it was our beloved dees that would pick me up each week.. Now life is good its now these beloved dees bringing me and all of us down... I think like all of us passionate supporters the bombers game took the complete stuffing out of us and now going to the footy each week has just become and numbing experience..

People do question me y do i continue to go each week and go by myself most weeks, and i can say sitting in the afl members can get pretty lonely at times.. my answer to them is, that one day how ever far away it is, when we hold up that premiership cup, i will appreciate it that much more.. i think that should be enough for all u guys out there to keep turning up every week, were all in this together, no matter how numb, frustrated, sad there making u feel, ur fellow supporters around u r feeling exactly the same...

If thats not enough, we can trust for that one moment in the game no matter how far down we r, Howe will take that screamer and pick our sprits up...

i have my first born due around grand final day, i guess everyone can imagine the comments about being free that day i get and all the comments about it would be mean to make it go for the dees... i laugh it off, it will be a little demon no matter what....

I read most of the threads on here, its depressing but its what we all feel.. But this once proud club could be back on life support again, and all of Big Jims work was for nothing if we don't turn up each week.. the numbness i feel is the numbness of when someone close to you has a illness and not long left, for some who havent felt that, you need alittle bit of hope and i do believe we have hope (Hogan, Viney, Howe, JT, Jones) we just need to be the heart beat...

Sorry if this thread all is over the place, theres a thousand more thing i could have added, but that main point is were all feeling it, we just need to somehow stick in there...

    The board has a responsibility to future generations of Melbourne supporters. At the minute they have and continue to destroy the spirit of the lifeblood of this club. To them...It is your first responsibility to ensure the viable survival of this club for future generations.

    Now get on with it and get AFL help to secure a top notch coach.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
