Haha despite the fact it was never an actual offer, the actual comment was I would join him in the back of a police vehicle after I had picked myself up from the gutter outside the cricketer's...

Your denial is understandable stuie. Never mind. 

If we beat Norf, I'll scratch my head in disbelief,  kick my heals in the air and stop to smell the roses, because as a Melbourne supporter we don't get to do that often enough.

Probably good that we got this loss out of the way, in past years we left bad loses to weaker opponents to later in the year (GWS in 2014, Carlton last year).

Still, I can't see us getting within 5-6 goals of North after last week.

I'd actually be really [censored] off if they win.

But they won't. These funks tend to last 2-3 weeks. I seriously would not be surprised if it's 80+ point loss.

Anyway, what will I do if they win? Probably nothing. I don't trust them after a win anymore. It would seriously infuriate me.

It would the first of the very many steps required by this club, which I love and have loved for decades, to regain any semblance of my respect (though I am now quite unsure if they actually care, to be honest)

After Saturday it is a very very long road.  

Pity nobody in charge reads these fora.

Finally get to enjoy the sweet taste of beating my most hated team. Literally every North supporter I know is a massive [censored], including my now ex boss. 

I literally want to beat North more than any other side, and yet this never happens. Doubtful this will be the week.

I hear you Jaded. We can certainly hope they win.

Lol. Did we expect to beat the cats last year? I thought we'd lose to the dons but beat the roos. Our phycology is very predictable

Yeah, we'd be OK if our phycology was unpredictable! :)

 

I get what you mean tho', and I agree with you. If an opposition coach does their homework on us, they can stifle s fairly easily, and it's fairly predictable how we'll react. Woosha's eyes would have lit up from the moment that T-Mac ran first one way across the ground in d50, then the other, took about the 4th or 5th option & inevitably turned it over.

I would think they would, they'd be crazy not to be on top of fan feedback. This forum is essentially free research for them, to get an idea what their most engaged fans think of the club.

I know schwab read these forums and I think he even posted a few times.

Be surprised, and thoroughly enjoy the kick to kick on the ground after the game.

Well, obviously the first thing to do is to work out how many years the Demons and Kangaroos will be competing against eachother in Grand Finals.

:roos:

If we beat North I will roll my eyes at the absurdity of our game and our club, feel a lot better, and the focus on sending both Collingwood and Richmond into a crisis in the next two weeks.

And after that, I will be absolutely sure we will get smashed by St Kilda, even if (especially if) both Riewoldt and Montagna are injured that day.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
