Jnr , regrettably I suspect dejavu might be order of the day  ?

Sadly I think you are right....

    So far this season we have experienced both joy and disappointment - WLWLWL etc. Given the trend and the switched on mindset I'm expecting on the return to the G, I'm expecting a pretty good jolly old showing. 

    Dees by 1pt.

    Steve, as a species we include crazies, nutters, loonies,  demented, bonkers, daffy, daft, screwball, psycho silly, insane and you and me. I have never attempted to jump over a charging bull in a black devil suit with a pitchfork. (me, not the bull). I did attempt to water ski naked through flames at midnight, on the Murray river. We used too much fuel and set fire to about 1km of shoreline, it took us about half an hour to put out spot fires, but that's not crazy, .....is it? Oh, and I rode my motor bike down the wall of the Thompson river dam, well rode is a bit strong, perhaps a graceful sliding elongated crash. And there was.......... no that's another story but I'm not crazy.

    One wonders what the team can do this week in the face of a Hawthorn which most of the time manages to hold firm even without such vital team members as Luke Hodge and Jarryd Roughead. Pray that it will be another twelve and a half months before they meet again, I suppose.
     
     

    Hate to say it but it will only be 9 weeks!

    To be fair though, they've done things many teams don't for a long time.  We are but just one face in that crowd.

    I expect us to get rolled, but I also expect us to play better than we did last week.  Hawks will probably win, in the end, by 5-6 goals but it won't be a smashing.

    I've acid tripped with a north eastern Congolese militia General and then proceeded to have a target shooting competition with an AK many years ago. Probably the most bizarre thing I've ever done.

    Does that classify as crazy?

    I once baked a cake for 40 minutes when the recipe clearly stated 45 minutes. Yeh I live on the edge and consider myself pretty crazy, so what.

    Try doing 2 minute noodles in 1 minute.

    That's some pretty off the chain [censored] as well.

    Yes.

    I was among a group of people too drunk too drive home, some bright spark suggested that if we all sat on the roof and drove the car with our feet through the sunroof then we could not be charged with drink driving, after all it was only 20km though mountainous roads, what could go wrong? Nothing as it happens, but the car required major repairs to the roof. Is that crazy?

    Oliver will be back. so 5 best 22 out.  or 4 if you think Garls isnt best 22.   injuries starting to add up but this should be an excuse

    Anyone else want to see Vince play on the ball for the full game?  miss his class, toughness and influence

    Cheers for that, now you've got me thinking, how many games have Angus and Ollie played together....

    Probably more entrepreneurial and hopeful than crazy, Mandee.

    Sounds like something you'd pull after a sesh on the billy.

    This will be interesting. I can't see us winning, but anything under 6 goals would be a good result. Hawthorn are due for a good performance, so anything up to a 20 goal loss is possible if we don't select the right side,  and / or persist with stupid tactics and / or don't come ready to play. Hopefully all the C graders that have been clogging up the team sheet for the past month are shuffled back to Casey this week.

    This is Misson's injury report this week.  http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2016-06-01/trio-set-to-return-this-weekend

    JKH appears to be available for VFL this week.  Great to see him playing again and hope he has a solid injury free run to show his wares again.

    H is listed as 'indefinite'.  Even allowing for the necessary caution it seems really serious.  Can anyone remember the incident when the injury happened.  A terrible injury to deal with so will be good just to see him on the foot field again.

    Gus is tracking well and may be back before the bye but I would imagine it will be in the VFL.

    If we bring the same intensity we showed in our wins, along with taking our chances in front of the sticks.. I think we'll go close in having a big upset. Hawks are far from their best at the moment.. Took them 3 and a half quarters before they could shake the Lions. The Dees have thrived this year as big underdogs.

    Dees by 5 points.

    I'm tipping the hawks to have a really off day and for us to play out of our skins. 

    Hawks by 18....goals....

    The glass is always half full, cracked and leaking when it comes to Melbourne with me, they've killed my belief!
