Fork 'em

If I was a Hawthorn supporter I would have seen 12 flags in my lifetime. I'd be arrogant too. And reckon the Bombers will beat us. 'Cause that's what they do. I'm still scarred from when they beat us with most of their side out from drug suspension .... Twice. In the pre-season and again during the season. A typically embarrassing black blotch against our name.

As a collective, a more arrogant bunch of phlogs you'd be hard pressed to find.

Exactly how I felt. A very MFC like performance today. Proved they have learnt absolutely nothing and are as mentally weak as ever. Having said that they did surprise me by hanging on. Was sure our total humiliation would be completed.

Sucked in Geelong.

Yep, they chose between Chapman, Bartel and Moloney. You know the rest.

To be fair Demetriou wasn't interested in turning over the Melbourne tanking rock either. Mclean shot his mouth off and thenthe media got selective amnesia and relentlessly ran with it till they got what they wanted.

Robbo. Jakovich was too much of a shooting star.

If only the both of them could've stayed fit. Tingay for me. Jako rubbed against my grain abit if I was honest. I also remember watching him have a late game shot at goal to put us in front. Was thinking at the time that a true champ would kick it and we'll see what he's really made of..... He missed, we lost. Harsh maybe but I thought him a flaky footballer.

Though we lost. Have to agree.

Farmers 9 in a half.

1st half

We've learnt nothing and repeat the same mistakes year in year out. Surprise, surprise. Worst part is we can even watch decent re-runs to tide us over the football free winter. Who knows ..... I might just find it a relief not being disappointed every week.

Kicked three goals in the last qr with the boys riding Lily Mithens game winner home with 25seconds to go. Good stuff.

I could respond but you don't seem to have a clue .... So I won't waste my time.

Read 3 posts above yours. And you can fork off with your physcobabble about developement of character. My kids early lives have coincided with some of our darkest days I've taken 'em to that many poor losing games it's not forken funny. The club has the happy knack of not turning up when we do regardless of who we're playing. I said to the young bloke one QB game, "What you reckon when the crowd gets loud." "Yeah, but it's always the other teams" was his reply. The final against Geelong was the 1st win my 12yr old daughter had seen live. They are the only 3 Melbourne supporters at their school and cop plenty and now hardly give 2 sheets about football.
