Me too. He’s always telling me the reason for something or that something is about to happen.

Very helpful.

    Again, this has NOTHING to do with players. 
    And again, I feel sorry for fans who have the “Flag or Bust” mentality.

    That’s why.

    For me it has always been about Premierships. Nothing more nothing less!

    Nah I feel sorry for anyone that doesn’t want their club winning every flag. I don’t care who plays for the clubs I follow, if they’re criminals, [censored] etc, as long as they win for the club. Premierships are all that matters & the people that think otherwise were part of the reason our club was one of the worst sporting club in the country year after year.Too many people accepted mediocrity for far to long & it not only cost the club wins, it cost them decades of supporters & future members.

    Geez you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t!

    Too many times ppl misquote or misinterpret or read between the lines of other people’s comments. And they’re taken to task for it.

    So I quote him verbatim, and with zero ambiguity and I’m likewise having to explain. 
    He said “it’s all about flags and nothing else” which I took to mean it’s all about flags and nothing else, ergo I feel sorry for him. 

    That's right, but you're smarter than a lot of people too. 

    Let's face it though, people talk in absolutes all the time here. Eg. We ALWAYS bomb it in, we NEVER use the corridor, Brown hasn't taken a mark in years. It's everywhere unfortunately.

    For a guy who has supposedly already signed a deal with Freo, he seems pretty invested. Was braving the wet at Casey to watch the VFL boys play, has been posting pics of the win on his Insta... I don't know, something doesn't add up.

    He could possibly have just 2 games left with the MFC, but he isn't acting like someone who has already checked out. 

    He seems like a pretty "in the moment" kind of guy - like Barassi said decades ago "my heart is wherever I am" or words to that effect.

    What is this supposed to mean?! ⬆️ 

    I hope I’m mistaken, but it sounds patronising. Totally uncharacteristic of you so I’ll be shocked and disappointed if that’s the case.

    Don’t reply… don’t reply… don’t reply…

    Whoops, too late. I’m replying.
     

    I hereby apologise for thinking premierships are NOT all that matters (sic) and thereby being part of the reason our club was one of the worst sporting club (sic) in the country year after year. 

    Henceforth, in terms of my beloved Club, I shall only accept Premierships. Anything less is simply unacceptable.

    Spot on

    He's gone but he likes everyone to be his mate... not uncommon and he's probably well advised to avoid... you know what

    Mel and Steve watch: Can confirm that a 10 seat sofa was delivered to their residence today. Of particular interest may be that it contained an oddly long; custom chaise. Make of this what you will.

    No, there was no ill intentions whatsoever. Pretty surprised at this response myself and I think you're jumping to conclusions.

    I'm sorry I said anything.

    I've just phoned the club and asked if the boys could wear the redback jumper this week in a gesture of support.

    One would assume that @Webber might have something to say about this.

    Yep……grrrrrrr.

    Some people here really need to get a grip. People are trying to discuss what means the most to them and other people are more keen on starting arguments for no reason based on a couple of words they said.

    I'm in this for flags, as much as I'm in this for a winning season, making the finals and so forth. I don't need to remain loyal to Jackson if he goes and I'm not interested if someone is sorry for me if I have that view. If people want to bully me or others on a message board for having that opinion then that says more about them than it does me.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
