In response to one of their fans saying they were "underwhelmed by Melbourne".

It was our worst performance in 6 weeks on the back of being up for a fair while, a six day turn around and a trip to Alice.

Glad we scraped over the line.

The word 'our' in that post might have been the problem

It's fair to say I was expecting a barrage of abuse.

It fuels me.

Ha, I forgot about Tom Boyd. 

 

Even though he played all day today. 

Boyd won them a premiership (should have won the Norm Smith), but with his wages and contract he's now become a liability for them.

Incredible to think that this club won a premiership only 20 months ago.

  • Time for the coach to go. Our structure is shot. Players not playing for him. In fact sack anyone that had anything to do with signing Trengrove
  • I don’t think anyone can argue against the point that we’re in a complete rebuild phase. There’s a lot of things to fix/improve etc
  • If anyone says at least it was only 8 goals, I’ll spew up
  • In summary, we led by around 18 points at some stage in the first quarter. 11+ goal turn around for the remainder of the game.
  • I was a little under-whelmed by Melbourne. They'll be there or thereabouts in September but not sold yet.
  • Congratulations to Nathan Jones too on 248 H&A games.
  • Time to organize the trades. Dalhouse Boyd and Roughead. Delistings - Honeychurch, Dickson, Smith, Crozier, for starters. Boyd need to do something about him. Cut our losses and move on.
  • Boyd just isn’t the answer I’m afraid. Bloke looks like Tarzan but plays like Jane
  • Noooo dogs how could u let a salary cap breaching club like Melbourne beat u..they dont even have training facilities
  •  just an opinion this is.... in my heart NOW.. yes..2016...this group did play well..but...i am fully convinced to the hilt...it was just as about every other premiership certain club's won..IT WAS GIVEN TO THEM...by th AFL... n.. that's FARKIN SAD.!!.. 1f60e.png?
  • Are the Doggies that bad or are the Demons that good. What is going on.
  • Go Dees, had to beat the umpires as well as the Bulldogs.
  • Boyd and schache run away from the ball haha
  • What’s actually happened to Bevo? Seems a shell of the coach that led us in 2015 and 16. I just don’t understand what he’s trying to achieve, and the players look absolutely lost. It’s concerning.

This Bulldog boy sounds very astute and articulate to me. The advantage, I presume, of a Western Suburbs education in life.

Salary cap breaching club???

WTF are they on?? Last time I checked they were the team that went and paid 1m a season to Tom Boyd whiles retaining their entire list. 

If anyone's cap should be questioned it should be Hawthorns, can't see how we are close to breaching.

 

 

He is talking about when we got done for cheating the cap in the late 1990's

Very cute puppies smashed us around the stoppage for only a 50 point loss . 

And who can forget the season of cheating chucking and ducking to a flag . Flogs

As interesting as the thread is to read, it feels a bit heavy on the arrogance by looking down on other clubs and revelling in their frustration. Each club has [censored] supporters making hilariously delusional quotable posts. I'll take a guess that comments on other clubs forums won't appear here after we lose either. Negativity squared wouldnt be fun.

Go back to round 2 2016 and you will find certain posters going on about how we should have chosen Parish over Clarry. 

I'm sure most of us wouldn't have appreciated incognito opposition supporters posting on our board or a list of the moronic things said on here.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    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
