I don't know whether to quote you the lifeline number or give you the hose for your car you pathetic excuse for a human being. Yeah, the hose.

Lifeline is the better option.

Think if how upset he will be if we start to win when we get the good half of our side back.

 

Mumford destroyed Spencer today. Not even close to a contest. Spencer was woeful.

I've never seen anything in Spencer to suggest he'll be any good at AFL level, and 2014 has strengthened that view.

can't understand why Spencer has been given 3 games, he was woeful first and second week as well

I agree its too late.....we are dead.

The supporters are walking Zombies, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

We had a preseason full of hope, only to have our hearts ripped and stomped upon once again.

I can understand one , two three, four or five poor years, but weve been trash for ten years now with no end in sight.

I hate the buggers now, because my son just hasnt had a chance to fall in love with footy.

this thread is [censored] depressing

 

funny my daughter still loves them , she's 10 years old and a gold member

Come on RTG, you have to be an example to our players. You must commit - throw in the masking tape as well.

My son still loved em at ten ......three years later he has turned off, boys can be pretty cruel at school.

The AFL should step in and allow Mr dank to do his very best.

 

I'm just about over the [censored] Spencer gets on this site. The guy is about 25, has overcome knee recos and I reckon played about 30 games. He is still on his L plates. Of course the big guns like Cox and Mummy will do him. But just watch him, he attacks the contest one out. He works hard, tackles and is aggressive. He doesn't throw in the towel. Just try getting smashed by those big blokes and having to front up contest after contest. FMD there are some armchair heroes on this site.

Because he did a better job in the ruck than Fitzaptrick would have.

Seriously I didn't think Spencer was so bad today all things considered. His job was to try and nullify Mumford, he had no chance of beating him. The last quarter was poor for centre clearances but overall I thought he did about as good as could be expected.

At least it was an improvement on last week. It's a pity it all fell in a heap in the last quarter. The win was there for the taking.

The turnovers are still killing us. That and the brain explosions once we get close to the forward arc. And the stopping and propping is driving me up the wall. Move the bloody ball on. You don't score when you give them ample opportunity to get back and set up.

Not sure where a win is going to come from this year. Can almost pencil in a 0 win season.

Spencer would only exist on Melbourne's list.

Terrible player.

I hope this is not a racist comment!!

Bloody spell correct.

I have fixed the typo thanks for pointing it out bbo

I have a 16yo son who stopped asking about the club ... Turned off, no interest.

He was 8 when he saw them play finals in 06....

Don't think he will buy a membership when he turns 18.... How many other young kids has the MFC burnt in the last 8 yrs??

I still do, why I live in hope....


From before the game the giants were pushing into our players and getting physical they showed intent.

Giants tackled and put in first and second efforts when too many of our players fell over or slipped just gave up, Howe was a prime exponent of this, in the last quarter he went up for a mark on the kickout and spilt the ball, he stayed on the ground and got up slowly while the giant player fumbled the ball, then finally kicked it into towards goals with no pressure from howe. No second efforts from him and several times punching the ball away over the line when he was the only player going for it.

Spencer seemed to try, but lacks the skill, just tries to get the hit out to his feet, so even when he wins a hitout its usually it can go to anyone. He was physically out muscled by mummys boy.. To be fair he was thrown around like a rag doll at times and did not get any holding man decisions. Until he can actually hit out to advantage he is a liability, put in a taller midfield and everyone rove to the opposition ruck man.

Evans disposal was woeful, Terlich worse still... Grimes was noticeable by his absence.

Watts, lazy does not commit to tackling, a few times he got goals after he spilt the ball and then the opposition players fumbled resulting in more of an accidental possession than a go and get it type, he needs to go in and get the ball. and he needs to tackle.

Too many players pulled out of contests.

it the giants had kicked straight this would have been a massacre instead of just a very embarrassing loss to probably the 2nd worst team in the competition at this moment.

it saddens my heart as a demon supporter to see such weak hearted efforts by so many players.

At least now we know it's not the coach, the CEO or the Board. It's the useless players. Perhaps Neeld and poor Dean Bailey were (very) hard done by.

Would be good if he could occasionally take a mark or kick a goal

[censored] weak shot Chook. How well do you reckon most blokes would go after Cox or Mummy smashed into you in a contest? Spencer has a long way to go - no doubt - but he doesn't deserve the rubbish he receives.

BTW, Liked your post but I'm not so confidant about the Carlton game.

Have a look at carton play the bombers I'm not so sure we won't actually.

Also I am surprised at the amount of negativity about today's game.

Agree we turned it over too much but it was a big improvement on last wk.

They were.

CS was in charge of it all.

I hate the buggers now, because my son just hasnt had a chance to fall in love with footy.

The reason we have had so many years being down is because we well and truly fooked up the rebuild, 2010 we had the right blend and from there we decided to off load older players when the younger players weren't ready to carry us through. CS & CC created drama amongst the playing group and we have been found wanting in leadership. The way I see it we started the rebuild again last season and are 1 year into it.

I see us as being comparable with Richmond 2010 but we really have to get the rebuild right, I don't think we can afford any longer to draft the player who will be a gun in 3/4 years, we need to draft the ready now or trade early picks for 2 ready to go players because we need to be competitive and start showing improvement. I have actually given up on ever seeing us win a flag, I actually just want to see a season where we don't get belted regularly and go into 6-10 games with a chance of winning

 

I must say that sitting here in Rome and reading everybody's comments on the Demons (& the Scorpions) makes me somewhat relaxed that l will be overseas for 8-9 weeks this footy season. And to think that l was actually excited over the Christmas New Year with the prospect of Misson managing Clark, Dawes and Hogan as an enviable forwardline!

Mate!!! Try and extend your stay for about 22 weeks.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
