This should be fun,

Obviously everything is going wrong right now so naturally people are trying to work out why. Recently the infamous camp was brought up again as a possible turning point. Now I thought that was as far back as anyone could go. But of course before that the was the trade for our 2nd best defender, Lever. Getting a young star and future leader into the club, surely that's where we stuffed up! But this morning I'm reading about Jones' "haunting past" with a link to an article that's now 5 years old! I think it's time to set the challenge to demonlanders:

What's the oldest and/or most irrelevant article you can find that explains our current situation. Get creative, I will accept anything from footy to climate change to astrology. All you need to do is explain why it [censored] us up so badly. If we're going to complain, might as well make a game of it.

    Surely the Norm Smith Curse is still relevant?

    You're not even trying!

    I reckon there's something in the Magna Carta about it.

    We need to find out why the Cleveland Browns in the NFL have the same luck as us and do the opposite.

    Not a bad record by Jethro Tull, before Ian Anderson lost his voice and then Sacked guitar Maestro Martin Barre!

    Can't believe there have been six posts in this thread and none of them have mentioned 186.

    @Sir Why You Little would be disappointed.

    Nah, have to be a comment re: Membership - so I guess we go also back to the 60's when the members transferred to Hawthorn...

    I’d go as far back as building our home ground on an aboriginal corroboree site.

    Rebuilding since 1964?

    Allowing co-tenants at the MCG has cost us home ground advantage.

    Let all the other victorian teams play at their suburban [censored] holes.

    In 1884 the MCG grandstand that housed our goalposts burnt down. I believe the trauma is still being felt.

    ???

    Someone probably needed to heal that ooze. By not doing so, it all drained away.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
