Is this a drinking game? Drink 6 pints for every behind we score? I would certainly be done by first quarter time.

I am guessing you are 5 foot 6"?

I have the belief that the situation up in Brisbane is the same as in Port. Wasted great lists and home ground advantage for years, and the coach could be sacked soon due to lack of finals success. Although Fagan has more credit because at least they got to a GF unlike Port. I do hope we can contribute to that this week 🤞🏻.

Isn't the MFC a founding club? Sort of fabric of the game.

Ditto Pendlebury, he was a Dees support as well.

I stopped discussing footy with Collingwood colleagues at work, not worth it. Just made me mad every time and they are stubborn as hell. But as they say, don't feed pearls to the ...

Wouldn't be surprised if the spud d** Cox ends up hurting Max, you know he is all about using knees.

I have enough hearing this from colleagues at work, delusional filth supporters 🤷🏻‍♂️. Collingwood is the be all end all according to them, the cornucopia of football. 🤢🤢🤢

This may be an off topic post but I overheard a Filth supporter at work saying that Petracca should go to Collingwood because after all he grew up as a Collingwood supporter. I am pretty sure that Petraccas opinion and sentiment towards the filth is much different now than it was 15 years ago.

Surely Petracca and Rick are front of the list for new captain/vice.

This...and I think the way Taj has been on and off the squad is now affecting his confidence, he's struggling at VFL when before he always looked a level above VFL.

The example you put here is a bit tongue in cheek, sorry if it's perceived as offensive. I was following on @Demon Disciple post about the sinking ship.

Sorry to hear that WCW, I can relate because mum has been dealing with one tumour the last 3 years. As a son it's hard for me specially with her being 13,000 km away. Hope your kids can offer you the comfort and support you need in these challenging times. After a goodnights sleep I have decided to stop my bickering about our coach, as much as I still consider a change of coach is due. Nothing I say here will change things so I will take a chill pill and try to look at the bright side of things, I loved Rivers in the midfield and Kynan Brown efforts, I also hope to see Taj given more opportunities.

I am currently drinking a 'concrete', a Betty's burgers concrete shake. It has definitely improved my weekend 😁

I still think we should've at least reached a PF, specially in 2023. But now it's all a moot point.

Thanks for your thorough analysis and understanding of the different supporters that live anonymously here in DL. I appreciate you have provided some perspective on how to enjoy the ride and to focus on the positive. I think many have said play the kids, and I would be happy if that actually happened. I would like to see Taj, Kynan, Tholstrup, Jefferson, Sestan more on a regular basis. Really give them a chance, play 3 or 4 weeks in a row and see what we have. Add to that, Turner to the backline.

How did you feel about the way K Brown debut was handled? I feel we are not doing justice to our F/S players, see Taj. It may explain why these kids sometimes have confidence issues even at VFL level. Must be very frustrating to be given such a small opportunity and then be dropped the next week.

He is far from his best, it's almost as he was abducted by Aliens last year around June and the Clarry we have today is a bad clone or something, can't believe the quick decline from just 12 months. Really it's hard to know what's best to do with him. I think the real Clarry is still somewhere inside him, but how do we make it flourish again?

No need to criticise the Deebrief here. It's just a different approach to the same feeling, the Melbourne Football club. I enjoy both podcasts for different reasons. Both have merit in my view.

I'll just ask the following: If we find ourselves 2026 with no finals wins, so no more premierships from this current core, would you find yourself disappointed? Specially looking back at October 2021 and what you thought about our future?

Please be honest with me WCW, I can take any criticism. I have said before that I consider myself a bit cynical and negative, and I can be perceived as "bagging" the club. If anything I bag the coach because, in all honesty, I lost any faith in him and I am far from the only one here on DL or in the social media. I applaud your fortitude to maintain a positive spin on things even during the dark days, but I think everyone lives and feels the sport in different ways. I care for this club to maximise what it has in terms of talent and potential, feels very frustrating the way they have performed in the last 5 weeks. I only ask to not be disingenuous as I don't keep talking about the coach every day and in every topic, I only do it when the topic is being discussed. I just spent two weeks overseas and pretty much I did not engage at all in DL. I only try to voice my preference for the club to be brave and make some real changes for next season, I know I am being silly because guarantee you no-one from the club reads DL and if they do, they won't listen to ED14 and his uneducated takes. I will be back to the G next year, despite some people asking me to abandon the club. I believe this club deserves best, as I have come to know the history and the significance for the sport that this ancient club has. The only thing I can do as an individual is to go to the G and pay my membership to provide some economic and passionate support, small as it can be. 🔴🔵 Always, ElDiablo.

I will pay membership, you can see my posts from previous years. I am not, at least not in my personal opinion, a guy with only negative opinions. You are correct the way things are going this year are not bringing me much joy, that doesn't mean I will just jump ship and abandon the club. I only provide my comments on what I think is wrong with the club and what can be done to fix it, it hurts to see a premiership list being wasted, again that's my opinion many may or may not agree.

Names please? I couldn't pay a membership this year, will do the next and the next after. Even if we are bottom of the ladder.

I say sack Yze, we might need him at the Dees soon 😂😂

I couldn't afford the membership this year, certainly will be back next. I am only commenting on what I could see and hear on the TV. That's why I asked people here on DL who may have been present at the G.
