I seriously feel sorry for the MFC employee who will be reading these emails. 

I will not hold back

 

Sharpening the Blades before i commence...

Good for you. However its unlikely they even barrack for us and get paid every week anyway.

The more I think about our problems the more I think our biggest one and most pressing is being homeless. It is really difficult to fully comprehend as we are so used to it. Even the most basic of suburban Clubs has an oval with a pavilion, car parking and a community club feel. That is why I am so hard on Pert, nearly one year in and no communication towards a solution after wasting time on the proposal at the G that should have never got past its initial brainstorm.

I said that the communication from the club to members this year has been appalling. Have not heard boo from our CEO. You’d hardly know he works at MFC

Well I for one am certainly looking forward to his letter of apology and refund at seasons end !!! ???

Our problems are onfield and in the Changeroom. The Players work hard, but NEVER hard enough. We are reactive and not proactive, said it here in 2006 and not a thing has changed. 

Our home is The MCG, that is where the Club was conceived, make Finals and the Demon Army will fill the place. 

I want to see the Club work much harder, before they are “gifted a new home”

Members should have received an email today from the club requesting you to participate in a membership survey. It's a good thing they did it today compared to if they sent it on Monday (and following a loss to Carlton if it occurs).

Would love yo know what @Sir Why You Little put down for the top 5 words that come to mind when you think about the Melbourne Football club!

 Nope - not a positive year of football so far and there are limited sliver linings to follow, I'm afraid. Designed to elicit responses that they wish to hear.

Our website sucks

This has been a scrawny year for the Website. Dull, lifeless, deficient in explanations,.

We fill in the surveys each year but never get a response or any feedback. I understand that on-field performance will fluctuate, but nothing seems to change off-field regardless of the survey results or feedback.

Communication to members has always been poor, but it has been totally absymal this year. Couple that with the dire on-field performance and I really wonder the club hopes to gain from this survey.

I know you are a committed and passionate supporter so do not wish to argue your point. I just wish we could wave a wand and have the MCG as our home base too. I just cannot see how it could come to pass.I agree on the hard work and hard work and think we should have looked at a monster Barassi  type offer for Joel Selwood years ago to teach a generation how to prepare and play the game.

I am quite happy for the Club to stay where it is, we just need the other clubs who share, to move on. 

I expect a full Independent Review of the Football Dept over Summer. 

Goodwin must have Performance based clauses written into his contract. 

Bartlett has a lot of work head of him


Spleen vented, pity the poor soul that has to pass on my comments. 

I'm afraid I was half hearted about this survey. Answering the questions was like pulling out a splinter, painful but necessary. Couldn't even think of five words. Only put underperforming. What in all honesty do they expect us to say? I passed on the extra comments section. I really couldn't think of anything, it's all been so disappointing. 

I also passed on the competition at the end, for the opportunity to be in the team photo with three ( I think) friends. Do not want to be part of that. Please offer a better prize.

5 words hey ???

 

I DEMAND A [censored] APOLOGY !!!!!!!!

Notated my disappointment on the online survey, but yes I could imagine some office youngsters rolling around in laughter as they read the responses from passionate members over a morning cappuccino.

It is what it is.

Tell them how bad this year has been in no uncertain terms.

And as for those pitiful post game talks by the loser coach- WTF?

Absolutely right!

The club could have saved the time and effort involved in a survey by simply reading this and one or two other threads currently alive on Demonland.

I think they'd get the picture of how supporters are feeling atm.

Simples!

One wonders why West Coast get to train on the G over us:

This amused me, I just completed the survey and when I hit finished it told me that the Soft ware  did not work and my survey was lost.

Sounds very much like the team. Failed to lift off.

So I sent off an email to the membership department suggesting they might not get many replies if this is the norm.

I will try again soon but it was not very flattering so perhaps they don't need it.

 

Edited by old dee

I still haven't got this, obviously not on the list this year or they didn't like the feedback I've given previously

 

I only wrote down 3 answers. My first answer was soul destroying. And I meant it.

It still astounds me that we can get 50k+ members for a team that has performed well in 5 years of the last 55.

We must be the most deluded bunch of people in society.

  • 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?

  • 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.
