Yes we lose to the best sides but we’ve won’t for much longe We have been “Young” for 10 years Sad how well Lynden Dunne is playing for the Filth... Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,555 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 You can use all the stats and hot dogs you like to evaluate our season, but the facts of the matter are that perhaps we don't have the list good enough to finish top 8?? Quote

Supermercado 2,806 Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 Irrelevant considering we should have beaten Geelong and almost everything right last Friday except convert opportunities. The majority of the same group have won on Queen's Birthday and Anzac Eve, this is a cute stat and nothing more. Quote

And they were both over a year ago. At this time we are more or less(will we, won’t we) at the same stage as last season. If we don’t make finals then a huge step backwards. 2 Quote

He's not a big loss and had Lever not done his knee we may well have rolled both Collingwood and the Power. Our time is coming Quote

I am not saying we made the wrong call on Dunn, but he is playing 10x better than i thought he would be... Quote

You are correct but it still has chuff all to do with attendances. Quote

At this time we are more or less(will we, won’t we) at the same stage as last season. If we don’t make finals then a huge step backwards. I think we are at a different stage. Last year: new up and coming, inconsistent with a game plan unfamiliar to opposition, able to beat anyone on our day ("upset" wins) but still seen as an easy scalp by the bottom teams. This year: more comfortable with our new game plan enabling us to win every game against the lower teams (and beat them well). Top teams now recognise us as a threat, have had time to study our plan and know how to counter and put pressure on us (ie we can't "upset" them). Ideally next year is: Comfortable in executing our game plan under pressure, and also aware of possible exploitations and limitations. Players have enough experience and group familiarity to shift mid game to plan b tactics. Edited June 27, 2018 by deanox 2 Quote

Melbourne is 8-0 when more than 10,000 hot dogs are consumed, but 1-4 when under 10,000 are consumed. The sauce to mustard differential may give us a clearer understanding Quote

But NOBODY expected him to be playing as well as he is playing now. He is not just making up the numbers. Lever or no Lever our backline lacks a big body... Quote
