A stolen moment

[timD 994]

Here is the content of a post from 'jikajika', from demonology. Ominous I know. I'm copying this from demonology cause I just love it...it made me laugh and smack my desk hard enough for admin to come in and see if I was o.k.

"I confidently declare that MFC is the greatest football club ever, and nobody except a madman would want to barrack for any other team and indeed the fact that there are a couple of people cruising round the city deliberately NOT barracking for MFC is all the indication we need that there is a conspiracy against the forces of Good and all non-MFC supporters should be locked up IMMEDIATELY and have their visas revoked, or else give em visas then revoke em, and sure we've got a tendency to leap around the ladder like a fireman on meth but it's all a RUSE to sucker other dumbo teams into a false sense of insecurity, not knowing if MFC will FLY or (tank) in 2008 when in fact all MFC supporters and smart people (same/same) KNOW FOR A FACT that in 2008 MFC will FLY to the top of the ladder and win premiership after premiership after premiership, cos we have great players like Travis Johnstone who will stop being a bit of a girlysook and reveal himself in all his glory as a silky-skilled toughboy and Cameron Bruce will stop being a sookyblunderkick and will reveal himself in all his glory as a silky-skilled toughboy and Brad Green will stop his Invisible Man impressions from 2:10PM til 5:00PM on gameday and instead will reveal himself in all his glory as a silky-skilled toughboy who is not Invisible at all but in fact STANDS UP and is a LEADER and they will be great, and Neita will kick on and bag 100 and so will Robbo, and Chooka and the Kid will finally get themselves right and play full seasons and dominate and Bater will be a champ and Aaron Davey will stop wahwahwah becoz his toughboy team-mates will actually FLY THE FLAG and look out for the poor skinny little beggar and bloody Jared Rivers will finally find his way back onto the football field and DOMINATE the halfback line like only he can and Matty Whelan will stop getting injured all the bloody time and DOMINATE from his little corner of the backpocket, racing forward and booting goals and smashing fools, and Disco Carrol will grow his hair to his waist and wear TWO HEADBANDS and TWO MOUSTACHES and STILL smash the opposition around, and most importantly, Daniel Bell will play a FULL SEASON and not get injured and will be a TACKLE DEMON and boot goals from 70 metres out while smoking cigarettes and and all of us MFC supporters will be like 'read it and weep, losers' and all the weeping losers will be like 'wahwahwah, wish I barracked for MFC' and we'll be like 'bad luck! losers! but maybe you can be like a secondary supporter of the MFC, but you have to renounce your previous team publicly and repeatedly and you have to be our personal servants for the rest of our lives and still weep when MFC wins premierships EVERY YEAR, because even though now you kind of barrack for MFC, WE still like to revel in the weepiness of losers like ALL OF YOU who don't barrack for MFC but really secretly wish that you did."

and later......

"Copped a shellacking from a cowardly bunch of Essendon/Geelong/Collinw&%$ supporters yesty and felt the need to respond.

What a profoundly disappointing year. One of the highlights of my 2006 was sitting in front of an open fire and smoking a big [censored] off joint while watching the Dees finally get the edge over the Saints in a gritty and hard-fought Elimination Final.

Maybe I shoulda known better than to get me hopes up. But it hasn't been the lack of success which has disappointed me this year, it has been the lack of spirit. Once McLean went down in Game 1, it was like the entire team had taken a cruel blow, and when Neita went down with a knee injury it was pretty much season over. That's fine. I can handle that - sh*t happens. But I still expect the senior players to fly the flag, and many of them didn't. Instead they capitulated in a craven fashion when they should have been taking it up to the opposition in EVERY WAY, EVERY WEEK. Who gives a sh*t if you're playing injured or feeling out sorts? You bloody well fly the flag, you stick up for each other, you don't put in a token shepherd, you line that opposition b*stard up and flatten him, and by god you start a bit of biffo. Nothing like getting into biffo with some young bucks to get some team spirit. A bit of f*cking pride in the jumper - they may be gettin on, but at least senior players like Whitey, Junior and Neitz have that. Even little Doggy Brown. He may be bloody useless at footy but at least he gets down on his hands and knees and weeps when he loses - and I don't just mean loses the match, I mean the match, the coach, the team, the season, the supporters, the effort, the energy, the cost to all of us.

A bit more bloody passion like that if you please - not idiotic pre-season statements about how fired up the Dees are for season 2007 or ridiculous predictions that we're making a run for the 8 when we win our first game in Round 10.

I don't want a team like WCE: superhuman footy players who are individual guns and operate as a well-oiled machine, but who are also squabbling little d*ckheads in real life. I want a team of good blokes who do it for one another and for all of us and for the jumper and bring the cup back where it belongs: Melbourne Football Club.

Bring on 2008."

I loved the effort and the sentiment.

I think we have found a Red & Blue version of Joffa

When is he released? We need him on game day

[CARN THE DEES! 14]

that's brilliant!

reminds me of a letter i once sent to daniher telling him to find my a girlfriend, because i explained that when i had one we won, but without one we lost,a stat that worked pretty much the whole of 2004-3/4 of the way through 2006.

don't know how much he appreciated it, but the effort was there!
