I may as well be. 

 

Anyways, you didn’t answer my questions. 

I have been a Demon since 1969

An MCC Member since 1992

MFC Member since 2000

I told you of serious problems last year, which you chose not to believe 

I am waiting to see change inside the walls of The MFC

    I think if we had our 2023 form in this year we would have smoked the comp outside of Sydney. 
    Unfortunately we have had the year from hell and still somehow almost made finals and lost so many close games.
    Really only 3-4 games were not acceptable.  The extra month off will do us good, get everyone healthy and well rested. 
    We bounce back next year and make top 4.

    This is how I read every post of yours. Not everything you say needs to sound so profound. Geez Louise, relax a little, bro. 😅

    I don’t know why you have to (yet again) remind everyone of how long you’ve held memberships. Do you feel this gives your opinions more credence?

    Here's what the numbers tell us (so far)

    Optimists 52.63% (1-3 years)

    Pessimists 39.47% (7-10+ years)

    Realists 7.90% (4-5 years) 

    That's about the usual type ratio on Demonland

    The Pessimists vs the Optimists with the realists rarely heard from

    My guess is 3 to 5 years

    The club is run well these days. 100% better than 10 years ago

    I don't think we'll have to wait another 6 decades

    I'm confident we can win one in the next 15-20 years but it's impossible to say at what point

    Life on Earth is expected to die in 1.3 billion years. Better win one before then.

    If you are referring to the collision with Andromeda, that's about 5B. years.

    I think the balance of the list is off and would expect a pretty steady decline from May/Gawn/Viney.

    Guess I am a pessimist

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
