I’ll preface to say I am a Tottenham fan, but to quote CR7: 

“Love makes me strong. Your hate makes me unstoppable”

About time this fanbase and club grow up a bit. Who gives a [censored] if we are hated? Does that deter Collingwood? Whether people like it or not, the Houston u-turn isn’t a good look. 

I am no fans of them, but this is why I admire the likes of Djokovic and Ronaldo a lot. They turn negative press into muesli bars and eat them for breakfast, whilst putting out elite performances with each and every tennis/football/soccer match. They embrace the hatred.

Another article on Clayton

Oliver opens up on failed trade, Petracca, Demons

My favourite quotes

Clayton Oliver plans to make up for what he called “a stinker” of a season, saying he is determined to help drive Melbourne back to the finals again in 2025. 

“We’re good, we’re all sweet,” Oliver said of his relationship with Melbourne.

(This year) ‘Gussy’ (Angus Brayshaw) retired, we had ‘Trac’ injured, I had a stinker of a year and ‘Maysey’ (Steven May) was a little bit off.”

Oliver said he had been in regular communication with Christian Petracca,

“But Melbourne are looking good. We will have a big year.

I would go as far as saying that at least 80% of the AFL media really hate the Melbourne Football Club.

I can't even explain why?!

We win a Premiership after a 57 year drought. We also haven't been known as an arrogant Club since the 1950s and 1960s. If anything we have been a small humble Club that has strived to become bigger and stronger again.

Yet the resentment towards us remains?

I could probably write down a long list of viscious Melbourne haters in the media.

 

Sad but true unfortunately!

It has always seemed strange. You'd think our performances over the last however many decades would just make us irrelevant...but outsiders do seem to hate us. Maybe it's because we are a bit whingy as a football club. There is always a reason or an excuse as to why we fail. A bit like the England cricket team who generally puff their chest out and go alright when things line up for them but go to water when the real heat comes. It's hard to respect sports teams like that.

I thought I read somewhere that Pert at some stage recently said about how one thing he can always do is control the media narrative. Maybe that got a few backs up and has us in the gun at the moment. 

End of the day, the fans are all a bit fired up and would love to shut these nuffs up the only way you really can...and that is by winning. But unfortunately that means diddley squat unless the playing group shares the sentiment (and I mean really shares the sentiment, doesn't just say they share it).


The best thing happened that could have happened. The Media screwed themselves.

 Far be it from me to kick them when they are down, but i think they have made fools of themselves for what was such a prestigious body of sports knowledge and respect. It does appear as though they are more circumspect of GWS and their outbreak based on the simple principle of hasten carefully.

Basically from my point of view i would like an apology sent to Our Club, and to those maligned players individually. Has it ever been done? Probably not. But it would be a good start.

The media will never apologise.

 

 

I think it is up to us as Melbourne supporters to either call in to radio shows like SEN or Triple M to call the journalists out.  Otherwise, just ignore them all together. But that's easier said than done.

 

The bigger problem is we are seen as a "weak" football club. Especially as we let Collingwood bully us. We lost a lot of respect from the broader AFL community after that. Until the Demons learn to fight back we will continue to be walked all over and ridiculed.

It would be nice if Conor Mc would like to spend a month or two out here around the Club for a little holiday and to "athchogain"

Where are fact checkers when you need them ? (forgot non experts as proven ,work for facebook ).

Winning games on a regular basis is the only way to keep the Media Vultures away….

Anyone else sick of Michael Warner’s style of agenda journalism and the way he’s gloating today about so-called arrogance from the MFC.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

My mother used to say a half truth is worse than a lie. 

There’s a lot of that in the media these days.

Yesterday, Michael Warner boldly stated in the Herald Sun:-

“At least four of Smith's Melbourne teammates have been sweating on the outcome of the trafficking probe.”

Today, he opened his article on Smith’s suspension by the AFL with the following paragraph:

“Melbourne players who received text messages from Melbourne suspended teammate Joel Smith regarding cocaine will not be penalised.”

It took eight months which included the course of an entire 2024 season for the SIA investigators to clear Smith’s 43 club mates of being users of a prohibited substance. 

Thanks for the headline Mick.

When you have only missed finals twice since 07 and won 3 flags it says your culture is good not perfect that’s the difference 

Correction 4 Flags.

2007 9,11, and 2022.

 But point takenDS. 

I just hope Max has had a good break.

The poor skipper has been front and centre in this poor season and the oliver/petracca stuff.

He's fronted up weekly on his mmm radio spot & answers questions when door stopped by the media

They only celebrated our success to celebrate our downfall. Dees against the world.

Could it be any more clear that Barrett has affiliations with those that are trying to take the Club down!

Who are you referring to?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
