If we lose to Freo....

[Nasher 33,607]

It’s not even an imagineable outcome for me, but I thought that last week too.

Negatives after a win??

No i wouldn’t think that at all

You are a very sick man

Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation ..

For someone who hates it when others judge his thoughts, replies and what he thinks, it seems hypocritical of you to call me a 'very sick man'. 

Takes one to know one I guess.

Cannot see us losing to freo ... its the next few weeks that concern me.      Hope am I am wrong but will not make finals.   Playing dogs after playing in darwin   na !!      Adelaide in adelaide   no !   Geelong at geelong  (happens once every 15 years)   West coast in perth ..  No  !!        blew it last week  and first round.   Hope I am wrong,

 

Side note won $65 last week.  had 10 on saints.    Having watched by beloved team for decades I knew $6.50 odds for saints was  ridiculous.  Hope I was not going to collect..  but I did.

I struggled this week, mate. If we roll over against Freo I don't think I'll be able to pull anything positive out of the bag! 

A durry?

People can think whatever they want on here, but for you to say i will find negatives after a win is just petty rubbish. 

I hate losing & i hate slack performances, of which we see too many

but i will never tire of wins

Yes you were indeed.

Planning on keeping your powder dry in the game day thread this week, Nash?

[The Stigga 1,094]

Even if we'd beaten St Kilda and say Geelong, I still think we'd struggle to make the 8, the last 5-6 weeks is just a brutal run of games, coupled with teams around us having much easier draws...

Dees by 20 goals. Freo won't score, Petty to take 22 intercept marks, Trac to have 47 disposals, Hogan to kick 11 goals. 

I hope you did not hurt anything when you fell out of bed Wiseblood?

Which only highlights what a shocking decision playing fixtures in Darwin is. 

What is more important to the club, a suitcase of $$$’s or playing finals in September??

Only my head. On reflection I should have made it 30 goals.

Oh thank God I thought something may have happened to the most positive person on Demonland . Where I go for positive reinforcement?

I'm not sure the decision is 'fully' ours, i think we are partially beholden to the AFL to continue this arrangement in some form, perhaps due to previous 'support' we received.

Might as well pack up the club if the AFL are forcing our hand and retarding our fixture.

I believe you referred to St Kilda as a ‘bucket of puss’. After reading that I seriously thought there was no way we could lose.

We lost the following two games badly though. We were then shagged out and lethargic for the remainder of the season .

True, still I think if the arrangment is going to continue we should play the Darwin game instead of the Alice Springs game before the bye.

It's all about the journey

[Demon Disciple 12,068]

If we lose to Freo, i expect Goodwin to hand in his resignation. If not, i then expect for him to be sacked.

No Joke.

If we lose to Freo it’s season over.

And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year.

Head coach sacked?

New president?

At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club.

 

I'm curious who was he?

[SFebes 4,884]

Fremantle were putrid last week so it will be interesting, we should [censored] them. A couple of close losses and a big win will get our percentage up there which may be handy

Not really. We lost to North by 4 points in rubbish conditions, then to a hot GWS, then belted StKilda for all but a lapse in the 3rd quarter. Sports science has come along way in the last few years. If we lose to Dogs next week it won’t have anything to do with the conditions on Saturday night
