I feel the same way, although I do understand those who won't be happy with that.  I don't think we are far enough down the track yet that we can thrash teams, even those like Carlton, but another good display of football and a win with no injuries will do me very nicely.

its not about how good we are, its how poor Essendon are.

we will win by 100+   we will be on top of the ladder 8 points clear of the Hawks

I had it surgically removed.

 

For me  - this is the test of the well worn comments by all the coaches at the MFC - "we have a team of competitors". If our team competes at is should and can, the scoreboard will take care of itself.

Sorry nutbean I made a mistake I have the smugness bit in 2016. We will win ten games it is done and dusted.

So much so that I have stopped looking at who it selected in the team because it does not matter we will win ten games no matter who we select.

1 from 1 willmoy so rest easy.

On a more mindful note could coach chairs be changed and still the good win...

You know something like "you're here today, Goody old chap". Prearranged of course.

I won't be happy with just a win, I want retribution, if for nothing else the money they cost me last time they met. It's as if some supporters are preparing themselves for a potential loss. This game is Hammer Time at the G. Next week we play north in Tassie, they have pushed us around for years. We need a four qtr effort this week, minimum of 80 points. Yes we will gain confidence from another win but we will gain even more by burying a side and this is one of the few chances we'll have this year to do so.

Wow OD you are a new man. The psychotherapy has done wonders. This must mean something. I was going to post a cautious comment like I will stop worrying when we have a consistent run of sustained success but that sounds a little pessimistic. So I will say we should win this one.

I wish I was as confident as you all, but the mfcss in me says let's not get ahead of ourselves. In all fairness we were very lucky GWS kicked themselves out of the match last week. GC had Ablett tearing Dons a new one. I don't think Dons will be as bad as people think.

I'd be happy with just the win as a loss would be devastating to handle.

In all fairness although they had more scoring shots and we had more inside 50's, so were just as wasteful as the Giants.

Really hoping we destroy the Bombers!

We will win this week Ernest but the following week is sadly a loss I think.

The Roos will be too good for us in 2016 next year however look out Mr. Scott.

I agree, however it shows how reliant we are on Hogan to play well. Davis took him out of the match and Dons will no doubt look at how he did it very closely.

Frankly I'm amazed by the level of confidence here

This is exactly the type of game we have previously lost. Opposition is struggling, coming off a good win, high expectations... Hope I'm wrong and we do smash them, but I'm not so confident.

I think Minimal changes but if we feel so inclined I would think the first 2 might occur

Dunn for O Mac inj

Brayshaw for Harmes

and then possibly 

Heretier L for either M Jones or if wet a tall possibly Frost! I wouldn't drop Pedo.. far too valuable in a variety of positions!

Suspense over: Brayshaw, Lumumba return for Melbourne  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-03-31/brayshaw-lumumba-return-for-melbourne

B: Neville Jetta, Tom McDonald, Heritier Lumumba
HB: Matt Jones, Colin Garland, Christian Salem
C: Bernie Vince, Jack Viney, Aaron vandenBerg
HF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen, James Harmes
F: Dean Kent, Jesse Hogan, Jeff Garlett
Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Dom Tyson
I/C: Angus Brayshaw, Clayton Oliver, Tom Bugg, Ben Kennedy
Emg: Lynden Dunn, Billy Stretch, Sam Frost
In: Lumumba, Brayshaw
Out: Oscar McDonald (ankle), Sam Frost

Doesn't bode well for Dunn in that he doesn't appear to be an 'automatic' for starting 22.

Great to see Gus back.

For two blokes I would like to dedicate Saturdays annilhilation of Essendon.

Kevin Sheedy for his arrogance over the years when we have suffered more often than not when he was coach and 

Neeld, this bloke potentially put us back 20 Years, ( Thank Christmas he was sacked)  now with Essendown, It woud give me no greater pleasure to inflict 

"The worst Defeat ever seen on a footy field" to this down and out team of nothings!

I'm not malicious, I just want the Karma Bus to go round the corner and SMACK EM straight between the eyes!

I'm sick of this 'lucky' stuff from our own supporters. We were the better side on the day full stop.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
