Dawes In And We Still Cop It

Featured Replies

 

I am really looking forward to the day we are back where we belong, i am going to give so many people hell!

If you want to post [censored] sources/articles from websites we've never heard of, go here

 

The club has a food news story with Chris Dawes playing his first game for the Dees. He gets interviewed and is pumped for the occasion as I am. Then this happens: http://www.thepeptalk.com.au/the-crap-i-put-up-with-barracking-for-melbourne/

Who else is copping it from every angle?

Nothin' like a good, 'food news' story !!!

especially when 'Bruce' reckons its Deelish...

{"I saw blood!"

"Then I told him that he can’t spell (check ‘entraining’ not entertaining’) and get stuffed!"}

.


First world problems...

I enjoyed giving the Pies [censored] when balls where bouncing off his chest last year.
Opposition supporters will enjoy doing the same thing whilst he plays for us.

Glasses of concrete all 'round.

Uh . . . question. Who the hell is this guy and why should we care what he thinks?

Ah me, a supporter and member like you. Just because I don't post as often as you doesn't mean I can share my experiences. A little bit of respect for a fellow supporter would be appreciated the same way you would like it.

So you put up an ad for your own blog? Why not just post the damn thing on this website? Usually when people link to other websites, they are linking to the Herald Sun or the Age or a reputable news outlet, not their own blogs.

 

No offence, but surely a lifetime of being on the receiving end of stuff such as this has hardened you up, just a little?

I'm not here to cause any problems and next time I will post the full article on Demonland. This happened today and I was just sharing it with everyone. Thank you for your supporting comments. Go Dees.

It has but sometimes.......ARGH!

Nothing wrong with that article, he is just another fed up Demons supporter and rightfully so.

What we are copping this year shouldn't be acceptable.

Thanks. That was all I was wanted to express was the frustration. The Bulldogs are getting off scott free.

We're 'copping it' because one guy writes a bit of a rant on some small-time website..?

You should have just linked to one of the posts on Demonland.

You seriously think all Bulldogs fans are happy with how they're travelling? Take a look at some other forums to see how wrong that is.

PS. I'm sure you'll find Bombers fans giving it to their players after tonight's game.

More of a comparison. We have had all the media attention due to out poor record but the Dogs have one more victory over the same time. It was more about getting some good news from the club and then getting smashed by supporters from other teams. I could have linked to other posts but it was my experience which is like the ones others have written about.


I reckon this sums it up pretty well:

Melbourne 56.1%

Bulldogs 72.8%

We've been disgustingly bad. Furthermore, we've been rubbish for longer than the Bulldogs. We also just sacked our CEO. Why shouldn't we get more negative attention?

As an aside, the coverage of us post-Carlton was fairly positive re: our effort, despite the fact that we got pounded by 10 goals.

Why worry about other supporters when you can come on here for a pounding from your own.

Its seriously disgraceful the way we eat our own on here.

We all cop it enough without the crap our own give each other.

On top of that many here are happy to put their opinion up as fact but when a guy puts up how bad he feels as we all do we lay into him???

Stick together and look after each other should be our mantra right now, we need each other for support and therapy if nothing else!!

All clubs supporters "eat their own" when the team is going badly. It's a function of the emotional investment people put in their footy teams. It's great that you have the emotional control not to get angry or upset or want to lash out, but don't carry on as if getting narky with each other or getting narky with the club when it is down is unique to Melbourne. It's not.

Totally agree. We as supporters are easy targets from other teams. If there is one place to stick together it is here in this forum.

Not sure where I said it is uncommon or unique to Melbourne....

I agree with your statement others are the same. Of course this is symptomatic of any team that is performing poorly and disfunctional.

I propose that for once we are not like every other team of supporters because of the way we look after each other when things aren't great. Let's face it the problem with Melbourne is as much to do with the fractures within the club and we see similar cultural symptoms play out here. What if we were different and recognised for the positives about the supporter base?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion no doubt, but it is of course how it is expressed and conveyed that can make all the difference.

I would suggest as supporters we must live and breathe for the club and each other rather than being the same as 'the rest'.

So you put up an ad for your own blog? Why not just post the damn thing on this website? Usually when people link to other websites, they are linking to the Herald Sun or the Age or a reputable news outlet, not their own blogs.

Who gives a crap? Did it really have that big an effect on your life that you need to crack the sads about it? Just close the browser window and leave the thread if you don't like it, it's not like it was a spam link for weight loss pills or something.

I think that when 300 supporters turn up to training which occurred a couple of weeks ago.....Things are not as bad as they seem......

Spot on. It's like there is a subsection here on the 'Land who are lurking behind their keyboards, ready to rubbish anybody who posts here for the first time. I'm a big boy and can take as good as I give but if you were a younger supporter, you would wonder what kind of club you are supporting.

I'm not trying to have a go at the OP, but honestly my reaction would've been to laugh and tell the culprit to [censored] off. I was unaware people took footy humour so personally.

Dawes especially was always going to be a target before he'd even worn the red and blue. The footy world is sceptical of him as the big off-season signing, and perhaps with good reason. It's no certainty that he can produce his 2010-11 form. We just have to hope that he can.

  • 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.
