Drafting a future plan.

I'm hoping for a win next week (because one of my mates goes for the Coasters!), Fremantle and Carlton (mainly because in our good years we kept losing to them despite them being on the bottom).

I don't know why anyone wouldn't hope for 3 more wins, get as much pleasure as you can!

yeah i hope we get 4 wins! would love it to be against carlton in round 21!

More likely to be richmond though.

If we lose next week, we will definatley finish bottom of the ladder regardless. Richmond will win another game.

I'm not a gambler, & I don't wish to tempt the fate gods for my short term pleasure, & put at risk all the hard endured pain, just to see it all go up in a puff of smoke @ the hands of Miss Fortune.

We could lose the extra pick in the blink of an eye.

Whats the bet we win next week.

It would take a massive turn of fortune for us to win 4 more games this year, considering the garbage we've served up in the last 3 weeks. I'll go on the record and say there's NO WAY we'll win 5 this year. Hell, i don't think we'll even win 4.

Eagles beat us next week and it's pick 1 & 2 signed sealed and delivered!

The Eagles players probably feel like they could win another few games for the rest of this year after beating the Hawks, and they've got the home games in the run home to do it. Winning last night basically tells me that the priority pick is not of huge priority to them anymore. Winning 3 or 4 more games and finishing with 7 or 8 wins this year looks more likely to be their goal now. Even if we beat them at the 'G (which i don't think we will).

Relax dee-luded man, it's in the bag! ;)

Thats right, a loss next week is the best, bad tasting medicine we can have. After that we can fly.

The fewer priority picks dished out the better for us.

PS: I think we all want the same thing, fairly certain. But it doesn't come for free, it costs & it hurts, but the hurt is nothing compared to the hurt of being the kicking bag of the competition for a cumulative 4 & 1/2 decades.

This AFL competition is not going to allow us, to get to the top, we have to take every opportunity that presents us a chance.

If the Eagles beat us they'll probably start thinking finals.

The scary thing is we have a chance against West Coast, Port, North, Richmond and Fremantle. We go from playing basically top 8 teams for the past 13 weeks to have a draw that sees us play the bottom 5 teams(above us). We have only played four teams curently outside the 8 with one being Hawthorn.

Posted

This is a fixture loaded with 120m par 3's in the last 9 games.

From Rd 5 to Rd 13 we have played Adel, Geel, WCE (Subi), WB, Haw, St K, Coll, Ess, and BL (Gabba).

The top 8 IMO with the Coasters in Perth. 9 games that we showed the good, bad, and ugly of the MFC in 2009.

Now in the following 9 we play WCE, PA, Rich, Freo at the G, and NM at the worst stadium in the world.

We will see in those games where we are compared to our immediate contemporaries.

Hopefully we have 3 good wins out of those 5 and that's all...

I read through too much bullsh!t (especially over the last month) on this forum not to get Picks 1 & 2 now.

Posted

Oh, come on! Surely some of us are craving a win. We are the joke of the competition, our kids know nothing but losing. V. WC should be winnable. I want a win!

Posted

These are a dangerous few weeks.

If we lose them all, then we are in even worse shape than I thought and I will have to rip up my membership.

Win too many and I will have to rip up my membership.

To be honest we could possibly lose the rest of the matches we play. They look uninspired and non-interested. We need Davey to play half forward and or Aussie to come back. Serious problems at our club. It's one thing to give away the ball needlessly, its another to lack intensity and passion. Don't think we have to worry about losing priority. And next year could be another downer if those middle tier players don't step up (Bartram, Dunn, Bate, Petterd, Jones, Johnson etc)

Posted

Im thinking the same. Other teams that were struggling and rebuilding have at least got a few wins here and there and play with some passion. The distance between us and west coast/richmond is growing. People pencil in port adelaide as a game we will win???? They will smash us.

I agree Jack. After Sat. game we will struggle to win another game. So don't worry about losing the draft picks. Even Fremantle away will beat us unless some of our players get some of the passion back that they showed earlier in the season. Play for each other and the club and US.

Unfortunately, unless the boys can identify during the week how to lift their intesity and work for one another like they were earlier in the season, they'll continue to be a long way from gaining 4 points. Ironically, West Coast of all teams showed what can be achieved if you do this.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
