Kick_It_To_Pickett

A mate sent me this today. Location unknown

The weather in the rd19 game was the major factor. They scrubbed kicks inside fifty, forced stoppages and kicked some scrappy goals. The rain made our back structure useless and we had opportunities to win the game. If that’s what they are hanging their hats in, then let them. We also drew with the Hawks the week before and were in a form slump.

If we are wearing red backs, this means we’d be wearing white shorts. We have never worn redbacks with blue shorts. Very bizarre if true. We are the home team as far as this all goes, are we not? That’s how it has worked in previous years

Just a guess

Yeah we have been told by AFL and 7 to wear red backs. I reckon they announced ‘traditional strip’ hoping that we would all be none the wiser. Absolute Joke! We deserve the home strip. While it isn’t a massive departure from our home jumper, it is not our jumper.

Has anyone noticed how cocky the Dogs fans are on social media. They really believe this is all over and done with. I hope it rubs off on their players. The reasons they think they’ll win 1. We have not played as many games as them in the last month and they will be fitter??? 2. This is how they won in 2016! 3. Bailey Smith already has the Norm Smith. As a supporter group, I reckon the Dogs have become completely unbearable. We had a run in with a group in 2018. It was all the usual crud you get from Essendon or Hawthorn supports “have you ever seen a flag?” “When was your last flag” - like really? How quickly they were to forget. This is another reason I went to kick this team’s rear end into next month. Absolutely cannot stand the Dogs.

He just hides his emotion. Was the same when Jimmy died. But when he lets his guard down he loves the MFC. Bit of a defence mechanism

I’m so bloody over hearing about the bulldogs and their underdog status. “Backs against the wall” mentality. Completely manufactured narrative from Bevo. They found themselves in that position because they lost games. Meanwhile, we have come from outside the Top 8 last year. Won 9-0. Been on a tarmac for hours before flying home to win by 98 pts. Then, we win the minor premiership and get the reward of no home finals and 2 weeks in quarantine. Then after winning both finals, our GF opponent gets the luxury of a 2 week break for god knows what reason. Absolutely over the “working class hero” narrative the Dogs dish up. Half their team are elite private schoolboys, but because one grew a mullet the Western morons think he is some battler like them. I hope we smash this pack of phonies

Same number of scoring shots too. We failed to make the most of our opportunities and they got some dubious free in front of goal. Most notable was the free for holding the ball against Brayshaw

1:35am still 47 ‘Landers online. How good is it? Up the Dees

I love this club. I love every poster on this forum. Been reading for years. We have been through the highs and lows together. Finally, we are the real deal. It’s coming home

https://footyfandirect.com.au/collections/melbourne-demons I personally think the yolk on the longsleeves is atrocious

Nope

Has anyone got any info on whether we can travel to Perth and complete 14 days quarantine. I know the obvious answer is ‘no you can’t’ - I’m vaccinated and have completed the G2G form for entry. Happy to do 14 days at my own expense. Been in contact with the serviced apartments and they say they have lots of interstate travellers coming.

Looks like I’m the unpopular one. I love the Demon. So glad we have a Demon back in our logo arsenal. It’s got a lot of elements. I admit the nose is a bit off.

Smith’s positioning is fairly horrendous. Cameron will shake and bake him in a big way. I think it would be a disaster

It’s 3am and I’m still reading and watching the replay for the 3rd time

Refrained from posting on any of the threads during the game, because I knew it was all negative. So, I just want to say this: Every poster on this site loves the Club. It’s an unconditional love. It’s hard at times, because it’s been torture at times. There have been some highs, but a lot of heartbreak. We have been the office jokes. The [censored] takes. We have endured the sneers. We’ve copped a lot of crap. However, 57 years of hurt and ridicule just got put to bed. There is a still a job to do. However, as Tracc said post game, “this is for the Melbourne supporters who have been embarrassed to wear the logo”. If that doesn’t send a tingle down your spine, I don’t know that you are human. Its the proudest moment in my lifetime as a supporter. I am full of hope of what we can achieve in this finals series. We can trust this group. We can be proud of this group. They love the Club like we love the Club. It is indeed a Grand Old Flag

I can’t believe I’m typing this, it may be the lockdown getting to me, but I’d prefer to play Port in Adelaide. Whatever tickets we have we should offer to Crows supporters. Get Goodwin to rally them against the Power. They hate the Power more than they hate Victorians. It’d be a real spectacle to pull that off

Tom Morris: “significant incident. Unsavoury incident. 4 weeks” is this peanut for real? What a witch hunt. I cannot see that being more than one week. No elbow. No punch. Pathetic journalism

Reminded me of Jordan Lewis in his final year. Constantly going to ground and falling over

He was our worst player today. You cannot butcher the ball the way he does come finals

If it’s a grand final, someone should go the shirtfront straight down the middle. He deserves every bit of it

If we happen to play the Doggies in a final, I really hope we go after Cody Weightman. He runs his mouth a lot. Real small man syndrome. I would be going after him in a final.
