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.

    Where do you need to move for us to win the flag? I'll get on realestate dot com for you.

    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.)

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
