Not for me unfortunately. What I'm seeing on the field is pleasing and different to many of the false dawns I've witnessed in the past. However my MFCSS is so ingrained that I keep expecting the wheels to fall off at every turn. Only a premiership will alleviate the negativity that I have in my head and my heart and even then it will only be a band aid until the next season. Perhaps a three-peat will help ...

You could written that about me. After half century 8 wins won't do it.

    I started coining the phrase DOA (Decade of Arrogance) some time back, but have had to postpone or rethink a few times (in the last 50 years). However I have matured and area now taking it "one week at a time".

    The season now has gone : 

    A good start  (Freo) , Bloody hell 2 in a row (Saints), 3WOA (GWS), Ripper (Geelong NRL) , Just  another win (Horforn ),              "Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*&&( K"" (Toiges) , 7WOA (Norf) and now 8WOA (Swans) .

    Would dearly love a YOA !!!!

    Its the only thing that makes me not like you, resign as the president of the MFCSS, and we can be friends Andy

    Might help but pretty sure it won't cure it.
    Reckon Richmond supporters are still rather insecure for eg.
    They can feel their rein at the top ending.

    And lets say we did win one as the Bulldogs did and then like them come out the next year and not even make finals.
    I'd still be furious.
    As I was in 2001 after losing the GF in 2000.

    That is the thing about winning premierships, the euphoria last until round 1 the next season, after 1964 the demons where the most feared club in the VFL, by round 12 in 1965 everyone was saying the demons who

    My euphoria probably won't last that long .

    Winning a GF might give me a heart attack ( worth it ) . If it doesn't the euphoria will last a lifetime !

    I’m similar except for the last bit. One premiership will satiate me. That’s all I need to see, just one. 
    Stalking the Richmond board after losses, those ungrateful [censored] make me sick. It’s like the recent flags stand for nothing, they get stuck in and world is ending. 
     

    I’m also a Liverpool supporter, we’re having the season from hell but I couldn’t care less, I just saw a Champions League and Premier League trophy, yet some fans want the whole club sacked. I don’t get it.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
