We should go to the Supreme Court and get some sort of injunction thingy where the media are not allowed to cover us all season.  

Please stop talking about us, just pretend we dont exist!

We can't whine when we can't get big name sponsors because we get no airtime and then whine when we get airtime. Success is a double edged sword. We want to keep a lid on it but the attention is good for business. You want good facilities & money to spend of the best people then this attention gets the attention of the big hitters.

I for one can say I have put barely the smallest fragment of a thought into finals or anything of the sort.

I'm very much in the moment and determined to keep it that.  Which is a bit like reminding myself to not think of elephants, but I'm doing my best.

To the extent that I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming that we might realistically win again each new week. And to be honest that is an uncanny joy. 

I'm all for the attention.

Attention = relevancy and if the team continues to perform well that'll eventually = respect.

Tonight on the sports news our team selection for Saturday was the second story, ahead of (would you believe) a story re the new Collingwood president!

"Watch out for the birds."

Melbourne to be knocked out of finals by the Eagles again: confirmed.

I'm still dreaming of a top 4 home and away finish.  Quite happy that we are on the right track, but still a long way to go.

Yes, it will be hard not to make finals from here, but just stumbling into the top 8 and making finals is the fools gold of premierships.

Nice preview for the show. 

“ This is the big year, either that or this Melbourne’s most inventive way yet to torment the faithful.”

Laughed at that.

Is it possible to be more tormented than we already are?

Be vewy vewy quiet 

If for some mad reason the doggies happened to drop to GWS on Friday and we smashed the Tigres..(by a lot)......Then it would be the first time ever in Nathan Jones career that he finished a home and away round with Melbourne on top of the ladder.

If the Dogs lost to GWS and we beat the Tigers, it doesn’t matter what the margin is as we will sit on top of the ladder regardless, being the only undefeated team.

Ah yes ...of course...sorry long day.

I’m quietly, cautiously, daring to dream .......  as hard as I bloody well can!

My heart beats true .......... What else can I do?

I guess we should bring out the old adage "Thats what we stand for". Nothing would give me the tom t1ts more than hearing Tony Shaw, Danny Frawley, Mark McClure or some other low IQ loud mouth searching for another insulting question about our club, by asking what we stand for?

What does any club stand for?

...and to answer my own question, I think that playing Nate Jones for his 300th on the biggest game of our year, which may make a slight difference to the result shows our spirit.

Dermie meanwhile said on reviewing the game that if we were tough and ruthless we would look at leaving him out. Dermie you are a c0ckhead.

Err...

Relax people, we can only take this    ONE WEEK AT A TIME. 

            

Geez. That was a breath of fresh air compared to the cliche ridden crap we have to endure on CH9 & CH7. He went for a whole 1 minute 40 seconds without calling anyone or everyone a champion, legend or star. Wowee!

I don't mind speculating the 'what ifs' if we're able to keep most key players on the park and what if we can win X number of games for the remainder?  Where would we likely finish on the ladder IF?  I think most do that.  But outside of that i never think anything beyond who's ahead of us this coming week.

Most of these journalists writing these articles have no idea what it's like to live through what we have lived through.  Some no doubt might if they follow the likes of the Saints or Bulldogs (prior to 2016).

I believe they are confusing "enjoying winning more often vs the ****ty feeling when you lose alot" ...with dreaming.  They are mutually exclusive from where i sit and i never scream the house down as a fan during a match thinking "oh if we win this, we might win most of our coming matches, we might make finals and we might make a GF.  Hec we might win it this year".

This is all just journalist and opposition clap trap.  Most would hate for us to have any success as they can't stand the idea of such a loser club (in their minds) beating up on their beloved club/s.

Most journalists, regardless of how much they might scream... "i'm a professional unbiased journalist", are barracking for the team they followed as a kid growing up or the team/s they played for.  They want to see their team/s winning, they don't want to see us have success.  There might be a few rare ones who maybe follow other sports and don't have a team they support who are truly unbiased and want to see the under-dog succeed, such as us, or have us as a second team.  However, you could probably count them on one hand.

The rest are dying for us to fall over at some point so they can all say "I knew it", "You heard it here first", "Same old Demons" etc.

The only way to shut the [censored] supporters and journalists up is to keep winning and bashing up on their precious clubs.  Many of whom got to where they are from winning so many premierships in the 70s and 80s (namely Carlton, Richmond and Hawthorn) by rorting the zone system the VFL set up in 1970 for a good 15 years prior to it being disbanded in 1985.

For all those supporters and journalists, especially the ones who follow those three cheating clubs in particular, and who might be whining about us having a few wins in a row....SUCK IT UP CHEATERS! ?

Stop worrying. The olympics are in Tokyo/

Who are you kidding, people? You are all a 5 goal loss away from bloodletting about playing too many kids, or about our NQR players that ‘aren’t good enough for a flag winning team,’ or about the whipping boys of the past, present and future being the reason you sulk on the way to work...

I’m overreacting sure but this board is insufferable this week - just as it will be after our next bad loss...
