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

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.

This is exactly what sums up our game against Collingwood in the final.

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.

I think that sums you up mate

We gave it everything. And Gus gave his career that night. 

Im proud of their effort

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

You must be in a mood for trolling as i clearly never said or intimidated this. 

I hope all is ok with you

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
