Hard to not see all this and just say, heard it all before and the talk has been cheap coming out of this club for a long time. i know they have to say it, but it really washes completely over me.

It only took three posts for someone to pull out the old "talk is cheap".

What is it that you expect from him in the week after our season finished?

Apologies for giving my opinion... seriously.

As i also posted, i dont care what he says, right now it washes over me.. i love Max and of course he has to say these things but for ME.. im just not ready to hear another spiel on how we will come back a different team and next year we will be a different side.. when i see it, i will believe it.

If so why would you read/post Demonland, media or anything?  Just watch the matches. 

I expect everyone on here agrees with you - we will believe it when we see it.  But that doesn't mean we ignore everything else and discuss nothing, including the nuances of what the captain and coach say publicly.  

Personally I thought Max's comments were relatively refreshing compared to what we often hear.   Do I believe it guarantees a better 2021?  Of course not.

Not more BS.I really cannot stand listening anymore until they actually show that they have learned and are motivated.I will have my opinion  and  wait until they back up the talk sometime in the next 50 years. By the way I must get my nuance meter checked

i m obviously missing something.

Cheer up Kent it is only a game and the season is over there are way more important things in life. I feel we lost this season from those off the field. Yes we could do with a few better players but let’s hope we get a couple this recruiting season and some big changes to the FD.

Sure. Same with me. 

But I don't think anyone reads Gawn's quotes and thinks "well that does it, we're clearly going to make finals in 2021".

What he said was refreshing and candid. Rather than whinge about "talk is cheap", let's just accept the honesty of his quotes.

No i agree and i never said that..  i feel like you are reading too much into what i said.. the footy club talks and talks and talks.. promises finals and better years and better times.. they are simply not happening.. so im just sick of hearing it, regardless of what is said.. i am just sick to death of hearing how as a club we are going to change.. and i know they have to say it, they have to portray confidence and sell hope.. but for me personally, and imagine lots of people, they are hollow words.

 

Also im not whingeing about it im being honest about how i feel..  anyway.. go dees.. lets hope the words come with actions next year.

Oh would you look at that.

A fail but not a waste.

All the members here who were spouting their crap about a wasted year.

Jog the [censored] on.

Lol.. you are so predictable Hammy.. and so bitter..  If Max says it it must be true..  There are countless examples of wasted opportunities this year. The Fail not waste line is classic PR SPIN and it has sucked you in. A captain cant come out and say we wasted a year.. it would be too truthful.. the club outlined a 4 year plan that said finals every year.. they have failed and they have wasted a year of work and effort. You do know that you can be wasteful and still learn from it..

 Jog on.. what are you 15 years old?. Cheer up Hammy.

Good for you Sue... its your opinion and your right to think whatever you feel is right.. and i wouldnt go looking for an argument with you... maybe you should do the same.. stick to your opinion and stop trying to put words in other peoples mouth.

Your idiotic negativity is the most predictable spouted crap on here.
Do us all a favour and shut the hell up.

Cool story champ, your refusal to respect someone else's position says more about you than me and now you have thrown the toys out of the cot..  move on, seriously.

So we are going to become a ruthless and completely new club hey. 
 

I wonder how long that will take considering goody can’t fix our midfield to f50 connection for the last 2 seasons. 
 

All talk again which is what we are used to from our club. I hold no hope any of this will happen while goody and co are in charge.

Well if not he is being careful about what the club wants him to say

Of course we wasted opportunities this year 

Nothing wrong in saying it

Well as old Dee says there is always next year and the next and the next

I ask again if we stay with Goodwin and the game plan WHAT IS GOING TO CHANGE to make sure we don't keep repeating and wasting another year

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
