Last week i was gutted but loved the effort.

This week i'm absolutely filthy by the contempt our coaches and player's showed for an entire quarter. Should not have even been in the position we were in at 3/4 time. 8 goals in a row ffs, with absolutely no changes in tactics or effort on the field.

Not happy

Sums up my feelings too.

We had American friends with us at their first ever afl game, they were perplexed after the 3rd quarter, - why did the Dees stop their intensity? 

Hope the the players fell this loss badly. 

And had nothing to do with those out, the team today let themselves lose.

unimpressed.

Reminds me of an old joke.

One day Ethan showed up to work, only he wasn't Ethan any more, he was Evonne. He'd had a sex change operation.

"Geez", we said. "Did it hurt when they ... you know .. chopped off your ... you know."

"Yeah" said Evonne. "That did hurt, but that wasn't the thing that hurt the most."

"And it must have hurt when they pumped all that silicone into your chest."

"Well, that hurt too. But that wasn't the thing that hurt the most."

"What was it that hurt the most?"

"When they cut my salary in half."

 

(The traditional ending is "when they scooped out half my brains" but in this modern day and age no one would dare try that one on. Unless you don't care for all that political correctness, in which case choose the ending that suits your particular outlook on life.)

I"liked" this post, until I read the small print, that is

I like it. Finally we renounce Mamby Pambyism for good I hope. Sorry mums if it frightens the kids.

 

Not in the slightest 

Rohan Connelly was equally nauseating on SEN this morning, went on for ages. Was there any other games yesterday?

Enjoy your view from level 5 !??

No, level 1 but goals area, if it's amongst saints, then we're in trouble

Me too!

I just got 3 tickets at $20 each, instead of $50ea. So thanks a lot for the tip, if I knew who you were I would buy you a beer at

half time

Wayne Ludbey photo from today's training. To be honest, I'm more troubled by the royal blue shorts than the platinum hair.

Yuk

Such an illustration of our dismal recent history, that none of us can quite get our heads around that Lewis chose us.

Also Lewis deal will not get today according to slobbo, but will happen

SEN -Robbo just said all the rumours about Melbourne and Rockliff are incorrect. He's certain that absolutely no way he is going to the Dees

Thanks LH, but no nothing to report

Further to that, the Hogan info was shared when clearly it was a done deal. I would conclude from that, that no deal yet is 100%.

Thanks LH, but no nothing to report

Alternatively Clarko went to Mitchell and Lewis and thanked them for taking huge pay cuts for many years to win 3 flags and devised a plan to get them both big pay days before their careers ended. Mitchell was already keen to work for Adam Simpson, so Clarko released him to go play at West Coast for a year and use that leverage of playing for a big assistant coaching contract to follow his playing days. Lewis is slowing down and instead of just 1 year at Hawthorn before getting pushed out by Mitchell and O'Meara they used the leverage of being disgruntled to get a 3 year deal out of Melbourne. 

The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle of the two but I'm not convinced Hawthorn will suffer at all from this and the players will likely benefit. 

Yes, except for hawthorn coming out on Friday declaring Lewis a required player, and that he is not tradeable

Really sad news and a complete surprise last Sunday on Offsiders, when Caroline Wilson mentioned her illness.

i admired and was a little in awe of her courage and thick skin. Refused to be intimidated by the NRL boys club.

I understand you can't reveal your source but is it a different source than we've heard reported here recently? Is it a primary source or heard from someone?

Primary

Very confident hogan stays, announced soon, strong source

Heard today that the problem is with the manager. He is Western Australian and has no feeling for the dees, therefore would suit both his WA sensibilities and his pay packet to have Jesse move home. Jesse is happy and club is confidant he would stay if it wasn't for the influence of the manager.

anyone hear Mick Malthouse talking on sen a few days ago? He described In his years as coach at Collingwood, of 2 or 3 player managers having way too much influence over players' decisions, for their own advantage not for that of the player or the club.

Just watched the game not knowing the result, what a [censored] waste of 2 hours that was. 

I not only wasted those 2 hours but also the time spent getting there and back home!

thought we'd win!

Not that I am

I hate to start rumours, but I had a chat to Jason Taylor about this, believe MFC have been in contact with every manager of every free agent or decent player who hasn't re signedin in the last two or three years just to check out the situation, may have even spoken to certain managers more than once

Who are the Victorians? Surely it can work the other way, homesick Vic boys wanting to come home.

So you think a 20 year old and his manager are "out thinking" the experienced professional traders and thinkers at the MFC?! That seems unlikely. 

Im not saying Hogan is gone, but that we now are requiring he decide now, and we'd only do that if we were OK with him going now, in fact have plans by which we would benefit from it. 

 

Hope you're right

Put's it all into perspective. All the attention around his contract and meanwhile he is dealing with this.

Fantastic Jack!

Did anyone hear Finey yesterday morning with Robert Shaw? Wow did he give us a serve! Very, very cross on behalf of us poor old Demons supporters. It was hilarious, doesn't do things by halves that bloke.

Felt uncomfortable, but was sort of barracking for the pies in this one. Failing winning and booting the Hawks out of the 4, the least Collingwood could have done was to inflict season ending injuries on a few of their match winners...
