If we lose to Freo....

I've already switched off mentally for the year and won't turn back on until we've booked a spot in September. I counted last week that I've attended around 272 matches in my life since 1991, for 94 wins, 178 losses. I haven't seen us win a final in person since 2002. I've sat through 19 10+ goal losses, have never seen us beat Geelong live, have never attended a match where we've beaten a team with Buddy Franklin in it, lost countless matches where we've been outright favourites. And I pay $600+ per year.

I've been uninspired all year, and switched off in my head after round 23 last year. I care less, but still get frustrated. 

If they lose against Freo, I'll be the same as I am now. If they win (and I think they will, comfortably), I'm still not validating my bandwagon ticket. I've earned my VIP pass. I'm not cashing it in yet.

    You opened yourself up for this.

    This was you after we beat Gold Coast in Alice Springs last year:

     

    Still better than losing

    one can win quietly and get better at the same time

    the game you refer was awful, but we won. 

    No champagne was cracked

    The answer is simple...

     

    The bloke who had the door closed on him in this scene will be pretty similar to how we will all feel should we lose.

    I've already lost interest in the season. Good sides have destroyed us this year and losing to Stkilda was the final straw for me. Some people it was over against the pies, some it was over when we lost to port but for me, it was losing to the saints and i don't think we deserve to play finals to the point where I'd almost prefer not to so we work hard in the off season and not think we've made it, bernard tomic style because we came 8th and lost first week

    Disagree, not making finals is imo not anywhere near as effective a motivator as making them. That's the first test. We need to get there so we know what it's like.

    Serves half of this forum right for talking about our top 4 chances. This whole season I've just wanted to say 'shut the  f#$k up' to those people because so many people were getting ahead of themselves.

    Lucky Goodwin doesn't coach in the MLB, NFL, or NBA as he'd be sacked on the spot if they lose to 2 sides that are over $7 to win in consecutive weeks.

    Most depressing read of the year.  And to think there are thousands upon thousands just like you.

    Careful, Prodee will rip you to shreds for considering that history is remotely contected to this season. 

    You have been warned. 

    I have been a paid up member since 1987 and a Member of the MCG since 1982. 

    After last weekend, my Membership for next year is up in the air, make finals and show some guts. I join happily. 

    Capitulate for the last 8 games, pizz their pants and say it’s all too hard and i will spend those $100’s somewhere else next year

    it’s quite simple

    So if we drop out of the 8, I guess you will serve the other half of the forum that had us finishing 5-8.  

    Remind me again how supporters feelings actually influence on field performance?

    He umpired the first 3 rounds alongside 'the Raz' and then wasn't seen again until last week. One too many over-rules from 50m away of his poor decisions? I'm sure every over-rule is like a blow to the head for these clowns.

    It looks as though the AFL was trialling umpire 'teams' in the first 3 rounds. I only had a quick look but the games I saw had the same 3 umpires together week on week. Obviously failed in whatever measure they were testing, I wonder what that may have been.

    I actually love the umpire teams idea. One of biggest problems is not inconsistency between weeks it's inconsistency between ends. 

    Umpire the games together and then coach and review together.  Get the team on the same page. 

     

    That being said Razor and Pannel are two of the worst in my opinion. With Nichols close to them both.

    It would also make it much easier to isolate two people to influence their decision making.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
