Sorry but I’m simply not one of those people that hates a team for all eternity just because they smashed us yesterday. I’d hate about 17 teams if that were the case. 

Which is why I can hate 17 clubs.

 

I’ll  be thinking fondly of Carlscum as Josh Kennedy shatters the Filths backline.

Equally? So you’ve never barracked for another team in a game? Ever?

I have this dilemma as well.

My very nice, sympathetic Collingwood supporting but Melbourne member husband tells me that he is trying his best to get me a ticket to go with him to the GF.

I really, really do not want to go as I really despise Collingwood and dislike that American bloke plus I really dislike WC. I have a zero care factor about this game.

We go overseas the Monday after the GF so I am going to invent a crisis at work that needs my undivided attention all day Saturday and give the game a miss altogether. Think I will take myself shopping a buy a consolation prize for our team not making it.?

Sigh....I am going with my collingwood supporting partner...I was at Perth & saw eagles supporters up “close & personal” ....however I cant abide collingwood..in fact after attending many GF’s....I just don’t care

It is really hard to get excited. I feel bad for a couple of people that I know who are Collingwood supporters and cannot get a seat. I wish I could give my ticket to one of them but my husband wants to take me and that is that.

I have only ever been to one other GF and that was Pies vs Geelong which they lost. My most vivid memory of that day was Meatloaf?. Not sure if the Black Eyed Peas will be any better...

The things we do for love.

I just wish the boot was on the other foot and I was going to see the Dees play in a GF - then I would be beyond excited.

This is a really strange thing to say on a forum full of hardcore MFC fans who were still gutted over the result. Sound more like an all round fan of the game than a die hard Melbourne fan.

Trust me I’m both. I’m a diehard (shattered) Melbourne fan that just loves watching anyone play, particularly a grand final.

I was bitterly guttered when I missed out on a grand final ticket via AFL members. last Sunday. First grand final I’ve missed since 2003.

I’ve never been to a Grand Final and had no interest in going after what happened last week but I think if you’ve built up a sort of tradition of going for 15 years straight it would probably hurt to miss it.

No, not equally.
Essendon and Collinwood top the list.
And I barracked for St.Kilda in the 2010 GF. 
Doesn't mean I didn't hate them and the way they were coached at the time, just means I hated them less than Collingwood.

Yep, fair enough. Think we’re on the same page. 

I wish this GF was cancelled.

Much as I hate WC and their ignorant BOOOOOO supporters, I want to see the Filth lose another one.

??

you can usually count on the colliwobbles - so near, so far, so sweet

but congratulations for beating their own record for the most lost grand finals and pushing it to the amazing figure of 27 - outstanding effort

 

Gulp...don’t think I will pass that onto my

Collngwood partner just yeti!! That really

”mean” part of me is a little  bit  happy ?

Is there an icy atmosphere in the @jane02 household tonight?

Believe it or not I actually feel sorry for my husband. He was very gracious in defeat. I know if it had happened to Melbourne, I would still be lying in fetal position wailing on the ground. He is a much better loser than I would be.

I can say the WCE supporters near me were obnoxious.

Bah to being gracious. Far better  being nasty, resentful and petty in defeat.

And Jane …. stick some knitting needles under your fingernails for feeling sympathy towards a filth supporter.

I didn't give a toss. Until the last quarter, and started supporting WC. The brain will do what it wanna do. But I won; hoorah!

It was good when Darling dropped the ball in the goal square with a minute to go.

Made the last minute and the final margin even more agonising for the filth ...

  • 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?
