Why are the Demons still so piss weak in 2018?

[SonofScray]

I just knew they had another performance like that in them. There is a hubris about them, a sense of entitlement that poisons the story they are trying to tell about themselves.

Couldn’t get over how weak they were in the contest yesterday! Viney, Jones, Oliver etc looked so timid. Just a horrendous performance, it’s like they just expected it to happen

Geez you guys are too much. I'm at the airport now and I've seen a few Melbourne supporters and my heart breaks for them. It wasn't long ago we had a drought that seemed like it never was going to end. I don't know how so many of you could experience so much glee in another teams failure. Kind of sad really.

Viney was a 'courageous warrior' yesterday according to the desdshits on Ch 7. That flop trying to get a reversal on McGovern was Riewoldt 2009 PF levels of courageous.

This thread aged ok after all

Consider it karmic justice for the Jeff White on Wayde Skipper travesty.

My biggest problem with them was that the supporters and team seemed to think that it should just all fall into place for them - Dogs drought over, then Richmond's, must be our turn. And they just didn't even give a whimper yesterday.

Mind you, if the same had happened to us in Sydney I would have been beyond crushed.

The fairytale narrative around Melbourne's 'unlikely rise' has been a complete sham.

They tanked for early picks, had huge amounts of support from the AFL to keep them afloat (priority picks, AFL funded administration & coach, Frawley compensation) and have always had a blockbuster fixture no matter how woeful they've been (Queen's Birthday) while our Club has had to fight and scrap for everything. Of course they should be rising up the ladder...they've been **** for over a decade and have a list chock full of first rounders.

They also have some A grade dickheads playing for them (Oliver & Petracca top of the list) and their fans have become increasingly smug over the last 12 months with very little to warrant it.

So, yeah...I was pretty happy to see their true colours revealed on the big stage yesterday.

Grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Dry Rot]

At least the Dees seconds kicked some goals in the first quarter.

Promote them all to the firsts next year!

Funny, they were the highest scoring team of the year, yet couldn't kick goals in the first half. Just goes to show, if you don't work hard enough, you won't get the ball.

They have nothing but contempt for us and what we do. They thought all they had to do was remember to get to the airport on time and everything would fall into place.

That shows a complete lack of respect for our premiership win. They think it's that simple because everything they have 'achieved' has been handed to them on a plate. It's a pretty simple equation. They get some respect from supporters when they have earned it and not before. The AFL will keep providing them with the goodies though.

Titus should be in tip-top form this week. Will have a look.



"Richmond fans simply sat there in shock thinking, ‘this is going to be hard to top for the worst performance in a Preliminary final this weekend’.

It wasn’t. "

What follows next is pretty funny writing.

Red and blue had a shocker this weekend all the losers in WAFL SANFL,AFL and VFL were those colours.
