there will be many arguments left right and centre after tonights abysmal performance. It would have actuall ebbn bettter if we hadnt turned up...at least people might have been left guessing as to how good or bad we really are when assessed against the bottom ( previously winless ) team.

Now no one needs to gues.. we all know !!.

All those with their magical calculators who seemed to be living in la-la land thinking some lazarus like revival was upon us can we all now agree that this season is toast. Yes we may well get a few more points on the board but nothing to upset the social secretaries come september.

Ill leave the discussions as to the why's and reasons for our predicament.. but a show of hands please..

just a simpl eyeah or naye..

Season 2007 dead and buried

roll on 2008. Lets start it now.

Is 2007 dead...for me YES !!

While I agree that this year is shot to [censored] in respect to finals........

I believe that there is still a huge amount to play for, and learn, that will hopefully benefit us in the future.

Only if instead of Holland (he's great, I love him, but he's just a bloody ordinary footballer), Yze, Ward, Brown, Godfrey etc etc... we play guys like Dunn, Newton, CJ, Buckley.

If we keep playing the same side and let our future rot at Sandy, we might as well not turn up at all.

This is precisely why I don't care if Petterd or Frawley or Jones or McLean stuff up 100 times and have shocking games. They will improve, while 30 year olds who were never any good to begin with, won't. And if they don't improve, we'll find out sooner instead of later, and we'll act.

There is so much dead wood on our list, and sadly, so many highly-paid players who don't give a stuff about this club and who put in pathetic performances on a regular basis. They should be the ones punished this week.

Go on Daniher, I dare you to make a statement and drop Bruce or Green or Davey. Hell, drop Brock McLean if it teaches our players a lesson.

(Note: PLEASE DON'T DROP BROCK MCLEAN!)

For crying out loud....

THE SEASON WAS SHOT AFTER ROUND 3!!!!!!!!!

Can we agree that this is the last "is our season over" thread?!

It's been all about the small pleasures for months now... e.g. Jones, Bate, Petterd, Brock etc etc

hahahahaha i could imagine our face if you read mclaen had been dropped, i think the world would hear an almighty "WTF!"

he will continue to play the duds, has for the last 10 years and will do so until the ned of the year, he would be thinking 5-6 wins and i might have a sniff at a new contract. my dad said to me pre game that he listened to ND all week and thought he seemed really dis-interested in this weeks game, i think he was right.

He is just about the only reason I can still watch Melbourne games and not throw up.

If it wasn't for him, and another small group of youngsters, I would seriously consider giving up on this season. As it is, I go out of my way every single week to watch them, and so if McLean is not there, or if Ricky is wasted on the bench for half the match, I quite seriously flip out.

The Melbourne Football Club has taken years off my life already.

thankyou for those that participated so far..

those that addressed the intentioned question.

Finally no one is purporting that there can be any ohter motive for the rest of 'this ' season other than to use it as a springboard to next year. That in my mind means playing some otherwise questionable tactics ( posibly direct footy, if MFC can remember how ) . the playing of seemingly underving youth despite their supposed unsuitablility ant this juncture of their careers !!. The realisation that this will possibly result in theoretical less competiveness whilst a new team gels and gains in experience and stature. That translates into ...'we may not win as a result"....be a shock result huh !!.

It means more short term pain for longer term gain. Bt at least we're directing it and not simply participating as a pasenger for the rest of the season.

The MFC might also wish to take note ... you are there because we put you there.. Some may not wish to take the intent of all we ..'fickle' members for granted.

There are two ways of voting...some with their feet....some with club ballot boxes!!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.
