I think in the article he did. But an 8-year-old doesn't have a concept or a time frame from before he was born. He just sees the present day as the only reality.

I saw 6 Melbourne premierships up to the time I was 13. Do you think my kids gave a toss about that when they just saw us down the bottom of the ladder every week?

Dad then needs to resort to the old chestnutā€¦ ā€œit builds character.ā€

Seriously though, my kids arenā€™t into footy, never were. But I liken this to when your kid breaks up with someone. Itā€™s so tough to see them heartbroken but when they eventually meet ā€œthe oneā€ - Ā like youā€™ve told them they eventually would - their happiness is worth the angst theyā€™ve endured, again, like you told them it would.

Dad needs to change his whinge energy into cushioning the blows energy.

    The Dad has no idea what to tell his son because heā€™s never had to deal with much suffering himself.

    Hawks are going the full re-build (tank) because it worked so well for them in the mid 2000ā€™s. I doubt theyā€™ll draft as well as they did back then, as just about everything turned to gold for them. They need a few realistic extra years of draft misery like us, the Blues, GC, etc. before Iā€™ll be happy.

    The sense of entitlement that club has šŸ¤¬

    Maybe we can pinch back all the bandwagon jumpers from the 80s that were Melbourne supporters?

    Thank you.Ā 

    Every year I want Melbourne to win the flag and everyone else to lose. There is varying degree of dislike eg I would barrack for Sydney against Collingwood in a Grand Final but no-one else has my heart or interest.Ā

    Sydneyā€™s effort in last yearā€™s GF was deplorable. I was so disappointed that Jeeelong got a free Flag

    I hate them too. I was at the 87 Preliminary Final ... took a long while to get over. (We kinda lost it ourselves ... Campbell, Yeats, Eishold.)Ā 

    But I think it's overlooked that we would have been hammered the next week (in the GF) had we won the PF.

    Ā 

    Interesting to reflect that under today's rules we would have won. Eishold would not have been put on that ridiculous angle and instead would have been marched out to the top of the goal square to nail down the coffin.

    Do we really want fans ready to jump ship when things arenā€™t great, while the rest of us stayed loyal?

    they would have to go through a re-education plan first, of course

    Reading about that 8 year old hawks fan really made my day. Supporting a dud team will be character building for the little brat.

    What I want is the story of the kid born from around 2012 too young to remember the Hawks flags but their earliest and only memory of playing finals is against us in 2018 bundling them out and then them go 50 years of their life without coming close to winning another flag.Ā Only that bitter memory to hang on to..

    Personally, seeing Bombers and Blues struggling and failing for more than a decade is sweet, sweet bliss. Even if the Dees struggle, this gives me as much joy as my first coffee of the day, or sneaking a custard tart when no one is looking.

    But the Hawks struggling is very close for satisfaction. Listening to Brereton, Hodge etc.. have to find ways to offer the "condemnation of faint praise" makes me feel warm and gooey inside. Long may it continue.

    There are a range of teams I'm relatively neutral on... then there are the teams I hate.Ā  Often these are similar to other's hated teams, but for me the Aints hold a special place of hate due to some crappy supporters endured all through my childhood.

    Now I've moved to Sydney, I've adopted GWS as a soft spot team.Ā  Mainly so whenever my colleagues tell me to follow a Sydney team, I can proclaim I'll never follow the Swans and that they should all really be supporting the underdogs, GWS.Ā  Plus they now have Toby!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourneā€™sĀ performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
