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... 😉

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
