Id respectufully suggest sfa. Just see it in the school yard... Zane : Hey Josh...Im gunna barrack for the Dees, they came 16th...woohoo as opposed Zane's different thinking should we come last !! This sort of argument applies to teams who have a major and continued impact latter in the season.They are seen as some one to emulate. The argument ought to be in this context. how many would jump on if we were regular late September combatants as opposed to anything else

youre a Demon...of course you do !!!

Someone ought to ring in to the Ox and ask if he's seen much of him down Barwon way

Im sure that they ( Toiges ) keep thinking they are so close to success (9th will do that to you...lol ) that surely they just need a little bit more to tip them over into the 8. Again goes to my notion theyve aimed too low. Keep it up Tiges

For the Tigers the bar it would seem it set at 8th. For premiership teams its not even a ladder position, its being ahead come the final siren on the one day in September. Thats the focus of winners and thats why Richmond languish......gotta love the poor sods...lol

I would like to think the players care...its their job all things aside. But how , honestly , is it going to affect you Fossil ? will you lose sleep, will you feel like a pariah amongst society, will you not go out ? Do you paint yourself good or bad as result of your football teams fortunes ( or lack thereof ) ? its only footy ffs. I want the club to care, i want it to very much. But for me, life goes on regardless, much the same.

hopefully .....never

Ask any successful person or club or business etc about failure. A common tenet in answering will be that often its just part of attempting to succeed. That often failure in and of itself isn't catastrophic or terminal only the failure to learn from it is. Its how you go on that determines your eventual place in all things. As with much , hindsight focuses things. The season isn't over yet but its another write off effectively as far as position goes. I go again to the notion of pruning...or if in building and attempting a major remodel you might well take a house right back to a bare frame , indeed taking down anything that wont promote or support growth going forward. The OP asks how upset will I be if we were to finish last. As such and as yet I have no context in which to place such a finish. It will only gain this in a year or two. If we still languish it will be determined as yet another failed season and all that. If we are climbing and truly competitive then it will inevitably be considered just another hurdle along the road to glory. So at the moment..I don't really care. It doesn't really occupy much of my thinking. To me unless you're in the 8 every other position is just a finish.

The only way I reconcile myself to Melbourne finishing so lowly ( again ) is as I might see a rose bush after serious pruning...... there's f all left other than a main stem and enough of the correct medium to grow in together with learned nurturing.

must admit this is where I went to on this matter...It wasnt shock ( damn the jig is up ) it was incredulity !!! ( for mine )

The nature of ones offspring...or speech arent actually criteria for misogyny JR.. I get your gist but foundationally Id debate your context. Some might be scathing and call her names but thats not much different form her modus operandi and has nothing to do with a loathing or hatred of a particular gender....Id think its about 99% aimed at he lack of consistency bordering on hypocrisy.

I too thought this laughably ironic...A great step forward.....an advance to the rear perhaps. Im sure there are many improvements to the team , the plan etc etc. But a very notable point of measurement in any competitive league is where you finish. Last .......hardly anything to hang a hat on, no matter how expensive the milliner !! EOS and '15 cant come quick enough........sounds terribly familiar that...

Jumbo...I'm not sure how anyone can reconcile your position to the notion you aren't familiar with the articles in question ( or some thereof ). Im not sure ( like others ) if ever a skerrick of thought as to her gender was given when reviewing this journalists nature in quasi character assasination. Often she is only refered to as "she" because she simply is a she. Its effectively irrelevant to what many think of the writers consistency

Is the footy still going ??

Essendon confidential: 11 to see ASADA documents"Eleven Essendon board members and senior figures will have access to confidential documents supplied by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority as part of the court case brought by the Bombers and James Hird."....... and the soap saga moves along to inevitable crunch time Aug 11 with the Windy Beagles no doubt desperate to find something to hang a case on. Be terrible if they were to be disappointed One thing for sure you can count on the hangar lot ramping up their propaganda machines.....cue the 1812

but the 'rules' prevent him from declaring such....dont they

I thought drama the preserve of Playwrights.....and Facts/The discoursing of information the relative field of endeavour for Journalists !!

My view is that whilst she occasionally hits the target , many will if firing enough arrows She seems somewhat 'selective" in not only her targets but the voracity with which she writes You only need to line up articles on Melbourne and Richmond to understand her hypocrisy

concur....as if "Bit" has been redefined !!

not sure there was much to lose

either image is problematic !!

I too firmly believe that these picks are cut from a cloth that's loomed to suit Nothing transparent...all politically motivated ....all bullshlt

Keep in mind Essendon don't operate by anything resembling logic or morals. To apply anything approaching an ethically based set of standards when quantifying or qualifying anything Windy Hill does is a futile exercise. Worlds apart

Ahhhh it's a beautiful to watch unfold PAUL Little and his band of Bombers board members — some of whom escaped penalties over governance when it was their role to govern — have effectively extended James Hird’s suspension. Eternal f l o g and Hird sycophant , 'I'm an i d i o t ' Robbinson, can't quite understand that which even 'we did nothing wrong non-apologist" Little can see, that being Hird is now a lepper and must be kept away lest even more shlt should fly in their direction . Actually , it will anyways , but love Little's pseudo epithany. A crack in the dam a beautiful thing (lol Bin.. seems you got in just ahead )

Evans doesnt like us... dont get any hopes up about a PP
