Do you/we realise how big the next three weeks are?

[Rob Mac...... 607]

What a stupid comment. We lost that one by 25 goals. obviously that renders your point utterly meaningless.

I posted: Btw though we won 4 of our last 5 against Essendon, they kicked 484 total points V our 395 points total in those 5 games.

..which I thought some forum members might find interesting enough, as you couldn't call us equal if Essendon kicks 5+ times our score (a greater % differential than 186) then next match Melbourne wins by 1 point. Solely characterizing today as "we've won 4 of our last 5 matches" is a bit misleading.

Todays game is far from in the bag based on our past 5 matches. We'll have to come to play and win it, like any other.

Curry, do you ever think of changing your avatar back to Mick Fleetwood (it was, wasn't it??)? Your posts seemed more fun back then.

[Clintosaurus 6,611]

Might want to make it or 2 at best.

[dimmy 1,143]

Worst loss for the season.

Can understand getting wiped by Big kids, but not Essendon

[picket fence 15,444]

Yeah, we can secure yet another draft pick 1,2,3 who will surely be.................. ANOTHER MFC ????

The supporters realized

But as usual, the players didn't

Thank you Confucius.

Not important to those in the football dept obviously....

Other teams can turn a corner in a preseason

The MFC still plundering the depths post 2007...

Sometimes I hate being right.

Melbourne- where hope comes to die

No idea WTF you're talking about

The rest of your post is also pedantic garbage unworthy of response

Thanks for your time

Like to revisit that Al?

Yes but not right now.....

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Our next three weeks before facing Collingwood:

Essendon

Brisbane

St. Kilda

All at the MCG.

Potentially we have the opportunity to win three in a row, and have 7 wins on the board.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

although i did say, 2 wins out 3 would be my par result.
Please, Mfc...please.

Al, absolutely admire your optimism, contrasting my increasing cynicism and utter despair.

I will start by saying I didn't watch the game, worked 25 hours over sat/sun. However I didn't listen all be it interrupted through my phone to everybody's favourite call team Triple M. Many excuses have been thrown up in the post match discussion thread, and all were quickly dismissed as they should of been. I honestly thought we had turned the corner mentally after the win against Geelong. We had enough talent playing to win that game. Having said that as many have stated on here all year we are still 2 trade/draft periods away from having a really competive list, and sadly we are still mentally week. What part of turn up ready to play every week don't the players understand. Great sides can start slowly because of complacency, find themselves 2-3 goals down at qtr time to a lesser opponent only to get a rev up from the coach and go on to win by 80-100 points. The coaching staff are not blame. 3 weeks ago Roos was back to being the messiah, we can't have it both ways. Look at North against the Suns then North against Geelong, Sydney against the Hawks then Sydney against the Tigers, Freo's first 7-8 games and their last 4-5. The Bulldogs, Saints and Collingwood have all dropped games but have been ultra competitive in most of their games purely through their attack on the ball and tackling/defensive pressure. Only a bit of polish and in Collingwoods case a fwd that can kick straight has stopped those 3 clubs from winning a lot more. Are their teams that much more advanced then ours? Physically no but mentally yes. I don't buy into this crap that the Bombers came out fired up because of their loss the week before and in turn we will come out this week. If we are still relying on that we are in trouble. Haven't we learnt this lesson before.

Richmond are officially a mess, how they beat Freo and Sydney is beyond me. Time to start betting against them and take back what they took from me earlier in the year.

[praha 10,329]

Lose to Brisbane and we finish last in 2015.

Absolute must-win.

We've been here before.

2014 all over again.

They'll fluff it like the losers they are.

You have no idea how lucky you are Al

[What 18,810]

2 pathetic losses and the most unconvincing win ever

Massive fail

[praha 10,329]

2 pathetic losses and the most unconvincing win ever

Massive fail

The season will snowball now.

Petrified about our Carlton game, more than the 100 point loss against Freo that's sure to happen.

Three weeks that were always going to be season defining.

Well, the season has been summed up.

Who will we beat? Carlton? Yay! *sigh*

[Frosty Demon 153]

The way we are playing we might not win any.
