Will you be satisfied with the Season of 2021 even if we lose the Preliminary Final 176 members have voted

  1. 1. Hypothetically, we lose the Prelim. You've got angry, you've got sad, you've blamed Tmac and Spargo, and perhaps the umpires and coach....Time has passed - in the cold harsh light of objectivity - will you be satisfied with the Season of 2021

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.

    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.

    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.” 😝

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

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
