    NO. That says more about the supporter base than the club. Shocking post.

    It may be the only way to send a message to the club that this mismanagement and poor performances should not be tolerated. I know it’s extreme, but it’s worth considering how not many will show up anyway.

    The trouble is, when you start these things there is no controlling which way the wrecking ball swings.

    You can lose Dean Bailey and keep Cameron Schwab, for example.

    Shouldn't we support the club through thick and thin?

    I know we should, and we have. But I’m conflicted, and its my opinion it’s ridiculous how this poor management and performance has kept getting worse and being not dealt with. I’ll still be watching on TV but I can’t put myself through another game there for now

    The problem is defining what the ‘club’ actually is. No-one is saying you abandon your association with the Demons.

    But we are dealing with a situation where a self-serving board of insiders can’t even establish decision making leadership (they are all interim) and the senior coach is beyond redemption but no-one with authority will deal with that.

    Meanwhile, the membership diminishes and our credibility for future trades diminishes.

    That is why I am staying home again next week. We are being scammed by a few self-interested individuals that have ‘taken over’ our club who won’t take responsibility for the train wreck they have created.

    This is exactly what I meant by my boycott. It’s not a temper tantrum I’m giving up on my team, I’m rusted on to the Dees. I’m boycotting because I care about my team, to make necessary changes that should have already been made.

    LOL! As if any [censored] who throw a little boycott tantrum would have turned up anyway.

    I have been a member since I was 5. I was genuinely going to go next week, as the game doesn’t fall during my work hours for once. I’m not knocking on anyone that does go, I just don’t want my team to bottom out and become a basket case again for years.

    Dear JTR I don’t know your personal circumstances but I doubt that many members (if any) have travelled as far and as often and laid as much air flight dollars and hotel expenses as I have over many decades - year-in and year-out - to support the Demons every week.

    So show some respect to those who are at wits end and propose civic action to put pressure on the management who have overseen this train wreck but refuse to take responsibility.

    I’ll be there! What’s the point of not going? I’ve already paid for my Trident membership, and I’m interested to watch from level 2 at Marvel.

    I was disappointed today, hugely, but is it more disappointing than the second semi in ‘23, or the Prelim in ‘87? If I can survive those I can survive anything.

    I respect that, especially for people who have paid for memberships and tickets.

    2023 we knew we would be back the following season.

    Today is very different, the club is going down like the Titanic. If nothing is done to fix this (no matter who has to go) then you would be looking at 6 years in the wilderness. Losing most of our talented young guns in a couple of years.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
