Hell Dr where did you get my photo?

Haha, I just googled "pessimistic old Melbourne supporter" and it was the first result.

You really should have it as your avatar ;)

    1. Who are you, and what have you done with Old Dee? :blink::blink:

    2. Replace it with Winnie the Pooh, of course!

    Not sure if this has been mentioned - Tommy Mc has been nominated for 'Goal of the Year'!

    A bit of a surprise but it was an exciting goal.

    Jack Watts can share the credit for the beautiful way he got the ball to Tommy.

    Well done to TMc!

    A quote from Howe that made me sit bolt upright~

    “It’s not something you look into, but the last effort that led up to that Montagna goal wasn’t good enough. Even if we had numbers behind the ball, like we should’ve in the first place, there was every chance they still would’ve kicked it. Honest but what an indictment on the team!

    Then I realised he was right!

    The terrible effort, lack of support to Toumpas and lack of desperation by Viney, Cross, Lumumba, McD, Dunn and others which let StK stroll the ball forward into an unguarded goal square and yes they would have still kicked it.

    And if 'its not something you look into' how on earth are they going to learn from it. That line scares me a little.

    Yes, it may be for public consumption but I would prefer he didn't say it at all.

    Even if they didn't know the clock you don't just let a team walk their way to an unguarded goal at any stage of the match!

    The players got what they deserved.

    Sadly its us supporters that keep suffering.

    I saw that quote from Howe as more of a cop outt, saying they could have kicked the goal anyway. The fact is they wouldn't have if extra numbers were back and Jones was at the centre bounce.

    I'm sure it's something the coaching staff look into with the players though. It's not something that will be neglected..

    That just says Howe is defeatist. What a horrible attitude to have. If we got a first rounder for him we'd be laughing.

    Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised by your optimism ... long may it last!

    Contrary to popular opinion R and B I am a very optimistic person.

    It is just the mighty MFC that turns my nature.

    It has only taken about 48 years to not expect a lot from the MFC that has produced my pessimism around the MFC.

    So I guess I spend 90% of my life optimistic not a bad result I would have thought.

    No point dissecting every word and doing in-depth analyses of off-the-cuff remarks.

    I just take it as he meant that it wasn't something that you dwell on. It's clear that it has and will form a major part of the review of the match. But as always, another match rolls round in a week, you learn from it, you move on.

    I always suspected that Miserable Old Coot is just a game you play with us.

    Oh Please, Jeremy is the last person who should be talking like that, his effort levels have been all over the place this year, if he had imposed himself on that game before the dying minutes it would have been irrelevant.

    what negative rubbish.

    normally I hat nitpicking the words of players in the media, but this one is a stinker. 'We will be examining what went wrong to ensure it never happens again' or something along those lines, would have been the appropriate comment

    So today's the day, I'm finally over what happened last sunday.

    Lets bring on Sunday against the cats!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
