Demonsone

Just done some numbers on if we played each other once ... Pies 10 wins Demond 9 wins with a game to go...

Unbelievably Pies could finish 2nd if WC lose or 4th with only 1 win vs a top 8 side! So 13 wins against bottom 8 sides & finish as high as 2nd! Call me old fashion but finishing 2nd meant you had a number of wins against top sides! Would be interesting to see what the ladder would be if we only played each other once.

Reinforces why this group shouldn’t take it for granted as the finals/premiership clock can be very short eg Bulldogs!

Great to see & reinforces what the club means to pass players in particular to Swarta who played in a losing GF & would certainly tear up when we win it!

Gotta enjoy the moment ... not robots & also celebrating for their suffering supporters.. I’m sure Goody & co know what they are doing

At least in my last 3 decades I felt comfort that other supporters felt the same pain like the Tigers & Dogs .. well that’s changed & only Saints & Dees hold the longest drought 64& 66 .. oops we hold another wrong record!

Sorry to be negative it’s 5 decades of pain but can see the usual script unfolding & a repeat of 2017... It started with the loss of lever, Viney & Hogan , Loss after the siren to the Cats, kicking 500 behinds against the Swans .....hope I’m proven wrong

It’s the MFC anything is possible when it comes to losing

I have a 20 year old son who barely remembers our last final ... he’s endured 12 yrs of failures & always says I was expecting that lose etc .. that’s a club culture which has programmed the thinking of my son that the MFC are losers!

Spot on & the club officials say stay positive & back the team ... yea we do & by buying memberships for 20yrs but we have every right to feel negative & most of these administrators, ceo are gone after 5 yrs but members are for life!

Who knows anymore so many false dawns, very hard to trust this club!

Mate it’s 50+ for me it’s ingrainec into our DNA if support the MFC expect heartache

Unfortunately the reality is the lack of success & decades of failures along with heartbreak losses, missed final opportunities has created this, here we go again attitude ... 2018 is no different with a fear that another heartbreak finish is upon us. Supporters just can’t trust the MFC!

The MFC will find a way to manufacture another record to emulate the one in 2017! Our culture is still in question when compared to the Swans who with injury & form are now looking at a top 4 spot god help us!

I just wander if the players canceling this camp is the difference, are they willing to leave no stone unturned to achieve success. In particular that they missed last year by the such s small margin!

Part of his problem was the poor culture & development of the MFC which gifted games to players who didn’t earn the right to.

You need to grab the opportunity when it presents itself as it’s clear they should be in the top 4 not fighting to stay in the 8 . Let’s hope they haven’t missed a golden chance!

Tom Mac stated we don’t have a mental toughness issues & we are the most contested team & fwd 50 entries but don maximise on it .. Isn’t mental toughness to finish off your hard work???

Game is made of 1% & Doing the preseason camp could have been the difference. I just think this group really have not left any stone unturned to find success

Is our club jinxed? Just as when we are assembling a decent list we lose Lever after bending over backwards to get him! Viney starts dominating & cops a serious foot injury Hogan gets cancer & now foot injury I know other clubs get injuries to their star players but FFS when will our club ever get the rub of the green?

Our club is cursed with bad luck jinxed .. call it what you want... Lever , Viney & now Hogan ... the unravelling of this club continues

The script of heartbreak & failures & owning records which label our club with a negative feel just continues... longest premiership drought, highest losing gf loss 96 points ( though port are now) the cats 186 fiasco , missing the 8 by lowest % , highest inside 50s & still miss the 8 this year Sorry can’t help myself yet our club finds a way!

Telling numbers point to that they don’t play both ways hard enough with defensive pressure & a efficiency within the forward line.. Wow to miss finals with such high % will be s sickening feeling

Roosy put it bluntly side can’t handle the pressure & so many missed opportunities of forward entries. Should be top 4! instead will be lucky to play finals ... if they miss this should be plastered on the walls of the club rooms for the players to see each & every day!

Yeah agree & it’s not a deal breaker but it’s the 1% when u do the small things that set a tone for your team .. great teams wouldn’t let things like this slide
