The only way to shut them all up is win the bloody game

STOP SAYING WE DO NOT NEED TO WIN TO GAIN RESPECT.

WE DO NEED TO WIN.

HONOURABLE LOSSES ARE JUST THAT.

THE OTHER TEAM WIN.

THE MFC HAS BECOME SECOND RATE BECAUSE WE COLLECTIVELY DO NOT DEMAND ENOUGH. ALL OF US.

GET IT IN YOUR HEAD. WINNING.

Collingwood are aiming at 80,000 members in 2013.

Consistently up there. Neeld was there in 2010 thankfully.

I hate honourable losses when people pat you on the back and say sorry.

Those of you at the 87 Prelim know what i mean.

We must expect that our players can win when they cross the white line.

Hallelujah to that wyl

I have been banging about this for so long I cannot remember when I started.

There is no such think as an honourable loss.

It is just a bloody loss.

This attitude has kept us down for the better part of 50 years.

Do Hawthorn , Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton have honourable losses?

Of course not they hate every loss with a vengeance.

Until we do we are not going anywhere.

Win that is all that counts.

    We are going to have to put in a season chock-full of 4 qtr efforts.

    But that is just for me to be happy.

    WGAF about what McFarlane, Robinson, and the rest of the herd think?

    Right now it is difficult to put up an argument proving them wrong.

    I will say it again, with all due respect, that the journey to regaining respect does not require us to win every game, it does require us to play like we want to win every week but when we finally realise that is what is required week in week out we will be winning more often than losing anyway.

    I do not accept losing,I do demand a winning mentality but I'm also realistic enough to know that this type of culture takes longer than a preseason to grow.

    This season I demand that we play every game like it's our last and win,lose or draw we never give it up or not go 100% this is what grows respect amongst your peers, and that is what counts, not to be respected by morally bankrupt morons like Denham,Wilson etc.

    If we can do that this year we will finish above everyone we should and be competitive against everyone else, I expect a finish about 12th with 8-10 wins and set us up for a huge leap forward in the seasons after.

    Surely if we could flick on the win switch we would already have done so, but I truly feel our day is coming and is not as far away as some may think.

    I agree T34 with the bold comment above

    It also requires to not except that a loss is nothing more than that.

    For way too long we have patted ourselves on the back when we lose to Collingwood by 1 point.

    We may have as well lost by 5 goals because we did not win.

    Except nothing but winning anything else does not cut it.

    And as you say when we do that it will shut up all the smart arse's in the Media

    I don't like losses. Personally I try to avoid them.

    But don't tell me that all wins and losses are created equal.

    This group is coming from so far back that if we take a small step forward (or a large one) but we happen to lose that it becomes an irrelevance simply because we did not win.

    I want us to fight hard for four quarters for a change, and if that happens and we still get beat. I will lament another loss but I will take something from that and you should to.

    You want a good culture?

    Realise where we are coming from and notice the positives when they arrive. Reinforce them. Don't spurn them on the result.

    That's it. That's my spiel. You don't have to like it, but you can be sure that that is the ethos Neeld and Craig will be pushing in our journey back to relevance so you may aswell accept it.

    Agree with what you say 'rpfc' but we will get not respect or shut up the media until we start to win games. I think we need to stick fat with Neeld, Craig, Misson and co...as you say, we are coming from a fair way back. Just maybe we are a bit further advanced than some think and we will get enough wins to stick it up a few people. Pity Denham reneged on his pledge to walk from Melbourne to Perth if we won more than 5 games, he's now on the trek from SEN to South Melbourne, pretty weak effort.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
