Says it all really I thought it was bad but not this bad.

Basket case for so long.

Now is the time to push for a great next decade

Starts now.

No wonder there is pessimism around here.

    We were horrible for 5 years of that. Not close to AFL standard. Those days are over.

    Who cares. Not sure anyone would have expected any different.

    I knew we were bad, but I didn’t think we’d be worse than Carlton. That’s pretty damning. When will we finally come good?! It’s been 50+ years!

    2020 is a fresh start. Here’s hoping we show some improvement for [censored] sake.

    With the exception of not winning a premiership I would take the 90s/00s any day over the 10s. 

    Agreed we had a good side in the 90s if not for injury to some key players could have pinched a flag, the old what if Schwartz never did his ACL 3 times and Jakovich and his back

    Of course.   Id like to see a decades ladder for those two decades though .     I bet we are sill well outside the 8 in both the 90s and 00s.

    Gillon Mc has seen this and granted the Dees some compensation.  We will get

    1st priority pick in 2020 draft

    mid 1st round pick in 2021 draft

    exclusive access to Gippsland zone for the next 5 years

    Gillon Mc said “for the benefit of the game and the long term strength of the code, we need every team being competitive across many years”  

     

    sorry- it was all a dream!! we are not the Suns

    Am 87 to 91 was all top 4, 2000 are not all bad a grand final, finals in 2000 2002 2004 2005 2006, so, the only decade we need not play finals was 70' s

    If we ran a ladder from the 70's through to now I'm guessing we would be holding the thing up at the bottom.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
