If that is the case, they were as silly as we were. It's no coincidence that they're booty of ill gotten gains got them nothing in the end either.

So the the two biggest tankers have ended up with nine tenths of bugger all CBF

    Choke you owe me 2 minutes of my lunch break back...

    I was expecting an answer and all I got was that.

    Sorry mate.

    I'll do better next time.

    How bout a JW thread, or maybe Toumpas v Wines? When in doubt, always go with a classic.

    I feel much better now knowing that it is all my fault, I was thinking maybe it had something to do with lack of talent, poor development and drafting etc, but at least now I know the REAL reason.

    Also had Hawk and Magpie mates not wanting to win any more games in '04 & '05 (to get the PP's)

    Yes so can you bugger off I have been looking for the reason for the last fifty years pity you did not realise it earlier.

    Indeed. Carlton did it slightly better than us but in the end, it took them no further than second week of the finals.

    Besides the piece of asshattery mentioned earlier, you just need to look at the 'Do you care if we win the wooden spoon?' thread to see some baffling ways of thinking.

    But were they actively cheering for the opposition? There's a difference between being pragmatic and accepting what supposedly must be and taking active joy in your side losing which those blokes seemed to be doing after that Richmond loss.

    I will also challenge the assertion that Hawthorn tanked in 2004. I have said it multiple times on this forum but keep in mind that Peter Schwab predicted his team would win the flag that year. If they were tanking, Schwab didn't get the memo. They started the year full of hope and ended it playing the kids.

    North supporters handling out "you know why your clubs slop?" football analysis now as well are they? Excellent.


    Always nice to hear from the Kings of Mid-Table Mediocrity. Lets hope they don't get pants week one of the finals and supporters clap them off, eh?

    Yes but as usual they had skill when they did it, notice that word Macca.

    Not like the ham fisted amateur effort put by us and the Blues

    I could handle about five years of "Mid-Table Mediocrity" stinga.

    I could also handle beating that mediocre mob once every decade

    To be fair so could OD.

    Nothing I'd like ...nay, love more, than to sing the song 10.20pm saturday night. Doubt that will happen though.

    It all amounts to the same thing

    They tanked and their fans went along with it

    Tell your brother that we live and breath the nonsense he is casually mind humping.

    We know what is wrong with our club and our team and it is not how angry we don't get when the team plays poorly...

    Poor list. Terrible drafting over consecutive years from 1999-2004 and 2007-2011. Lack of development of any half decent talent we did get.

    Tell him he can keep his views if he goes and reads how we drafted in the last 15 years.

    Maybe then, he would have a greater appreciation for his brother and the rest of us resilient Demons.

    And we hold people accountable - we just do in the quiet, in the backrooms - we don't feel the need to gnash our teeth to 'impress' those around with 'look how angry I am.'

    We are quite good at eating our own - quietly.

    I have made these arguments many times.

    He still reckons it's because we're weak.

    He's not alone in his views either, I've heard it from others as well.

    I think you are being too dismissive on the first point and you didn't acknowledge the second.

    Again I would say that there is quite a difference in the attitude taken by the Hawks/Magpies and us and Carlton (if what you say is true).

    I can remember the day Jordan McMahon kicked that goal to sink us and thinking to myself that I was disappointed that we lost but at least there is a silver lining at the end of all this. I also thought that all this 'development' would be worth it in the end. Little did I know that some people were acting as though we had won the flag all ready and were actively rejoicing in our failure.

    I would hope that is the attitude most supporters would have.

    But it seems like we have run out of options, we have abused our entire list, our coaching staff, our executive, now it is time to turn on ourselves.

    On the contrary, the only thing separating this club from a slow and painful Fitzroy-like death is it's supporters. Tell your friend he's a moron.

    That bridge was also crossed a long time ago.

    Personally I think it's time we turned on the mascot. Get the auskickers off and bring on the halftime mascot beatdown.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
