The question im asking is if it where up to you would you decide to win or lose? Giving whats at stake pic One and two and the possibility of wce tanking out the rest of the season.

Remember the question is if you were to decide the outcome what would you choose, not will you be barracking for the dees or anything like that.

Personally i will be cheering on the dees as i do every week.

If we win i hope we thrash them havent seen that in agesssss.

Not saying this applies to you CD but...

"I'm a MFC supporter that regularly posts on Demonology and Demonland and I love my club so much that I want to see them win a flag so I think we should lose 18 games this year so we can get two good kids in the draft.

But if Bailey thinks that getting 18 losses involves patience for bad losses, he has got another thing coming. I believe it not only possible, but downright easy, to lose 18 times and not get blown out of the water in games."

This contradiction is dominating the minds of approx. a third of the people on this forum and I'm getting sick and tired of it.

And I am going to go on record here and say that the last 9 weeks have been against teams not comparable to where we are this year (against the top 8 teams in the league and WC at Subi), and we will come out this week and beat the Coasters on our turf.

A big, fat W this week.

I want us to win 4 or less, but each and every week, I want us to win. I know that makes no sense and is a massive contradiction, but the thing is, I don't really care.

WC winning last week also makes beating them a lot more palatable for me. Also hoping for a win here.

Im in the same boat every week i get all angry and into the game wanting to win. In the end i still want no more than 4 wins.

Also i might chuk on a bet here.

So true. If posters want to Lose 18 games in a season, we will envitable get big blowouts.

The faster we can click off the losses, the better.

A win against Weagles and then I'll like MFC to take 4 weeks off.

In the context of the grand scheme of things we must lose this week and ensure the first 2 picks. A loss this week will be forgotten in a short time but if we miss picking up a player that will help shape our future then this will be a no brainer win.

I think we will win because WCE would also be dumb to miss out on a priority pick for the sake of a pointless win. If nothing else the game should be an intriguing one.

Yes. I am so sick of losing. I just need a win, because I can't see us winning any other games this year.

We could easily beat the Tigers and Freo at the G.

Perhaps even North, although they seem to be our bogey side.

Lets win this one and go back to losing streak after. Win only for the young boys in the side to gain back some of the optimism, self-respect and self belief that they had three games ago!

Is funny, you make it seem like we have a choice in what we do.

There is not a chance in hell that we will win and Nick Natanui will just be laughing at Watts the whole time as he jumps all over him. Assuming he gets a game...

we need to win... for moral building. It's a win win whether we lose or win. If West Coast win they are on 5 wins and no draft pics. if we win , we are only on 2 wins and moral buster . GO DEES

Jack Bauer is a moral buster.

I think you meant morale booster.

For those that see this game as a win-win regardless of the result, you CAN NOT criticise Bailey for winning only 3 or 4 games this season.

If you want picks, and you want to win games - you are a hypocrite who should abstain from discussion of the coach on his win-loss ratio. Because it is that very ratio that will deliver your precious picks.

We'll win against West Coast. We accounted for them easily last year, and I do think we've improved since then.

Wins against Freo, Port and Richmond are also on the table. If we lose one of them, the Priority Pick will be sewn up.

I have to say I am busting for a win. The losing is taking its toll. I'm sick of it. I want something to get excited about. We need a win badly, as a club, as a playing group and as supporters. We can win 4, so why not take one this week?

I'd hate to think what this place will be like next week if we put in another stinker and lose to West Coast. It just can't happen.

We need a win now.

If we go much longer without a win, I'm going to start to think that when we finally do win and the boys sing the club song, there might be more players in the middle of the circle celebrating their first win for the club, than there will be players actually making up the circle.

Ok, that's exaggerating. But still, we need to win.

Just a note, Centrebet has us as $2.16 underdogs to West Coasts $1.70. I might just take a dip at that $2.16.

I doubt we'l beat port or kangas as you've left out, so i think 4 wins is the maximum if all goes well anyway.

We have a very good record against Port in Melbourne. They've only beaten us once. I think we're more likely to beat them, than the Eagles.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
