No frigging idea what you're talking about or what it had to do with 2006.

Don't reply though.  It's a bore. 

OK, I get it, you're just wanting to draw attention to yourself, not discuss the issue.

Carry on.

    Hawthorn Port and Richmond game we were practically ahead the whole game so I am not sure what leadership needed to do to turn the tide. Against Gold Coast Jack Watts stood up and won the game for us.

    And all 3 of those sides put the heat on us and challanged us during the game. All of our leaders in Viney Jones Gawn and McDonald played a big part in steering the ship back on track. 

    You could also throw in the GWS game where we were 20 odd points down in the last and Gawn Jones and Viney got us back on top to win the game through the middle.

    Your quick to lay the boot into Nathan Jones and our leadership group but never hear a hint of appreciation when they win us big games against the GWS Hawthorns and Collingwoods.

    I literally didn't understand your post.

    If it was relevant or coherent it escaped me.

    Maybe read it again, consider why you particularly responded to me and reword it.

    Attitude...Which has been a problem in the shadows of the club for Decades. 

    Roosy has done a magnificent job. I only wish we had him another 2 years. Goodwin better be one mentally strong guy

    So this is a decades old attitude problem and not a lack of onfield leadership in what is a terribly young group ?

    I thought it might have been that we only had 4 x 100 game players, including a 23 year old in McDonald. 

    Instead I should have realised they were channeling 50 years of mediocrity.

    Surely by now you realise the futility in this type of engagement.

    Yes.  

    I have a bit more time on my hands for the next couple of weeks, hence being more active than usual.

    But I'm fully cognisant that not one word I say will resonate with the hand-wringers.

    Oh poor positive Pete is no one taking notice of you?

    Well I will go back and re read your posts.

    Feel better?

    Mate, I couldn't care what you or anyone else on here thinks.

    I just like arguing.

    It's a combination of both PD. You know i have been talking about Leadership all year

    But i am also convinced psychology plays a part as well. This club has been kicked so many times since Norm left, repeatedly. 

    If we had lost a nail biting shootout against Carlscum i can deal with that. 

    But we didn't turn up...

    Nathan Jones is the Neitz of his playing era. Both will be in the next team of the century. Both legends of the club and great blokes.

    More time than usual? That can't be a good thing for Demonland, Ben.

    Potentially, yes. But I find nothing wakes me up in the morning better than a dose of sheer arrogance.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
