No, not a troll, I have had the same admiration over the pies for the last 3-4 years.

Just don't really feel the need to express my feelings (like some of the posters) for another club on a public MFC forum.

They beat us by 186 points and laughed.

The players are losing the soft label this year, so maybe it's rubbing off onto the supporters?

It's not the game plan. We need their heart, determination and sheer will power...

Bartell is the best player in the comp IMO. When the game is to be won for the cats have a look who stands up. 9 outta 10 its Bartell.

And do you think we wouldn't be laughing if we beat the Cats by 186 point?

The fact is that much of this discussion relates to the fact that what was seen in the Cats performance is what many of us would love to see in the Dees... a bit of fight and a never-say-die attitude. It is hardly soft to discuss their superb effort and how we could take a leaf out of their book (your "handbag loving" comment was very odd when you consider how hard they went into each contest)... and many on these forums appreciate good footy, not just the MFC.

A friend told me this morning that G. Ablett flew to the U.S during last year's grand final because he couldn't bear to watch Geelong playing. Does anyone else have any memories of this?

It was in the newspaper today, but I had no knowledge of it at the time.

Not sure if it's still there, but this inspirational cat was randomly featured in the official Dees vs West coast gallery on the afl website.

The caption reads:

But this is a very difficult point for some around here to understand. The "names" are largely irrelevant its how good your structures & development is ..

Yeah, imagine how much they would have won by if Bartel and Selwood had played good games.

Every time Geelong and Hawthorn used the centre corridor I cried.

Problem is you have to have the footskills to pull off the Geelong gameplan. The reason Neeld is forced to start with kick it long to a contest, force it out of bounds and hopefully win the next clearance gameplan is exactly that reason, we have poor skills. Every team would like to emulate Geelong or the Hawks, but few have the skills.

Are you sure about that? I don't think his footy philosophy is a centre-corridor attacking plan.

Caroline Wilson said this on Footy Classified on Monday when she was talking of Ablett having made a big mistake by going to Gold Coast .

Yes , she said , he can sit and count his money , but he now has regrets , particularly watching Geelong play without being there himself .

I love watching this team. Stevie J, Selwood, Menzel last year just amazing players.

I admire them more than anything. They gave us what we deserved last year.

If we can be half as good as them one day, we'll be ok.

Yip - I love watching Stevie J & Bartel - Selwood is a dead-set inspiration and I enjoy watching a few of the "lesser lights" Corey, Enright & Kelly.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
