leave it to deever

Why are we so slow?

After not troubling the scorer last week I was hoping Watts might kick a few today but not looking likely.

Lewis been smoking something?

Move Tom Move.

Yea its pretty sad. Is Viney out?

And every Dees supporter.

Bugg cant kick to save himself.

So much for the wind excuse.

Is there something wrong with this clubs prep b4 the game. Surely Goody notices that we r hopeless every first qrt. Wouldnt the sane thing be to bring in some motivational expert?

Our tackles are so soft.

This had better be a five goal wind.

Man we are average.

[censored] kick from hannon.

I suggest 10 mins of ac dc before very game/

Love your optimism but I think we will have the same number of wins as last year (or one more) at the end of home and away. (without the big losses of last year) We were lucky with few outs last year and I think the Freo game will come back and bite us. Confident of today but lets be honest,,,,God himself could not predict this clubs form.

Maybe dee deesline in...

Foxtel would not pay so much for the rights if people all bought an Afl pass. Its a bummer having to pay for the foxtel basic package to watch AFL. Without the AFL rights poxtel would go broke as the rest of their programs are crap. Just ring up poxtel and tell them you are cancelling and they will do back flips to keep your business as Netflix and googleplay are killing them. AFL is the only thing stopping Murdoch going broke. We should all boycott for a year and get rid of them once and for all. I could manage watching free to air and listen to more games on radio but we get so little free to air coverage as Dees supporters. What to do? Foxtel suck and will continue too unless there is some competition. Bloody Rupert ....greedy sod.

Good call. Wish he would get a game. Pick him over many others. Glad to see Weid out....kid seems a fair way away at this stage. Hope we can win but can anyone really know what side will turn up and for how long?

To be fair we ain't wining at the MCG either.. ..Ill take our chances and pencil us in for a win...if not then its good bye 2017 for sure.

Your right...I forget they have jobs to do off the field....fair point.

What to do? I'm kinda reminded of the old saying about shuffling the deck chairs on the titanic. Every club has key player injuries. Great sides have the depth to cover them. We lack depth. We have built a great core group but need to keep building. We need another cull at the end of this year and to stop carrying people if we really want a flag. Plus reexamine the list and see if we really need those development players we have. Hoping we can do some more creative recruiting like Lewis and Hibberd for next year and pick up another big, strong experienced forward and defender. Am grateful for the young guns that we have but they need help. I also think 11 wins might get a team a finals birth this year. Hope its us but the window is closing this weekend I fear.

You and a thousand others I reckon.

Good point (as well JKH)

.Love a key forward like Brown , Riewoldt or Franklin that can win a game off their boot, Been a long time for the Dees to have a superstar . Hogan seems to have such promise . I hope he can be. Wishing him well. We have been caught short in this regard for a long time. I also hope Weids will progress but he seems miles away at this stage. The Tmac experiment worked well and would be great to have the depth to do it more often. Its funny how we were all singing about the depth of talent this year. While I for one am impressed with our recruiting we need to keep building. Also tempering the players excitement after a big win wouldn't hurt either. How often to we win a big game , sing our own praises then lose the next 2. Do we have such low expectations? Is this our problem? Have years of defeatism taken its toll? The club should bunker down after every win and focus on what needs to be done for another. So tired of the roller coaster that is MFC at times as are so many others, Im sure. The next celebration should be when we hold up the coveted cup. That's my rant for the week.

You do make a well thought out, impassioned and respectable case.
