I feel weird, and have all week.

When the Saints were in the GF, I didn't like it. I hated them. I hate them. I didnt want them to win. I admittedly preferred a Pies and Cats victory.

But the Bulldogs...I loved that they were in it, and I loved that they won.

But...

I'm sad. Does anyone else feel the same way?

    Could be because they've written the fairytale script, taking the polish away from other teams wishing to do the same in the future. No fear though, our script will just have to be better.

    Yeah, it feels like a fairytale. Like it's not real. I do believe our script is just as if not better...but whether or not it ever comes to fruition.

    According to Wikipedia, my old mate B Russ once said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness.

    Our time will come. Maybe. Hopefully.

    Almost well put Pra just lacked a bit of vitriol. ( see my slagging of Bob Murphy) Yes I agree, I am [censored] it was the doggies and not us.

    BTW ignore Biffen the hypocrite is out selling drugs to doggies supporters.

    The pursuit of happiness is the cause of unhappiness. Sums it up for me.

    I feel a bit odd about all of this. I couldn't give a flying fruit bat about any other team to be honest but this is the happiest I have  felt in all the time I have followed footy.

    Do not feel down in the slightest way.

    The Dee's had their best year in a decade and the Dogs got up for a fairytale win after a drought of 58 years.

    what is there to be down about.

    The Dee's what?

    BTW, It was a 62 year drought.

    Not down at all.

    Rapt that the Dogs have broken a huge drought.  While the players are too young to have experienced it, this will mean the world to so many supporters and club administrators, boot studders etc. The one who best bridges the gap between the old stalwarts and the new playing group is Bob Murphy. For some reason he is such an atypical representative of the west, but his heart is rooted there.  Bless his loyalty.  Long may he enjoy this time on top of the world.

    I get what you're saying, but no, I'm a footy fan and love good football and good football stories.

    Very happy for the Doggies and all their supporters. Today isn't about us.

    If anything the win gives hope that a battling team can beat a club given unfair advantage via the cost of living crap and their Academy.

    Nup, not remotely sad.  Didn't even feel happy for them, I felt happy *with* them.  I felt a part of that victory like I never have for a team outside Melbourne.  Great day, great game.

    And for me, it was the first sign I've seen in a long time that you don't need to be a power club to win the flag.  It brought the dream to life for me.

    It was like a changing of the guard this year, Hawthorn dropped out early, Geelong were shown up as pretenders, Sydney were walloped by GWS and were only there because they played Geelong to get back in the game.

    Sydney were beaten by two teams in the finals that were brutal and hit them with everything, that's what they normally do to other teams.

    There are other teams on the verge of the top eight like Melbourne and St Kilda that are on the improve and sides like West Coast and Adelaide that seem to be treading water. If we can improve our list a bit to fill in the missing pieces we can have a real rivalry with the Bullies and GWS, it's up to us now.

    You're having a bad day at the keyboard today.

    Lay off the alcohol, and calm down. Have some water or something.

    Spot on old dee.  Fantastic way to round out a very pleasing year.

    Mmmmmm .. I'll concede the year had some pleasing aspects, however, the [censored] ups against Carlton and Geelong left a very sour taste.

    I'm not sure where we stand atm. We are certainly a long way off any of the sides I've seen play in the last 3 weeks.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
