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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
