Winners at last

Hmm, I think we're all speculating as to what that was all about.

I actually turned off the tv when WC hit the lead. Couldn't bear to watch such misery again. A friend then sent me a text message saying melbourne had regained the lead, so i turned the tv back on. Glad I did!!

And the free kick that should have been paid against Tyson just before half time. (lol)

Hey, I'll bet it was going right off at the Sporting Globe. Wish I had gone there to watch the match.

Bugg was terrible for Casey yesterday.

As it happens, I'll be in Sydney for the first week of the finals with my 3 kids (all Demons supporters). Hmm, I had booked to have dinner at Icebergs at Bondi on Saturday night. If Demons play in Sydney that night, looks like I'll have to cancel that booking. I've been a Demons supporter since 1968. Very pleased. However, nothing compares to the feeling at the final H+A match at the Western Oval in 1987. (I was there.) GO DEES !!!

im switching off. Game over

3 points ... 9 minutes to go..

umpires will decide htis match

tyson very lucky there.

Tyson ... you are such a moron.

why do melbourne players fall over so often?

jones... captain's point

Umpires helping Eagles big time ...

2017 ... missed the finals with 12 wins. 2018 ... currently on 12 wins. If we lose the last 2 matches, same outcome. If we miss out again, has this been an improved performance? Or the same, or worse? Higher percentage, yes. Beating the teams we should beat? Yes, for the most part. However, not pulling off any great wins (unlike last year - WC/Perth, Crows/Adelaide) is a massive difference. I know we beat Crows in Adelaide this year, but they werent flying like Crows last year. So, my view is that if the team loses both games, it has gone backwards

I did too. And I feel ashamed

I've been a supporter since 1968. (And member for many years.) I can't imagine that the Club is attracting any/many kids to be Demons supporters other than offspring of existing supporters.

And Norf not to win both their remaining matches?

I think you mean lucked in.

I loved Robbie ... My son was a friend of one of his daughters. He met Robbie, went to his house. I'm so jealous. RIP great man.

No. My parents had zero interest in football. As a little kid, I had a beanie with the colours red and blue. (Not actually a Demons beanie.) I was asked whether i followed the Demons. The simplest response was to say yes.

I''ve been a Demons supporter since 1968. Of course the current regime isn't responsible for the years of failure. However younger posters should show some compassion towards us oldies who express disappointment/anger/frustration with inept/insipid/clueless performances. It does wear you down. One of my greatest fears is that MFC is not attracting kids. Other than the offspring of existing Demons supporters. How many kids who have a choice of any team would choose MFC? Why would they?

I think they also need to deal with between the ears issues.

yes
