Nothing at all. The silence coming from my corner these days is deafening

    I must admit I got alot of love from mates in the lead up and following the premiership.

    I was arguing we were going to win the premiership every year for 20 years straight and then when I realised it was likely last year I shut up and nobody could believe it.

    I am getting baited about back to back and a dynasty now. I'm staying quiet again for the same reason.

    I’m just loving being the competition bench mark. I have to remind myself that I shouldn’t expect EVERY article to reference us. After all the years of being condescended to I now feel as smug AF. But I am trying really hard not to do the same thing to others.
    TBH I’m not always successful.

    Other than telling them we're winning the next 3 I don't say that much.
    When they start frothing at the mouth I laugh at 'em from the mountain top.

    I did ask my Carlton supporting acquaintance who was  pretty excited if he's booked in for his  "Blues 2022  Rd1" tattoo though.



     

    Haha that is gold 😂

    Not much really as winning the flag has made me more relaxed.  My friends response has been fairly consistent though :

    Get F.

    Happy to receive the compliments about the GF but have always believed in staying humble. Say less but make a comment like “they play for each other” or “play for the coach” or “it’s great having a group of young talented match winners.” If you want to have a diplomatic dig, I find something along the lines of “enjoy the journey” or “ it can take years for a team to rebuild” or you “need patience for all the stars to align to win a flag”

    crom fans: "you've got one" (in reference to rachele) and "yr on wr way to making a long journey from milan to minsk" (rochelle, rochelle)

    cartlank fans: you should've played finals the last three years, at least - looks like you might get there this year

    peptides fans: yr too small in the middle; get stringer back in the midfield and you will be better / you've got no forward line; get stringer back in there and you will be better / you look light on down back; can stringer play there?

    filth fans: such a shame you'd traded out of the draft last year; you could have daicos and rachele

    pear fans: have you got any tall defenders left? what happened to to robbie gray this time?

    tiggas fans: you really missed prestia; how long will this hammy keep him out?

    For the most part I say smugly silent. one flag after 57 years after almost merging and being an embarrassment for so long, I am not ready to gloat much.  if we win another one, especially doing it easily, I reckon my lips might loosen up.

    but you never want to be 'that mate' who is insufferable when they win.  we all have that hawks/tigers mate

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
