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?

    I’ll complain that we have games to Frost, Stretch, Garlett and Spargo ?

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
