Reasons why and why not to sign up in 2015

Mate I love some of your posts but....This constant MUST....MUST....Must do this and do that is getting a bit tiresome

Do you not think that the players are not trying?....Do you think that the footy Dept is not doing all it can to win games?

All these players, coaches, admin, bootstudders are human they have ups and down like all of us otherwise we may as well have robots out on the field. As you know all clubs have great games and very poor games (yes even Hawthorn).

And how do you know that players did not push past the pain barrier? And just for the record CS did not start World War 2

I will remain a member

After 8 years of total shite I think it's a fair call to demand and accept a better effort.

Sorry if what i say bothers you Boss.

Remember this old Australian Proverb.

"Failure requires no preparation".....

MELBOURNE recruit Jeff Garlett will fight a charge of affray over an altercation outside a CBD bar.

Garlett appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court briefly on Monday when lawyer Bernie Balmer requested the matter be adjourned for a contest mention in March.

Garlett was charged with one count of affray following the alleged fight on August 3.

Speaking outside the court, Mr Balmer said Garlett would argue self-defence.

"At the moment on our advice we're contesting the charges," he told reporters.

"You've got to remember, he got knocked out."

Garlett, who was traded to the Demons from Carlton, was hospitalised with a laceration to the head following the incident.

Four other men have been charged over the alleged fight outside a bar on Lonsdale Street.

Garlett's bail was extended until his next court date on March 20.

Maximum penalty 5 years. Higher chance of conviction if the person has prior history.

Ok.

So are you in the camp that this is a bad thing and we shouldn't hire alleged convicted persons, or that this is a welcome change to the choir boy set any say we cherry pick from?

And that one of those views is the reason why you will/won't re-sign?

Aleady signed on for Redlegs with my wife, daughter, father in law and two nephews.

A few months ago the season could not end quickly enough for me. Right now I want the season to start again, cant wait to see the new boys run out in the red and blue and like every year I am quietly optimistic about a top 8 and wishing for a top four finish. I think when it turns around it will happen quickly, we have some very good players and are filling some more gaps this off season. If we can get 30-40 goals from a couple of players we will be right int them mix. Garlett, Howem Hogan and Dawes, I am looking at you.

I hope the club honours Tulip at the opening round and the faithful come out in numbers.

Go Dees

Hope springs eternal!

You're not a supporter if you're not financial....you're just a barracker.

Total agreement there. Get on board or like cockroaches scurry away when the going gets tough!

I am a member so be it.

I had the pleasure of meeting Burgo at a show . Great guy quick chat , people are working extremely hard in all departments at the club . Goodwin and McCartney are great additions . Best shape the club has been in in years.

Also - Aussie rock royalty and gun graphic designer working full time at the club.

Talented bunch all round by the look of it.

We will make finals again this year or next imo.

I cancelled my dedicated demon "Legends Membership"

The first time ever I have cancelled.

I had a call from Brooklyn Fraser - Membership.

She asked if that was a mistake? We went into a long conversation.

In the end I accepted to downgrade to a Redlegs home game membership.

No sponsorships, no pet membership.

So if anyone is looking for a seat in the legends area N49 Row M ( back row)

Then mine is available. ( 4 seats from Glenn Bartlett )

I will always be a member, but this is just rubbish. "Support" doesn't just need to be financial, it does help but saying that someone is just a "barracker" is arrogant and rude.

If you have the finances to pay for a membership, and you choose not to buy one, are you really 'supporting' the club?

IMO, no, you're not.

Buy a membership, just don't turn up to watch. No crowd in the outer sends the message

I have been a paid up member for as long as I can remember. I am always optimistic at this time of the year because of the BUTT factor ( burning up the track).

I will say I have got despondent during the year and opted to curl up in the corner in the fetal position sucking my thumb rather than go and watch the game. I just couldn't imagine not getting a membership ( financial reasons aside).

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
