That may well be my point.

I think many supporters can get carried away with expressing optimism in the face of adversity.....it is motivating and very altruistic The reality is we have not won a flag for nearly 50 years and for many long suffering supporters this is what counts. Getting someone near the summit and continuing to fall off is not what we aspire to do. At this stage, we are barely able to stay in base camp. A bit of passion around the club, including its supporters would be a pleasant change......stick your head out the window and say..."I'm as made as hell and not going to take it any more".

    Exactly mate. Well put. we as a club should scream NO to mediocrity once and for all. The powerclubs certainly would know their members were [censored]-off we need to let ours know aswell.

    I can assure you that I certainly know how to vent. I just don't choose to come onto an internet forum and have a hissyfit under an assumed and anonymous username. I much rather spend time on here analyzing where we're at and looking at how we can improve. Calls to sack coaches, absuing players who have limited ability but plenty of ticker like Brad Miller and insulting fellow posters who endeavour to enjoy their footballing experience shouldn't form part of the venting process. I can understand why some chose this approach but at the end of the day, most of these posts come across as self-indulgent, meaningless rants.

    "I'm as mad as hell and not going to take it anymore".

    Sorry, didn't help. If you reach a point where you're not going to take it anymore you wouldn't be posting on a fan forum. While you're here you might as well tell me in a constructive way what you would do as a coach.

    Would you have tanked last year?

    Would you have traded for an experienced key forward? If so, who and how would you get him?

    Would you instruct your players to kick long into a forward line devoid of key forwards?

    Would you adopt a possession game based around short kicking?

    Who would you structure our centre square?

    Which young players would you give a chance to and who would you drop?

    Who would you have drafted over the past three years with the selections we had?

    Would you have traded Johnstone and McLean?

    How would you set the team up to defend kick-outs?

    How would you combat a Hawthorn-like zone to our kick-outs?

    Who would have played in your starting 22 last week?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
