The problem was that the finish to our 2023 season was the beginning of our woes… the media pundits were looking for something to get their teeth stuck into, and what better than a premiership team going out in straight sets, two years on the trot. Then almost immediately, they got to feast on the Joel Smith issue, Clarrie’s off off-season, Brayshaw’s forced retirement…and that was just for starters. 
 

I’m not sure that too many of the 17 other clubs had problems that outstripped those at our club.

Collingwood have not made finals after a flag, the president has been away for half the year and has a law suit against him.

Not much being said there though.

Every year there are 17 losers. We have been consistently finished higher among the losers than most. Look n the bright side: our problems aren't as bad as most teams these past years.....

We didn't finish top 4. The season doesn't end after round 22.

It's been a successful few years relative to the 57 that came before but when you're talking highly  successful you're talking Geelong 2007-2011, Hawks 2012-2015, Richmond 2017-2020. Those are highly successful periods.

Who cares about the other clubs. This "pat on the back" mentality is what leads to decades of mediocrity.

I agree.  I wonder who seriously believes Hawthorn had a better 2018 season than us.  Finals changes everything.

I agree also that the Hawks highly successful era finished in 2015.  The 2016 and 2018 seasons were not successful seasons for them. They went out in straight sets twice.

Go Peter Lawrence - you have the full support of lots of Demons supporters as well as MFC members. 

More power to you.

Wow Cranky, that is the most positive thing you have ever written on this site. 😊

When did we turn into BomberBlitz?

Some Dees fans are so terrified of the past that they are happy with close enough is good enough. With this list close enough is not good enough. Its the same nonsense we are hearing out of the club right now. Pert and Roffey saying we didnt play finals so therefore thats not good enough, how about instead of just playing finals you [censored] win a couple????

And as if not playing finals is our only issue. Smh. 

Stop thinking about 2013 and being happy with the club just coz we arent 2013 Melbourne. Adjust your standards.

Yes, and it’s significant that those three “highly successful” recent eras were overseen by outstanding CEOs and quality boards.

It does matter.

I wish Peter Jackson had have stuck around a while longer. I was against Mahoney being given the job as his successor but seems it may have been the right move after all.

Not sure a country music singer is the best person for the review.

Now that the Power Of the Rings season 2 is completed, he might find some time?


I think an independent review would clear the air and shut the media up.

Given current lawsuits if the MFC has been named as a respondent i am not sure whether a review right now would be or could be prejudicial?? I do not know enough to be certain either way..

No wonder someone wanted to shake up the board, maybe that someone knew something that we didn’t.

They should report on the meeting between the five members of the AFLW leadership group with the CEO at the Pies in 2023. A year later four of the five were no longer at the club, I wonder if their concerns about culture were taken seriously?

Good suggestion, would love to know what that entailed. Will never happen


A lot of issues that have been swept under the rug at Melbourne and I think we should thank Deemocracy for helping to expose these issues. Peter Lawrence is one member that has put his reputation on the line to advocate for change.

We can rise up the ladder because of good selections and fall just as quickly because of poor administration, get the right people in the right positions and we will have a better chance of sustained success.

I have no connections with the club, I have explained my views about a review did you read it, all I ask is show proof of mismanagement and then I will have no problem having  a review of the board I just don't don't go believing in heresy.

 

You might want to check the wording or rephrase that remark.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
