It is possible for today to be pathetic (it is) and the 2016 season to be successful (it has been).

We may have improved some elements but it's hardly a successful is it if this is the litmus

One positive to come out of a game like this is that Demonland really comes to together and there's no bickering.

A bloke I know cut himself while shaving down there.  It got infected and he nearly died from arse-nic poisoning.

Maybe if you were clearer

Pretty sure you were the only one to interpret my post as blaming the supporters for the way the team was playing. Honestly if that's the inference you drew, nothing else I say is going to help.

Looks like the social media people have gone on holiday, no tweet from Melbourne for 20 minutes

Honestly, I reckon they're as fed up as we are.

Sounds like a good game for me to miss. The off season can't come quick enough for us or the players. Thanks for the improvement this year MFC, have a break, get stuck into preseason and let's launch an assault on the finals in 2017.

Hogan has laid 2 tackles over the last 5 weeks.

Checked out already or just another youngster at the end of a long season?

I just watched that incident a couple of times and it was caused by Hogan playing for the free, and animating the effect of the jumper scrag.

So why is this the litmus? Why not say the Hawthorn game was the litmus?

No one game is definitive of the season, the season is the litmus and the season has been a success.

It would just have been more successful if we hadn't turned in a disgrace of a performance today.

Essendrug leading Carlscum by 7 goals yet we lose to both of them. 

Sadly beating Whorethorn was a blip on the radar. 

Still a Mentally Soft Club after 3 years of Roosy. 

Club is still on shaky ground. 

The season is 23 weeks long. Not that this list would know that

Time for a beer. 

Thanks Dees for the brief ray of hope this year,  that is certainly more than what we've had in the last 10 years.

Roosy, well done and thanks for your everything.

I'm out. See you next year Demonlanders.

Could be too, I just got a bit worried after he got to his feet he went down on his knees again. He seems ok now though.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
