  • Gawn gone, hopefully we will peg them back a notch or 2.
  • With Gawn and Viney out they're virtually leaderless now.
  • No Gawn, no Viney...NO EXCUSES.
  • The best thing that can be said about Gawn missing is that it greatly enhances Goldy’s All-Australian chances. If Gawn had towelled him up again like in R23, it may have been a deciding factor for the judges.
  • Jed to Oliver, was in decent form last game, but he will miss Gawn for sure.
  • I actually would have liked to see Gawn play, want to see where Goldy is at and Gawn is the only one to have gotten a hold of him properly.
  • Gawn had to play v Crows; a) for the win, and b) save sack Goodwin's his job

Everything else

  • Doesn't matter who we bring in, we ain't winning. Both teams have been ****ful this year, but Melbourne's talent will be enough to get the 4 points.
  • Jed to Oliver. Lmac to Petracca. Shut those two out and we win the game. Death Ride continues.
  • We must win this. Loose this and they have Collingwood and the Bulldogs afterwards, should all but write off their season.
  • It pains me to think that Melbourne must be favourites.
  • The sooner Melbourne know their season is over the better for us as they will collapse.
  • Need to put a fair bit of time into Petracca, he can’t run freely.
  • Melbourne have no potent tall forwards.
  • Keeping the Demons defenders accountable (May, Lever and Hibbered) will hold the key to us having a chance.
  • Taz McKay and Durdin down back. That’s a a big backline. Do Demons have a penchant for bombing it long?
  • TMcDonald named as their ruckman is interesting.
  • Bennell being managed again helps us too. Just the type who would snag 3 against us.
  • What does it say about Preuss when they chose to go with McDonald as your main ruck rather then him?
  • Mcdonald was ok a few years back, they had Hogan before that, but otherwise they are a bit thin yes. Now watch Fritsch kick 5.
  • Fritsch, Weideman and Jackson should not be taken lightly.
  • Assuming we win, where do Deez fans go with the a Snowfields closed? Holiday homes on the Mornington Peninsula?

Jeez dont let Pollyanna see this thread.

Even a rabble like Norf thinks they can beat us.

Like i said, every team in the league thinks we are gettable.

 

Just win Dees ffs, i will even take a 1 point victory in a boring, goal-less snorefest

Don’t wanna burst your bubble Ding, but every team’s supporters (or at least a portion of them) think their team can beat every other team... it’s kinda what keeps them coming back each week even when their teams are [censored].

On your last point, sure you’ll take it and then spend the next week moaning about how it’s evidence that ‘every team thinks we’re gettable’ ?

Oh no.... someone might use evidence as..... evidence.

Wow.

 

If we win well, that wont change what teams think about their chances. Every team rates themselves a strong chance against MFC.

It’s funny when it’s not you.

“Just concerning how bad we are. Imagine if Gawn played.”

“I usually force myself to watch the replay after every lost game, but not this time baby.”

“Absolutely spiritless. They look like they have no ******* idea what to do out there. Whatever the fu** our game plan is it needs to be completely torn up and start again. We are beyond ******* awful.”

“We're a nuclear powered Genghis Khan of slaughtering the footy.”

“I'll tell it like it is: we're tanking.”

“If we're not tanking, then why did we fill both of Jy Simpkin's feet with local anaesthetic before the match started?”

“BTW, it's obscene that there's posters on this board who turn their noses up at the Crouch brothers. Obscene.”

“We lost to a team who’s captain was Jake Melksham.”

(In response to “JMac’s tackling and composure were top notch”)

“100%. His 14 touches (12 uncontested), one slicing run through the corridor and 2 massive tackles were scintillating! Where has Chris Judd mkII been all our lives?”

“The next time one of these soft campaigners tells us how hard being in a hub is I hope someone punches them in the mouth. Come and live in Victoria at the moment you self entitled w***ers! If this is what they want to stand for they can go get f’ed!!!”

“Most of mates/scumbags barrack for the dees. By the 4th qtr the banter chat on WhatsApp stopped. No gloating no rubbing it in. We were that bad that blokes who thrive on giving it to one another felt they needed to ease up on me. F **n demon supporters feeling sorry for us. A new low. A new low.”

“Stood underneath the coaches box for the last five minutes after spending the first 16 mins at ground level. Yelled out to Brady and co - it’s [censored] we’ve spent a decade and never won at AO - there’s no leadership it’s ******* quiet atground. Level no direction. Cut the fat sort it out. A decade without a win at Adelaide oval. Sort it out now! Only to be waved away by one of the assistants”

“As far as enjoyment goes, I had more fun performing my own circumcision with a cigar cutter compared with watching this game.”

I'd like to know what it's done for Goldy's AA chances getting towelled up by an 18 yo playing his 6th senior AFL game.

This is hilarious.

This is what the tough guys around here look like when they go the full melt and start cancelling memberships etc, usually in the form of an 'Open Letter' about 'accepting mediocrity'  .....

  •  What a conundrum. Need Melbourne to lose but absolutely hate Collingwood. Oh what to do what to do..
  •  Not a good start. Melbourne are all over them. Collingwood are putrid going forward.
  •  Collingwood are messing up our pick. Get a move on!
  • Pick 11 better be a belter
  • well, the day was going swimmingly, now not so much so.
  • As if 2020 couldn’t suck any harder this death ride is taking one in the clacker.
  • So at the time I said this was a stupid trade, and it’s proving to be just that.
  • How to turn pick 8 into pick 12
  • We broke the first rule of draft club. Never ever trade out a top 10 pick unless you're guaranteed one in return.
  • Yeah really need Melbourne to somehow implode. Tthe pick last year could have been Flanders/serong

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
