Opinion Are The Dees the softest team in the AFL?

[jmac70]

We knew The Dees were soft after we embarrassed them in the last round, but the decision by the players to pull out of their training camp takes the cake. Has there ever been a softer team?

Post your stories of Melbourne soft serve here.

Yes

 

[legendstatus]

Melbourne FC are a waste of space in the huddle and bustle of AFL!
Oh and their fans are a bunch of private school preppie that deserve every amount of abuse that comes Their way...

jmac70 how can you say such things?

Them compared to us:

The club that recruited Ben Ken
The club that recruited Dawes
The club that let go of Lynden Dunn
The club that let go of Jeremy Howe
The club that lost to us in the last round

They are not soft, nah....

Oh but they got the Prince

 

[spartan-magpie]

I reckon Carltoon is probably on par.

My father is the toughest Dees' supporter on the planet

Chopped off all of his fingers on his left hand with a bandsaw

Put the ends in his mouth to preserve them for surgery

Drove his Kingswood by himself to hospital

Last Dees game he saw was the 1988 GF belting by Hawthorn

After that game all he said was 'they were soft'


Edit: and discharged himself from hospital after 2 days to get back to work

Had a workmate who lost fingers in a big arse rip saw.
Your old man is an alien if he went back to work after two days.
I saw the result of flesh on high speed steel, and it wasn’t pretty.

Dad was a draughtsman, stood at his drawing table and grimaced with his bandaged hand, had to get some stitches redone

He walked Kokoda at 66 and was quite chuffed. We (his 4 kids) said it was nothing compared to his father: who did the same walk with Japanese shooting at him

My sister and I cleaned up the machinery and floor afterward

Horrible

God no!!

Mum was a mad, mad Collingwood supporter.

She would have rather been celibate for her life than be defiled by a Melbourne player.

Dad is a pretty low-key supporter: he much preferred to get into nature and shoot things

What things did he shoot?

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

What things did he shoot?

Mainly foxes around the Ballan area

Also rabbits and feral cats

And, one day, a large brown trout as it wriggled across a shallow rapid

He and my uncles used to load ammo at our dining table

We also had a shooting truck - a decommissioned Korean War vehicle with big gun racks, swivel strap-in chairs, and a spotlight

Was always impressive getting dropped at school in the shooting truck

One uncle, lovely guy who played a few games for Hawthorn under 19's, was later in life about 150 kegs. He would sometimes stalk rabbits with 2 pistols, light on his feet like a ballerina.

I would sometimes tag along.

Mum would pack a cold chicken, leg of lamb, loaf of bread, fruit cake, apple pie, chicken-in-biscuits (sp), and various beverages

You can imagine how impressed the family was when I converted to vegetarianism (Edit: and studied Arts)

He was an environmentalist then.

Take Viney out of the side and they are not competitive, he is their barometer. Sets the standard, hardness and expectation.

Very interesting about the training camp, never seen the players revolt that badly at the coach. Unprecedented, unless of course he’s about to be sacked. Bizarre

I might also add that if this was collingwood, it would be front page news for the whole year and Buckley would need sacking

 

[Tarkyn_24]

To be fair, that last camp came down like a ton of bricks on them.

Well okay, maybe only Christian Salem but still...

Packed his bag like a gumby and the player group revolts. Hilarious stuff haha.

 

[Bad Horse]

No

Theyre the softest on the planet

 

[76woodenspooners]

I reckon it’s more of an indication of a very poorly run footy club (AFLPA gets called to arbitrate in a dispute between the players and the club?? What have the MFC leadership group been doing in all of this??)

 

[Schraderbrau]

Melbourne to do 2018 preseason camp at the Anakie Fairy Park.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

Has there ever been a softer team?

The only thing I will say in the Dees defence is that some of these programs run by police and former military people are absolute rubbish.

The company I worked at in my twenties sent us for a few days of team building activities. It was run by a psycho ex-air force commander and his idiot kindergarten teacher girlfriend.

A lot of my colleagues were older and not fit and these maniacs nearly killed them. Many were hurt. Then, they tried to give us a long seminar on why war was the only metaphor for business. This was the time when all of us unloaded and pointed out that watching a computer screen and chatting to people on the phone wasn't war.

Worst f*ckwits I have encountered in corporate life.

I fear that this thread might inspire them into a premiership

So what actually happened? nvm read it.
