Reasons why and why not to sign up in 2015

Featured Replies

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!

On fire Klink!

Well I do declare! That is the sweetest thing you've ever said to me penelope!

 

Why - people will talk up our chances of being competitive and winning games which will get you optimistic. Plus you know your helping the club.

Why not - we realistically will still be bottom 4.

TH give yourself a slap! We will finish 10-12

You reckon? I would be content with that.

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.

Prince Molly of Meldrum? But he's a Saints loyalist!

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 had considered upgrading a couple of years ago - glad I didn't. My Trident rolled over the other day, $540 I think. I hope to get some better value for money soon.

Nooe , younger brigade . Big oil town and tv show ( 1st word ) .

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

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.

Not another riddle, I am still affected from the trade riddles!

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).

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    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.
