Something to smile about at last. We may have lost on Friday night, but the good news is that our percentage actually increased! (0.5%!)

your upbringing must have been more refined than mine 56.

give me something harder to interpret next time 56

Luv this site. Even when the content is not much chop, there is always the pleasure of trying to guess what the poster's (censored) word is.

I don’t think we should be so hard on Stretch. He is really only playing because we have so many injuries. He has played 40 odd games at AFL level which is an achievement not too many on here have done, and despite his limitations he always gives 110% and is noted as a very professional footballer, attitude wise. To call him a “hopeless AFL footballer” is just disrespectful IMO.

We were expected to be flogged. But I saw a great game of football last night where the Dees played a vastly improved brand of footy for almost 3 quarters. Sure there were skill errors but we deserved to be in the lead at 3/4 time. Our forward line functioned by leading to the oncoming player more than I’ve seen so far this year, and for once our mids hit their targets. We lapsed back to our old ways in the 4th, but all in all we should have won the match. If we’d kicked the gettable goals (and I mean just the easy ones) we still would have won - even with an error ridden 4th quarter. so we may be 3 and 6 but I am confident that last night has shown that we will be a force for the rest of the year. As for the umps, they didn’t lose us the game - we did. ( free kick count 22 to 21 in our favour).

If Jack has long term injury concerns and his playing time has to be continually managed, I’d hope he would step down from the captaincy at the end of the year. Jack is still trying to play as if he were 100% fit, and trying to do too much when he gets the ball, when he should be playing to his injury limitations. Unless he is 100%, he is no longer an inspiring captain playing this way. He may well need a push in this regard because I don’t think he is smart enough to realise this fact.

Pathetic post

BS

One small limp towards finals for MFC, one largely unconvincing win for demonlanders.

Hopefully not a 7 goal wind

I think that from our current position, if (when) we do make the finals, it will mean that we are firing at the right end of the season - and therefore anything is possible. I, for one, certainly hope we do make the finals.

Forward or wing(?)

Summed up beautifully H.

now is not the time to be a wowser - its time to enjoy the win. Be a wowser tomorrow

it would seem we've gone downhill ever since you changed your avatar. Please change it back. The old Ethan was also a lot funnier.

4 wins over the next 4 weeks would help.

For once we have a debutant that has had a great apprenticeship in the VFL (60 odd games). It’s a pity our other debutantes haven’t had such a good grounding. I wish him every success on Saturday.

If Trac plays well this week, let’s try and drown him before every game.

Surely spending 4 quarters back at Casey was all that Oscar and Wags needed to develop their skills and regain their confidence. Obviously an easy selection decision.

Gotta agree. The insanity of this thread is so soothing for the soul and feels just like home after reading other threads and being bombarded by certain posters.

Nor Enter the Dragon

I know the feeling.

I'm honoured that you even bother to read the ramblings of such a lowly supporter. I can only aspire to be more knowledgeable like you one day.

There seemed to be an awful lot of pack marks in that package. And couldn't he roost the ball! Please show this to the Weid on a daily basis.
