i dont know what is with you melbourne supporters... you seem to spend a whole lot of time trying to find someone to blame everytime something bad happens..

right now the demons biggest problem is us.. us people who are happy to rejoice when we win, but only happy to throw criticism when we lose.

stop being so bloody negative, grow up and get behind your team.... they cant do it without you!!!

and if all else fails, you can have my mantra from last year (im a bombers supporter).... the only way we can go is up!

keep the faith people

    No..the problem right now is a team that plays like a bunch of hacks ..i.e 'not-a-team' !!

    stop being so bloody negative, grow up and get behind your team.... they cant do it without you!!!

    well actually they do...you see we dont take to the ground.. they do..its ALL up to them!!

    d)and if all else fails, you can have my mantra from last year (im a bombers supporter).... the only way we can go is up!

    Ahh it must be fun being you ash! :P

    Life isn't all sunshine and lollipops unfortunately and the same goes with footy. If people put in their hard earned for a membership and their team underperforms, I think they have the right to vent their frustration...

    To be honest, with Neitz, Robbo, McLean, Pickett, Bartram and I'm sure I'm forgetting some others all out and injured, supposed superstars Trav and Davey (and Yze for that matter) in terrible form and a coach that for whatever reason refuses to employ a game plan that actually won us games last year, I'm not so sure that anything to do with us supporters is Melbourne's 'biggest problem.'

    Also, I would have thought that rejoicing with a win and getting frusturated with a loss was a perfectly natural reaction?

    And we're not at all happy when we 'throw criticism' - we're generally pretty p-ssed off! It's just so frusturating when you know how capable your side is but yet at the moment they are almost performing like that side that exists every season; that side that all the other teams see as a guaranteed win. I would usually go into a Geelong game feeling pretty good, pretty confident but this week, I'm a bit scared to say the least.

    I sat there today amongst some Hawthorn supporters (who really were very sore winners <_< ) and considered that either we will step up in the next few games and shrug off these first two games as total rubbish and not even a snicker of a showcase of how much of a strong, talented side we really are OR perhaps this won't be our year at all. Yes, it's early in the season but how can one not be discouraged by what we're seeing (as in the gameplan), who's out injured, etc etc?

    It might not sound like it (!) but I still am 'keeping the faith', as you say and I'm just very anxious, as are we all, to see what the next few rounds will bring.

    But anyhow, I suspect things look a bit different all the way from the top of the ladder, hey Ash ;)

    lol.. i dont think we'll be there come round 22... this is just the beginning of a long season, and a lot can change in 20 weeks. i wasn't meaning any of what i said as a massive criticism, and i understand that when you're team loses you need to vent, but i honestly think yesterday was a positive (injuries aside). compared to round 1 when the team just laid down and let the saints run away with it, we saw some fight from our second teir players which is fantastic!

    i just thought that some positivety around here wouldn't kill anyone. :)

    I dunno Ash. What the team needs is respect in order to facilitate confidence. Not unconditional love. Respect, like trust, is earned... and even the demon players would probably agree they've not earned our respect. We'll win games this year, of course we will. But to what end is the frustrating thing...

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • 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?
