    I salute your reference!

    Not many MFC supporters like you.  If Essendon beat us, the Psychologists in Malvern, Camberwell, Brighton, Aireys Inlet will be booked out for a month.

     

    We easily forget that the best/safest coaches in the comp (Clarko, Buckley, Hardwick) had rough apprenticeships and had to grow, learn and transform on the job.  Tick to the club for extending Goodwin.  He will get better AND Adelaide would have come knocking because Pike is a bad trot away from being under the microscope.

    This time last year, Buckley was about to get fired with Collingwood 0-2 in 16th spot and instead grew a beard in readiness for his impending life as a hermit! Now he is coaching the side seemingly most likely to win a flag and keeps the beard as his lucky charm!

    Lets just wait  and keep the shrinks office free  for at least a little while longer. Maybe Goody should grow a beard?

    This..... 

    We are simply down in confidence, get a win on the board and we will be flying. There almost seems to be percieved pressure with all of our players rushing their disposal since the prelim slaughter. 

    It will click soon and we will be a very strong team again. 

    Oh and the calvary will arrive too, lever, VDB, hannan, may & jeffy (still have hope for him) will make this team a lot stronger across all areas.

    Part of me hopes we lose on Friday night.  If we do I'll return to that familiar place of despair to wit I've become so accustomed.  The MFC institutionalized me long ago and last year became almost uncomfortable as expectations rose.  A loss on Friday night returns me to a comfort zone I've come to rely on.  Like an old friend, I find a warmness in the familiarity of abject misery.

    Either way, I'm a winner this Friday.

    True to a point, if we lose this week against Chemist warehouse, stocks will plummet to 2012-2013 levels.

    We were 2-3 last year, including a ten goal loss against an experienced team, and didn’t have too many issues making a preliminary final with a core one year younger than it is now.

    0-5, really?  That means we lost to Ess and the Saints! 

    Look at the fixture for the footy left to play.  0-5 means we need 13 wins of the then 17 games left to make finals; a tall order given 9 are vs 2018 top 8 teams.  Even if they go 50/50 (and assume we win the other 8), a 0-5 start means we miss finals, or sweating on a 2017 round 23!  The other remaining games:  Lions, Crows, Suns, Roos, Blues, Saints, Bulldogs, Dockers.  A few wins there and certainly some losses.

    If we go backwards this year because we are not good enough to beat the best teams so be it.  But to go backwards so far that we miss finals because we can't beat last year's bottom half of the ladder teams is beyond the pale.   So, Ess and Saints are must win games! 

    I think we will improve considerably but we can't afford to go 0-5 and think we make the finals, which surely is the minimum pass mark this year and absolutely essential to keep our hard earned new members, prime tv slots and sponsors.

    Yes, LH.  0-5.  Then I'll panic. 

    People are welcome to panic anytime they like, but I'll lose the plot then.

    Therefore, you are saying we will make finals after a 0-5 start or not making finals is acceptable to you.  If the former tell me how given our fixture.  If the latter, well I just don't know what to say.

    Anyway, I can't see too much pessimism, panic or losing the plot, except at Tullamarine ?

    Good point re. Goodwin. His confidence and trust in the team is comforting.

    That is not what I'm saying at all.  I can find something unacceptable without having to panic about it.  I find people who don't let you in to traffic when you want to merge unacceptable, but I don't panic about it.

    I don't think we'll be 0-5, though.  It's just my threshold of panic.  I've got other things to worry about.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
