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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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.
