I’m not a troll just a passionate member supporter since 1972 … I removed that word … but our club jabs stuffed up the biggest opportunity to win multiple flags ..  poor trading full stop … I believe the u23s are great ‘!

You are not a supporter. I have never seen you do a supportive post.

Just the title on the other thread makes me nauseous.  Goodwin has delivered a period of sustained success.  No real evidence of disharmony at the club. His career tracks alot like Luke

Goodwin has one more chance next year to turn it around imv.  We built a list to play a brand of footy that won us a flag. And much of that core had certain attributes suited to the type of game

That's something a troll would say.  :D

Look, you've made your point.  Your views are well known.  No need to keep repeating the same thing.

You know... it's tiresome reading people making repeated posts followed by those telling them repeatedly to stop making posts. If you put them on ignore and stop highlighting their posts through quotes, maybe they might just not be so prominent. If they trigger you, ignore them.

Easier said than done, I know, I'm guiltily of this as well. Bait is tempting.

Bringing in the big guns now. 

Kane Cornes thinks we are bad after our worst 3 months in years. Amazing insights. Re-hashing the culture BS without any proof. 

Surprised he hasn’t gone into coaching himself. Oh wait, you have to be accountable, so that wouldn’t work 

I mean, we've lost 4 straight finals all at the MCG after two top 4 finishes. That's not just rare. It's glorious in its ineptness. 2024 isn't the only blemish in all of this. We've been working towards this for a while.

last year we were a Gus Brayshaw away from winning a flag imo. if you think that is glorious ineptness, you’re not watching the same games i’m watching

Well imo we were certainly a Gus away from a GF.

Gus doesn’t get ko’d and we are in the PF and JVR probably doesn’t try to even up, getting suspended and is playing.

It’s funny, Cornes’ article is getting all the attention but earlier this week on SEN Brad Johnson had the counter argument which AFAIK hasn’t been mentioned on here. 

Collingwood tonight have become very likely to miss the finals. 

Which, if it happens, will confirm that we are the only one of the last four premiers to make the finals the following year. 

It’s time we stopped going on about “wasted dynasties” and started acknowledging that in the current era of AFL-driven hypercompetitiveness, winning a flag is difficult, and being successful in back-to-back years is even more so.

Lol how so? Our inaccuracy was what killed us on the night. Brayshaw does not fix that. Fritsch and McDonald had opportunities to in the last quarter to potentially win us the game. That had nothing to do with Brayshaw. 

Collingwood had no Nick Daicos on the night who's already one of the genuine superstars of the game.

Let that sink in as well.

So you are ok with one flag given our list under Goodwin?

OK then.

Mate if you’re not proud of how we played against the Pies in finals last year in difficult circumstances i’m not sure i can help you. 

Just agree with old mate that we are inept and move on

How did the Pies 2010 dynasty go?

or the Dogs dynasty in 2016?

The media talk up every flag team like they are amazing. 

There are 18 teams. Everything needs to click to win a flag. It’s not like we are in the years of the Cats being gifted father sons or priority picks like the hawks

Yeah I'm absolutely proud we lost a final which gave us the opportunity to bomb out again the following week second year running.

Cheers to that 🍻

Yes. I pretty much explicitly just said that.

I also consider this year to have been a significant disappointment, and I was filthy at the two finals losses last year too. 

The two concepts aren’t mutually exclusive.

It sums up the soft mentality that supporters like you carry. Happy to accept and be proud of mediocrity.

This isn't even about Gus at all. In fact if you really want to pin point the significance the loss of a player then I would say Melksham was a far bigger loss then Brayshaw.

This warrants repeating.

I know it won’t change the opinion of a single cretin, but I just like to repeat it. Coz I can. 🤩

If you are triggered, take a deep breath and do not resort to unnecessary name calling. You do this often and it diminishes your content.

Just a suggestion.

True we had many challenges last year. 

What do you think the role of supporters is? maybe to support?

But you, your tough mentality. you demand more. it really makes a difference

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
