As a long time supporter I'm tired.

 

Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach 

 

Feel your pain on the Dee-trauma front, Deegirl.

To be fair to the big fella his goals/behinds percentage is pretty darn good at 68.12% from 141 goals in 204 games -  better than Dunstall and not far off Lockett. For the record, Yze is 54.67% and Goodwin 54.54%. (Ben Brown at 67.21% is nice!). I remember him as having a very simple and clean kicking action.

But in general it has been a tiring watch over the journey.

    Petracca looks the same as last season. Not sure what you're looking at. 

    How many times have you seen Rosman play just out of interest?

    This sort of completely rude, pointless post is a stain on this generally pretty good site. Just rubbish and it says all I need to know about who you are a person. And it is one of your more innocuous posts.

    As I have posted before I put very few posters on ignore. Mostly with posters such as yourself who add little but angst i just don't bother with their posts, or if I do  use sarcasm to make a point.

    But this rudeness is the straw 'dr d' and on ignore you go. It has been a tough  long year for everyone. Who needs to see such dull negativity.

    Fraser Rosman has the potential to be an absolute beast. He has a similar physique to Paddy Cripps.

    Bit of muscle to come, bit of orientation to the level, bit of inspiration from the Team - all will be good. I'd like to think that he could become an important interceptor and 'physical' rebounder with courage and intent. Over to you, Chock-Ooze!

    I contacted the club today about going to Casey and what time training would be. This is there response.

    Thank yo for taking the time to contact us.

    The team won't be training tomorrow and at this stage their won't be any open training sessions. You can see training sessions when they take  place from outside the fence but you can't enter or approach players on their way in or out before or after training for photos or autographs due to the current guidelines.

     

    So sorry Demonlanders I won't be going Friday. Hopefully in the new year they will have open training sessions.

    Thanks for your efforts Werridee, do you mind just checking again that it didn't go on to say

    ... However we do understand supporter sites such as Demonland offer a valuable service in providing additional information to our fans, and given the circumstances we'll endeavour to provide further information on our website, along the same lines of what's been seen on those sites. 

    They may have forgotten to add that part.

    Everyone here has stood by the team and continues to do so.

    You can do that while also admitting that they torture us.

    Thank you for your service.

    Let us know how it goes and how much you can still see from behind the fence.

    I'd love to head down before the Christmas break but not if it's comparable to sitting in row MM of the Ponsford stand. Apologies in advance to @Supermercado

    False comparison, the elevation of Row MM lets you see everything you need to. Watching through the Casey fence would be like sitting at the back of Level 1 of the MCG but even worse because you're looking through a fence.

    We are so frustrating and can't be trusted.   It's not pleasant watching them, it's a chore.

    As a long time supporter I'm tired.

    Tired of not seeing them fulfil potential.

    Tired of seeing them drop games they should win.

    Tired of watching subpar skills.

    Tired of having [censored] Robbo as the game day hype man.

    Tired of seeing Trac, Clarry and Brayshaw not got back and take their time off the mark.

    Tired of seeing Melksham give away stupid 50s.

    Tired of not seeing the club hire a vodou houngan to calm the uneasy spirit of Norm Smith. 

    Tired of saying wtf happened to Tom McDonald

    Tired of seeing spuds like ANB on the list

    Tired of Greg Stafford being our goal kicking coach (pre-Choco)

     

    Think of this as my MFC Festivus  - I got a lot of problems with you people!

     

     

    Very good. 100% agreed.

    This post just about sums up why we've been utter garbage since 2007 and have not fulfilled our so called potential under Goodwin, despite he being gifted a solid list and re-build.

    The Melksham one I especially agree with. If he gives away another pathetic 50 in round 1 next year, he can go play at Casey Fields until June.

    I hear you Deegirl

    I had to stop watching mid-way through 2019. Wasn’t fair on the family to put up with my outbursts and grumpiness. I was so expectant after 2018 and then….devastation.

    Disappointment is the lot of most fans but the life of a dees supporter is a tough road.

    But having said that, when we eventually come good, and we will (hopefully I’ll be alive) it will be all the sweeter for having travelled that road.

    Go dees!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
