I feel sorry for ergo too.

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 all this is.

    Why? Because…

    ”It’s all about the flags and nothing else”

    That’s why. 

    Yes. The pursuit of Number 14

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
