The coach,s future would be looking shakey. If he cannot get a win in the first three with this group then the question will be is he any good?

Yep, you are spot on. I dont want to waste the talent we have, as its the best list we have had in years.

I was hoping that was the case. If the ACB have any spine. There should be three people disqualified for life and a number of others for the remainder of 2018. However I will not hold my breath.

What a crock of sh1te this thread is.  We go down by a kick and the world is coming to an end.

Pathetic and should be shut down.  A bit of positivity thanks!

Stop watching another game and live stress free for the rest of the year.

Imagine if we lost to Brisbane and then North.

With our track record, that is a surer bet than us beating them both!

Avoid the grand kids for fear of telling them that the Easter Bunny is a pretend story, put about by adults to keep them happy .................... just like the fairy stories about the resurgence of the mighty Demons.

If we lose to North AGAIN this year, I will seriously give up on life.

I am going overseas for work, and specifically organised my trip so that I fly out straight after the North game because I can't possibly miss us beating them finally! 

If we lose, at least I can enjoy unlimited champagne in business class to drown my sorrows.

I just wonder if the coaching group at the Club read these posts, to internalise the sentiments of history since 1964 that have been endured by the MFC supporters. We even speak to one another in terms of imminent Domesday outcomes and cannot help being hesitant to dare a win or its likelihood, let alone a chance at finals footy. 

We see the talent that we had in the past and have in the present but we do not see coaching making that significant difference to achieving success. We just get monotonous excuses, monologues and distanced communications - so I also wonder if these are what the players, in turn, receive. We just pick a team based upon 'form in the pre-season' and retire our players to the gym for recovery from the Grim Reaper each week. Is coaching exploiting the patient members of the Club? Time to deliver, folks!

Prepare for a long, tortuous season...

Really, we need to do more than just win.  Surely, if we can't put away last year's wooden spooners with a convincing win both on the scoreboard and on the field, we will be just making up the numbers should we make the final eight.

We let hubris get to us in the last game vs the Lions.  Instead of pressing our advantage and getting a big win we relaxed and nearly lost it.  No room for that on Saturday - this is a game where we need to make a statement.  Win convincingly!  Take no prisoners!

yell, shout, get abusive,  give up of the demons and footy altogether, announce to anyone who will listen that footy is "a stupid [censored] game anyway"

then 5 days later completely forget all that and get excited and enthusiastic of how well Melbourne will do against the Kangas

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
