Wowee! Pro violence and a dig at mental health in one post. Well done

Really? I am having a dig at mental health, because I think it's ludicrous for every second player to come out and hide behind mental health every time they have to deal with a negative narrative? 

That is the epitome of minimising mental health, and it actually takes away from those who truly are battling mental health issues. He was fair game getting stuck into Gawn, but he can't cop it the other way? Give me a break.
A kid who really is suffering from mental health issues, is not putting himself out there like he has. He was happy to cop the praise, so he needs to be happy to cop the negativity coming his way.

As for violence, I said I hope he gets tackled high for no frees. I did not say I hope we injure him.

Get off your weird high horse.

You know nothing about the nature of his mental health. Nor do I. But you are saying he is faking mental health because he can't take the public backlash. That's called minimising the complexities of mental health

Empathy not your strong suit, obviously

Carry on

You are right, I have no idea of the nature of his mental health, and I did not suggest he is faking it. I just find it odd that it wasn't until a journo prompted him to comment on it, that he suddenly said, oh yeah it's taken a toll. Seems very convenient.

I have all the empathy in the world for anyone who is battling mental health issues. I have no empathy for clowns who put themselves firmly in the limelight and when they don't receive the reaction they hope for, they conveniently say how difficult it's been. Was it also his poor mental health that caused him to post defamatory Tik Tok videos talking trash about women?! 

Collingwood has a long history of letting their players get away with pathetic behaviour off the field. Ginnivin seems like another in a long line of absolute tools, who is being encouraged by his club and the fans to behave poorly.

Sorry @binman - should’ve been clearer: Bala as in Balaclava! A much easier trip, but can sometimes take ages to get on the train afterwards with these size crowds, especially with kids.

Then I've got nothing!

I think its funny that the Toothless brigade are keen for a little gingivitis….

Why can you never solve a crime in the Pies cheer squad? They all have the same DNA and no dental records…

 

i'm not sure they have any dna, well at least not human dna

We are a well structured and disciplined side.

We are playing a rather arrogant, high risk to reward team. If a few words can get them to try a different approach, then they will be playing into our hands.

We will build our wall and have a strategy to blunt their corridor runs.

I can't see them going with another strategy other then fast footy and pressure.

We will outlast them. They could drain themselves early with having to chase us, and to get the ball in front of us, then all the better.

I reckon, it will be the 3rd quarter that decides this game. Don't let them get momentum and we have this. 

 Salem to hit his straps.

Petracca to kick straight. 

Kossie and Sparg's to light it up.

 Gawn, to feed Oliver with a duck entree, a Mag pie, and the sherrin on a platter.

Be ruthless.

Go Dees

It appears on the weather forecasts apps that I am looking at that most off the rain (showers) should stop by 7pm tonight.

So for all of those who can , rock up to the G tonight and see the mighty Dees crush the Pies…..If I’m wrong, apologies in advance… come and see us crush them in the wet.

On another note: does anyone have any clever tips for parking at the G? Normally, we train it in from Bala’ but want to make a quicker getaway tonight with the kids. Any ideas?

Northern side of the MCG parkland, amid the trees within 60 metres of the ground, enter through the corner gate, north-west corner. Park there all the time for night matches, arriving moderately early (and if you have a 'disabled' card, it's free!)

Attendants are really helpful - getaway after the game is a breeze, as well.

Yep, I'm nervous. I hate when there's enough of an pattern to bring superstition and hoodoos into the conversation.

But the opportunity is there to guarantee our spot in the top 4.

Rationale:

Puts us out of reach of Freo & Carlton. Meaning all three of Sydney, Magpies and Brisbane would have to finish ahead of us with at least 15 wins and percentage.

Collingwood's percentage is showing off the fact they've won their last five games by a combined total of less than 5 goals. They could only then pass us by winning both the remaining games (16w total) while we lost the lot.

Sydney play Collingwood next week. Obviously only one of them can get a win which means only one of them could get past us.

So I'll reaffirm; this specific win would guarantee our spot in the top 4, even if we botched the final two rounds.

I can't comment on an individual player but I have some sympathy for Jaded's comments taken generally.  It is a bit like food allergies.  Lots of people jumped onto the glutin intolerance bandwagon (for example) but had no real problem.  The only good thing to come of it was that as result there is more warning labelling of food and menus. That must be a great boon to the genuinely glutin intolerant.  I'm not sure that sort of benefit applies with mental health. Perhaps it does.

It’s getting a bit ordinary on here.

Agree.

Let's get back on track.

Confident of a win tonight just as I was last week. Adams missing for Collingwood leaves them with a significant hole which means our midfield MUST dominate tonight.

I'm taking my tin  of Brasso to the game tonight with a clean rag.

Win, lose or draw I'm passing to Ed as he walks of the ground so he can go home tonight and give his Premeirship Medal a quick polish.

Bring on the Filth.

Last Pies game i sat in front of the most foul mouthed, bogan, arrogant and utterly pathetic supporters ive ever encountered in my football viewing days. One even coughed all game right on top of us until i finally moved at 3/4 time.

The crowd seemed to be worth at least 3 goals and being a Collingwood home game and the way the game unfolded, they definitely had the louder voice.

We need to turn up both on the field and off it.

With the inclement weather on the cards i think it will be close and decided by a few kicks in the last.

Dees by 9.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
