Not so sure, as this generation seems to be a softer, more entitled one, than the ones before. This seems to be a "me" generation.

Anyway it is a difficult argument to win, but just an opinion.

Spoken like a boomer entirely lacking in self-awareness. Bravo.

    We'll probably never know the truth about Hogan's departure. No point conjecturing, no point going on about generational gaps, no point farting nails.

    As someone said to me once, It is what it is. What it is we'll never know.

    Agreed. As you said, there’s no point farting nails (I really hope this saying catches on).

    Back in my day we ate steel and farted nails. 

    ...and we walked - back in them days, like ... barefooted over rough terrain for at least 20 miles, each Saturdee morning to play for the local footy team reserves and then a turn-around, same way and method, to get back home before Dad sent out the dogs to look for us after sunset...but at least, Mum had a bowl of hot, cabbage soup for our supper and after a quick bath in the laundry tub, it was into bed for the simpler walk, once a month, to church in the morning when the travelling preacher came to our neck of the woods. Gawd it was tough but we had no idea what was on the other side of the horizon, except for this big dam they called 'Cape Otway'.

    I'd imagine that was quite painful.

    The truth is that we are all the same at any age.  We act on our basic instincts.

    The 'Me' generation can include anyone of any age.   The selfish gene can afflict anyone,  anytime.  Millennials = Baby Boomers and anyone else in between.

    We forget what we were like when we were young - or perhaps we go into denial as we age.  Oldies pointing the finger at the young is hypocritical. 

     

    Totally agree 'Macca', it's not reserved for any one generation.

    I have only seen the one photo of Jessie having a lie down in the bar. What other photos are doing the rounds on the net?

    There's one where he's wearing a Dockers jumper. An act of rash stupidity that a number of young men these days unfortunately indulge in.

    Interesting that you attacked me and not my opinion. Also interesting that you labelled me with entirely lacking self awareness, when you probably don't know the first thing about me.

    Anyway, I said it was only an opinion and a very hard argument to win.

    Spoken would indicate that I was criticising what was said in that moment, not the individual in perpetuity. 

    In any case, you’re pointing a finger at an entire generation as if yours is on a pedestal. Get your hand off it; we’re all scumbags.

    Master Po: That is what you risk, Grasshopper: great pain, or great joy.

    It is just the notion of social evaluative contribution based on formative reasoning that differs and then it might progressively change to interpersonal evaluative judgements - depending on one's own haste for that change, itself.

    They say on dark nights ... just like that one ... about 3am on the Freo foreshore, when the DJ has packed up his gear and gone home and the night is still and quiet, you can hear the sound of a power forward ralphing into the lapping waves below

    Grasshopper: uh .... right. Do you reckon Jesse is going to kick a bag when he plays us?

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • 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?
