Melbourne out of hell: Demons on the rise

Great article and right on the money!

    From the article:

    "Jack Viney is the spiritual leader. Concrete takes a backward step when it sees him coming.."

    This one is straight from here...

    "Although there will be those hardy fans whose pessimism is so ingrained they would refuse to believe in progress at Demonland even if they saw Nathan Jones holding a premiership cup aloft on grand final day."

    Thanks for the read

    still plenty of work to do but the players must be seriously believing they can match any side...

    I agree with the spirit of the article however we need to put the runs on the board. 3 of the teams we have beaten have been terrible and we were lucky to get away with a win in Round 1. There are great signs but we need to start winning the games we should win and take a few scalps along the way. The Demons ARE on the rise.

    I know the author well. Knowing his dislike for all things MFC it must've pained him to write it.

    I find it hard to believe that people hate Melbourne, other than those who have supported them their whole lives.

    I know him too although haven't spoken to him for years.

    He's a die-hard Richmond supporter but I didn't think he minded the Dee's all that much?

    The author looks EXACTLY like someone I know who has absolutely no interest in sport. Weird.

    it's nice to know that some are starting to pick up the scent. A Giants v Demons GF in a few years doesn't take a vivid imagination.

     

    Okay, maybe a little vivid...

    Cam has a lot of Demon mates that love to stir him up.

    Can't agree with this. We won because we played better than them.

    Was a seriously good come from behind victory against a side that has since beaten Geelong and Hawthorn. Don't know why people try and downplay it. Easily our most impressive victory of the year.

    Oh really? I read the article, but to be honest I thought it read like a well written post on here.

    I thought he must have been a demon supporter.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
