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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
