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.

    All over.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
