"Culture" & Watts' post match press conference

Featured Replies

The most honest response I've heard out of the club for a long while.

'All the crap'

'Losing all the time'

Sounds like a sick club to me. Again, honour before honours. No more bugle playing, no more blazers, no more glorious history. If the club doesn't focus on the here and now we will die. Plenty of posters on here have raised the issue of culture, and others have said it's all crap. I am with those worried about culture. I want to know how a board could let junior be treated like that, how could they let cs run off at the mouth on white board Wednesday, how could they let "the way to success is through draft picks" (thus tanking) become part of our culture, how could they so grossly mis-manage the time around 186. How dare the president have a go at the supporters - I was there until the end today, Don - where was the team???

This is really deep and serious, and I am worried for the future of the Club I have followed since I saw them win a flag in 64. Bring back Jim Cardwell.

 

Speaking of blazers Trengove was on mmm pre game and was wearing his blazer because they all said to him how he looked like a school boy.

I can't fathom how Watts can say the preseason has been "A-grade" when we were roundly beaten in most of the games we played. Strange.

 

Sorry, what did McLardy say? Must have missed that in all of this.

And I love the way Watts looks so devestated and hurt after that performance, but mate, if it hurts that bad, and if you need someone to stand up, how hard is it to just [censored] do something, anything. And if you didn't stand up this week, and you haven't done it in the past, chances are you won't next week and the week after. As the not so great Dr Phil says, 'the best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour'.

Wattsy sounded pretty honest about halfway through there, talking about the crap we've been through. He's really speechless, and it's not the normal kind of footy cliches you usually hear. Hopefully something does change, because I and a lot of other Demon faithful are THIS close to just moving on with our lives.

We don't get paid to sit through this shite, and the players need to start giving us something pretty goddamn soon.


I agree Frankie d. Please remove all memories of past glories.

For 50 years we have achieved nothing.

Now do something about it.

Wayne Carey on mmm

"They dress like AFL footballers, look like AFL footballers, but don't play anything like one.
I've never been as disappointed in a team."

I think he summed it up well.

Well said Jack

And I've hated those [censored] blazers since they appeared.

 

How about, Jack, you farken do something about it on the field rather than grab 4 disposals as a loose man in defence. Ffs giving him praise is a laugh. Don't say or think just DO!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
