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.

    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

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
