They’ll hate us soon and we will be ‘arrogant’ by default of reality.

Act how you want to act. 

Judging Dees fans for ‘overstepping’ is such a waste of energy.

We were a laughing stock, and now when we laugh, it is with the carcass of a foe splayed out in the rear view. 

You be you, Dees fans.

I'm releasing a new after shave.

Demon Arrogance- Because we are simply better than you are.

For best results, apply 3 times within 1 minute

 

I'll be wearing my new Cologne with my old tweed ,some rank smelling cheese on a platter ,perhaps a rug over my knees at the Hawks game.

I hope we wipe them into the dirt so I can offer insincere remarks like "You guys are really good", " The new coach might take a while to get them going'', "You can build a backline around Sam Frost".

 

 

Not sure if it would count as arogant behavior to be telling Joel Selwood to go suck a big juicy lemon when he had his dummy spit in the PF after giving away that 50m.  Our players reaction to that was priceless, as was my satisfaction watching everything unfold.

Some may think this is not in my nature but in those famous words of skipper; "just smile and wave boys, smile and wave"

Let's be happy but not arrogant like Hawthorn supporters.

Those bogan yuppie types of the late 80s, early 90s were the worst.  Guaranteed to get around in one of those trendy leather jackets, beer in one hand and telling everyone in earshot what a great team the mighty Hawkers were.  These zealots and instant experts in footy would evaporate any time Hawthorn weren't in form and they almost went extinct in the early 2000s, before that 2008 revival bought them back in record numbers.  That Jeff Kennett was their president says it all.

Just thinking of these creatures is enough to supress any inner arrogance I might have.

At the risk of contradicting myself; a little smugness in the smile is ok isn't it?

It had been 24 years since we'd last played off in the big dance and 10 yo me though we were on the verge of being the premiers again or sometime in the next few years.  Bombers are up to 21, so maybe if they make a grand final sometime in the next few years, perhaps it could be a case of history repeating?

I try not to be arrogant in any walk of my life. Don’t always succeed, but I don’t see any reason to make an exception for my footy team.

Humble in victory, gracious in defeat.

Support loudly and proudly yes, but don't be arrogant (unless it's towards Essendon or Carlton supporters those [censored] can get [censored])

To annoying opposition fans, just politely nod your head and at the end of every sentence say “I remember when we used to be like that”

Actually I've been doing that a fair bit to my Carlton supporting co-worker lately.

Not sure if it’s just a Dees thing considering we’ve been down for so long, but I always hated it when opposition fans became really arrogant and lose any semblance of being humble (not saying anyone of us are arrogant or anything!).

When I’ve seen it, I’ve thought to myself not carry on like that as in general I just don’t really like it I guess. You can be proud of your club sure, but the blind arrogance thing just irks me. 
 

I guess the people I know that are humble and just *know* they’re team is good, have much more weight when they do out the boots in to someone, rather than someone who’s constantly banging on about how good their team is and how [censored] others teams are.
 

Is it a right of passage to be arrogant if your team is successful? Or is there a good way to carry yourself? 

Genuinely want to know how people are reacting to the flag win?!
 

 

 

I’m not going to judge anyone. Me personally, I’ve been picking off opposition fans that gave me hell one by one as we started to turn the corner.

So I’ll just leave my masterpiece here.

 

 

I wasn’t going to be arrogant, but let’s just say that a lot of people I knew rubbed it in when their team won. So much, that they notified me every time that we lost. I say “do onto other as they would do onto you.”

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
