Why are the Demons still so piss weak in 2018?

[boydogs]

They haven't beaten anyone in the top 9 all season and yet have a percentage over 130. They know how to beat up on the weaklings but always fall short of the mark against the better teams.

They remind me of our 05-10 sides. Great home & away scoring power but an inch short in the big games

If you look up Flat Track Bully in the dictionary they just have a picture of the Melbourne squad. It used to be a picture of Matthew Hayden but he learned how to use his feet to spinners so they had to find something else. Luckily MFC came along.

Melbourne have kept their missing finals hopes alive with a stunning display at the MCG. #AFLDeesSwans

Titus is always at his best when Melbourne lose the plot. My personal favourite was:

The only time Melbourne didn’t miss today was when they thrust a dagger into my heart. #AFLDeesSwans

Deep down somewhere I like to think it has something to do with Gaddy Lyon.

Don't go changing Dees.

I have a few mates/acquaintances that are long term Melbourne supporters and I would be happy for them if Melbourne achieved some success.

However, I wish no success to be associated with that former Melbourne captain.

I thought about that for a bit and I can't think of one Melbourne supporter I know. In fact I reckon that the kid who lived around the corner (I think his name was Glen) who was Harvey Merrigan's cousin is the last Melbourne supporter I knew.

Well I do know a few and I don't even ski.

My uncle and his kids are Melbourne supporters.

I have absolutely no idea how the son of post WW2 Polish immigrants turned factory workers living in Fawkner ended up barracking for Melbourne. He doesn't ski either!

For whatever reason, I've ended up with 4 of my closest mates being Melbourne supporters - and these are blokes who grew up in the West or North West, and are certainly no skiing types!

The group messages going around when Melbourne are faltering, have been highly amusing. A real love/hate relationship with their club.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Mildly satisfying if they miss the finals again, even though I do enjoy watching them play at times but given the help they have had along the way from the AFL and the Garry Lyon flog factor, it's amusing to see them consistently choke.

I would hate to be a Melbourne supporter. On talent and promise they actually should be Top 4 and in contention, but this thread title sums them up - piss weak and in danger of missing the 8 again.

Terry Wallace says it’s a curse from sacking the best coach they ever had back in the 60s,they need an exorcism apparently.

A link to an article a mate of mine wrote that talks about that very incident, https://australianfootball.com/artic...e%2Bpupil/2874

[Happy Days]

Dees are 0-5 with a percentage of 66.67% against the top 8.

So not only are they not top 8 standard, but they can't even squeeze in despite never having to play them.

[Twodogs]

After we did it in 2016 I think Melbourne think they just have to make the eight and they will cruise through 4 finals and win a flag.
