Lose every home game in a season.

Last side to do this was Fitzroy in their dying days of 1995 when they could only beat St Kilda and Adelaide as away games.

WELL DONE DEES!!!

For the record our 4 wins have been against:

Carlton (MCG away game)

Adelaide (Adelaide Oval)

Richmond (MCG away game)

Essendon (MCG away game)

Interestingly, these are the results when we've worn our clash jumper this year:

St Kilda - 17 point loss

Carlton - 23 point win

Adelaide - 3 point win

Essendon - 1 point win

Port Adelaide - 3 point loss

MCG is our home ground and we won 3 games there so its an irrelevant stat

It's hardly an irrelevant fact that somebody paying to attend our 11 home matches would have witnessed a grand total of 0 wins for the season.

Do you reckon that somebody might think he had received value for his dollars and time, or that he might find something else to do next year?

Obviously we just need to wear our clash jumper every game next year and we'll play finals!

4 wins, 69%

Ongoing slide in form. Total incapacity to score. Breathtaking mental fragility.

Paul Roos is simply not earning his money.

There. I said it.

Given the task at hand, he probably deserves more. It is not Paul Roos that is not earning his money, but there are those recently departed from the club, that should pay some of theirs back.

It is important as memberships for future years can be made and lost on these home games. A 3 game member may upgrade if he or she can see a win or two when they go. I'm a redleg 11 game member and I went to stuff all home games this year because of terrible time slots and then got bored of seeing this rabble play. I'll downgrade to a 16 game open air membership next year as I assume most of our games will be on at 440 Sunday as we don't deserve to play at any other time.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
