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.)

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
