    What a totally disgraceful decade. (So were the previous 40 years before  that....)
    will we now improve as a Club?

    Or slip back to being exceptionally mediocre....

    mediocrity would probably be described by most as a dramatic improvement on our present status

    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.

    Fairly sure Fitzroy would be propping us up...

    And there are still many posters here that insist the elephant in the room is really a moose.

    Maybe not if Brisbane is included...

    The old Fitzroy team was pretty good before they hit the skids and had to fold.

    After we build our training base venture and social club.  I reckon things will change around this club, and the club itself,  for the better.

    A lasting change.  Not a seasonal,  'strength of list'  type change,  but one of Identity.  Our Identity.    The sense of belonging.

    We have to improve on field before any of what you mentioned ever gets built.

    Hardly surprising but still depressing to look at. Surely the 20's can be our decade, our fans deserve it!!! ?

    A new decade comes, new beginning. God I'd love nothing more to see that ladder flipped so the Cats, Hawks, and Swans fans can experience our depression! (Cat's fans especially)

    The decade does not finish until the end of next year, so we still have time to improve our ranking!

    No obviously 2020 starts the 20's !!!

    2000 strayed the new millennium !

    Its not like leap year or anything else simple and uncomplicated!

    2000 was the last year of the previous millennium.   It was the 2000th year.  The new millennium started in 2001.  

    Why do you think Federation occurred on 1st January 1901?

    Think of it like your birthday.  You don't turn 21 (for example) until the end of your 21st year, or year 21.  You then commence year 22, your 22nd year, at the end of which you will turn 22.

    2021 will be the start of a new decade.

    You’re only as good as your last season. 

    Edit: Scratch that, I’ll take third worst over a decade.

    Federation is just the date at the time a year later than the start of the  milinium.

    Because people mistakenly thought it was the start of a new millennium because it was the year 2000. 

    You're still making the same mistake.

    I'll dumb it down for you.  The first decade is years 1 to 10.  The second decade is years 11 to 20.  The third decade is years 21 to 30.

    The first century is years 1 to 100.  The second century is years 101 to 200.  And so forth.

    The first millennium is years 1 to 1000.  The second millennium is years 1001 to 2000.  Etc, etc.

    There is no year zero.  The first year is year one.  The hundredth year is year 100.  The thousand year is year 1000.

    If you still have doubt, Google it.

    I think mediocrity is about right for the last few years. It's the first half of the decade where we could just dream of reaching the heady heights of mediocrity.

    Sometimes waiting to strike Lasiter's, is just waiting too long.

    Sometimes going into hock to get it done, is the way to get there sooner.

    Like so many off the other clubs have done.  If we get into trouble, let the other clubs and league bail us out.

    Mate you dumbed that down so far even I could get it.

    This country is getting dumber by the year.

    Good luck teaching idiots

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
