This thread reminds me of the Game Day thread - a pervading negativity that makes it hard to read.

I just watched a fantastic game of footy with a big group of friends - desperately hoping the Pies would lose. Alas - they were genuinely too good.

Life is too short to harbour bitterness - we should be enjoying the fact that we have a team genuinely capable of winning a flag over the next 2-3 years. 

I've spent my life focussing on the positives while our team have been awful. I want to keeo doing that while we are good.

I back Goodwin in, our fitness staff, our recruiters and our development coaches, and of course our players. We are three years running top 4, and have a Cup on the shelf. 

Go Dees 

 

Good post mate. Really glad you enjoyed the game, I wish I could be more like this. Just hate the filth so much. 

Go Dees.

Set shot kicking wasn’t the issue though. The issue was rushing ‘in play’ shots. We lacked composure.

True but I don’t think it can be fixed either way too much in December. Those kicks went through in 2021 and didn’t in 2023. Same players for the most part. Just got to hope for the best. 
I don’t see players like Trac or Max ever being reliable in front of goal for what it’s worth. 

Pies were in better touch but at tge end of tge day were maybe lucky to win with the poor advantage call.

I guess we will never know.

I don't get why the umps get this wrong. I recall at least 2 against us.

If in doubt just call it back.

They are too motivated to call it.

I don't want it eliminated but gee it sucks when they get it wrong. I reckon this was the worst.

3 glaring finals facts.

We went out again.

Lions can't win at the g.

Pies won 3 close ones for a flag.

Bitter truth, and after nearly 70 years of Demon disappointments at the hands of others, one feels rather inclined to adopt another passion. 

The decision between going to football games and playing golf is getting easier by the year 

Well at least centrelink outlets are safe tonight 

Just watched the replay.  Whistle blown exactly one second before lions player kicked it in the air .

Wowed.

100k people roaring....as if he even heard the whistle. Advantage should only be called when there is an advantage.  Hence the term. Otherwise it's called the faux free 

Well, I didn’t watch that, and the result is predictable, right down to a tiny margin.

Let’s back in our all-conquering AFLW team. They’re smashing it. Let’s get right behind them.

Then bring on 2024 for both teams.

I applaud your positivity. But perhaps you should read the room 😂

It's not positivity it's more like being  objective

I think you can objectively say Pies finished first and won a flag and you can also say they are one of the least liked premiership side in the history of the AFL. 
An actual sex offender got to win a medal today. Jesus wept.

It's amazing how the close ones they won are always luck.

Try and think that stupidity through why don't you. 

The G had nothing at all  to do with the Lions losing.

It might have been an undisciplined  60 metre penalty. 

My wife who calls it sportsball just asked me who won.

I said Collingwood.

She likes to sing and started "Good Old Collingwood"

In front of our two year daughter.

We are having words hehe.*

😈

 

*At least when the kiddo got up from her nap she demanded Peppa Pig while I was watching the GF in the loungeroom, so I went to watch in another room and as I was switching it over she said "Bye, Bye. Go Dees!".

Have another drink IRW. Never mentioned the word luck.

That's really embarrassing nonsense 

 

You've done a survey?

People " say " they hate the Pies because it's a meaningless cheap cliche.

What they actually hate is the manufactured noise the AFL and press generate.

And fair enough too..we are all dumber for buying in

It's the standard trope on here.

You did say " maybe lucky"

You haven't noticed?

I apologise for assuming you were as a stupid as the people who sprout it

At a crucial moment with the game in the balance the umpire choked

Bloody hell.

My inference was solely they are an average premier team with no big finals win. Sheesh.

And a THUG! Put Maynard on King St, or anywhere away from the MCG,   he would be being poked up the [censored] right now in a prison cell😂😳🤪

I feel like in a survey of 100,000 AFL fans who aren’t Collingwood supporters, 90%+ would say they dislike the Pies. Have you ever been to a game against them? I have.
 

Their fans are vile. Their ex president is vile. Their organization supported systemic racism for decades. They applaud thugs like Maynard and Cox and alleged sex offenders like De Goey, while they cheer opposition players laying unconscious on the ground. 
 

The only embarrassing nonsense is you trying to convince a forum of Melbourne fans that Collingwood is not a despicable team and that we should somehow be happy they won a premiership?

Uhm… Dub made the cheering Maynard comment BEFORE the game even started. He didn’t know Maynard was gonna be booed.

Why are you telling Dub to grow up and accusing him of making stuff up? You know, there’s other much more pleasant ways of getting attention. You don’t have to be belligerent. 

You don't think fantasy innacurate and pointless criticism is belligerent?

I suppose not ;stupid and juvenile seems appropriate  to me.

I was pleased sections of the crowd voiced displeasure at Maynard  myself
