How does Peter Jackson convince the membership that our list is is worth defending?

How does Peter Jackson make money for the football club in 2014 and beyond if people will not go to watch the same old garbage.

These are very legitimate questions or those who do not want to bury their heads under beach sand.

    That is a pathetic number but not unexpected. Next year will be lucky to be 30000 - it all depends on who is the coach. Someone like Laidley would do nothing to attract members. Problem is - why would anyone want to coach us?

    Crowd at Etihad Stadium today - 16,959.

    Crowd at Metricon Stadium today - 19,460.

    MFC supporters hate Etihad, that's for sure.

    Give me one reason why I should ever go to watch this club play at Etihad

    I fixed your sentence.

    Luv ya work. Actually I used to go and watch at Etihad until this year. It is simply not worth the grief

    To be honest, I got to every MCG game I can. I'd go to Etihad if I thought we were half a chance of winning there, which won't be likely for a few years at least.

    I don't care where we play I'll watch if I think it's worth my time. If this game was at the G today I still wouldn't have gone.

    This list is a death sentence for any coach

    Apart from the new kids on the block, all the rest are just very unaccountable to themselves, to the club and the supporter base. I find it very very hard to see how this list can climb out of the bottom 4 until we have turned over another 15 odd players.

    The players are to blame for this performance but they keep serving it up too often. Cannot defend this mob anymore.

    This is why PJ is going so hard at an unenthusiastic Roos.

    We will have no members or sponsors if we don't get a respected coach with a proper vision.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
