What's the chances we lose to Adelaide?

If we don’t completely murder the crows (pun intended) I’ll be p-ssed.

Hmmm, since there’s been a couple of anniversary threads lately rewind back to our R10 2007 game against Crows and the team sitting at 0-9 got its first win of the season. Giving myself nightmares already.

Just a thought about the upcoming game and in some ways using North as inspiration (urgh that tastes bad in my mouth). Shaw may have pulled a mini-master stroke here by dropping Brown and Polec which in turn motivated the players, but also gave Polec and Brown extra time to prepare for us. 

The Adelaide game could be a really good opportunity to drop some underperforming players and hopefully have them in better condition for North. 

Given Brown’s annual desire to destroy us I’d be shocked if at the very least he didn’t come back for them.

I can still remember the Sydney game when they had lost 20 something in a row. I think the Crows were saving themselves for Wed Night guys.

The saints have sped right past us.

Their young talent coming through and also smart recruiting like Butler and Jones have been a master-stroke.

I really rate Ratten as a coach as well, I would’ve been keen for us to have him but sometimes timing is everything and we just didn’t have that. 

But infuriating to see them doing so much better than us, that said it won’t surprise me if the they have a later year dip.

As have Port, Lions and Pies (measured from 2017) and maybe even GCS.

I'm already thinking of the media outcry. Sadly I'm already preparing myself

Watching all the smashings this week. If we don't beat Adelaide by ten goals, it is a fail.

Beating Adelaide will be the clubs aim, but they’ll likely get comfortable after that and go down in the next couple

1993. One of my earliest memories as a Melbourne supporter. Even as a 6 year old I knew how bad Sydney was. We had beaten the Eagles at the MCG a few weeks before and looked like we could push for finals. Then Sydney pumped us at the MCG in front of like 5000 people for their first win in more than a year. Don't discount the Crowd. They will see us as very beatable.

They finished last in 2014 and were a rabble for most of last year. Always had talent. Huge indictment on our recruitment and development as a club. They are flag smokies imo.

A free kick was brought back because a Geelong player blocked the Eagles player on the mark that allowed the Cats kicker to run around the mark. Hasn’t Hawthorn been doing just that for 10 years?

Just watching Geelong and WC go at it makes me realise how far behind we are as a football team.This is football,not the crap we dish up with our basketball/wrestlemania style of play.

But remember we had a kick on the siren to beat the Cats! This is a very odd season. If we get our act together we can compete with the best but then there is our worst!

Eagles are going to roll the Cats which is great, but this last quarter has been fantastic.  Both clubs going hard at it.  It's been great to watch.

Kennedy is really turning back the clock here.  Has kicked three in the last to get them over the line.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
