If only you were right, but those times are long gone.

 

There will be some re adjustment but then ego & greed will take over.

After the Spanish flu,  WW1 and Polio,  people were very community oriented.  These things are great levellers.

And with borders to remain shut to O/S for some time,  and import export to be much slowed...  and the real possibiliyty of war breaking out, I PreDict we will start heading back into

"being & buying Australian".

I don't mean the players either, I'm talking local club Presidents and committees....

The SANFL may get away with it this year but players will move on next year for a pay packet.

I wonder if your selling Australians short.?

Bigger pay-packets might not be available,  for smaller leagues and association's.

    Different world now...our culture is a lot more self centred and selfish than it was in 1918.

    Might be a book in that one 'Martian'...

    I'm part of a boomer generation that is partly maybe majorly responsible for it.

    The kids that followed have learnt from a pretty selfish bunch.

    We've been lucky to not be involved in world wars and major downturns.

    Maybe the cold war had a different impact.

    Go for it, you might not be here tomorrow.

    The rise of American culture and it's self help, narcissism.

    The internet and the BS attached.

    So many things, just throwing out thoughts from the top of my head.

    ...but we're not the same as the people of 1918.

    Just look at how so many were out and about crowding shopping centres yesterday.

    It was all about them and screw everyone else.

    I am also of the boomer generation.  but suffered a lot in younger years from bullying and becoming a doormat.

    With this,  I do not have this want to be better than everyone else,  but rather,  the best  i can do.  Maybe,  this is a part of community mindedness. the notion that we cannot survive without one another...  hence the team... concept.

    My parents were not the most confident people,  but were warm and friendly to all.  An empathetic way of being.   My uncles and aunties were not of the, I'm just so good brigade.

     

    So,  I guess I am a product of this inbuilt genetics,  to some degree.  Kindness to a fault,  to the vulnerable and down trodden.  Cynical of the wannabees.

     

    I think struggle in early life is a very good character building way of life.  Teaching some very good lessons, in forming the persons character.  

    Having things too easy growing up, IMO,  breeds a contemptuous style in many.

    .

    # I see a comparison in all of this,  in the Mfc in some ways,  and the wider perception of us,  as a club.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
