Very Jaded

I am sure they will, but a 5 day break between games is hard, even if they are in the same state

You forgot playing West Coast at the MCG. I was negative years old when this last happened.

I suppose you just don't know. Freo, Port and Lions could all dip. Nobody expected Freo to be so poor in 2023 or Port to be so strong either. But on paper this looks a hard draw. At least we get a proper mid year bye and our travel is more evenly spread out, and the two weeks in Adelaide are pretty much going to be one intestate trip from a conditioning perspective as I doubt we will fly back in between games.

Yeah what a bizarre scheduling Why make us have such a short break? I suppose we will stay over in between games, but it's still a big ask to back up against two good sides in such a short time. ON THE PLUS SIDE, NO GEELONG IN GEELONG!!!!

God it would be amazing if they flop again

Amazing. I'll get home at 11:50pm instead of midnight. What. A. Win!

That's nice of him to acknowledge our fantastic supporter base. No doubt we will also be the only one of this 'big four' that ends up playing in Geelong

You would HOPE this round 0 gimmick means we get a proper break around ANZAC eve which is a Wednesday this year. And I hope we asked the AFL for a real Bye this season, so our players can get the time off they deserve.

So far every Dees game they've released has been one I can't attend. Always keeping the loyal members in mind is the AFL!

What a disappointing display after such dominance early in the season.

I have no idea WTAF your problem is with me, but feel free to ignore me as I have you in recent months. Max said absolutely nothing. In fact the media put the words "tough love" out there, Max said literally nothing except that we have a strong cultural foundation. WTF do you expect him to do or say in this instance? He went to the races and obviously they put a camera in front of his face. If he says no comment, the media would have a field day with that. Oh the captain is refusing to speak, Melbourne captain not standing by the club's culture etc etc You yourself called them grubs. They would leach onto anything, spoken or otherwise. Max is in a no win situation.

Oh yeah Max refusing to speak to the media would absolutely not result in more negative publicity for the club. The media loves to be ignored.

I got an email on the 25/10 saying it was sent out... yet to receive it. Probably should follow up

And Gus doesn't get knocked out by that POS Maynard

Even sadder, I was one of the OGs who migrated from the old platform and was a test user on this site when @Nasher was building it back in the day. He of course will deny this, but we are both much older and wiser now 😅

The problem is that some posters are happy to stay in the lane of only what is in the public domain, but many others don't. You've seen it, we've all seen it happen in every one of these threads. So unless you want to volunteer to monitor every one of these threads 24 hours a day 7 days a week, there is just no other way to prevent these conversations from steering into the wrong lane and getting Andy into trouble. I would rather not see Demonland have to close down, and I am sure you wouldn't want to see that happen either.

Schache or Grundy, the bottom line is, if Gawn nails his 2 gimme shots on goal we win. End of story.

I am going to argue that ****house goal kicking cost us a PF.

Just to be clear, Andy aka @Demonland doesn’t owe anyone anything. He pays to run this site so that sad MFCSS suffering losers (like me 😂), can spend too long chatting about irrelevant things relating to our football club. He has a job and a family and a life outside of this forum, as do the rest of the volunteers who run this site (shocking I know!), and he shouldn’t have to take any risks to his livelihood or his personal lives to satisfy the need of busy bodies. If you want to discuss rumours, innuendos and highly contentious issues freely, go to BigFooty or better yet start your own discussion board. I’ll be sure to pop by and write loads of content with the words culture in it.

Also don't forget our poor culture. It's why Clarry and Trac are top 5 for votes but no Brownlow to show for it. Poor poor culture.

Well done to him and complete respect for coming back and rehabbing a seriously horrific back injury. The need to cut down ex players is really sad. He has worked his behind off to get a third opportunity and I wish him all the absolute best, even if I despise Freo and want to see them fail.

#culture

I hear it was Max Gawn. He flew from Fiji to dislocate the men’s shoulder in Bali, then flew home to find Clayton Oliver has burnt his house down. I read it on Twitter so it’s 100% true.

I blame our poor culture
