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.

    Lets just win tomorrow regardless and go down in a blaze of sour grapes.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
