The thing you’re most tired of hearing

[Cassiew 1,903]

When you say you’re a Melbourne supporter.

 

Mine would have to be: “when was the last time Melbourne won the premiership?”

 

Saturday can change that

[Kent 2,916]

wait until next year 

[deebug 1,754]

Will this be the year ?

[Guest]

In a totally patronising way:

If (insert $h!tty team) don’t win it this year, I hope you guys do.

"The Bulldogs week off benefits them more than the Demons 1 game in 28 days"

I'm way too focused on the game this week to think about the 57 years preceding it or any regular Melbourne barbs from the usual numpties.

Melbourne supporters going to the snow!!

I’m just sick of being reminded about how rubbish we were.

We, Melbourne supporters know this better than anyone else.

I want to celebrate watching a team that is not only full of great players but is now playing as a great team.

The question - “Are you nervous?”

Only one reply - “it’s been 57 years, so wadda YOU reckon?” 
 

FMD!

The bigger the downfall the greater the comeback.

Totally agree, but right now is not the time to dwell like many are.

The word ‘COVID’ 

[Fritta and Turner 4,603]

Long suffering supporters.

Do you know the players names - (well done Nos 5)

After a loss of four goals or less…

(Again, Patronisingly):

“Well, you weren’t thrashed. So there’s that.”

Technically, it’s an acronym. 😉

Over the last two weeks there's no contest for me.  It is "We beat them in round 19 without Treloar or Dunkley".  I'll spew if I hear it again.

"Cheese Platter"

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,950]

Range Rover.

 

And the other thing I'm most tired of hearing? Facile special comments.

But with Bruce

1 game in four weeks, when the reality is on grand final day it will be our third game in 5 weeks and their fourth.

I’m sick of hearing about Caleb Bloody Daniel. Yes he has great vision and awareness, yes he’s a reliable kick, but he’s a reliable 11 metre kick. Most of kicks don’t go the required 15 metres, and I personally don’t see him as damaging as some of the other back flankers.

Im also sick of hearing that the Dogs have the best midfield, on Saturday there’s a couple of slackers that go by the names of Oliver, Trac and Viney who I think will put this myth to rest. 

[rufus 1,162]

Have never been able to reconcile why I seem to take the attitude towards/perception of the MFC so personally. It perplexes my wife too. The Range Rover and snow stuff has always riled me up.

Even if it all goes south on Saturday this last month has been enjoyable in seeing that there are so many other people who have similar feelings about all this.

I like to think if we get it done on Saturday the boys will do it with humility and class and our supporters will afford more respect to our opponents and other supporters than what seems to be the norm for winners in Aussie rules football. The club do seem to have taken a decent step forward this year with cutting out the ill conceived arrogance and focusing on the work.
