Demons to go cap in hand to AFL

Featured Replies

50th on Sunday...Whilst at school kids laughed at me for being a Demon in the 70s.

Now they laugh in sympathy, & we are told to be patient.

Why do our players not seem to be up to AFL standard?

Why should we accept this season after season??????????????????????????????

Congratulations, yes mate it's time for change, where obviously in the hands of the AFL now, I personally believe that no one apart from Kennet has put there hand up for the job, all I want out of the MFC is to be able take my 8 year old boy to the footy without losing every single time, I don't want to win every time, but when I get off the train Punt Road I would like to think we're half a chance, the last 6 yrs has been utter garbage, every season you buy your membership and the seasons over in the first round, this current board offers no hope.
 

Happy to take as much money from the AFL as we can get, after their contribution to our financial position, in always giving us a totally unfinancial fixture.

PS. I concede our pathetic performances have not helped either.

PPS. Interesting post earlier, that because of our position, other club's revenue is also being affected. People not coming to Dees games from both clubs playing, because they don't expect a contest. To that end the other clubs want us to be helped and to be competitive, as it is better for everyone.

Which is why the AFL will not let us fold.

Happy Birthday for Sunday WYL I hope the club moves forward and make your 50's a lot more pleasant than they have your 40's


My view, is that things will change , led by Peter Jackson.

He will ensure, we have some new staff, who are ruthless about winning, and excellant at what they do.

However, it will take time, and money.

He will see the AFL with a plan, next week, they will hopefully accept it. Then things will start changing.

A number of our issues go back a few years , most important, being our list management.

This will take time to fix.

  • 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.
