Satyriconhome

Went to the Demons shop on Fridiay to get my 2013 guernsey CC was there tidying up some things as it was his last official day at the Club First thing he said was to thank ME for supporting the club Told him how I felt and how he was a scapegoat He has always put the Club first He said he was going to do a bit of study and media work for the year I made a joke about giving Caroline Wilson the No 1 ticketholder at MFC He is not a fan

Good grief agreeing with rpfc again, had a busy weekend, so only getting on here now, these games are a slightly better standard practice game The normal suspects on this board who want to whinge and doomsay have done so Like the fat guy who sat behind us at Etihad, who looked like he would get exhausted getting out of his seat, beer nn hand, abusing the players for the full 80 nimutes for not making an effort, don't know why he watched Told Mark Neeld at the Family Day that I thought we were a bit sloppy but thought also there was a bit to like, and he agreed Hawthorn lost both games and Buddy Franklin was awful, believe Al Clarkson is suicidal...NOT

Haven't seen a ball kicked in anger for 2013, think the team is already crap so start a thread about what may eventuate in 8 to 9 Months time.....amazing......we have already recruited to fix the perceived shortcomings in the midfield....or I think we have

Are they?.....not a ball kicked in anger.....if you want to start with an inferiority complex that's your choice......Jones, McKenzie and Grimes are not average, all have had a complete preseason, throw in Rodan, Magner, Sylvia....and then Viney and Toumpas...I am quietly optimistic.....not rose coloured....personally I think we will have a break even season.....and in my opinion so will Richmond

Why is the Richmond midfield better....oh that's right it has got them into the finals the last few years hasn't it.......no not really but the media says so, so it must be right........let's wait and see shall we...our midfield is completely different....Richmond has no idea how it is going to perform.....we know exactly what Richmond has to offer.........there is no Foley tomorrow......Cotchin is now captain as well....who says the pressure won't get to him.......

If you want to start that before the first game, why not others on here will want a scapegoat whether they are playing or not...sigh..

If you think that players can't hear what is being said/shouted/hurled etc, watch the reactions of some players when they get near the boundary and particularly if they do something really good......they can hear

Hartack, yes I agree a bit of levity, but there are two topics on this board this morning where I would say puerile is a more apt description to some of the posts, personally I can't wait for the footy to start so posters, including some of the above, can get back to whingeing about everything MFC....and how it is all Cam Schwab's fault

This is humour?

Knowing Etihad the tickets will be about $20 for an adult on Level 1 and 3 and some ridiculous amount for Level 2, don't drink and have dinner at a cheap and cheerful before the game.........I am spoilt...live 15 mins from the G and work 5 mins from Etihad

Do you intend to turn up at 6.44?.....the gate has never been a problem if you go to the windows at the end of Spencer St concourse, would be very surprised if 10000 was max attendance on Friday........

I am really beginning to worry about myself, yesterday I found myself agreeing with Old Dee and today with rpfc, what is my life becoming Totally agree Let's move on IDGAF seconded

It says CC will be employed, or can you read between the lines? or is this what you want personally, if so then say that

Good grief Old Dee we agree on something, wasting your breath I'm afraid, the queue for the spleens that need venting starts on the left I think....me I'm looking fwd to Friday...........no other comment on this, IT'S OVER...MOVE ON...

Here we go 3 pages and counting, all sanctions have been accepted by all parties.....END......... MOVE ON

What I am saying is I go along and watch a Footy game, if we lose, nobody dies,, we may win the next week....it doesn't rule my life, it doesn't set my mood for the next couple of weeks or so, it is footy.... .I have played footy and I have coached...but not at AFL level..... .I support the coaches and players.....yes I will groan like the next person when we turn it over with a bad decision or kick.. ....but hey it's a game.....that is part of the enjoyment....it plays with your emotions for two hours...it is entertainment.......... ....I have posted before I am constantly amazed why somebody would willingly put themselves through something that they obviously don't enjoy....I go because I enjoy the game and everything it brings An opinion needs to be backed up, we have posters on here who will present and argument or opinion and back it up with good reasoning, I may not agree with it but I will read it......... ..but the constant "we are s**t and always will be" becomes tedious.... .it would be nice to actually read a topic where each post presents a reasoned argument.....there are no personal attackes "Stupid post" being an example.......or a topice being hijacked.......but I can't ever see that happening edit for some appalling spelling...somebody wanted to talk work whilst I was typing this, how inconsiderate

I just get a bit bored with the constant "oh no what if this happens" "will we be any good" "players are soft".....I have the attitude I have never coached or played at AFL level so I don't know what is required....so I don't knock the players or coaches This is footy....you go along to the game, if we win it is good and enjoy the next day or two, if we lose, p*****d off on the walk home, forgotten and look forward to the following week If posters on here think that there is not going to be any improvement this year, quite simple, save your money and don't go and watch, that way I don't get the constant negativity shoved down my throat on this board. The board is for all supporters, we may not necessarily agree with each other and not share the same opinions......my opinion I am bored with the negativity....but I want to continue to read and contribute to the board, so I am expressing how I feel

Mark Neeld must be feeling warm and fuzzy with all the unconditional support on display here......if anyone thinks they can do a better job, can you let the rest of know when you will be applying for a senior coaching role.............

????????????????????????????

So what are you basing that wide sweeping statement on?

I wasn't at the game so I was hoping to glean some information from the reports, found them all very interesting, but the harping on about the kicking in the first hit out for the year is a bit grating..... I am not wearing rose coloured glasses, been to enough training sessions....and hoping for a break even season..... the kicking will improve,it will have to or you wont't get a game.... the intensity will lift, but we are like a lot of other teams, the plan will be to get the ball in the hands of the good kickers if we need to

Oh look it was the first competitive hit out for six months, and some kicks missed.....damn!!!!!

Moonshadow, was having my afternoon break when I read the GiG post, was going to entertain myself by answering it, once I had stopped laughing of course, but you have beaten me to it You are wasting your time, GiG has an opinion and there is no way he will let facts get in the way

No I was trying to be ironic, only my second post into this topic, not interested in it, it is all, Caroline Wilson included, a lot of hot air about nothing, Don McLardy has answered for the Club, end of story edit, missed a couple of words....distracted

I suggest to anybody that is having a go at Caroline Wilson and her ilk, to not throw stones....in this age of instant communication, you need to try anything to stay ahead of the game......look at some of the 'facts' that are broadcast on this board.......a lot of the stories start in the 'social media sphere' I think that is what it is called........you reap what you sow
