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.

    good to see your sense of humour is as sharp as ever, col

    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.

    I enjoyed a Billy Joel concert years ago...

    Thats because you can't handle pressure.

    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.)

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
