Ramifications of a loss this weekend


True Heart

Recommended Posts

You say that like it is a fact. How did that loss set us back that much?

Im just throwing a figure out there but no doubt it set us back... every crushing defeat is another kick in the guts for the club and playing group.

The GWS was one of the worst... as I recall they were down to zero fit men on the bench by the 4th quarter, and still beat us by over 10 goals.

Remember everyone saying the game at the G' vs GWS at the end of last season was meaningless.. yeah right, we got flogged and it set us back 12 months

What in the name of god are you talking about you lunatic? Please explain to us how losing that particular match 'set us back 12 months' ?

Don't want to sound negative BUT I think a loss this weekend against Carlton would be the breaking point for some, players and fans included.

This is a must win game for our direction as a club. We rarely perform against clubs we are expected to win.

A loss this weekend would be the biggest loss in our history.

Lets hope we win!

You're doing a good job of disguising it

The ramifications of a loss this weekend to Carlton.....zero.

The ramifications of the loss to GWS last year.....zero.

The ramifications will be: the MFCSS defeatists paying out on players, Roos and the like on Demonland post match until the next match.

A loss this weekend would be the biggest loss in our history

You cannott be serious.

What are you being so rude for mr arrogant? To back up HH if you get absolutely flogged in the last game of the season or the last half of the season..you go into the pre season flat, compared to winning some late games and going into the next season with some momentum...that loss against GWS really hurt the club....

No different to other games this season we have meant to or should have won but lost.

Life goes on and as a Melb supporter we expect it to happen which is pathetic but normal for us.

We r a special breed us demons supporters.

Ramification are never positive for some. Some will say that if we win vs Carlton it will be because they are tanking, if we win vs Freo it's because they are resting and if we beat GWS it will be because they have given up on finals (assuming they are out by then). I'll be happy with 1 win, very happy with 2 and delirious with 3.

I'd take 9 wins for the season!

We are simply a better side than Carlton on comparative form and ladder position hence the prohibitive bookies' odds . That will get us to the 7 wins tipped by many of us.... and then it's "that's all folks".

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
