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.

    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.

    How very self-aware.

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

    Denial. I will call it depression.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
