I'm saying we will win 2 more games at max (west coast and maybe freo or port) we won't beat Richmond because players are playing for their carees with a new coach they will try finish the season well and not lose to a team like Melbourne it's a win win situation

This post has made my day. He really can't win can he!! Win no games - SACK 'IM, win 5 or more games - SACK 'IM!

On the surface my comment may seem extreme. Perhaps it seemed like misplaced hyperbole. The 'unthinking' might have even got a 'laugh', but I'm deadly serious.

Bailey has a charter to take this club to a premiership. Nothing less. It's all that matters. If he needlessly and clumsily lets a priority pick fall through his fingers he's compromising the one thing this club covets, and the one thing that will help* preserve its future - a flag. Of course it doesn't mean we'll win a flag if we secure the PP, but there's no question that it's a massive fillip in our rebuild.

This club hasn't had a genuine star midfielder since the AFL was formed in 1990. In fact, it hasn't had a genuine star fullstop. You get a couple of stars in the side and just watch players improve around them. Many players are capable of being A graders in a team like Geelong, but you put those same players in Melbourne's side and they'll look average. Stars make players around them better.

Scully may not become a star, but by all reports he's certainly even money to do so and would be invaluable in our quest to build towards a flag. In fact he's a must.

So I'm gald my post "made your day". Perhaps you had a good chortle. Maybe even a guffaw. Bully for you.

Getting the PP will 'make my decade'.

*And yes, a flag isn't any guarantee for future survival and North won a couple 10 years ago and are still withering on the wine (for the obvious nuffies).

We all win, Bailey included if we win 2 or 3 more games

Their is a lot of talk about priority picks.

I believe we will win 5 games because we play West Coast, Port Adelaide, Richmond, Fremantle at the MCG and North at Etihad.

Obviously I will be disappointed if we miss out on pick two but look at it realistically. We have had a reasonable run with injuries in that most of our better players are available. After one and half years under Bailey we should be playing better.

How many games does everyone think we will win?

if we win 5 games the coaching staff should be sacked for doing the club the biggest dis service in history

I have a feeling that towards the year we'l win games that are pretty much pointless and have no value like a freo game late in the year that has no value just cus bailey wants a winning culture, i just get the feeling winning 4 more toward the end of the year will be so much easier.

Looking at the greater picture of where Melbournefc is at right now. The message by Stynes & Co from the outset at this time last year to members was expect short term pain as they rebuild Melbourne as a force again. At the conclusion of 2008 season Stynes warned fans to expect further pain as the club continued in the rebuilding phase for 2009. As evidenced by the clubs drafting in 2008 & the turnover of the list. Its fast tracking success. Being 1-11, playing young draftees - its part of the process.

It just shows how BLIND some supporters are. People were saying we were going to beat Essendon and I couldnt believe my eyes.

Some people on here live in a dreamworld. Our skills are just SHOCKING.

AFL IS A GAME OF 'KEEPERS-OFF'. The only way you can keep the ball in your teams hands is to be able to kick and handball it to your team mates effectively. If you have a team of people who can GET the ball, but not pass it effectively, it just means your giving the other team MORE chances to capitalize and more chances to keep the ball.

We have to remember AFL is the pinnacle of the sport in our country, and our game is about kicking and handballing, yet most of our team cannot do this on a regular basis.

Players like Martin, Frawley, MORTON :angry: , Bruce, Mclean (although last nights game was not to bad), Bartram and Moloney are just some who

have great tallents but these tallents are not kicking or handballing. You would think in a game of 'kicking and handballing' that this SKILL would be the first preference in a player, then atrribtues like hardball winner, high marking, speed, strength and so on would come in second. We should just expect the skills to dispose of the ball well to be a standard skill at afl level. As positive is that most of these players are young and will hopefully improve this skill, although it should have been already developed in their if they are at afl level.

In saying that we have some very good players with many tallents come through and they can all kick the ball VERY WELL to another team mate.

Grimes, Maric, Watts, Jurrah. Once these players and others like Scully :P come through and are our MAJOR ball winners we will see massive improvement.

Oh I lost track of what I was going to say. THERE IS NO WAY WE WILL WIN MORE THAN 5 GAMES.

We will win between 2-4 for the entire year.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
