G'day Fellow Demons Supporters! I seriously think we should try and move heaven and earth to snare Jonathan Brown from the Brisbane Lions. Stuff the filthy Magpies trying to get him! :angry: Imagine what a coup for the MFC it would be if we had Jonothan Brown playing for us next year?! Better the Chri$ Judd(ollars) who decided to "rub salt into the wound" for Carlton against us yesterday! <_< Anyways, I'm not saying that we will get him..but we should atleast TRY to get him! From Supreme_Demon

Cranbourne isn't that far away for me. About the same travel time as going to the MCG. I can't wait for the Demons to set up a Summer training base at Casey Fields!

I say we take a chance. He has more to lose than us.

I found this link today on the MFC website: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/D...px?newsid=57382 I'm looking forward to seeing Austin being given a go in this match for the Demons! I just hope he's not too traumatised after the match... GOOD LUCK AUSSIE! :D

I'm glad if Dean Bailey is giving the Melbourne players hell! They deserve to be given a HARSH reality check! <_< The ENTIRE playing group need to harden up! :angry:

Just get in contact with the MFC via the official website. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Membership/C...21/default.aspx All the best!

Yes I've been a MFC member for about 9 - 10 years.

It's a little bit harsh to swear at the players walking off the ground. You can say they put in a pathetic effort. But don't swear...that sinks to the level of Richmond and Collingwood scum. Although it must be pointed out that quite a few of the MFC players DO get paid ALOT! So perhaps they deserve it when they play so poorly? Thats for the individual to decide. Not that I'm an "angel" when it comes to swearing. In fact, I'm probably the worst! But that doesn't mean its the right thing to do. You just get angry and upset during the game. Remember that disgraceful so-called Richmond supporter who actually spat at the Richmond players/coaching staff a few years ago? I'm waiting to read in the papers when Cameron Bruce encounters Yze_Magic as he walks up the players race one day!

I'd like to see a bit of heart. If your getting belted by nearly a 100 points why not....?? If you can't win the match at least try and win a fight. Show a bit of passion and aggression! At the moment our players couldn't punch their ways out of a wet paper bag!

I hope the MFC players see this and feel ashamed of themselves. I can't believe those odds! How embarrassing!

I am going to give Dean Bailey the chance to prove himself. What is the point of a knee-jerk reaction against a first year coach? This time its the players who are to blame! <_< It will be interesting to see what happens in Round 7. I just hope we actually WIN a few games before then.

I'm actually going to buy my brother's their MFC memberships for their Birthday this week! :D Crazy I know, but I'm guessing the membership department won't be very busy....

Ironically we are playing against the team (The Casey Scorpions) who we will probably be aligned with next year. Whats the point of having our "reserve" MFC players in a Sandringham side when our NEW Summer training base will be at Casey Fields? Sandringham has been fantastic for the MFC and vice versa but it will soon be coming to an end...

I really hate losing! :angry: But....if all of this short term pain will mean a PREMIERSHIP in the future then I think it will be worth it. The players need to change their attitude and LISTEN to what Dean Bailey has to say. Most importantly we need to RAISE our skill level! How few of our players can actually hit a target? We are excited about Cale Morton because he actually CAN! The rest are sorely lacking. These problems will take a while to fix but I'm hoping by the end of the season the players will have improved enough to actually WIN a few games. I see light at the end of the tunnel......................... B)

Garry Lyon isn't to blame. He's been trying to HELP the MFC! :angry: The poor bloke is going to cop it big time on "The Footy Show" this week! If anybody is to blame its the players! They don't LISTEN to what the coach tells them and have a very poor attitude! They need to starting shaping up and WINNING some games! Otherwise, there will be the AFL record for the most number of player delisted from a club (Melbourne) in a season, at the end of this year! <_<

NO MERGER!!! We shouldn't be bringing up ghosts from the past! The Melbourne Demons will never merge or relocate! Those who suggested a merger should have realised they were wrong and that it would NEVER happen! ALL Melbourne supporters need to get behind the club and support it! GO DEMONS!!! LET'S SMASH THE BULLDOGS!!! :angry:

