I hope Hawthorn makes the grand final then get absolutely smashed by the Swans now..lol

Shaw reckons guaranteed less than 4 goals for the demons. What do you guys think? I think if we kick 4 goals hawthorn will only kick 10-12 goals

I think Cross is our barometer and guess whose back?

Then we claw our way back I.e sydney and port adelaide. Except the former still beat us by 30 odd. We do better without expectations...I mean make comparisons between the collingwood and Brisbane game to games where we were a certainty to lose; Port adelaide (nearly won), Adelaide in Adelaide, Richmond (when they were meant to be inspired due to the death of football great)...could go on all day....jokes I can't :S And that's just the indication of our [censored] culture ATM.

Whoo!! Some optimism... Keep it up lads. Maybe our positive energy will influence the players ;P

Oh mate I'd rather be the fool whose optimistic as opposed to the 'enlightened' one who's cynical. It's gotten me to where I am. Hogans_heroes I love the way you think mate exact same feelings from me. Edit: please don't misinterpret this message as condescending. I just don't get It... Would you rather be excited or down all the time? I love this club, and although I think their [censored], I watch them every week in the hope and expectation that they win or at least compete.

I reckon melbourne will have something to prove after their shocking performance last week. Time will tell. Hawks by 23 points imo

Do u guys remember the hawthorn vs GWS game...and the expectations before that? Before GWS got absolutely smashed by Richmond...

Having a laugh mate? Pessimism gets you no where in anything! It just limits you. I'm sure most of the Melbourne lads are going into this game thinking they can win as well.

Stop with the stupid [censored] like 'we're going to get thrashed', I mean...what's the point of even watching the game if you don't acknowledge the possibility that we might have a chance to win or compete. I don't watch my team expecting us to lose convincingly anymore. I think on our good day, we can compete against anyone. Call it wishful thinking all you want...I prefer to be excited and optimistic as opposed to pessimistic and cynical even if my expectations might be unrealistic to some. Go the Dees!!

Nah mate, I reckon we got this I never go into a game thinking that we can't win anymore.

Omg I love the outs. Actually excited for this game now!

Hey guys read the Hawks forum for a bit. At least their paying us a TINY bit of respect. Jokes not even a TINY TINY TINY bit of respect. [censored] I really hope we give them a good scare.

Guys I was too young when port adelaide started to know anything about what happened. But did they get the same privileges as the current expansion clubs?

[censored], I feel soo bad... I misread Beelzebub.. Soz mate been at uni all day. My my brain is fuked ATM as you can see

Nah this year we would be lucky to get into the finals let alone granny

Mate I didn't know it was self explanatory that lines and times means the same thing....in fact I still don't think that...so calm the [censored] down.

[censored] I know it's contingent on a lot of things...but we got one of the best crouching staffs in the comp. Once Roosy leaves I reckon we will be just starting to enter the premiership window :D

I'm confused. You mean times right? Or lines? Lol

Do you guys reckon we wiill win a granny within the next ten years?

We seriously are cursed. Dean Bailey passed away as well..

Obviously depends on the midfielders. Mate we are going to get more than 2 midfielders if that's our primary focus this offseason.

Yes and no. He shouldn't bring it up. No he shouldn't be held accountable. Our players were [censored], he made them better.

The truth is...none of our defenders are intimidating to say the least

I would also be shattered if we won the spoon. But I reckon it would be short term, as we will use these benefits more effectively through Roosy and the rest.
