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.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
