Be careful sitting on the fence dc the splinters can be awful.

true od, but in this case i find it hard to get the balance between objectivity and subjectivity acceptable

    i think we should more correctly refer to it as "the abomination"

    and....any numbers concerned with mfc victories are so infinitesimally small as to be considered lacking in any significance

    Versus the Red and blue milestone that has been around our neck for fifty years dc.

    We will win no more than 6 -7 games next year and all will be in the New MFC colours.

    As an order of priorities the "old one " should be dispensed with before we worry about JW IMO

    In fact I think he maybe responsible!

    I had an interesting phone call this morning.

    Melbourne United Team rang me to ask if I was going to pay my membership for this season.

    When I said No that I have never been a member before they said but you were a member last year.

    To which I answered that I was a member of the TIGERS NBL team but as that entity no longer existed I could no longer be a member.

    And I had no intention of joining a new team, the Tigers no longer existed so my interest in the NBL had been extinguished.

    After a little bit of light banter the person admitted this was a common story.

    It will be interesting to see how this re branding of the Tigers goes.

    I suspect that they will struggle I have been a member/ supporter for 30 years but I have little interest.

    It ain't the Tigers!

    No bb

    first I am not as clever as you the MUT reference and

    I wanted to keep it fairly light as it is not the person who had to rang's decision

    They just get the crappy job of ring a Tiger members like me.

    A bit harsh imo. It's still the same club, same players, same people, and it's considerably different to what any potential change to MFC there would be. The Tigers' change was part of a broader problem for basketball and the NBL in this country, and tbh I think they were the only group prepared to make a hard decision. Tigers support and NBL support were dwindling. I was a Spectres, Giants, Titans, Magic fan and then turned off completely. The whole point is to "unite" everyone under the same banner, because having 2, 3, 4, 5 clubs in the city divided what is a pretty small support base interested in domestic professional leagues. The NBL and particularly the Tigers as one of the league's stalwarts need to make major changes.

    To be frank I think they expected people like yourself to drop off and people like myself to jump on board.

    Then the plan is working perfectly

    But one and one off not much of a gain IMO.

    The reason why I posted it is just to show what would happen to any side that changed significantly.

    If the MFC changed to the Tassie devils and where green and yellow it would be just that to me the Tassie Devils not The Melbourne Demons.

    My team has gone so have I.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
