A message to all magpie supporters

[MarkT]

you're mixing two different things here IMO.

If you have the mentality that we are not good enough, then you would get over a finals loss pretty quickly. low expectations.

But if you really believe we can do it - and then we fall short, then the hunger to get closer and do what it takes to get closer next time is even stronger. If that means topping up our list with a Kerr or Cousins then thats what needs to be done.

You miss my point. Week to week we all live the game and ride the results. We aren’t good enough to win the flag because we’ve had a 10 year regime that doesn’t punish losing enough, doesn’t chase the difference between winning and losing and makes excuses for their failings at every opportunity.

We have had the draft picks but we don’t have the list. We have a trade week coming up and we could possibly get the list. We shall see what transpires.

Meanwhile I will enjoy a win on Saturday and be disappointed at a loss the following week. More than happy to be wrong and go to another GF and even happier to be wrong again. I’ll always be disappointed at a lost opportunity though and I only wish the club internally was more so and less celebratory of second level accomplishment.

Have a look at who is left in the competition

Geelong - one flag since 1963 - we can barely begrudge them their position on the ladder. And we can beat them.
Bulldogs - no flags and only one GF appearance since 1954. Soft and pathetic.
StKilda - no flags since their only flag in 1966 and only 3 GF's since then. Slow and soft.
Hawthorn - almost no finals at all between 1991 and last season. Rely heavily on the Buddy factor - around the ground they are beatable.
Sydney - one flag and only 3 losing GF's since 1933. Running on an empty tank.


We are in it. Ten teams are not. We can win next week. Then there will be four left. Winning is better than losing.

A Personal Best post Timmy.

Maybe if we had traded josh for judd (plus picks) last year we would already be in a prelim.

Everyone can reflect. You arent smart because you do it too clownshoes.

what so we trade josh and leave the rucking to the raw cameron wood and the diisorientated chris bryan??

You're missing the point! i myself was more dissappointed than anyone when we lost. Im just angry at those people who look for one person to blame for a loss when the whole team was obviously down, understand clownshoes

You stupid wank. Who do you think you are deciding who is a supporter or not? Just because some of us show emotions and get angry at times at the management of our club and players doesn't make us less of a supporter than your perfect, emotionless self.

You sir, are a flog of the highest order

agreed!
please excuse us for going against the grain and being unbiased!

we are not the best team in the AFL (at the moment) so there's nothing wrong with debate about how good/bad we play. when we have nothing to discuss good or bad then that is the time to fold the club up.

supporters shouldnt be telling other supporters how to feel because a loss/win affects people in different ways. some people look at the bright side others would rather talk about flaws.

it's ok, bottom line is we can keep talking on here because that is what this site is actually for!! OPINION!!
