Thank you Demonland and all posters I am addicted and enjoy reading through most threads there is so much footy knowledge and information on this great site that I no longer buy a newspaper as the info on this site is more reliable less sensationalised and gets down to the grass roots level, that I enjoy and this type of knowledge, insights and information just isn’t available on commercial press. Also a big call out to DD, LH and DC I closely follow stats, list management and membership status and you all do such a great job.β€οΈπŸ’™πŸ’•

Shouldn't that be bending over forward for you? I'm so going to cop it from WCW for this.

Follow Goodwin's presser response, W - 'we won't be looking back' - and stay here with the several forwards-looking threads 😊

forward needs to be the operative word.

I hoped nobody noticed that. Apparently if you wear devil horns out there you’re fair game. I discovered this after the event. 😩

Hang on a minute! I never saw this. When in the game did this occur?

You obviously missed my gameday post, then! My, those screens are BIG!

Right??? And that cameraman simply wouldn’t go away. I asked him nicely to not film me but that only made him more determined. I should’ve learned my lesson earlier in the year when I hugged Checker (our mascot) and that same cameraman almost tripped over himself to get close enough to film it. πŸ˜‘

It never happened! I was never on the big screen for an inordinate length of time, likely singing and dancing like an eejit.

Incidentally, we’re never allowed to leave our bay and we have to continue chanting and cheering and waving giant heads even when a loss is inevitable. My problem is that I cry at every loss. So, I’ve been granted special permission to hide from the cameras after a loss lest I become a meme. It’s happened to a couple of our members and they warned me that it’s never lived down. And so, THBT, you can stick your gif idea where the sun don’t shine. k? K.

Very smart to hide, WCW!Β  My friend from work made a gif of me shaking my head in disappointment at one of our losses and it's now become a meme amongst my friends and at work πŸ₯²

I always remember the poor bloke after the Essendon loss in 2013. I still see him quite often at games.

That’s Duxy. He has rued that vision since the day it was filmed.

And this young bloke is a good friend of mine who was captured crying tears of joy after a win and has been a meme for years. The Front Bar has tried several times to get him on the show but he’s not having a bar of it. And I don’t blame him.

Duxy shouldn't be ashamed of that vision. It spoke volumes and was what we were all feeling at the time.

Well, he says he doesn’t like it but I’m a bit suss about that because he loves the camera nowadays. Never shies away from a camera does our Duxy.Β

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.Β  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.Β  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.Β  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.Β

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
