Lose this and we will lose all confidence and probably finish second last.

win and we COULD get on a bit of a run and end up on ~8 wins and save some embarressment and have something to build on for next year

so I think it matters.

I really did expect that we would build some momentum on the confidence we took from the Freo game. Yet to think our second half against Brissy was arguably the worst we've played all year, really does inspire zero confidence of not only beating Carlton, but going on a bit of a run if we win. This team is soul crushing.

It’s an indictment on this year’s squad that we’re going to struggle to match the 2015 squad’s achievement of 7 wins. A squad that regularly featured whipping boys such as Bail, M Jones, McKenzie, Toumpas, Dawes, Michie and Newton.

So sad but so very true. The team that was going to bring home the bacon

A famous sage once said, "Marge, I don't hate your mother, I just wont be sad when she dies."

Sums up my feeling for the club at present.

Won't be heartbroken if we lose. Disgusted yes, but sad no.

 

I'm tipping a garbage, uninspiring 10 point win where I feel flat as a tack afterwards.

The disappointing thing for me is that for once, outsiders were beginning to take us seriously as a club. Many tipped us to finish top 4 and to have a fair dinkum crack at the flag. We hit a record membership number and were rewarded with a couple of Friday night games. 

If we bounce back next season no one will care because we’re just ‘typical’ Melbourne. If we lose to Carlton on the weekend my response would be ‘meh’.

We'll lose to Carlton!

Agreed. There was something in the air in the second half last week. Mids getting frikn reamed at the centre bounces, 2 tackles or something like that in one of the quarters. The stats were alarming and It spoke of a collective lowering of heads. perhaps it was an expression of a collective disappointment that the season is over so soon? Perhaps a collective expression / realisation that goodys plan no longer works? Whatever it was, it was glaring and as an attitude that’s been building for weeks it’s not something that will disappear in a week. 

Dees to open up an early 5 goal lead then get roped back in and over run in the last. Blues by 5 goals.

The 1966 rebuild seems like yesterday. Ken Jungwirth, Syd Catlin, Rowarth, Hugh Bromell, Ken Rowe, Frank Vearing, Chapman, Stewart, Leahy, Neville Stone, Rob Dowsing, Kerry Ryan, the list goes on, Dillon, Feldmann... Flash forward to 2020 and it's swapping out players, early draft picks and demonland summer updates.

We'll be lucky to kick 5 goals. Watch Carlton pummel us by 10 goals.

I have never bet against us but those Carlton odds are tempting

One word respone to this thread - Pessimism.

The third quarter against the Brisbane bears the players came out and looked like they just couldn’t be bothered. They have put the cue in the rack for the year. They know the game plan is no good, most of their fellow players aren’t that good and they won’t be playing finals this year. Just collect the pay check and don’t try too hard because there’s no accountability anyway. You’ll get a game next week because there’s nobody better in Casey and lots are out injured.

I am waiting for weid to play like he did in those 2 finals games. This may be tbe one.

If he doesnt have a breakout game soon , how long should we persist with him?

6 years worth of rebuild and we’re fighting for second last place. Pathetic. This club kills me.

Posted

I reckon we'll win well tomorrow!

Why? [censored] if I know!

However, I've been reading all the pessimism and I'm figuring ……. " We can't be that hopeless" . Can we?

Anyway, I'll probably run into @Moonshadow at the footy …. which in itself is good reason to get [censored]. 

So I'll be in the right mood either way.

More like 12yrs & rebuild number 3

Pessimism part & parcel of a MFC member/supporter & posts like these are normal....

The ultimate embarrassment for the MFC would be to finish last after a prelim appearance & yet hold another record!

Is that like the Kruezer Cup years ago?

Bingers, it's not that far away except that Carlton wants to win but Adelaide want them to lose. Maybe I'm reading to much into it.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
