I am surprised Saty hasn't come on yet to confirm that we are all bad supporters (except for him, he is the greatest supporter ever).

    I am an extremely passion Dees supporter

    We have not won at Etihad in donkeys years

    Brisbane are at $2.12 to beat Melbourne

    I am a gambling man

    I just put $100 on Brisbane to beat Melbourne at $2.12 to pay out $212

    If we lose, I win $112

    If we win, I will be overjoyed at breaking our Etihad hoo-doo that I will not care about the $100

    Am I a bad supporter?

    (Have you ever done something similar?)

    Dont think you are a bad supporter.

    But just to make sure,send me 1,000 dollars and i will guarantee you will be always respected in the DEE community.

    You're not a bad supporter. But you may very well be a bad gambler. Not because you might win your bet, but (Warning: moralistic advice follows) gambling should always be dispassionate. Once you allow passion to influence your gambling decisions, you reduce your ability to make sound betting decisions.

    Which is why betting on Melbourne when it plays Collingwood will always give you better odds than the game deserves as the bookies lay off the Magpies. Pity Collingwood supporters actually don't have real money - then Melbourne's odds would be even longer.

    "sound betting decisions" hmmmm now that is an oxymoron

    Nothing bad about that.

    I agree re the odds so you have made a good financial decsion based on the facts we know now.

    And as you are prepared to lose and be happy the Dees won (if that happens) makes you a very good supporter.

    I'd rather sit it out than have a collect against the boys. I couldn't enjoy a $115 collect knowing it had come at the cost of a Demon loss.

    Just give him a few weeks of Saty, Stuie, Ben Hur (where is he BTW?) and the assorted villains of Demonland BBO and he will learn. I used to come on here with pure motives as well you know.

    if only Frawley was as passionate as you... I would be more than happy to collect knowing the boys lost, I'm just not into gambling...

    Congrats on the collect - a smart financial decision.

    You probably feel awful like I and no doubt many other fair dinkum Demons fans do - but at least you have got something out of the wreck. All I have got is the sickest feeling in my stomach - no doubt plenty of others feel the same.

    Yep you are probably spot on "Bitter but optimistic". After today I want to smash everything in sight.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
