Not for me unfortunately. What I'm seeing on the field is pleasing and different to many of the false dawns I've witnessed in the past. However my MFCSS is so ingrained that I keep expecting the wheels to fall off at every turn. Only a premiership will alleviate the negativity that I have in my head and my heart and even then it will only be a band aid until the next season. Perhaps a three-peat will help ...

You could written that about me. After half century 8 wins won't do it.

    I started coining the phrase DOA (Decade of Arrogance) some time back, but have had to postpone or rethink a few times (in the last 50 years). However I have matured and area now taking it "one week at a time".

    The season now has gone : 

    A good start  (Freo) , Bloody hell 2 in a row (Saints), 3WOA (GWS), Ripper (Geelong NRL) , Just  another win (Horforn ),              "Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*&&( K"" (Toiges) , 7WOA (Norf) and now 8WOA (Swans) .

    Would dearly love a YOA !!!!

    Might help but pretty sure it won't cure it.
    Reckon Richmond supporters are still rather insecure for eg.
    They can feel their rein at the top ending.

    And lets say we did win one as the Bulldogs did and then like them come out the next year and not even make finals.
    I'd still be furious.
    As I was in 2001 after losing the GF in 2000.

    That is the thing about winning premierships, the euphoria last until round 1 the next season, after 1964 the demons where the most feared club in the VFL, by round 12 in 1965 everyone was saying the demons who

    My euphoria probably won't last that long .

    Winning a GF might give me a heart attack ( worth it ) . If it doesn't the euphoria will last a lifetime !

    I’m similar except for the last bit. One premiership will satiate me. That’s all I need to see, just one. 
    Stalking the Richmond board after losses, those ungrateful [censored] make me sick. It’s like the recent flags stand for nothing, they get stuck in and world is ending. 
     

    I’m also a Liverpool supporter, we’re having the season from hell but I couldn’t care less, I just saw a Champions League and Premier League trophy, yet some fans want the whole club sacked. I don’t get it.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
