Does Anyone Give Us Any Chance?

I love the MFC. I always will love the MFC. For anyone to love something that has only delivered frustration and failure over 30 years of support, one must be an optimist. I am always optimistic on our chances, year in year out I think we are a chance for the flag. Every game I believe we will win......... well almost.

It is a sad sorry state of affairs when I tip against the Dees. It means my faith is broken, it means we are really, really poor. This week my tip went to Geelong with confidence. I can't see us winning. On paper and form we may well go down by 15 goals. I hate the team we have selected, I can't see who is going to kick our goals. I don't see toughness, I don't see run. I can't see us winning even if we have a good day.

Is there anyone out there who has any optimism for a victory this weekend? Or have we all resigned to the fact that we will be 0-3 on Sunday evening, on the bottom of the ladder, and with a horror injury list and precious MCG games lost & gone our season over.

    I'm actually not looking forward to seeing us play on Sunday. However a backs to the wall win and I'm hooked for another few years!

    This is the first time in my life that I have tipped against Melbourne. :unsure:

    Surely you tipped against us when we played Adelaide in 2005 (AAMI) with half the team out and coming off a 6 game losing streak!

    im not tipping 0-3 start!

    No I did not.

    I never tipped against us in 2003 either (and still won the tipping competition at school!).

    You see why I need therapy? <_< :lol:

    interestingly at the Hun's tipsters page ( online ) everyone including the kiss of death is against us.... what do we read into it when even Mr G Reaper cant put a kind word in ?? lol

    I actually think where in with a chance depending on the discipline of our selected players and the mood of Geelong.

    If we win I will enjoy watching those that have thrown in the towel after Rd 2 wipe egg of their face.

    They know who they are and some of them are in this thread.

    Trust me Rhino I would LOVE to wipe this sort of egg off my face.

    Can't see it happening though. I am tipping I will have left the ground by thee quarter time.

    P.S. I know some of you hate those of us who leave once it is clear we have lost. I am one of those people. I understand your dislike to those like myself, but personally I find it way too painful watching us go down. It genuinely hurts me, thus I choose to leave. This is a statement of my support rather than a statement of my lack of support.

    I give us a chance! Geelong continue to be over-rated. The likes of Holland and Fergy have held key forwards before now and they can do it again. Green can kick 3 or 4 at FF, Miller 1 or 2 at CHF, Johnstone, Moloney and Bruce step up in the mid-field... Davey is the wild-card... Whelan and Bell play blinders... Yep, all is not lost!

    I tipped Hawthorn last week and I've gone with Geelong this week, but only after some deliberation. There are a few reasons why I think this will be a much closer game than many pundits will think. If the team this week can't respond as if their lives depend on it then a few of them might like to choose another profession. I think we'll see a much harder and daring Melbourne this week. I think we'll also present the difficulty of unpredictability for Geelong on Sunday. Also, the mental ineptitude of the Melbourne team is matched only by Geelong, and I'm hoping there has been some bathwater drinking down at sleepy hollow this week after a win over last year's wooden spooners.

    Having said that, looking at our team on paper, a complete shellacking could be on the cards. For the endeavour I expect to see from us, it won't do us much good if we continue to dispose of the football as we've done in the first two rounds.

    I still give us a chancem but we need to pick up our game and get moving ;)

    Hopefully we can 'wipe the egg of the faces'

    at least one gives a chance: The president of the filth, collingwood Ed Mcquire tips us to beat geelong this week. Found that very suprising as many expert tippers have given us no chance to win this week

    Last weeks Hun Tips had the outcome @ 25 Melb & 1 Hawthorn

    todays

    25 Geelong & 1 Melbourne

    We are suddenly a chance

    You're always a chance in a two horse race, and I seriously don't believe we can play much worse than last week, so you never know.

    I think Geelong are a tad overrated as well........Carlton had been up for a little while.....they were due for a shocker.

    Go Dees !!!!!!!!

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
