I'd like to propose a month of no whingeing on demonland where our members can analyse and critique our performances and that of our players but are not allowed to:

1. Draw a link between how we perform to the last time we won a flag. 

2. Play the victim when we lose and complain about how the club gives nothing back. The club owes you nothing. 

3. Bemoan the lack of communication from the club. 

4. Mention how Collingwood were happy to see the back of Gary Pert. 

5. Mention how our Coaching department didn't review the Preliminary Final loss to West Coast.

<INSERT DEMONLAND WHINGE HERE>

I'm not saying we can't be critical of performance but rather do so in a constructive manner.  In short, lets be more like Amber Whalan and support our club unconditionally without the veil of negativity as Paul Roos described it.

Dees!

    People who are passionate about something will say things in the heat of the moment when unexpected disappointment occurs.

    Your post is the most pointless thing I have read here this season.

    Demonland serves as an outlet. Venting on here is what allows some supporters to retain a modicum of sanity.

    If you don’t like it then scroll past it or put people on ignore. Either way, get over it.

    We have more to whinge about in the past month than the entire last season. When the positives reappear the whingering will go.

    As long as it's related to the game played and not a whinge about how Collingwood would not accept what we accept and hence why we are bottom dwellers.

    If that happens then we're not allowed to get ahead of ourselves

    I can see everyone being really civil if we lose to GC next week...you know the side we were leading 77-7 early in the second  quarter, last August.

    Then where would the whingers who whinge about whingeing whinge?

    Not sure that whinging is the matter at hand. Each of us would be the first to openly celebrate and express our delight with the MFC if we did not have to review, analyse/reflect upon another dismal series of performances in multiple areas of the game of football that we only recently considered 'repaired'. In any case, a fully harmonious organisation on a ride on the merry-go-round is not necessarily a healthy one; reflection and the expression of such interpreted observations is akin to the more universal application of desirable standards - new or old - in that search for utopian progress. We are in another cycle, agreed but at the point where more observations than normal are necessarily communicated.

    My object today is  to understand the above!

    Yes but does it need to go on & on & on & on & on?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
