I'm not sure that a quote from Chomsky was what Picket was looking for.

Spot on. Today's the first day that I can honestly say I'm fed up... with Demonland. I don't think I can take another minute of the full grown adult tantrums that go on every time we lose. I think you

That's what it feels like being a Melbourne supporter. My dad took me to the 1964 Premiership win ( which I don't remember) but  I was converted properly coz I loved the old style Demon jumper after s

Put it this way if I or anyone for that matter were feeling suicidal you wouldn't be watching the Dees they would tip you over the edge, especially against a team that has lost 8 games in a row, won 5 games for the year and 2 of them against your team that is some depressing [censored].

Thats a hilarious bump of a post...  how sad we have lost to them twice this season.

Not going to happen to me. I've written off the year after the loss to North.

I hope I am wrong but sorry guys, I've given up. Let's just lose to the Saints as we usually do and season should be done and dusted.

At least if you expect the worst you'll never be disappointed.

Makes you wonder why we continue to be supporters after days like today. Were the only club (Gold Coast excluded) that hasen't played finals in 10 years, the longest drought and have a team that seems to be lost at sea. i am sick of copping crap from opposition fans and not being sble to return serve because we have too many players that just dont live under the pressure that an AFL player should. I told my son to follow the Crows like the rest of family as i dont want him ti end up footy depressed like me.  i feel for those who have travelled the last 2 weeks as we have been simply a club not acountable for its of actions.

It's that feeling of not knowing where to turn isn't it? It is getting out of hand these droughts. Richmond copped it hard for their mediocrity and we just fly under the radar with it. Part of being relevant again means we'll have to face these mental issues head on because we can't just hide in the corner and let it pass.

It's unrequited love.

We love the club so much but all it does is put us through false dawn and pain.

Hats off to supporters who have made both road trips. Hard to watch when clearly some players don't really give a stuff.

I know we lost today but I'm still quite disappointed with losing to North last week. Currently they've only kicked 3 goals against the pies and it's almost 3 quarter time. Without us, this team would be on the bottom of the ladder and we can't even beat them.

I support coz it is my team, disappointed with the loss today, but it's just footy, some need to give their 'misery' a bit of perspective

Why don't you tell people who have a go just to [censored] off like I do

Pies 7 goals up on Roos. 

We are a great side. 

Just [censored] infuriating isn't it? No excuses. I'm so [censored] sick of excuses from this club. Once again we have completely [censored] the bed and thrown away certain finals.

Too early?

Too early in our development to play finals, that is for certain.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
