Keep With It

[shibz_1989]

I know everyone is frustrated, and I'll admit I am too.

But just remember we're supporters. Don't give up on them. Just put yourselves in their footy boots and think about how they are feeling right now.

I remember going to training in 2006, just after our huge Geelong loss. It was pissing with rain, and there were no other people watching them train, except me and a few mates. We were getting a few happy snaps with a few of them, just having a good old chat, and then one of my mates asked Dodd if he ever got sick of signing autographs and having photos. He looked her in the eye and said "Well, our fans are really important. We'd do anything for them right now."

I know it seems hard, and everyone is really pissed off and fuming and whatever else, but please, just stick with it. You have to go through the down times, to experience the good times.

Oh yeah, and to the people who left early I have no respect for you what so ever. Not only did you disrespect your own team, but you also disrespected Richmond for playing such good footy. And I bet you will be the first to bitch and moan when we finally make a grand final and can't get tickets...shame...

Will never give up on them but when they put on a pathetic display.
There is no way i can sit back an accept it

A true fan never gives up on there team but they have every right to be pissed off with a poor performance that lacked heart an let everyone know that kind of display isnt accepted by their fans.

Mate, after 14 years, i'm not going anywhere now.

But that doesn't mean that spineless performances don't give me the royal shits.

He's a smooth talker! He was flirting with her!

I made a point of calling everyone who walked past me soft. The pathetic performance put on by the players was only matched by the 'supporters' who left early.

I said to her afterwards she should've asked to go into the changerooms. He did say ANYTHING

It was nice of Doddy to say that but we have heard it all before,the crowd is our 23rd player,we love our supporters,we would love to do better.
I am sick and tired of hearing these so called players say these words with no meaning.
I am more than pissed off after the cowardly performance they gave us on Sunday.That is the worst load of garbage that they have ever delivered.
Another thing that pissed me off was to look down from block 312 and see people actually standing and clapping them off the ground,FFS why would you do that.Tell them they were crap don't clap them for god sake.
Oh and before some have a crack,I will be back there again in two weeks to see them play again,not the same players I hope,but a team who will play FOR the SUPPORTERS and PLAY for their club and guernsey.

Not only that but we are dockers supporters as well. we are used to it and i'll say in 20 years time we will officially be the new bulldogs. imagine how their supporters feel.

As someone that has followed them since 1995 (my pe teacher was their 1st fitness coach is the only sane reason i can give) I have realised that supporting the dockers is a form of masochism. there unfortunately is a bad culture/voodoo witch doctor curse around the club and if you don't like it then don't support them....all this pain will make our eventual 1st premiership all the more sweeter.

by the way living in london provides a great barrier between feeling so mad when the lose like this. I recommend it

maybe the anchor really is bad feng shui?

I see where you are coming from. But it's really hard to know what to do. Booing them off just makes em feel worse, but clapping them off makes them feel like they can get away with doing what they've done.

Friggen confusing if you ask me...

I just stand silently and look really disappointed, making sure they see the hurt and frustration. Spose you could do a little shake of the head.

i'm a big fan of the silent treatment. Straight after the stare and head shake. Then just walk away.

Haha, that prolly works the best tbh. It makes me sad and disappointed with myself when someone does that to me.

Keep it up shibz, it's supporters like you who keep us where we are right now !!

Cam's done a wonderful job keeping the players away from the members, after the game Heck, if you don't have to front up to those season ticket holders after an insipid performance at home, why would you care much about anything...........except cashing your check on Monday.

Care to elaborate what you meant by your first comment?

If you're trying to say that it's the fault of supporters like me as to why where are how we are, then you obviously have no idea about the type of person I am. Yes, I hate losing, but ffs, the way I see, can you do any better?

Imo, it must take a lot of guts to play AFL, especially with the continual criticism where ever you go, and no matter what you do, you will be judged. Fair enough, we played shit on Sunday, but honestly, bitching and moaning on an AFL forum, and continual criticism isn't going to get us anywhere.

Why don't you get your arse down to training and tell the players what you really think of them? Oh that's right, only supporters like me go to training

Nice try but no chocolates !!

Try seeing what goes on at a 'real' club !!

Well, if you don't like it, go support a 'real' club then. Geez, it's not hard, is it?
