Excuses

A loss to GWS. One where the team 'brought intensity and effort' but failed to execute, apparently.

The year 2013 is one of excuses. No accountability. Blame everyone and everything.

If you were given the money these guys are getting and were as bad, you would be terminated. And half the list should be.

Anyway - the result on Saturday will be the basis for more 'excuses':

For the team to lose the rest, without even a whimper. Its now OK to be the worst team in the comp.

For supporters to not go to another game

For members to officially decide that enough is enough, and to not renew next year.

For sponsors to decide we are not worth the effort

For free agents to say 'No thanks'

TIme for this rabble to stop making excuses and start being accountable. Time to be honest and communicate clearly. Time to cut out the cancer that seems to sit at the heart of the club, making it such a perennial underachiever.

We have very little of the season left. Please don't make excuses. Try something different. For god's sake, show something - that you will fight and are worth fighting for.

    Excuses can get stuffed from my POV. Until this club and players show some ticker like EVERY OTHER AFL club does. I will not attend as life is too short to waste time.

    I will buy a full membership for 2014 because i wish to support Peter Jackson in the monumental task ahead of him.

    He must employ and trust people who have a similiar strength of character he shows. PJ please do not trade Watts for Yarran. Yarran is a worse soft [censored] than Watts.

    Watts can be saved with the right coaches

    No. Just a sentence. Important though.

    I watched Yarran last night. He is not a player we need. We already have had Col for 10 seasons.

    Apparently a horrible virus went through the club on Thursday night. 8 blokes were spewing before the game.

    How's that?

    More supporters were spewing after the Game!

    No more excuses please. Let's see some action. The season is dead and buried. We need to see some positive moves from the club soon to generate even the slimmest ray of hope for 2014. Without that, membership, sponsorship and other corporate support will hit an all time low. At this point, you can understand players resisting signing. We have no president, coach and head of football. And the one person who handles himself with any sense of professionalism, Peter Jackson is a temporary appointment. A complete and utter mess.

    But the weather was bad and the opposition played too hard for us.

    You can't expect the MFC to win as it not in the players contract to play under such conditions.

    We're crap. Is that an excuse or a reason? I can no longer tell the difference after all these years on Demonland.

    Excuses are reasons that no-one asked you to give them.

    "Why are you fat?"

    "I can't control myself around food."

    That's a reason.

    "Don't judge me because I'm fat. I just can't control myself around food."

    That's an excuse.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
