I support the club, I might joke every now and again that they're trying my patience and  that I might not renew, or burn, my membership, but it's a slight exaggeration. ?

If they traded Hogen, Petracca and Brayshaw with Watts, that might push me over the limit. ?

    Not a trick and this is probably not the venue to ask that question which is why I will also pose the question on the Demonland Facebook page.

    They have kicked me in the guts many times over the last 46 years...

    But I am still there.

    They will kick me in the guts again over the rest of the journey...

    But I will still be there.

    Only an Essendrug type thing would make me walk away... but only until those that did it where removed and punished...  then I'd be back.

    Why? Because my heart beats true. I have demon blood running up and down my veins, carrying it to my great big red and blue heart.

    There is no football without the MFC. There is no point watching football without the MFC. Without the hope of hearing 'Grand Old Flag' then it's just a bunch of guys in shorts and silly tops chasing leather. But with that hope... it is the greatest game ever made.

    I live in the country, cost in time and money is always a consideration but I've airways been a member. I use to travel 2 hours each day for work daily, now only 40 mins but now I'm a casual so money is a big factor. So while it wouldn't solely make up my mind, if they traded Viney and or petracca and I was getting sod all shifts it might swing me to down grading out dropping for a year. 

    Never done it yet to.

    I don’t care who is traded but the club as a whole are on there last chance with me, either make finals next year or not another cent from me till they do.

    I've supported the MFC for 65 years, C stands for CLUB.

    I've therefor seen quite a few people come and go, players, coaches ,admins , etc, all having their input which is greater than mine.

    I count myself lucky that in my latter years I've got the opportunity to be a member of Demonland , which allows me so much more  MFC involvement. Compared to Saturday nights Sporting Globe its a big step up.

    So watts my point ? The thread question should have included a CLUB alternative which is always greater than the team perspective .

    In light of one player commanding 259 pages I think its a salient point.

    RDB and the Redfox moving on were really big topics in times gone by and would have commanded more than 259 pages in  retrospect

    In conclusion , despite his buzzcut, I suspect Goody is a redhead and I hope he gets as many flags as the last one !

    There seems to be a lot of sentiment online that a "supporter" won't buy a membership if player X is let go?

    In this case player X is of course Jack Watts. The Melbourne Football Club posted a post on Facebook plugging the purchasing of your 2018 membership and the majority of comments center around people claiming that they won't purchase a membership if Jack Watts is traded.

    Do you subscribe to this? Would you not buy a membership based on a players retention, trade or delisting?

    As far as I’m concerned. Those who don’t buy a membership bcos Watts was traded can.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
