You’re not a Melbourne supporter. A true Melbourne supporter would never, ever celebrate a loss, no matter the reason.

Lawyers, Guns and Money would disagree Ghosty. I KNOW what ur saying, but let me ask you this? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, or do the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many? If greater good occurs because of something which is not, is that not a good outcome, depending of course on the long term success of the negative action! Over to you Ghosty!

I want Goodwin gone as much as anyone but this is Essendon.
One of the absolute must win games of the season.
The knives can wait .... For a couple weeks.

If we lose this week I will CELEBRATE because it will mean Simon will be closer to the AXE

CELEBRATE is too strong a word but it might be one week closer to a new direction that these players and supporters desperately need.

Yes Celebrate WAS too strong a word um maybe ambivalent might be better!

Nah, reckon we win win this one. I hate Essendon, never forget 2000.


………. be very, very glum throughout the long drive back from Adelaide to Canberra.

Continue to love and support the best sporting club in the world, while simultaneously multi-tasking the following:

  1. driving my family to distraction via yelling, moaning and head rubbing

  2. being physically restrained from throwing assorted remote controls at the large TV screen.

  3. typing furiously on Demonland to express my rage, disappointment , self-inflated opinions, and frustration.

Sums up my 2025 experience really.

I hear ya DOF. The inaugural Gather Round, I went by car, only stopped once, got to Adelaide, parked the car, arrived just before the first bounce, sat in the heavy, nonstop rain watching us lose to 🤮Essendon🤮, got back in the car and came straight back to Melbourne. But…

I wasn’t glum because I was with DA buddies and we don’t do glum. 😉

All good PF, BBP has expressed my sentiment perfectly. Also pleasing is that he didn’t put “of” after “strong” and yes, it does matter. 😁

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
