It has everything to do with the fact that when you go on tirades about "just going out to win" and "not accepting mediocrity," you are not facing up to reality.

Are you saying that Hawthorn's attitude of bottoming out, before then becoming a competitive side step by step had nothing to do with them winning the Premiership? How can you say "the Hawks teams of the 80's expected to win, and did" (notwithstanding the quality of their list compared to ours) and then ignore the pathetic state their club was in as recently as the 2006 season?

Honestly, i feel like it is a mediocre viewpoint. This attitude of "oh, the club just doesn't try to win enough" does not say to me that you have any grasp of the problems at the club, on or off the field. It is childlike in its simplicity and it does not apply to modern day footy.

I was talking about the Hawks attitude in the '80's. I did not mention anything about the 21st century. You did that. Don't change my words

So if you're admitting the attitude of the 80's is different to the 21st Century, why would you bring it up?

Because they were absolutely Ruthless for about 20 years thats why i bring it up 1971-1991 As Much as i Hate Them Hawthorn were just in your face everyday.

That is the attitude i want the MFC to get to. I hope Stynesy is in charge when it happens.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
