If we DONT beat Brisbane I will ...



Recommended Posts


i feel much more warm and relaxed knowing we are going to lose

it's a conditioning thing

it's quite terrifying when we win. i get all these strange thoughts and quite delusional

no, i'll be very happy, quite looking forward to a jolly good thrashing

go bears, bring it on

I don't think I'd go to another game for the year. I know that we all hate losing but I'm genuinely sick of having my weekend ruined. I think that if we lose this week it'll be the nail in the coffin and we'll finish last. If we win, it could snowball into something better...but we say that after every win. 4 wins after round 15, I'm just kind of over it.

If we lose, I'm going to make an effort to cut out Melbourne for a few weeks. I don't care if they win during that period. I'll just go out during the game and leave my phone at home, and just enjoy myself.

I've forgotten what it feels like to actually *enjoy* watching my team. And I've forgotten what it feels like to go to a game *knowing* they're a very high certainty of winning. I haven't felt that since 2005, 2006.

I don't want to boycott this team but I think that it would be good for me. I'm seriously devastated every time they lose when I go in knowing they can win if they have a genuine crack. Last Saturday actually ruined my weekend. And my girlfriend's the same. It literally puts a strain on our relationship. We look forward to this [censored] every week and we go in excited and plan our day around it, and then we end up fighting lol

If we lose this week and not win another game, all the teams below us will start tanking to ensure we don't get a top 2 or 3 pick.

So we'll end the season disgracefully but yet not improve our draft position.

If Brisbane wins, that would suggest they're not tanking. Our percentage is not great and if we lose every remaining game and even snag a win, it would drop and we'd freefall.

We're paying $26 for the spoon, $11 for 17th, and $7 for 16th. They are all amazing odds that I'll jump on if we lose this weekend.

Put 50 on each. Where did you get the odds?

Not renew my membership until they win 14 games in a single season.

I would be happy with consecutive wins :-(. Easy to please.

Same as you praha, for my own sake not watch another game. The sad thing is two of my kids will be on the ground for the Berry Street guard of honour, and I have just taken the odds of $11 for Brisbane by 40+. I am trying to be so excited for my kids, but it is so hard as I have a bad bad feeling about this game.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
