At what stage this year were any of the games certainties?

Why SHOULDN'T West Coast win at home against ANYONE they play? Why SHOULDN'T any team beat the team they are playing?

Next year there will still be some iffy games, the year after is when we SHOULD start winning certain games.

might consider taking Vicodin there Billy...seems you take umbrage at shadows.

Many , especially on the boards considered many of the games very winnable. Given WCE start you certainly would expect them to be ultra competitive. We're supposed to be stepping up a bit this year.. many would have thought , given where wce finished last year, then we should be putting them away...should be.. maybe not now.

I inparticular wouldnt have cemented all five at any time...all im saying is now im not convinced of any bar GC, do you now get it.. ??

Feel we can win the next five, almost have to win them. Then need to win 3 out of the next 5 to prove we are going forward. Long way off but looking forward to the Queens b/day game

im not!!

This board will be awesome to read should we lose to both Lions and Gold Coast.

3/5 would be satisfactory and have us sitting 3-3-1 and probably be in the 8.

Winning all 5 is a joke right considering what happened last night.

Win our next 2, which we should and then go into the bye. Its amazing what winning and momentum can do.

After which we should be full of confidence and fresh to make the trip to Perth and win, then our belief will grow with a game at the G against the Crows, Then bring on North Melb.

So yes they better believe they can win the next 5.

I voted 3 - The two games @ the 'G plus GC. I would be satisfied with that. 4 would be ideal, 5 just seems unrealistic on form to date (Thats not to say the boys shouldn't be aiming for 5, but can't seem them delivering on the kinds of consistency we are hoping for just yet)

More importantly can we win the Premiership in 2014,15 and 16. I hope we can because I'll be well out of patience by then.

So will most of us- but by gee they are very hard to Win.

Surely we are good enough to win 4 of those 5. If we win less than 3 it is going to be another long season. None of the aforementioned sides are top 8 teams.

For MFC to make the 8 this year the next 5 games are crucial drop 1 or 2 and its going to be an uphill battle to make the 8. (good thing MFC play GC twice)

These games will definitely make or break our season (as far as finals are concerned).

Brisbane and GC are surely wins.

Westcoast will be an interesting one. We'll be fresh from the bye and I really think its a game that on paper we should win. Our midfield should be able to out body theirs allowing our FWD's to tear them to pieces...time will tell.

Crows at home is a wait and see. I have a sneaking suspicion that the Crows are going to play finals this year.

North at Etihad: HUGE HUGE HUGE game. A team we should beat. Must beat. They have beaten us consistently for years now and enough is enough. If we have our best 22 on the park that day I will be dismayed if we lose.

If we find a way to beat NM at Etihad i will be very, very stoked.

I don't think "MFC" "the 8" and "crucial" need appear in the same sentence currently...

on topic, I would only lock in 2. >=3 would be pleasing for me.

thats fair enough, but i would have thought a team that fell short of finals by 2.5 games in 2010 would have that in their minds this year... Then again its all about winning quarters this year!!!! they can start winning games next year.

Oh Sturmmann that will get you in big trouble

Your not questioning DB I hope!

I don't have an issue with questioning DB.

I just think its pretty obvious that all decisions that have led us here were not based on scraping into the 8 in 2011...

I want us win games as much as the next "syndrome suffering" mfc supporter (can't recall the acronym we use for that around here)

To win in the next five in a row? What odds would the bookies put on that? I'd go 50 to 1 on current form. The seasons still early and some of these teams are looking hungrier than us at the moment. History has shown we always trip up when we crystal ball easy opposition on the road ahead.

adc you are very thoughtful today

Dim sum for lunch?

No.

I was not going to make comment here but just have to-

Whilst we are playing we always have a chance of winning. I feel we can Win all five. WC & the Kangas the hardest games along with Adelaide.

I see us winning two of those on current form... Maybe sneak one or both of the WC and Kangas games after. Adelaide, no chance.

Based on previous form I would think the hardest one is North.

They are like Hawthorn i.e. have belted us for years and I see nothing to suggest that will change in 2011.

West Coast is the toughest out of that lot IMO.
