The Significance of 9 Wins in a Row

[Flower Magic 776]

Dare to dream ...

 

[Bleed red and blue 59]

After 40 years all I want is one just one time to see them lift the cup 

Already told the missus and kids if we do I'll be missing for a month 

Just one time

[Craig Hutchinson 126]

One Flag and I am cured of MFCSS . The MFC army IS mustering after a long furlough . The members was packed . As the season goes on more will join and other teams supporters will jump on for the finals . We are 4 games ahead of Richmond in 8th . Pinching myself so often to make sure I am not dreaming that I am red and blue on the outside . 

[Bleed red and blue 59]

Looking at the season from afar and if all lists are healthy coming into september.TO me it's a race out of 5 teams this year

Dees,dogs,port, tigers and cats

Just all comes down to the top 4 and where everyone plays 

Anyone can knock anyone off on the day ATM but if the interstate teams don't make the top 4 it's going to be tough for them 

The only real smokey at the g is the Swans it suits there game but I think the kids will run out of legs in a long season

Just hope like hell we keep doing what where doing

go demons

I would drop the Tigers ( said after 2nd round they would be lucky to make the 8 ) and put in Brisbane . Hoping Lions also  tire at season .

The only significance of 9 wins in a row is that it is one more than 8 wins in a row.

One week at a time. First make the eight, then the four, then the two.

Have been through too many false projections.

Sadly I agree with you tiers however I do enjoy 9 zero more than any other result at this point. And we still haven’t beaten anyone above us!

I've always had the view that it's not a bad thing if you’re not playing your best football this time of year.  I just worry that we've peaked too early.

[roy11 3,853]

Already won as many as last season.

I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.

 

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

We need to finish top 2 to give us the best chance of winning the flag.  This season it is likely that 16 wins will secure top 2.  As such the only significance of our 9 - 0 start is that we now required just 7 wins from the last 13 games to achieve this.

I don't think we've peaked at all.  Working out what is our optimal forward set-up is very much work-in-progress.

regualtion 10-0 by next Saturday night OD...?

the fun begins the week after

Not too worried about the Dogs.. can stand a loss

It's the Bears in Alice that is shaping as a big game

Been to any Casey games DJ? I am thinking  of the Footscray game. 

[DeeZone 9,824]

Just taking it one game at a time, no point in stressing ahead of time, enjoying the serenity of it all and we still haven’t played our best Footy yet. Each win puts us that much closer to Finals footy and how we all loved 2018 and we are now a better team. 2021 roll on and on.!!!!

Go Dee’s...!!!!

was intending to go on Saturday but the weather and drive put me off.

Bulldogs is a real possibility.

Would love a game at Preston/Windy Hill/Coburg or Port.

Seems that the VFL draw pits the AFL related teams against each other.

The streak is challenging for mental state. Increasingly I've found myself going to the footy hoping not to lose rather than to win. Makes it slightly less enjoyable when we do inevitably grind out our predictable 4-5 goal win.

Such strange times! Loving it though, can't wait to see how we go in the Bulldogs game. Every chance they get roadblocked by our impenetrable defensive walls and our big boys turn on up the offensive hurt factor.

I’d like to know the significance of 9-0 for other teams in recent history i.e. last 20 years. How many teams that went 9-0 ended up winning the premiership?

we keep saying this but starting to wonder if they can improve greatly.

You don't improve forward delivery overnight for example. 

Goals v Behinds is 50% luck... just ask Dusty

The fringe players are contributing well

Probably LJ has the greatest upside

Sure there is scope for improvement but not sure it will come.

Of course our present standard has been good enough so far

Yes I could handle a coburg lager!

I think there is a case to be made, OD, that we have beaten everyone above us ...

just noticed we have a VFL game against the Swans on Sunday at 1pm at Casey.

Assuming the sub and the emergency are back from Adelaide it could be a strong Casey side.

Sunday weather looking not too bad.. 18 fine and a medium breeze

Sadly Casey is the other end of the earth from me in the north west DJ. Hopefully that game is on tv.