As long as Paul Gardner is the MFC chairman I will support him. Nevertheless I would like to see somebody with wealth and a lot of influence in the "top end of town" to take over as next MFC chairman. That is why I would support somebody like Ron Walker taking over IF Paul Gardner decided to step down. Jim Stynes would be a good idea too. But I think he would be better suited as a board-member than as a chairman. Garry Lyon could be either a board-member or the next MFC chairman. But that is his decision. His co-worker on "The Footy Show" and Triple M radio, James Brayshaw is President of the Kangaroos so I don't know why Garry can't follow suit? We need more people in the media to be BIAS, one-eyed Melbourne supporters! Eddie and James can do it for their clubs! Why can't we? I hope that MORE former players put their hand up to help the MFC. People like Stan Alves, and other former great MFC players should be helping out more too in my opinion.

This is absolutely FANTASTIC news! I was one of the main people that supported this idea and I am really looking forward to the Demons gaining a foothold in this "growth corridor" of Melbourne! The opportunities are enormous with the amount of young families in the area. And when children are in their primary school age it is when they are most likely to choose their football team (unless their parents influence them!). Now all the Demons need to do is start to WIN games! For those who are interested in learning more about Casey Fields here is their website: http://www.casey.vic.gov.au/caseyfields/

G'day Fellow Demons Supporters! The latest article on the Demons website is rather interesting. Here's the link: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/D...px?newsid=56809 I think James McDonald makes some good points. The players were under Neale Daniher's game plane for about 10 years so it was hard to just change to Dean Bailey's game plan so quickly. Either way, its still not an excuse. I just hope the players WIN for Macca in his 200th game for the MFC on the weekend against the Bulldogs.

Well I would like to see the players (and possibly the coaching staff) give back a percentage of their pay for such a pathetic effort...but I doubt it would happen. But as the other Melbourne SUPPORTERS have said in this post you NEED to sign up Mono! Why? You may ask? Because if we don't have LOYAL supporters (who will be there through thick and thin) then as a Club the Demons will NEVER improve because we won't ever have enough money! Put your money where you mouth is Mono and SIGN UP as a Demons member!

Well hopefully he listens to what MFC members suggest.... The MFC administration has had issues in the past with not listening to the rank-and-file supporters... I hope Paul McNamee can be versatile and work on more then one focus. Besides, how can we get NEW members if we don't explore new ideas? Most (not all) of our OLD members are very fickle. M The recent posts since the loss today are proof of this. I say, try and get NEW Melbourne members by setting up a Summer training base in Cranbourne (at Casey Fields), which is a growth area and has massive potential.

I hope Dean Bailey doesn't play favourites and is "hard and just" on ALL the MFC players. If they aren't playing well...demote them. And give a kid a chance.

I agree. David Neitz always tries hard. If Melbourne ever had the type of midfield that we SHOULD have David Neitz would still be capable of kicking 100 goals. At the moment our whole team has trouble kicking goals at all...

I just want to see ALL our players put their body on the line. Throw themselve onto a kick by an opposition player. Dive onto a loose ball and take the hit. Take a mark backing into a pack Making a sheperd for a team-mate Talking to team-mates so they don't get caught with the ball. Tackle hard and in packs with team-mates. Go hard at the ball. Make an accurate pinpoint pass to a team-mate on the lead. Go in for second, third, fourth etc efforts Is that too much to ask...???

I remember a few years ago an anonymous Melbourne supporter left chicken hearts at training. There was also the time after Richmond lost (which is alot!) and an anonymous Richmond supporter dumped a whole lot of chicken manure at Punt Road Oval. Either way those sorts of messages (while unpleasant) seem to really get the players and the club's attention. Loyal members will not put up with such pathetic efforts by so-called AFL players, like this Sunday! And NO I'm not suggesting anbody should do this...
