Nothings gone right since 1964, why would it now?

I was thinking about this the other day.

My dad was a dedicated Dees man and saw them win our last flag. He stopped following them about 20 so years ago citing the club had gone soft.

How he concluded this im not sure. Probably just frustrated with them.

I was wondering that I will probably do the sa mne at some stage.

I know doggies fan had it worse but I Im really starting to think I dont want to wait another 10 years to see a flag.

 

Also it may not even happen in 10. For older supporters its getting more and more annoying not seeing a premiership.  I guess one wonders what point do you lose hope.

Isnt it silly to keep hoping against hope?

Last year I enjoyed the footy immensely but if next year is like this one I dont think I could keep following footy.

Sometimes I wish it was still the vfl and we only had 11 other clubs to compete with.

Sorry I just had to vent.

    Hibberd's plate has come loose. FMD!

    Aaron vandenBerg | Foot – TBC

    “He’s still running but only twice a week, so his progression is quite slow. There’s no real time frame, we’ll just be cautious with him.”

    Geez, signing vandenBerg for 3 years doesn't seem such a great call.

    Seems like we would have been better off to keep Kent and let AVB go.

    Yep. Word was we only offered Kent one year and with a new family he wanted the better security of the Saints' 3 year deal.

    Bit of a sliding doors moment for us given we offered another injury prone player in a similar role but with less skill and speed the 3 year deal. Obviously hindsight now, but I would have taken Kent's speed, goal kicking and inside 50 delivery over vandenBerg's tackling every day of the week.

    Misson should leave now... no expert but the management/conditioning of our players is pathetic. We can’t keep players on the park! Or the Norm Smith curse continues. 

    Disaster= MFC

    Probably would have played every game this year had he been offloaded to Sydney. FMD.

    AVB & Smith basically whole year out, again... very disappointing. 

    Whats wrong with Oscar? 3 weeks and no word from club.

    “He might be right to play next week, or it might take three to four weeks, we’ll just wait and see.” Misson

    once again, I have NFI what I am doing and no idea when this player will return. Show him the door now. I am dead serious. See ya later. The Joel Smith injury now still being an indefinite is just ridiculous.

    Lever: injury prone. Puny. Needs to build up body in the gym with some weights and eat some steaks. Wait for next season (maybe).

    Jeffy G: recurrent shoulder dislocation. Needs a Putti-Platt or similar procedure to continue in AFL. Out for the season. May retire.

    Vandenberg: foot stuffed. Will retire.

    Hibberd: injury prone, sent back to play early after open reduction and internal fixation of clavicular fracture. Surprise, surprise the plate and screws came loose. Now he’ll be out for longer.

    Melksham: unlikely to return this season after foot injury.

    Jetta: should sit out the season and rest so he can return at full strength next year.

    This season is officially over for MFC.

    Prepare for next year.

    Is Garlett’s latest problem really recurrent shoulder dislocation?

    FFS we just cannot take a trick.   Won’t see him again in RnB I reckon.

    And does Hibberd really have a screw loose?  Probably done for the year too.  I can understand “rushing back” an important player with clavicular plating IF it was pivotal in a finals bid (didn’t we, unsuccessfully as it turned out, try this with Jesse in 2017?) but really what was the point of risking longer term problems when the goal was not there?

    Rapidly losing any residual interest in  footy for 2019.

    Yes he dislocated it again at training. Yes Hibberd went back to the operating theatre.

    Has to go. Can’t keep players like him clogging up the list.

    Joel Smith should and will sue the club.  In the end the club is accountable for head-scratching decisions.

    Misson now won't even bother with a one liner with his injury anymore.

    At least these guys have played more than about 6 games in 3 years and are elite players.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
