We will finish top 4 this year. The boys are ready.

Serious player. Moves well. Great skills. Plays tall. Good get

Heaven forbid you share this information a week early mate. Didn't you know the subjects we talk about on DL have an actual effect on the results on game day? Thanks for ending our season with your premature post.

Its like battered wives syndrome I guess

Each to their own. I've been suffering for 31 years myself. I've lived through all the recent histories false dawns. I can say with great confidence that we are finally a team worthy of playing finals and i'll continue to hang my hat on that until proven otherwise.

Given the odds are dictated by the market and not Sportsbet themselves, it would appear that the wider (punting) AFL community has more faith in our chances of playing September than many long suffering posters here. September is not a question anymore in my mind - at this point it's down to whether we are going to finish top 4 or not. 2 out of the next 3 should have us in 4th. Very do-able.

Clear my schedule for September

Such a disgrace. The FD needs to clamp down on this ridiculous behavior. All players should be banned from smiling until we win 3 flags in a row and Simon Goodwin cures cancer.

I can't understand the argument against the idea to be honest. Freo were a player down after that incident, why the hell shouldn't West coast be too.

AA inclusion won't help us win finals. It's a relatively pointless thing to worry about in the grand scheme of things.

I expect a 3 digit win here. Seems like a good opportunity for hogan to kick a bag and gain some confidence back before the last 3 big games.

I honestly cannot wait to finally get some fixture reward next year. It will have so many benefits from membership all the way through to getting more experience playing games on the big stage. The club has worked incredibly hard on all levels to get us to this point and I couldn't be happier we are starting to see the fruits of this labor. Well done MFC - exciting times indeed!

Omac will make plenty on here look just as silly as this soon enough. In fact in my opinion its already started.

Nailed it mate

Critiquing each player as if they should all be elite superstars in every category is misguided at best. As far working class players go, ANB is up there with the best.

That makes complete sense haha. The beers and happiness have got the better of me here.

Why is Gold Coast a very hard game?

lol what a retarded post this is. Go have a lie down. I swear some people here are watching a completely different game than I am.

Do us all a favour and give yourself an uppercut you [censored] GREAT WIN!!!!

Whoa, you actually analyse the fixture? Congratulations on that man, you must be stoked. You should probably start a career in professional gambling with these credentials of yours. Now as footy is something I actually get enjoyment out of (which doesn't appear to be the case for you, which I find sad) - rather than waste my time trying to predict results for the rest of the season, I think I'll just kick back and watch it as it unfold and hope we are good enough to turn things around after the weekend. That's the magic of footy - hope. If you have none, seriously - why on earth to you bother following a team? Go outside and get some sun.

You're talking about the 2018 season, yeah? Cause I just checked, we are top 8 with 5 games to go. Ironically, you probably expect 100% effort from the boys week in week out, but seemingly give up very easily yourself. Weak as p155 comment

T Mac or Lever for mine from this list. Gawn is busy enough as it is. Plus he wouldn't be my first choice for a captains goal in a clutch situation haha

Unsure if this thread exists already, apology if it does. Given Viney's foot injury re-occurrence - do we need to start bracing for the possibility that he may never get this foot right? If it happens again after this one within a year, do we need to reconsider having a captain that spends so much time on the sidelines? Not jumping the gun or being hysterical yet, but if faced with this issue, who would replace him (aside from Jones in the short term)?

This just made my day hahahaha

Have a quiet 18 beers and regret it on Sunday morning
