Round 6 game day thread....

- Im feeling nervous

- Saints want to win (because we don't...)

- Saints have been unlucky the past few weeks

- which team will turn up

 

 

 

Wow! you're raising negativity to a whole new level. How about we worry about this week before we start getting nervous about next week? We may be entering next week's game with a 3-2 win ratio. we might be coming off a 60 point thumping over the tiges. We might be seeing the debut of CP. Hogan and Watts might be celebrating a 12 goal haul between them. Who knows? Lots of variables to come into play before thinking about next week. Enjoy the present!

GO DEES!

I know it's ANZAC Day tomorrow but could posters please leave their personal conflicts off this site. They have been/will be deleted or censored if detected by the moderators.

The month of May promises to be an exciting one for the club. It would be a pity if some of you couldn't post here during that time.

Cheers

Why leave the puerile comments about Martin WJ   freedom of speech or selective censorship.

I was being sarcastic.

You didn't read my earlier post?

I've tipped us to win by 47.

Melbourne by 40 plus points. Do not under stand the $2.85 on offer from TAB. 

The odds have nothing to do with who is the best side but where the money is being bet. Bookies figure out their initial spread and then adjust to the market, they are putting us at longer odds because there is much more money going on to the tigers from over optimistic supporters or other who think Melbourne will not make it 2 in a row.  they need to give good odds on the Dees to attract more money to offset potential losses, and lower the tigers odds to reduce their risk/payout on new bets should the tigers get up. Bookies aim to make money no matter who wins rather than backing one side. Backing one side or another is mugs game for us punters, not bookies. So I will happily back to dees to win tonight.

I'm not quite at that stage but I have often thought that I may have a heart attack at the football one day. I sincerely hope not but I checked my pulse last Sunday and it was 140bpm (usually sits at around 72).

My mothers cousin died at a Melbourne/ Carlton game back in the early 1960's and he was only 40 ,,,,,,,

Checking with the ticket sales outlets about tonight's game the GA allocation is exhausted, so sounds like a big crowd.

I am a MFC member for home games and am trying to bring my daughter, but the only tickets available are allocated seats, so if we buy one of these we can not sit together.

Does anyone have a suggestion how we can sit together while using my membership?

It's going to be a while before many of us develop that true confidence.

A win today might do it. Getting the consecutive wins monkey off our back might be the turning point my MFCSS-wired brain needs to genuinely believe.

This could be the most important game in the clubs recent history, they have an opportunity to take a step that will distance the MFC of 2016 from the MFC of the last 10 years or so and really add some weight to the claims that we're an improved side.

we have to win.

Yesterday, +15.5 was paying $3.75.

I think he just got dodgy odds because 40+ is paying $10

With the Giants looking like winning, the ladder (and the season?) looks like it will be bifurcated after this round between the genuine campaigners (12 points and above) and the pretenders (8 and below).  If ever our group had something to play for, it's tonight.  I'm sure it's on their minds and I'm confident they won't let us down.  Dees by 30+!!

Two in a row? I have a hard time believing we can do it. We're very young and have less to prove tonight than the Tiges.

Dees by 25 ?

Giants for mine take Gold Coast's spot in the 8 and that's probably the top 8 at the end of Round 23 IMO (North, Dogs, Geelong, Sydney, Hawthorn, West Coast, Adelaide, GWS).

Not sure any other club (GC, Melbourne, Port, Richmond, Fremantle, St Kilda) will keep it up long enough to make finals.

Regardless, would love for us to at least be considered as one of, say, 10-12 clubs who can make finals.

I would be absolutely staggered if that's the case.  Cannot be true.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
