I've noticed a lot of posters quoting their feelings of MFCSS in the lead up to our Preliminary Final against Geelong.

It's time we reclaimed this negative acronym, make it our own and wear it with pride.

My proposal is that, henceforth, we assign the following meaning to the term:

Melbourne  Football  Club  September  Specialists

You've gone the early crow on that.

Let's revisit that in (hopefully) 2 weeks time.

No, stuff it.  Enough of the negativity, the doom and gloom and pessimism, the whining and moaning, thinking that the AFL and the umpires have it in for us, that we never have any luck, the self pitying and all that feeble-minded talk of curses, upsetting the footy gods, tempting fate and all that superstitious nonsense.

The time is now.  2021 is our year.  Be positive, have belief, support our boys, think like a winner, embrace success and enjoy life as a Melbourne supporter.

Go Demons.

I can’t change anything I’ve been doing all year or else it will jinx everything.  If negativity and angst is the cosmic secret to our success, then I need to keep doing it.

 

Nah

I like it. Positive thinking. 

we haven't even played a final this september yet 😈

Sorry demonstone but the true meaning of MFCSS is so deeply ingrained in my soul that the only cure is a premiership.

Im [censored] myself. I don’t call that negativity just being nervous. 

happy to adopt your approach after we win a flag though 🙂

For me, it is gone.

Mysterious, inexplicable, and I don't know exactly when.

I'm just not afraid any more. Not in the MFCSS way.

For any given week or during any given game I'll be riding the details hard and feeling all the highs and lows, but I don't have that steady fog of anticipated miserableness.

I worry about a bad game, I don't worry about a broken and humiliated club.

Ease up. You're trying too hard. Take a chill pill, relax and watch the footy as it happens. 

I'm kind of late to this party. What does MFCSS actually stand for? 😅🙈

Same.
I haven't watched any opposition games all year and refuse to start now.
Missed a good game last night apparently.

I worry about poor kicking for goal.
Not taking our chances.

Oh ... And injuries.

Melbourne Football Club Supporter Syndrome.

Translated as:  always expect the worst.; Murphy's law says..., the sky is falling, a cloud in every silver lining, Norm Smith's curse, etc.

On ice for a little longer, Mr Stone!

Meanwhile, Melbourne Football Club Supporter Stirrings?

MFCSS got me  in the end. I won't lie. In the early parts of that 3rd quarter I thought we'd run our race. We were flat, and had nothing left.

I was wrong.
