When does this team finally work out that embarrassing performances are no longer acceptable. Losing to the bombers was very very unacceptable.

I listened to Peter Jackson at the AGM where he reinforced that football is their priority and winning games of football comes first. Losing to a VFL team is appalling and some senior players should hang their heads in shame.

I was hoping to see around the corner in 2015 and get a view of a positive future. Setbacks like losing to a VFL team just make me angry at many on our list.

Being embarrassed is part of a MFC supporters lot! However, I will still keep that blind faith.

I agree Soi. Faith can only be blind after the years of heartache we have been forced to endure, and there is only one possible cure for the affliction that affects us!

I just don't get the panic after that loss. There side still had some very good players, and they were well up for it, you could see what it meant to them after the siren.

I expected a win still, but was hardly an earth shattering loss.

Interesting that when we played a strong Freo side we played very good footy. We go into the next two matches playing weakened sides where we are expected to win & we are for the most part ordinary. We all know how much footy is played above the shoulders so I for one will wait until I see how they perform in the season proper before resorting to the mass hysteria which has permeated pages of demonland forums......I mean "really" the sheer arrogance of some supporters suggesting 70 points plus wins......amazing !! we have a new forward line.....new mids....new backs and at the most they have played two ....if lucky three games together.....what did we honestly expect. Anyone who can't see the improvement must have the " negative Nellie" blinkers on. It will happen but obviously not as quickly as we would like .....in saying that....it could also happen a lot quicker.

Should there be a MFCSS thread where all the whinging etc get kept to only one thread, and any posts that should be in there are moved from other threads to keep things constructive? It would save the first page of the board being filled up with 'why do we suck/who is to blame' etc of which there is always plenty.

I agree.

What also annoys me Clint is that when people are agitated and annoyed about what's happening they feel the need to start a thread about it, rather than either posting it in the post match thread or in any of the other similar threads that have already been started.

It is never where you think the Corner is butterfly, and I never could understand what the hell does unacceptable means and what can be done about it? What sack the whole team, sack the coach? Every one sees the corner differently, and some times you go back past the corner, and sometimes you go forward past a corner, and some times you never go past the corner. There is a time to win and there time to lose.

I'm just up the road from you NAA, can I get some of whatever it is you had with your coffee? I was reading about your corners and now I find I am shltting myself not knowing what the corners in my office are doing.

A time to sow, a time to reap, and a time to fall asleep at the wheel of your combine harvester after a 15 hour day and a bottle of Jack, and mince up your neighbour, his wife, their brood of kids and a kelpie called Max.

I think I read that in the bible somewhere.

Yes my children the corner can seem faraway, there is a time to fall off a ramp with a 70 kg beef hindquarter on your back and tear my ankle ligaments, the corners are very far away.

The only corner I know is inhabited by a black dog.

I try to avoid it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
