What 18,810 Posted July 9, 2018 Author Posted July 9, 2018 Well you can lock Hawthorn in for another finals spot. Such an easy run home. Geelong as usual with two gifts in the final two rounds - at home to Freo and Gold Coast. The AFL really love to look after the Cats and Hawks. Sickening. 1 Quote

Its well overdue, a serious ravalry/hatred between Melbourne and Sydney Potential that has just sat here, both clubs have never really pursued it hard, maybe we were just not strong enough before. Everything else between Melbourne and Sydney is dead serious Step up Demons. Create another Marquee game. Use our name 3 Quote

The obvious answer is YES. However the MFC has such a long tradition of failure it is very difficult to not expect the worst. Sad? Yes but understandable. Quote

corowa 216 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I was 17 when I saw us win our Grand Final in 1964. I didn't think I'd reach 71 without us winning another! 2 1 4 6 Quote

The only constant each year has been the failing of the MFC, with some different excuse!!!! Quote

You could stay inside the stadium back then or did they shunt you into the carpark? my dad and his mates would often end up at one of the players houses after a GF and literally go from house to house for about 5 days!

I have us playing the Hawks (6v7) if we can snag one against Geelong (And of course beat WB/GCS/ADEL/GWS) Can't wait to get one back against that mullet haired Stratton [censored].
