That wasn’t the OP’s question. The question is will you be satisfied if we go down in the prelim? You oughtn’t begrudge someone the joy of the incredible journey this season’s been despite not winning the flag. 

I am asking Kevin

Many fail, because of the preparation. Habits take alot of time to perfect. Habits lead to addiction and addictions can destroy us, by creating dysfunction and prioritising some behaviours that interfere with things we should be doing.

I would also suggest that high flyers have difficulty adjusting once the razzle dazzle subsides. They were driven to attaining one type of thing and forgot to gain wisdom on how to live contently.

Prepare yourself to deal with failure. 

I have had to do that many times already. 
has never sat well with me. 
Do you think i will be satisfied if Jeelong run out on GF Day?

No i will not. 
I find it quite amazing that someone would post on a supporters website with your attitude. 
we have seen everybody else win 🏆 

I have had a gutfull 

 

@adonski,you offer a vomit emoji for my opinion. Why so hard on me, because I (or a team I support) don't need to be first

Of course not. However, you could be a good sportsman and applaud that achievement.

In the least, you should be adjusted enough so that it doesn’t cause you grief.

You also want others to think like you. You give no room for some who don’t need to win everything to be satisfied, as shown by your vomit emoji to me.

Don't take it so seriously kev.

You're probably just a nicer person than I am..

What!

I am a supporter no matter how much you want the MFC to yourself and others like you.

I like my attitude and will defend it. I am free, happy and live comfortably. My attitude has been a major part in creating that for myself.

I don’t "need" to have high achievements in my life to be happy.

See what that demand and expectation is doing to you.

Suggesting I shouldn't post, wow!

Nah, I am as reactive to pressure as the next person.

I believe we are equal, no better or worse than each other.

There for the sake of grace go I.

Personally I feel sorry for those who will only be satisfied/happy/whatever if we win the big one. Enjoy the ride is what I say. Regardless of the destination, ie., flag or no flag, getting there is always more than half the fun. 

Are you old enough to have enjoyed the '64 flag?

Maybe you should barrack for the Gold Coast Kev

Average is as high as they can aspire 

No one really cares whether they live or die. They exist

I am amazed that some supporters aren't interested in watching a grandfinal that doesn't include MFC or has old enemies playing.

You will be missing out on some good theatre.

I guess it takes all types.

Nah, I value loyalty.  

I enjoy going to the G on a regular basis. 

Bit hard on the Suns supporters aren't you?

You lot cannot pick and choose who supports MFC. Though it seems you want to.

@adonskiand @Cassiew

Is the world safer for you when you believe or make the circle you live in, think alike?

No, I’m not. 


I watch the grand final every year regardless. But I’ll be spitting mad seeing Geelong there and would never applaud them. Just like seeing a north there in 1998. That was our grand final and I just know we would have beaten the crows. 
I’ll watch but couldn’t enjoy seeing Geelong or anyone else win yet another one when we’ve been waiting longer than all other teams left.

That’s my 5 cents

I have never met a Suns Supporter tbh

Do they exist? It is merely an AFL Tax Loophole really

The MFC Should be looking to fill the Cupboard with new Cups

Close enough is NOT Good enough 

Anyone can lose. It’s not difficult at all

I don’t need to have cancer to know I wouldn’t like it. 
Anyways, I never claimed to know what winning the flag feels like. What I DO claim to know is how totally wonderful this season has been to date. And indeed, very satisfying. 
PS… then I did get cancer and yeah, I was right: it’s not something I like.

There are about 1.5 million registered AFL players this year.

Suns get a handful of them from a draft of around 200.

They haven't lost! Though according to your logic the majority have.

I believe joy is much more about participating than winning.

Winning is overestimated, the fall from the pedestal can be disastrous. Many never get there, though are content. Can't say the same for the overachievers. Most of our ambition in the world is an illusion, and our place is determined more by the socio-demographics your are born into.

Soz for butting in on a private convo but I saw a Suns fan once so I took a blurry pic and sent it to “Paranormal Caught on Camera.” 😝

Then what's the point? 

If you don't care if your team is first why do you support them? 

Are you one that thinks participating is all that counts, everyone should get a ribbon even if they finish last?

2000 players out of 1.5 million get a chance to achieve at the highest level, 50 win a flag together. The rest of us live vicariously through them.

  • NON-MFC: Round 10

    The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
