We've won one game. Lost to the two teams considered to be as low as us, and been smashed by a decent team by 93 points.

Can't help but think we're getting too ahead of ourselves with the amount of memes etc kicking around. Gives me a foreboding feeling...

I agree regarding "getting ahead of ourselves".

But the joke is about Carlton, not us, and if we were only to beat one team this year I'd have chosen Carlton.

What, that we might lose again?

Geez, how about enjoying the win?!

Agreed. I even said something similar during the week on facebook. It was along the lines of "Please MFC, if you give me a win over Carlton this week, I promise not to ask for anything else".

I am enjoying the win. Just find it strange how quick we are to make fun of another team when we haven't been exactly setting the world on fire. The media is giving enough focus to Carlton instead of us, thought we'd be more interested in the Dees.

Sure we may be getting ahead of ourselves, but please allow a little joy: it has been a very long time between drinks (other than those imbibed to drown sorrows).

Like I said, let's enjoy it and focus on ourselves. We are nowhere near the stage where we should be dishing it up to other teams.

Nothing wrong with a bit of confidence and perhaps a bit of arrogance; the top teams have it in spades and that's why they are the top teams. If we don't think we can win, we won't, if the players go in to the next game thinking this win was a fluke, they are beaten before the siren sounds for the start of the game.

We behave like losers at Melbourne and that can be self fulfilling.

Disagree. They're not top teams because of they are arrogant, they are arrogant because they've earned the right by being a top team.

Hell yeah Stuie. I'm with you. After all, we've got a priority pick to nurture, maybe even picks 1, 2 and 3. Anyone who puts up memes or giffs on this site is a bum, eh. You'd never do that, after all. They have no respect for our reputation as the AFL's pity club.

Yeah, nah. Winners are grinners, and losers can suck it up.

Putting up memes and gifs will change the world one day.

Stuie and Fl.og will be seen as visionaries.

Waste of a line Biff - looks like Stuie's [censored] off for the night. And ... as for Fl og, who obviously can't write our language , with a bit of luck .... well what usually happens to "visionaries" around Easter ? You know, the walk up the hill carrying serious lumber. If the little bastard squirms too much they could forget the feet and ankles stuff and just drive the nail through his tiny ticker. Vampire style.

No chance of a resurrection.

Some men see things in pictures.

They are what we call Herald-Sun readers.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    Captain Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen, make up the Top 5. Your votes for the win against the Eagles. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
