Some people get so angry after a single loss that they forget the progress we have made, despite how long it is taking.

And how much it is costing.......

No, no and no. And I don't know how you could get that "feeling" from watching that game. Disappointed with a poor performance? Sure, but "hate the club"? I don't think so.

Sorry, I should have used my words better. What I meant was that he just seems to go through the motions, play like someone that's already defeated. He doesn't "hate" the club. Bad choice of words.

In 2010 under Bailey when we won 8.5 games we also had a percentage of 95%

We were so much more competitive then

Our percentage was so high, because we'd beat up on interstate teams on the 'G.

Mate, I'd kill to see us beating up on interstate sides o the 'G.

Another pathetic thread.

Me too, mate.

I picked it 7 years ago when i thought we would at least be contesting in the finals by now. Looks a bit stupid now in light of what i just posted i know !

With seven posts in seven years you have been sparing in your views. Maybe some others could take a leaf out of your book!

So you want me to judge our improvement based not on games we now win but on the size of the loss?

Sounds like a perfect solution for the MFC.

In 2016 if we lose every game by one point we could say we are a mile ahead of 2015.

We are a mile ahead if we get a priority draft pick from the AFL. With the first two draft picks injected into our team (hypothetically) we might win every game the following year by one point. I would be prepared to accept that! Further, one point margins suggest a contest each week which also would be a pleasant change!

Did anyone see any improvement in five years under Barassi?

We played in finals 2 years after he left. With a bunch of youngsters groomed in the Under 18s under his reign.

Different game, different times. You can add one or two players that would make a difference and jump from last to first in a season. You can't do that these days. Way too many variables, and you have 15-16 teams who all improve in some capacity.

Our biggest problem this year is that we've stayed in neutral. We HAVE improved, but teams like Bulldogs, Port, GWS have simply improved more.

Next year we should leapfrog the likes of Essendon, St Kilda, Collingwood, but knowing this club we'll finish last llol
