We are suppose to win 8 - 10 games this year. I would be happy with 9 wins. We are not going to make top 4. Calling for players to be dropped, WTF. Tonights loss was a poor TEAM effort, and West Coast read us well by blocking the corridor. We were out played pure and simple. It wasn't the umpires, or coaches, and it certainly wasn't any individuals performance.

People want too much from our list. Let them build as a team. 8 - 10 wins this year. Next year, Finals maybe, MAYBE. And after that, IT'S TIME!!!

The skills were obvious tonight. Poor kicking, poor marking (to many dropped), POOR RUNNING and no contesting marks. So what if we thrashed the lions. Lets get back to reality. 8 to 10 wins, and we are on the way.

Be happy and keep supporting. It's all about game experience with our young group.

2 many kicks directly to the opposition, same as last week.

Are we? According to whom? 10 games will almost put teams in the 8 this year.

... We are not going to make top 4

LOL what kind of fool would think that was possible???

Not directed at you "d me"

Inconsistant football will probably get 7-9 games, seeing as though MFC come close to or win the games not expected of them (Pies, WB, Lions), and lose to games when they are favourites (NM & WCE). Who knows what may happen this year.

According to me and every single stats reporter known to man. It's over a 1/3 of the season, and WE ARE ON THE WAY to winning 8 to 10 games. Could you please give me any insight as to a team making the finals with 10 wins the last decade?

Dont get me wrong, would love to see MFC playing a final this year.

Essendon 10.5 wins 2009, so technically 10 wins

Can understand your point, except for one thing.

We have a heap of young players who need to be given plenty of game time during the season & who have been doing well at Casey - Morton, Cheney, Gysberts, Jetta, Wonna, McNamara etc etc.

It's much harder to turn players over while we're winning. If losses like this have a bright side, it's an opportunity to give these young players a chance and drop any of the older ones who are underperforming.

I see your point (not sarcasm), I could not resist

I agree with you Akum. I meant dropping players for thier performance tonight. But as you said, Rotate the players and give em a game. We are not going to win a flag this year, so give em game time.

Agreed we were outplayed......agreed it wasn't the sole problem of the coaches or individual players, but poor team play.

Don't agree people want too much from this list. What we want is what we have seen them deliver already this year....ferocious tackling, quick ball movement, and some genuine sense of urgency and passion.

The hallmarks of what made us competitive at the start of the season...........and that is quite simply a mindset / attitude issue.
