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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
