    To be honest, such is my disdain from our effort throughout the entirety of 2019, i'm really going to enjoy the absence of AFL for these next 6 months.

    That was a year that felt as long as 2013. One good win against the swans at the scg when I thought... ok, now we can start. We didn’t. One good qtr against the bombers when I thought...ok now they’re clicking. We never did. One stupidly close win by a point in the final second... but that didn’t really count as a good feeling because it was against the bottom side who lost 19 games straight. Shocking run with  Injuries then more injuries... then a backline formation, game style, that made us look like amateurs. Then injured players re injuring themselves because we played them too soon. Continual and systemically Horrible kicking for goal that regularity cost us games and a miss after the siren as if to just add salt into bitter wounds. 2019 can just [censored] off fast.

    Will never forget sitting in a hotel bar with a colleague watching the Melbourne vs Adelaide game.

    We're 30 points up and looking ominous. I turned to him and said, "They will break my heart tonight." You could smell it.

    That loss was the end of the season for me.

    Got the poor ending it deserved i suppose. The year's high was Jordan Lewis kicking a soccer goal on the goal-line after bodying his opponent and Preuss kicking 2 out of the ruck against Sydney. And the GWS win over Brisbane & Collingwood.

    Tough loss to the Eagles today but at last it looks like we’re a professional outfit and won’t drop our bundle one season after making a prelim. Bring on 2019, at least we should definitely make the finals two years running. Go Dee’s!!

    Cheer up everyone! The stores are full of Christmas goodies and Christmas trees, as well as hot cross buns. Nearly three months of Xmas carols to look forward to. Then we have daylight saving next week. So much to love. NOT.?

    A terribly disappointing and frustrating year.

    I remember 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2007,2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

    2017 was pretty disappointing too just missing out on the finals.

    I hope the Demons players and coaching staff are determined to make amends  in 2020.

    Otherwise more heads will roll...

     

    This year's Melbourne Football Club AGM will certainly be interesting with lots of angry Melbourne supporters.

     

    However, we need to discuss effective solutions to fix this mess.

    I am so sick of seeing other teams winning the premiership. 

    Be nice before I’m dead to see one just one ffs.

    The only positive I saw in 2019 is that we got rid of Darwin.

    Hopefully 2020 sees no trip to any of Launceston, Hobart or Kardinia Park but methinks we will as usual see two out of three.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
