The heart beats true

You don’t understand the context of what I said Dazzle. I never said any of what you implied. Everyone is free to say whatever they want - even those who admitted THEY HAVEN’T EVEN BOTHERED TO WATCH YESTERDAY’S GAME, yet want to come on here and write a thesis about what’s wrong with the club.

I agree. This round of footy has proven how tight the competition is. This might the year where doing the simple things well make all the difference.

Who said that? Where? Or is this just you making stuff up again?

Jaded had a rant about a lot of stuff that I never said. I’m happy to discuss the team, and the psychology of sports fans - but I never said, or inferred, anyone was a bad fan. I simply said I have a bias that makes me see a lot of the same negative posters after a loss. I’m sure a lot of other posters also have the same bias that means they see certain posters opinions post loss and think ‘here we go’. I was actually using that statement as a way to relate to you @layzie as a fellow fan, and to highlight how we all see things differently. It’s a shame another poster twisted my words to suit their own negative context - or maybe that’s just my bias talking again ;) I like your style Layzie. Don’t go changing. Call it how you see it ✌️

Did you even read what I said? I never said any of what you spent so long responding to. Sometimes you love an irrational rant Jaded.

If we didn’t win today then literally ever other result works for us.

It’s funny you say that Layz. As a more optimistic supporter I feel like a lot of fans on here love a loss - so they can have a real crack at the club. We all bring our own biases I guess. In the end we all just want success.

I mean, maybe watch the game and then have a rant. Context is everything.

If Demonland was a band ‘Hysterical Neurotica’ would be the title of our greatest hits album.

Well, by Demonland logic Geelong must have fluked last years Premiership?

It’s not all bad!

Apparently it’s good fun

This place is nuts today! Let’s all talk down when we won the Premiership! That is actually insane.

What a joke. We won that flag in one of the most awe inspiring displays of football brilliance the AFL has ever seen. You can be as annoyed as you want to be about today, but don’t use it to rewrite our history.

The forward separation can’t be blamed on the players. It’s clearly a coaching decision. Fritsch and Koz are the only 2 players who ever get any separation. The other players are coached to stay together.

The way he’s going that probably makes Carlton better.

Yep, and it doesn’t need to be all doom and gloom. It’s super disappointing, but it’s also a fairly pragmatic approach to take when looking at where we currently are. Our bottom 10 players aren’t getting better collectively, there’s just been a few highlights from young guys like McVee and JVR. On the whole we haven’t gotten better, and we’re lacking confidence across the team. Nobody would just finish the job today, they all wanted to give it off. I think we are a finals side, but I think on current form not much more. It’s a shame, but it’s a tough competition and too many of our players haven’t improved enough to lift us further.

This is a myth. We aren’t the most talented list in the AFL anymore. We have 2 genuine forwards - Fritsch and Pickett. Everyone else forward of the ball is very young or NQR. 90% or our list has stayed the same or gone backwards in the last year. We are a 6-8 side. We haven’t innovated enough with our game plan, and have given sides far too much of a look at what we do, without enough variety. It sucks to admit, but it’s now pretty evident.

We are a 6-8 side. It’s that simple.

I’m genuinely embarrassed

Put a fork in us

You including yourself in that?

100%. He can be a stay at home gun, or a running Centre Half Forward. If he was in our forward line we’d win the flag for the next 5 years.

So my big take away from this game is that we should have a Didgeridoo player after goals in Doug Nichols round. The rest of the game can get in the bin.

I just got an email from the club telling me how to forward my reserved seat tickets onto others if I couldn’t go. I think this is a great idea. I’ll be there, but I know some people can’t, and that way the seats are filled with Red and Blue. The club is really trying to get this right.
