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!

    • 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.
