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 ;)

But what if we start to win Dr?

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!

Love it were do you find these things?

 

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.

Now now R and B be nice

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.

That is your right Choke

but believe it or not but it is true.

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.

That is your right Choke

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

Damn, he is good at it though.

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!

I believe you, OD. Being a rusted-on Demon can do that to anyone ...

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
