Deemented Are Go!

Round 16, 1990. My sadistic Filth-supporting father took an 8 year old me to Windy Hill and let me sit with the MFC cheer squad as he spent the first 3/4s at the bar. I used to run around with other kids and collect empty tinnies for Cash-a-Can. We got smashed all day and were down by 27 points at 3/4 time. We came back, kicking towards our end and won by 8 points. Darren Bennett kicked a bag (8?), Ricky Jackson got a few and Gary Lyon kicked a torp from 60-70 m out to give us the lead late in the game. Goosebumps!

...go into cardiac arrest with a giant stiffy...

Indeed - all hypothetical, mate

I'm talking about Roos era - perhaps I should've been more specific. No question the improvement isn't as strong as planned/imagined. But I bet everyone here will be more circumspect *IF* we can get to 10 wins, look to the pre-season and gear up for, let's say, 12-13 wins next year.

If we can't beat GC and Carlton, then I'd say no improvement. That being said, I think it's worth reserving our judgement until the conclusion of the season when we can take a breath and assess the year. It will be fascinating to see how the transition to Goodwin will translate on the field - I'm hoping ala McCartney - Beveridge.

Matt Jones for captain!

Hey, everyone chillax. We'll heriocally upset the Weagles next week and all will be forgiven.

I was talking comparatively

Yeah fair enough. It's just usually stuie v someone!

...and welcome back to the stuie and wiseblood show!

It's the white away jumpers again!

I thought m jones shat all over N

It's a carbon copy of last time. Un[censored]believable

This is a [censored] embarrassment

7 [censored] goals in a row????

Maverick Weller looks like Charles Manson.

I like the cut of your jib, Nasher. There's an air of resolve around, I reckon. Cmon Dees, no f$&king around, let's sort these pretenders out.

Right. Tomorrow is now a non-negotiable MUST win.

I find myself in the unpleasant position of barracking for Hawthorn due to my tipping strategy this week. Bleagh

Just got a phone call from a lovely lady on behalf of the MFC. She was selling a $200 raffle ticket for an annual fundraising event "for the boys". Given I'm in no financial position to fork out 200 large, I suggested the money from the extension of the NT deal should be sufficient and if it hadn't been signed, I would gladly upgrade my membership package if there were 2 more home games at the G to go and watch. I maintained if our trajectory of success was coupled with actual bums on seats/memberships here in Melbourne, the coffers would grow without having to sell overpriced raffle tickets. She agreed and we spent 5 minutes talking about how crap the 2nd half was on Saturday night and concerns about this weekend. Bless.

Adelaide giving Carlscum a bath. Shown their worth at the G, gotta be considered amongst flag favourites

Solid. Seemed to fill out the backline a bit. Good support for TMac who had a blinder.

TMac awesome game I reckon.

Farkin Dermott bagging us out even after the siren, what a jerk off!

Aaarrggghhhh
