  1. 1. Hypothetically, we lose the Prelim. You've got angry, you've got sad, you've blamed Tmac and Spargo, and perhaps the umpires and coach....Time has passed - in the cold harsh light of objectivity - will you be satisfied with the Season of 2021

Things that annoy me is that so many teams won it before us. Sydney won it in 2005. When Cats won it, it was hard because although we’d been heckled for our lack of success more, we could always say that Cats have suffered longer. Then when dogs won, we inherited the longest-continuing premiership drought. 

Clubs like Collingwood had the audacity to claim that 2010 broke a “drought.” Especially from people who went through the long “Colliewobbles” era, this seemed almost an insult. It was 20 years, a colour grand final and and AFL premiership. That’s not a drought. Real Collingwood fans know what a drought is.

Now I see Geelong fans saying they’ve “waited a long time” for their next premiership.  No, sorry 1963-2007 was a long time. This is nothing. They don’t really need or are starved for a premiership. We’re the ones in a drought. We want, deserve and need this more than any other club. I will just tear my hair out if any of these other teams win. They’ve had their turn now they think they have the audacity to claim that they have been waiting a long time.

Its our turn. We need to win it for the fans. We will have to give everything and want it more. It’s not going to be given to us. They have to fight tooth and nail for this. Like someone else said here: CUP OR BUST.

 

There are a few who will never be satisfied. 

If they were at least happy with MFC, then they wouldn't attack me, "barrack for Gold Coast you stange person, with a bad attitude".

 Still can't believe there are many nasty people in this world and a few on demonland.

Should be ashamed of yourselves, almost a disgrace, living the lie behind your pretentious facades.

No, I wouldn’t be satisfied. Contextually we have the best chance of winning a premiership in almost 6 decades. So I won’t be happy walking away with a participation ribbon. 
 

Don’t celebrate ‘almost’.

 

One can never be satisfied losing to Geelong 


At half time during the last cats game im pretty sure i would have said yes.

But becoming minor premiers for the first time in since 64...its a now a firm no. 

And beating the cats from being so far behind at kardinia I feel we must win tonight.

Id be satisfied to make a granny as then i feel we are improving but nobody loses them without feeling gutted.

So its to the toppermost from here.

It's a big NO.

We gotta aim to win the Premiership.

1964 was a bloody long time ago!

C'mon Demons! Break that Premiership drought!

Fingers crossed! đŸ€ž

GO DEMONS!!!

F&^& no

 

Not Satisfied. I would be heartbroken.

At least I feel very proud of where we are now as a club - but 2021 would count for nought unless we win this year and/or we don't at least maintain this level of consistency and competiveness for the next few years.

I won't be throwing the toys out of the cot if we don't win the flag this year. We've shown how far we've come this year and it will be no doubt inaccuracy rather than ability/system/talent that sees us fall short which is a good sign for future years given our list profile and talent at our disposal.

But if we then proceed to fade back into oblivion next year and beyond, well that's another story.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
