Viney and May possibly aside, the only thing you ever see from our players is either jokes and smiles or head down sad sacks who come back a day later full of promises again. We get it, they have to say stuff, articles have to be written etc, but these words just ring so so empty to Dees fans. Frustratingly true. Do half of them even give a [censored]? Does the jumper mean anything anymore.. I think its all about the instagram likes and fame unfortunately for these blokes. Start by canning the Gus Gawny podcast. Nothing but open bullying to Ben Gibson. Edited March 11, 2021 by dazzledavey36 1 1 Quote
pinkshark 950 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Anger was felt watching those Cairns games. They were unforgivable losses. Pathetic. I'll never forget them. Poorly coached. 2 Quote

Agree, it popped up in my podcast feed this week and I ignored it. Used to tune in regularly. Who dose it appeal to? Their teammates? Quote
Deebymistake 790 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 We are an insanely (or just insane perhaps) passionate group of football supporters who live in hope that our years of pain will someday end in us watching our beloved team hold the cup. We want the players to hurt, but ultimately it is a game (a bloody good one). The world is full of atrocities & tragedies. That is real hurt. Let’s put it into perspective. The players are hurting in the context. Accept it for what it is. Now come on Dees, do something with this session. 3 1 Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 No, more, talk. No more. I don't care for emotions anymore. Mark Neeld was an 'angry' coach that apparently didn't take any crap from anyone and we know what happened there. The time has come to take a vow of silence and not say anything until we win a flag. Ok maybe a game. 1 Quote
Dame Gaga 2,453 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 This is me every week during the footy season. This is what anger looks like lads. Keep that in mind when you take the field. Cheers. 1 4 Quote
dee-tox 4,835 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Glad they are angry, but anger is not a sustainable emotion. One can have a adrenaline spike caused by anger with positive results, but it can only be on a short-term basis. I'd prefer a spike in fitness, skills, gameplan, teamwork, development, coaching, etc. Edited March 11, 2021 by dee-tox Quote

Given that he has to say something in this modern era, I'd like to see critical posters post some press releases here that are significantly better. 3 hours ago, Queanbeyan Demon said: How about this Sue? The players are aware we have a problem winning games we are expected to win. Our performances last year in Cairns were unacceptable. With a finals position on the line against two sides below us on the ladder, we simply choked. Some fans have accused us of 'drinking our own bath water'. Based on those performances in crucial games, they are correct. We let ourselves down but most importantly, we disappointed our fans . . . again. And for that, I say, on behalf of the players, we're sorry. You, the fans, supporters and members are the lifeblood of the club and provide us with a lifestyle most people can only dream about. And we abused your trust, support and love. For that, on behalf of the players, I apologise. In 2021 we undertake to play a more accountable and disciplined style of game. This means further developing our individual strengths and minimising the influence our weaknesses have on the outcome of each game. For example, Jack Viney is committed to playing Aussie Rules each weekend, I'm gradually improving my goal kicking and hope to thread at least one per game this year and Maysie's target is to keep all the gorillas to two goals or less in each game he plays. All the players will be held accountable, both internally and externally, for their on field performances. To that end, Jack, Stephen and I will front the media each week, and on behalf of the players, answer for our performances as truthfully as possible. Hey Sue, you never wrote back! The happy-go-luckies just don't get it. 1 Quote
JimmyGadson 3,455 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Love Max, could have done better with this one though. Speaks before he thinks sometimes does Max. Quote
Docs Demons 1,810 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 We have not had any angry players since Danny Hughes and Rodney Grinter. Boy we could do with them in this team even to run through a few of the so called big names at training. 1 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,457 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 The Melbourne Storm understand the work ethic. We the Demons don’t. we share the same facilities Life is Strange Quote

Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Let's see if they play angry Saturday week. I don't mean start throwing haymakers I mean attack the ball and the contest with ferocity, do the 1%ers with aggression and be dialled in. 2 Quote

A bit of Rhys-Jones about him. We could absolutely do with a few like that. 2 Quote

Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Not sure why anyone is triggered by these kind of articles. Essendon have 500000000 of them every pre-season, and I doubt their supporters get too upset by them. 1 Quote
