Suggesting there was a 'veil of negativity' over the club's supporters.

You only have to look at this thread for confirmation that he was right. Self-indulgent wallowing.

 

Looking forward to preseason reports already ... Headline: "Viney and Hogan are off the track after experiencing soreness in their feet". Misson/Goodwin with his never misleading reports on the stars of the team "... so we are deloading them but we expect them to be available for round 1, we identified it early and want to set them up for success ... but its not a set back!". Even though we all know its a recurrence, the club has no idea how to manage foot injuries,  scans show massive hot spots, and their careers at risk.

The great thing about this forum is that we can share the pain as a collective and use the forum to air our grievances. I feel sorry for the passionate isolated Demon supporter who may not have any friends or family to share the pain with and are unaware of sites like this.

At least in my last 3 decades I felt comfort that other supporters felt the same pain like the Tigers & Dogs ..  well that’s changed & only Saints & Dees hold the longest drought 64& 66 ..  oops we hold another wrong record!

For mine this was the one thing that Roosy got wrong in his time, and it was very wrong. Suggesting there was a 'veil of negativity' over the club's supporters.

One only need look at the clubs last 50 years, and I'm pretty sure you'd find a 'veil of failure'. I think that was a massive lack of respect to the clubs heart and soul, and is probably the reason why we missed finals last year and are on shaky ground again this season. Show us and the jumper some respect and get it done.

He made the veil of negativity comment after receiving negative comments from supporters after we BEAT the Lions. Similar thing happened a couple of weeks ago when we thrashed the Suns people in the crowd still whining and moaning. He was spot on, people need to harden up instead of acting like a bunch old sooky ladies. Support the team for Christ's sake, do you think Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca etc deserve to carry around your 5 decades of baggage? What did they have to do with us missing the finals in 1976? Support the club or stfu.

Unfortunately the reality is the lack of success & decades of failures along with heartbreak losses, missed final opportunities has created this, here we go again attitude ... 2018 is no different with a fear that another heartbreak finish is upon us. Supporters just can’t trust the MFC!

You missed the bit where we blame the umpires for half our shortcomings.

It is also driven by the fact that the wider football world sees the MFC as soft and likely to be exposed under physical pressure...and that perception has been there a long time. It's the worst label to carry in a physical sport and fans resent it because it's a bit embarrassing. Until it becomes apparent that this club no longer goes that way the underlying negativity will be there.

it has taken 50 years to build up this level of negativity. the tigers took less than 40.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
