I reckon we've seen every emotion other than anger from this group over the last few years.

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.

Anger was felt watching those Cairns games.  They were unforgivable losses.  Pathetic.  I'll never forget them.  Poorly coached.

Freo by 20 points?

I think your wrong, The players are angry  so it will be a 7 or 8 point loss,

So they don't feel too upset when they put their hand out...   an honourable loss

I don't like the general immaturity, smartarsery and absence of modesty on this podcast.

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?

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.  

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.

 

mad as hell GIF     

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.

 

 

 

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.

Great piece. 
 

I’m inspired.

I really don't know what some people expect Gawn to say.  Of course it means little.  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.

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. 

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.

The Melbourne Storm understand the work ethic. We the Demons don’t. 
 

we share the same facilities 

Life is Strange


Anger is the path to the Dark Side.

 

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.

Agree 100% DD. And Grinter was not just tough - he was incredibly skilled. A bit of Rhys-Jones about him. We could absolutely do with a few like that.

Good to see someone still has their sense of humour !


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.

get lost. I don't spend every minute of the day here.  My response will be sent shortly and you may be embarrassed about it.  I'd rather be happy go lucky than a misery guts.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
