Bizarre thing to say considering 2013 was of the worst display of football i have seen from a footy club in my time supporting Melbourne.

Yes we were ? Are you comparing MFC 2013 to top end draft picks and a whole draft system that was completely dedicated to setting a whole club up to the scraps we were left with?

You can't be serious DD.

Pea heart performance.

    Nothing is lining up our way. Essendon a huge chance to knock us off tomorrow anyway.

    Cheer up 'dazz'...I reckon we should take EFC.

    ...and at least then we're in it for another day.

    Regardless of tonight’s result, I’ve already assumed the position, with hands behind my head, for the club to kick me in the balls one last time tomorrow.

    edit - until round one next year.

    Wow hasn't the giants season turned into a flop. They have gone from runners up to nothing really. 

    The Giants were built on the model of skilled corridor attack.

    Zoned ultra defences killed the beautiful beast

    What’s worse...

    1. Playing in the GF in 2019 then dropping to 10, OR

    2. Finishing 17th in 2019, then rising to 9th..?

    ?

    Think they need $’s now not later. Aints members outweigh GWS. The crowd tonight is heavily favoured towards the aints

    Given that the finals are in Queensland, how is the Aints having a greater number of members than GWS going to create more $$ for the AFL? You do realise that channel 7 is playing fake crowd noise? Even if some of the noise was real, a small number of loud voices can make a lot of noise in an empty stadium. And finally, HQ needs GWS to do well for its TV ratings in NSW, which do have some small significance for the AFL's financial future.

    You know it is guaranteed now that we lost tomorrow and then the dogs lose on Sunday.

    At least this game eliminates the possibility of us missing out on finals by 0.1% again

    Its just that kind of game we'd typically dropped.

    Just another wasted season could be pulling the trigger early but the usual script of failure of the mfc on display for another season

    Nothing would surprise but touch wood, we have gotten better at these games.

    No excuses, we've had a reasonable break.

    To everyone here on Demonland. We were lucky we played GWS at the right time when they are playing poorly. We were scheduled to play GWS 2nd round. Day before we played Essendon game gets cancelled. We are playing against Essendon at the right time. There is still hope for us. We need more luck to go our way. Time will tell

    Have we?? Should have sewn up a win either against the Swans or Freo. Do that and we'd be having a week off next week. Instead we find ourselves in the same position as 3 years ago in 2017.

    We haven't gotten better. After the St Kilda game I really thought we had turn the corner. But again we find ourselves in a position where it's another year gone down the drain due to just butchering games we're suppose to win.

    Even in the unlikely event that the Dogs lose, do we really want to play the Eagles in Perth? Not me.

    Love ur spirit .. we blew it, the saints have shown & dogs will what good teams do when the opportunity is to win games to play finals .. We get over inflated heads with weak leadership & suspect coach who can’t fix the same issues!

    • 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.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
