Even after all that has happened and an 0-3 start, I'll still be there next Sunday...

Wow that's wrong with our supporters, if things aren't going right for us, they boycott the team...

Its fans like you that seem to revel in the club performing poorly. "Oh, the team is playing badly, so I'm not gonna go. They can bugger off". That is fair weather supporting, and it stinks. If you support a club, and indeed are a member of them, you turn up to their games and scream your support for them. Anything less is criminal, no matter what the state of the team.

Ill be there

backs to the wall stuff..

and our first win of the season coming up

thats exactly right......

I think a few of you members in Victoria take going to most games for granted - win, lose or draw! What about us up here in QLD who get to see the boys once or maybe twice a year? I'd kill to see all the games at the G or anywhere else in Melbourne! Get to the ground and get the boys home for their first win! Someone needs to stay on board! I know I will!

I'll be there, i consider myself a tragic supporter who just comes back for more. But mostly i think about how i stuck with them through the times of 97, 99, 01, and 03 :( and although i don't think it made a huge difference on the field, i know they must've appreciated any support they could get.

NO Headland, no Carr - starting to balance up - we just need a severe bout of gastro to go through the Dockers and we will be right!!!!!

If we can't win this week - remember the Saints made the GF after being zip and 4 in '97 - oh, but then they lost to the Crows........:-(

what goes around comes around .

But when will the ultimate good come around to us!?

As you say though, you can have good without the bad, hopefully the good won't be too far away.

Go hard or go home. I am one to not lie. I could have said "oh course im going" but i remain truthfull. I am guttered with the team and offered to go if i see some young kids but playing players out of form is just sheer stupidity and i will not stand for it as a supporter. I have paid for my membership so melb have lost nothin...i guess spotless catering have but thats it. Im no different to thoes who leave at half time and trust me many did on sunday. I like 1.5 hrs from the g so get over yourself and realise i am a supporter - both finantually and non financially

Oh and one more thing. At least im not attacking a 2nd AFL year player in Bate. Get over yourself

l love the club and l will be their .

just sit back and wait their is light a the end of the tunnel.

what goes around comes around .

I'll be there in the Redlegs section behind the goals AS ALWAYS. I couldn't live with the thought of Melbourne winning & I wasn't there.

Count me in too....same area ...Redlegs level 1 behind the goals.

Did I hit a nerve?

Two things -

1. Not having a go at you personally, apologise if I insinuated that. But your point about the fact that the club loses nothing by your not being there is a mute point. If 5,000 supporters share your attitude, then the club loses support on the day. Imagine you play your heart out for the team, and look around the ground and see 15,000 instead of 20,000. It makes a difference. Your policy on the young kids is another silly point. The season is not lost at 0-3 as we saw last year. To call for the team to just give up at this stage of the year is wrong.

2. I have never "attacked" Matty Bate. I stated that his confidence seems to be down and that his form probably doesn't warrant him being in the team. I don't think too many people would disagree with that.

I can't believe you guys are even debating on being there or not.....they are our team and we as supporters have a duty to support them through each of the hurdles and also the joys of victory. I can tell you I have sat through much worse in the years 1996 and 1997....try fighting off a merger....losing match after match....

I'll be there on sunday as I have been for many years. It's just a mattar of time before we notch up our first win and charge towards the top end of the table.

I think we'll turn it around on Sunday....C'mon guys, get there and support these guys.

Go Dees.

One of the great stupid posts. Well done Boy, and 'boy' is the key word.

Grow up. We're all disappointed with what's happened but what's the point of your post?

Have you actually got anything constructive to say or do you simply want to see your name in lights and get responses from more informed posters than yourself.

Until you make an observation worth considering your opinion is fool's gold and a waste of cyber space.

Yep I'll be there too! Life is not just about choosing the good times but walking the journey through the ups and downs. True blue!

Mind you it does feel good when we win and an empty feeling when we lose. I see my role as a supporter is to be there for the team- the support crew in the outer.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
