I would go every week win or lose!! Even if it hurts.

And the fact i cant go makes me want 2 go ever week more and more

People say the can accept losing i cant hurts more and more each week and i believe we can fix what happened this week and all takes is danners to pick up the lazy players and slap them in the face and then do 1 to himself!!

The game was that bad that I had to leave at half time!

I felt really sad about it cause its the first time I had ever done that. :unsure:

You could have missed the greatest goal/mark etc ever to be taken in the red and blue.

It's always worth sticking around IMO, even if it's just to watch closely a player you rate highly/don't rate at all and see how he goes.

wow, the fickle supporter tag does permeate into these boards, i didn't think anyone here wasn't passionate enough to attend for the sake of supporting the boys, even if it hurts to watch

ill support them when they come to play, but they showed no respect to us, the club or themselves, so on that basis i had no qualms on walking. 9/10 ill sit through a shlacking, but i can't tolerate it when i feel i care more than they do.

friday didn't hurt for me like other games have, it infuriated me and saw me come close to bursting an artery.

i meant people saying they won't bother next week, weeks to come etc. it is times like this that our most passionate supporters stay tough, because if we don't the average dees 'snow bunny' has no chance, and our standing in the media and the football world will deteriorate even further.

i personally don't leave early, but can udnerstand why people do, and it's fair enough if you feel let down by what the players provide for you, but if you don't go every week through whatever, you miss wins like the crows game, or the tigers, blues in 97

Well I had a prior commitment so I didnt get to the game until half time and I met a lot of Melbourne supporters on my way to the ground. I do not applaude you leaving at half time, we have been losing by worse margins than Friday night at half time and I have stuck around to watch that train wreck I do not understand the point of leaving nor do I condone it

I have supported this club for too long not to expect performances like what was dished up on friday evening...

There was a sense all week that Richmond was a chance but looked at match ups and thought we looked pretty good...

However, you cannot beat spirit and passion - something which our players played without!!

there was no pride in their performance whatsoever...

The second quarter was possibly the worst quarter of football that a demon team has played in a long long time!! no manning up, kicking over players heads, no hard running, no clearances, lack of hard ball gets...

where has the team of 2004, 2005, 2006 gone???

i stayed for the entire game and supported, some with sarcasm and some with passion - such as matthew bate's continuing good form!!

seriously though, as soon as we stop accepting mediocrity and tripe that was dished up on friday evening and demanding performances week in week out such as those against adelaide and the filth, then we will be a better club!!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
