…still.

Don't get me wrong. I hate Geelong, but we spanked them in a PF. That's much worse than 186.

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

Okay, new target….191. GO DEES

I went with a Fitzroy-supporting mate.  He was driving.  We had to stay until the end.

Round 23 and PF in 2021 cleansed me.

I don't think I ever enjoyed a game of football from start to finish like I did that PF.

Don't get me wrong, the Grand Final was on a different level, but of course like every other Melbourne supporter there were moments of apprehension and worry. Not the prelim. 

It was pure bliss.

[layzie 30,051]

What a night that prelim was. Pain free and stressless, like a calm body of water. Everything zen.

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.

Spot on jnr, we never seem to be ruthless in any games. I predict a 6 goal win. 

[Demonstone 19,792]

Posted this earlier, but we beat them by 74 points only last year.

We played pretty ordinary footy at Waverley. Of course the Fitzroy game was the worst. The most annoying thing about Waverley was the fact they used White Crow tomato sauce to put on your pies.

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.

I could think of a couple of others but they will do for now...

[dee-tox 4,830]

Think it will be a standard 8 or 9 goal win. In soccer vernacular West Coast will park the proverbial bus and throw numbers back. 100 point + wins are more difficult with the way football is played these days.

Me too. He was one ankle injury away from winning a flag. 
Now he plays for West Coast.

Agreed, although how good was that come from behind round 23 win to clinch top spot? Hawkins hands on his head like wtf just happened. 🤣 Golden.

Exactly what I was thinking about earlier mate! I'm not sure I love the mixed metaphor, but everything else about the delivery, the moment and Max's reaction is brilliant.

Spoken like a true educator Adam! Hope fatherhood is going well for you mate

[DEE fence 4,567]

I actually think Adam Simpson is not a bad bloke, WCE supporters not so much, don't agree that we are not ruthless, there have been a couple of games in the last two years we have put the foot down, different to pre 2021 era. I just don't see anyway we cannot win this handsomely, with a system that should be good for 25 goals.

Sadly I felt this way before the Brisbane game...

 

[Phil C 629]

I remember listening to a game on the radio when we lost to WCE by 100 points, maybe around 2013-15, and we were so bad that I almost wanted them to lose by 100 for some weird, sick reason! God we were in the absolute depths back then. I’d love to win by 100 for some belated revenge.

Talk about a sliding door of doom..

[Ted Lasso 17,200]

Sounds like they're missing a few which will make life hard for them! i must admit i am never 100% confident going to Perth to play a perth team but this is probably going to be one of the weakest Eagles 22's that they've had on the park in a long time. 

Dees by 71

Maybe that's why it was named WINDY Hill.
