No excuses.

We have a new coach, and one that doesnt accept 6 goal losses let alone 15 goal ones.

Peter Jackson is here now and he is getting the place in shape.

Whether you hated Neeld, Schwab, McLardy or anyone else it doesn't matter anymore. Thats ancient history.

The club has been bleeding financially and a lot of that is thanks to small crowds.

This week is a home game under lights at the G, 7.40 Saturday.

The boys are coming off a good showing where the result would have been only a few goals if not for cheap free kicks in front of goals to St Kilda.

Neil Craig had us playing a proper brand of footy, and for once we matched the opposition in disposals.

Jimmy Toumpas was very good and will just get better. Mitch Clisby was a revelation. Jack Watts is on the verge of a monster game. Could it be this week?

We Melbourne supporters must get to the MCG in droves to show Neil Craig, the players and the AFL that we mean business and we are ready to watch this club rise again.

This is a 50/50 game and the extra support will help the players, help the spirit of the club and help financially.

GET TO THE G THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AND OUTNUMBER THE DOGS SUPPORTERS 2-1!!! GO DEMONS!!!!!!

    Don't mean to be a negative nancy but its the night of the Wallabies and British Lions tour at Etihad... but I'm sure the AFL didn't realise that when they were sorting out the fixtures - like how they forgot to give us a Friday night game.

    I mean its a pretty spontaneous event, only once in every 12 years, and not really a big deal, just a sell out crowd of 55,000

    Ah, that's unfortunate. Will definitely have an impact on the crowd at our game, I'm sure.

    We're safe on that front. As if Melbourne supporters would go to Etihad.

    Mrs Frankie will be accompanying me, Frankie Junior and the two daughters - one of whom, I regret to say, goes for the Doggies. I can only put his down to a cosmic ray phenomenon - no family influences, nothing. Just decided she liked them when she was about 5, and stuck. All of us will be there for the women's game first.

    I will be there......

    As this seems like our most likely chance of a victory in Melbourne, perhaps the shock late inclusions of Clark, Grimes and Viney are necessary. We could drop them into the ground with a helicopter an hour before the bounce..... Clark wearing a sumo suit to prevent any further injuries, Grimes in a giant inflatable bubble and Viney sporting tissue boxes for footy boots.

    The corresponding game last year was the worst game of AFL I have ever seen from a skill perspective. I say 20,234

    • 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.

    • 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.
