    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!!

    Shocking year made even worse by Richmond winning the flag.

    I thought 2019 was a pretty good year by the Dees.

    Thought ANB, Stretch, JFK and the Wagners took giant strides as AFL footballers.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
