Oh No!

Give your vintage, old dee, I knew you'd struggle the most widely with this apparition.

    Convinced myself that Toumpas could play.

    Said nice things about Mitch Clark.

    Argued that Sylvia would come good.

    Said Stefan Martin would never be a footballers' bootlace.

    Believed Schwabby's whiteboard Wednesdays.

    Convinced myself that Liam Jurrah was a clean-cut tribal elder that would be AFL's greatest story.

    Sounds like you were very much a victim of Demonland group think at the time.

    The much touted Schwabian Era Melbourne Brotherhood turned out to be a great fraud. Nev Jetta the one most least likely out of that lot is the only one to make it.

    I was once convinced Roos was going to deliver us a premiership like he did the Swans, Jackson was going to take us permanently out of debt and transform us into a power club and that Hogan and Petracca would become top ten players of the competition and play in multiple Demon premierships.

    Seriously delusional.

    I still think we can win the '87 Premiership, every-time, prior to re-watching the Preliminary final match.

    yes sylvia, I must confess, thought he could come good.... well, was as wrong as anyone could be.

    i confess i have never attempted karaoke (or hari kiri for that matter)

    It's hara kiri (腹切り= literally stomach cutting).

    It's kind of redundant to say that really. If you had attempted it, you wouldn't be here to report about the experience.

    Move outside of Borewood and you too will learn about these things.

    Towards the end of his first season, I told my mates Cale Morton would win a brownlow one day.

    Beat that!!

    needless to say i had to find new mates

    I also keep believing the many re-builds we have had will work

    also, im still cut about Scully leaving even though he is an average player

    man, its good to get all that off my chest!

    You could argue you were close with Morton. His best mate and fellow skinny kid who lived next door got the Brownlow.

    I moved from Victoria to Queensland in 2006, it was the last time the MFC played finals. I take full responsibility for the club becoming a mess after my departure.

    To make amends, I've decided to move back to Victoria at the start of 2016. History will show that when my postcode starts with a "3", we generally make finals. You're welcome.

    I have recorded this one billy.

    I am only too happy for you to be correct next September.

    Ugh, how about this thread I created in 2013 about how I felt hopeful after watching a Mark Neeld press conference.

    A MARK NEELD press conference.

    It's like waking up in the middle of the night with an embarrassing memory from high school. You still cringe.

    I just watched that game, too....

    Wow, footy's changed! No accountability, no system, no structure...

    We were damned good that day, but the Swans' players had zero accountability for their opponent.

    Ted, the last time we won a flag, Old Dee and WYL were in uniform, and I was still in liquid form.

    Let's just start with finals, and we'll see where that takes us!

    Are you now confessing to a drinking problem?

    (I reckon most of us here ought to have a drinking problem.)

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
