Brad Scot thinks we are done with lever going down

How am I going to sleep tonight knowing that Brad Scot thinks this ?

And could we care less what Brad Scot thinks ?

Remind me again, is Brad the likeable Scot.

    I'd like them to stop giving us credit.
     Richmond snuck up on the comp last year and no-one thought they could win it last til the siren went in the prelim.
    We've blown our cover real early, the opposition coaches have plenty of time to turn their attentions to us and we're gonna find out how good this game plan and our execution of it really is.

    It could be worse.

    If you were a Collingwood supporter you would be identified as someone who is not too bright, unemployed and illiterate. Someone with questionable dental hygiene and whose family all have intimate and practical knowledge of the criminal legal system in Victoria. 

    As a Melbourne supporter you get to drive a Range Rover, eat cheese with all your teeth and you have a winter holiday home. 

    But I dont do any of those things.. Maybe I am a Collingwood supporter deep down.

     

    Edit : I do have teeth.

    Frankly I dont give a rat’s clacker what “the media” think (if I fact they do actually think or in some cases are sober enough to think?) or say. 

    And, as another has posted, neither twin is in any way likeable, ranking at about zero  or minutely above on the open ended Goddard scale where BG is  zero.

    Didn't know where to post this but listening to SEN yesterday, David King was talking of the top three teams (West Coast, Richmond AND NORTH). Sorry D.H. but last time I looked at the ladder WE were 3rd and North were 6th. Let your bias go David and talk facts. Always respected his comments but this was stupid. Oh and now we have lost Lever we will go into free fall. And they actually get paid for this sh_t.

    Speaking of snow, I’d like to see this headline after QB. “Pies buried in avalanche after Demon blizzard. Dees schuss away with the 4 points”.

    Just saw AFL360 and they were on about the free kicks to West Coast at home. Currently 96 to 39 and umpires have intimated to Chris Scott that they are influenced by the crowd so the free must be there. Alan Richardson was also complaining about the frees there but not paid to opposing clubs. Robinson said that Fox will chase the AFL up. Haha   Dead end there I feel.

    Someone posted a few years ago at a VFL game where the opposition supporters were sticking it to the Demons fans for being rich etc.

    One of our blokes finally answered back with "Shut up or we'll put your rent up".

    "OLIVER’S HANDS WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRIBUTION"

    This headline in the HS here this evening

     

    Personally I am not phased who writes what about us...however it is lovely when good work is recognised.

    mind you, it was all of about 3 weeks ago that he allegedly handballed too much...tee hee hee

     

    I dont subscribe to the hun, but someone may be able to shed some more light about what the article was saying.

    Who’s worried about us getting ‘credit’ now? Where exactly does people saying nice things rate on the list of what is important?

    Think about this next time you want to whinge about what media think about us.

    All that matters is winning.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
