Irrespective of how bad some of those results were never like to see our "supporters" verbally abuse players leaving the ground 

Dismal days on so many levels hopefully we don't see them again

This current team has so much more ability and are supported by a very capable coaching group all of whom seem to me at least to know what they want and how to get there

Yes we can dare to dream I will be overwhelmingly happy for the players if they can win the flag but also a little sad that me and so many more long suffering supporters will not be there to share it with them

    Always remember where you came from and then you can truly appreciate your achievements. One month and change to go.

    It all started with PJ, Glenn Bartlett then Roosy and our cultural shock learning to play hard tough footy and how to pick winners at the draft via JT and team. It has been a seven year journey and are we ready, 2018 was a taste of things to come but we learnt tough love, resilience and team first principles that will buoy us through the good and better times ahead.

    It's a cruel joke, regardless of flag or no flag this year, that we cannot experience this together nor roar them home.

    A cruel joke as it's taken dark decades to get here & a seemingly lifetime of dreary Sunday's shuffling home from a loss all hang-dog.

    Tracc's words & emotions nailed it for me.

    Bring on the new season & give 'em hell.

    That was my main take away from the video too tbh. Mostly middle aged angry men yelling abuse at a bunch of 20-something young blokes. Pretty pathetic.

    There is an old saying "you need fire and heat to make the best steel".

    The win on the weekend there was fire and heat, the players dug deep and eventually won.

    No matter what the victory was impressive and maybe this was the catalyst they need to believe they can go all the way.

    The Demons of the late 1930's, 1948, 1950's and 1964 all had the belief that anything is possible if you play as a team and are disiplined enough as a group the premierships will come.

    Hopefully this group have that belief and I think the weekend showed they are a group that can go all the way but last week is over and they must not dwell in the past and grab the opportunity that has presented it self to this group.

    They need 3 more wins to make this group a MFC immortal and the start of a dynasty where premierships are the norm not the exception.

    The age of this team is very young but very talented.

    Didn't know where else to post this, so here it is, from yesterday's Hun (apologies if someone else found somewhere else for it).

    Apart from Suns and North (LOL...) what's wrong with this picture?

    Someone's missed the Zeitgeist!

    I reckon a lot of those idiots were Essendon supporters tbh. Can see a lot of people with Essendon colours and no colours.

    OMG. Did you make this? It’s so good. Insanely good. Great choice and placement of music, too. Rage Against The Machine and at the end, Johnny Cash’s Nine Inch Nails cover. Perfect. 
    Please, please post it again if/when you update it. And thank you. Coz since Saturday night  it’s been like a good 3-4 hours since I last cried for this club and I felt something was amiss. 😊

    It may have been Melbourne 'supporters' abusing (i.e. I heartily agree with you, Syd!) but I can assure you at least one person in those scenes was very generously not doing so.

    Such surprises are possible: I was at that game with a great, diehard Essendon-supporter mate, sitting not far from the race. Of his own volition - possibly in solidarity with me, but he also has a soft spot for Melbourne - he went over to the fence and let forth with loud and expressive 'C'mon Dees' supportive urgings. He was most embarrassed to be splashed across the following day's papers seemingly as one of the abusers!

    The Club will have to organise a Function/Family/Sunday after the Day style function for 20/25,000 fans when Covid allows to celebrate with the players.

    Maybe  a Premiership Dinner as well for the upper market experience etc. to keep the pot boiling!!!

    A lot of the footage in that video belongs in The Rinsing of the Demons thread. It's hard to believe it's the same club to be honest. We were a complete and utter rabble from top to bottom.

    Now you're in such a happy place (assuming all Dees fans are), I'm sure a little update is on the horizon good sir... 😉

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
