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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
