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?

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
