I hope this isn't the start of another Daniher yo-yo period.

I hope it is if the yo-yo goes high enough.

The happy-go-luckies are still at stage 1 unfortunately.

Or fortunately for them really. It's the reason they're always positive!

Depression for me. Earlier in the year, I had packed away in a box the members ticket, 2 jerseys (one which my daughters bought me for Xmas last year), bomber jacket and scarf, and now stored on top of the wardrobe. Threw in the bin the calendar, car stickers and 2 guest passes. Have not attended a game since the first St Kilda loss. Will not renew my dedicated demon package next year. Such a waste.

yep, it's the <waste>, isn't it...

Stage 4 for me ?


I am at stage 5.. but that's more so now that i simply don't give a [censored] anymore. The St Kilda was the last straw for me. 

I have far more enjoyable things to look forward to then waste 2 hours stressing about something that has no relevance to my personal life.

My thoughts to a tea DD36.?

Good grief men?  Sorry and ladies

This is footy, it's a sport, nobody dies, it's a very small part of my full life, occupies a few hours once a weekend

Went home after St Kilda game, had a beer and moved on to next week, we were deplorable, me sulking about it ain't gonna change it

Thank you for the good laugh at lunch time

 

The 5 Stages of being a Melbourne Supporter

1. denial - why didn't we draft Ollie Wines?

2. anger - Oscar is a spud! How does he get a game?

3. acceptance - Frost does some good things but gee whiz ...

4. depression - May, Lever, VdB and KK will never give us an entire season

5. bargaining - why didn't we draft Ollie Wines?

I think collectively we are in stage 4 Depression. Statements like 'sack the coach', 'trade Gawn' etc. Helpless overreactions that would actually make things worse, because we think it can't get any worse.

In about a month we will all be at Acceptance and it won't seem so bad. We'll have some optimism back for 2020 and this year will be a bad memory.

Sure, much better to go ten straight years without playing finals. 

Im still at 1! How can we be this freakin bad after the promise of last season??

How very self-aware.

Me? I've been stuck in the denial stage since 1965.

Denial. I will call it depression.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
