Just now, Sir Why You Little said:

I couldn't give a stuff about Ross Oakley's opinions on us. 

If we lose to the Lions like we already have to Essendon the team as a whole is still mentally weak and therefore wastes another year. It is that simple

I know you wouldn't because it basically is reflective of how you deal with us losing. It most likely hits too close to home.

I would say that if we lose to the Lions and are consequently of the opinion that we may as well pack it in and sulk off with our tail between our legs then that it basically proves his point.

Did it ever occur to you that the Essendon loss occurred largely because we didn't pay our opposition any respect? This cobblers about 'less than 10 goals' was the same kind of talk that went around before we lost that one. Hell, Tommy McDonald was talking about notching two wins in a row for the first time in his career.

I will be royally cheesed off if we lose (by the way, I think we are more likely to win if we turn up switched on). I will in no way however give up on the year. Like last year when I said if we win 7 then I think we have achieved our potential for the year, I will wait till the end of round 23 to give my verdict.

Any complacency today should be removed by the intro of the in form ANB and Newton who know they must perform to remain. We should beat them at the contest well it's then a matter of how well we execute away from it. Anything other than a win is not acceptable but I don't understand how people equate mid to large margins to acceptability prior to the game being played.

Have a bad feeling about this one. We're going in with 12 players who have played less than 40 games, we have no genuine second forward/backup ruck, no Jetta and now no Tyson. Tough conditions (wind) will make hitting targets harder and even out the game.

Just don't get complacent Melbourne, please.

Yep, Newts and ANB will surely have to play out of their skins to try and lock in a place in the 1st 22. I'm looking forward to seeing them back in.

Two players out with 'illness' is a concern. If it is 'illness'. Hope the rest of the squad is fighting fit.

No back concerns for Tyson. 

Not necessarily, that illness could have him arching his back over a toilet bowl.

You are entitled to do what you like Col

But IF the MFC goes out there today with the wrong attitude and loses to the Bears like we already did to Essendon in Roosy's 3rd year..."What the Fcuk has this club learnt in those 3 years.."

The Bears are Horrible. It is just not acceptable to give them 4 points at The G

MFCSS - a couple of players catch a winter cold (probably) and there is some conspiracy about this 'illness'.

I agree, very worried now. I hope there isn't a nasty bug hanging around the club, well not a two legged one anyway.

Boys look chilled and focused on their pre-game goal shooting??? looking forward to a brutal joyous beating.

It is a concern - if there is a bug going around, 2 blokes too ill to play, but there may be a few others on the edge.

Hogans set shots are looking good.  No arc, no massive stutter. 

He needs a bigger set of head phones! ;)

ANB and Newton will surprise you today, going on their Casey form. With Tyson out, they will be given a chance to go in and under. And that is a very good thing - much better than playing them in less familiar positions on the ground. 

Posted

Bugger, I've only become nervous after reading this thread.  Still reckon we will win comfortably, however.  Go Melbourne!!

Posted

Two big games from Bernie and Jonesy today will get the job done. Hogan to hover on and off the ball to keep them looking around.and the ex pie 5footer to kick 5.

Was always all for the woman's comp after seeing the first Dees and Dogs game but after seeing it today I think afl under 19s would be money better spent.

the talent pool is already too diluted with all the other teams fielding woman's teams.  The WA clubs played an expo game this year, Brisbane, dogs, and Dees. Not sure if there has been any SA teams yet.

the first couple of woman's games were the best playing the best. Today just looked like who ever could kick the ball got a game.

Conspiracy?

From the BF board: 

 

"viney gawn and jones also carrying illness, but apparently well enough to play. seems like something going through the club. Hopefully we're not flat"

 

That's a bit of a worry!!

    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.
