Tipping Point Has Been Reached...

51 years of crap

We need to recruit LEADERS who will not stand for selfish soft attitudes

Players who cannot kick mark handball or run to an AFL elite standard must go, it has now reached that point.

A Coach can only teach. It is the players who activate those teachings. What we saw yesterday is not Roos' gameplan, it was a total shambles

and we do not have the leaders to stamp it out

We have to import. Anything else is yet another Bandaid...

    Malthouse is available.

    We can get Sylvia back as a rookie. (But make sure he has a big preseason)

    Offer the entire salary cap to Dangerfield. He's such a guy, he won't accept all that much, so offer what's left to Wines.

    Sack everyone on the list who isn't prepared to do .... [need to run poll thread to find out what those things are]

    International search to recruit the best available messiah figure. Send the bill to Gill.

    Apologies for lack of caps.

    Dangerfield & Wines would have beaten us yesterday.

    They attack at all times...

    Good to see you haven't lost your sense of humour, Nash.

    Nasher is on the meds early this week! :)

    If we beat The Filth next week it just proves my point even more

    The players pick and choose when they hit the Go switch.

    That must stop.

    10yrs of poor drafting & port development is wr we are @ now!

    Will require another clean out yr end to rid of the vfl players who simply can't play AFL level

    Skill level alone is not enough & mental preparation to play AFL is critical...

    Surely we've had a few 'tipping points' before this?

    For some it seems as though every loss is a tipping point.

    Just giving this thread the quality of contribution I thought it deserved.

    What's your contribution toward a solution?

    no, 20 years of allowing the culture to drift slowly downwards into a self serving & self protective one. where players wouldn't hold their feet, or chase an opponent in a true way... or attack the opposition body with real hunger & intent to hurt.

    we continue to want to be the nice guys of the AFL, & it started by sacking the culture of Checker/Smithy...

    it wasn't the loss of Smithy by name, that smashed us ! It was the acceptance of Soft, Cosy, NICE, etc that has smashed us ever since !

    the hardness was imported Via Checker, who taught Smithy, who taught Barassi, who learn't it & carried it with him when he left.

    the desire to have the club be pleasant, is what curses us. & anyone who resides often in its pleasant presence, will be seduced by its warmth & its grace.

    this is NOT the way to make warriors !

    I have no idea when the point arrives for players but there were a lot of members who reached it yesterday.

    It is the way that the team loses

    Lack of basic skills and structure since 2007...

    We do not lean from adversity....

    I am seriously entertaining the idea of hiring a plane to tow a banner around the MCG next Saturday at 2pm with something like MFC SQUIBS or JELLYFISH written on it. Hope my tax refund appears soon.

    Public Supporter Backlash. I like it

    It is time we put the club in the spotlight...

    You won't get an answer.

    Nasher seems to be in the 'I'm content with being average' crew of demonland.

    Don't know why anyone would find it funny if we beat Collingwood. Especially with Cloke and Elliot out.

    How many [censored] 'rebound' games have we seen with this club? Why would anyone think that everything will be all okay if we were to beat Collingwood?

    I'll tell you the threads already:

    "This team will turn into something special!"

    "How good was Grimes?"

    "Hogan will be a star!"

    "Wow, Jamar!"

    Essendrug players play with more heart and pride than we do; just have a think about that. They have every reason to drop their bundle- and did for a few weeks, but they realised their standing in the community and re-grouped.

    We have been utter shite for going on 9 years now. We are a pathetic club filled with talentless, leaderless losers, led by an uninspiring coach who is surrounded with yes men and fawning media. We still stand for nothing!

    Where's the pride in having the oldest club in the land? Being the games stalwart? Why is there such a massive leadership void, why is it always up to the new guys to inspire?

    Our culture is probably shitter than it's ever been. Who are our figureheads? Where's our influence, where's our voice? Does anybody even care? Whatever, were pathetic

    Sadly none of those comments will get a run next week praha

    Who said there is a fine line between pleasure and pain?

    In the case of the MFC I think the line is a bloody thick one

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
