What they are saying at Lathlain Park

Bigfooty:

Not much to report so far. 

Understandably they are preoccupied with their injuries and replacements.  There appears to be some new injury outs that haven’t been reported in the media yet.   They are expecting at least 5 and maybe 7 injured players from last week to be 'forced' changes.

I detect resignation more than doom.   There was still room for a bit of humour by a few posters.

  • Well, everyone who wanted the over 30s out in lieu of playing the kids got their wish...
  • If culley doesn’t get a game I’ll spew
  • Lets do a Sam Mitchell Cleansing now get ready for Mid Season draft and then End of Season/Draft & Trade.
  • We aren’t beating Melbourne.
  • Melbourne will easily be the shortest price favorites for the round.
  • What was the injury to SPS? Been real good in the two games he’s played…
    • …s**t haircut
  • I have a morbid excitement to watch this weekend with the forced youth policy.
  • The emotional part of me says I've well and truly had a gutful of these highly remunerated but often absent 'credits' boys and can the lot of them.
  • The more rational part says if we chuck out ALL the oldies then we're asking for the pain that Hawks/Norf are currently going through and in the past Melbourne/Carlton have experienced.
  • What concerns me about this week is that with no rotations in the 4th quarter last week you can bet that those that were left were being pushed in the "red zone" as the sport scientists call it. In other words being more vulnerable to injury..
  • someone ******* throw this medical department out, enough is enough.
  • Fritsch is the one I see causing us big problems. I don't see a good match up for him.

My favourite:

  • Oh dear, playing Melbourne ...
  • Waterman would be great in a good team

I'll check in again later in the week after selections.

Agreed.  Geelong, Eagles and Blues have been the guilty ones to openly gloat in recent times.

We are slowly getting our own back...

188 would be even better

... I thought we lost by 186 to Geelong?

Either 187 or 188, I would love someone else to have the largest losing margin record - couldn't think of a better team than the Eagles.:cool:

We owe Hawthorn, West Coast and Essendon the most I reckon.

You are quite right Luci.

I'm not at my sharpest until I quaff my 11am shiraz!

In the past we have performed poorly in games like this. The other team has nothing to lose and we have often coasted.

I would like to see a ruthlessness that becomes the norm for us.

So the 9am and 10am shiraz's don't do it!

Can't recall us actually deestroying an understrength team in recent times. This is the week to do it and it'd be satisfying after 2018

Western Bulldogs, Grand Final 2021.

But seriously, GC Suns by 98 points, round 20 2021.

Here are some things these delightful people said on reddit a couple of days ago:

  • Melbourne were dog[censored] in 2019 after we demolished them in the 2018 prelim
     
  • God what a [censored] day that was, was almost as good as winning the grand final. I just remember all the media saying Melbourne were the favourites, they were so desperate for it to be melbournes year and for us, the team predicted to not even make finals, to absolutely blow them out of the water was just chefs kiss
     
  • It was also made more delicious by them wanting to be able to beam in video of Melbourne supporters to negate our home crowd advantage. In retrospect I kind of wish they went ahead with it

That was a precession! We could have won by 150 but kicked really inaccurately (18.20 to 4.6). We kicked 1.6 in the final quarter.

Would it be OK to ask for a 191 point winning margin? It's embarrassing to have to point out that 186 is not our greatest losing margin ever. That (dis)honour belongs to the Melbourne team beaten by Fitzroy by 190 points in 1979. Final scores were Melbourne 6.12 48 to Fitzroy 36.22 238.

We lost to Fitzroy in rd 17 1979 by 190 points. I will never forget the trip home from Waverly. Devastating.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
