KLV

It’s all just so predictable, isn’t it? A big game with so much riding on it and we come out looking second rate. I left the ground thinking of tuning the rest of the season out. And the finals consisting of usuals in Geelong, hawthorn, Sydney and wce holds no interest for me.

Same binman

What a shame Cats sarcasm dripping

Come on tigers

Happened when we lost to the saints

David king and that bloke from champion data, glen Luff(???) are of the same opinion. Even when we do things like sat night, the point they make, is that we are so very close, and when finally that last piece of the puzzle falls into place , we are going to be sustainably seriously hard to beat. who knows? But listening to their SEN podcast with what’s his name in the afternoons on SEN, on my drive home from work, has certainly helped with my MFCSS this season.

Remember stkilda beating us with a goal in literally the dying seconds of the game a couple of a seasons ago, I distinctly remember the club talk of the learnings from that game. They were able to demonstrate the ‘learnings ‘ and protect their narrow lead shortly after, with that amazing win over west coast in Perth -tommy Mac kicking that miraculous goal over his head. Remember him not stopping to celebrate but instructing team mates demonstratively, what to do to protect the narrow lead. they forgot the learnings

Yes

After listening to Goodwin’s presser, I agree with your sentiments. still life in the season, and last nights’s experience will make the Dees better and hungrier. Meanwhile we are improving, this is the part from which I take solace. Also we have been desperately unlucky

Yes, it will be challenging to win 3 more games with our draw, but if we don’t, we clearly are not good enough. Geelong are 100% vulnerable as are other teams given some key injuries. I believe we’ll make the 8 and closely miss the 4, that midfield display we saw in the third yesterday to be more on display. i tipped this round based on the most advantageous outcome for Melbourne, including telling my 10 year old lions barracking nephew, to do the job on the hawks. Ive done well, with wins to the lions, freo, and adelaide. Bonus points to see hawks end the round at 10th - out of the 8, Long may it continue!

Bravo DaisyDee

Ashley Porter gives a fair summary in the age this morning. And I feel the better for reading it. It was an intense, high quality game and we will learn from it. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/power-beat-demons-in-epic-arm-wrestle-20180622-p4zn82.html

great post. In some ways it reminded me of last year, when we would have the ball in our inside 50 for minutes at a time yet not convert. Inexperience, lack of composure and polish. We have the fundamentals but need more experience to finish off. A realistic outcome for 2018 would be to make the 8, win a final then next year come back with some of the much needed finishing ability.

Well done umpires, but it would help if we took a frigging mark

That’s cheerful

So stressful

Melk!

Thanks for the memory jog, I remember reading him and thinking it was great

Agree 100%

Mean but funny

Ha, yes chook these are common themes from goody. Seem to be working though

Well done

Wow, west coast!

Oh that is the best news! It’ll shut all that media speculation up...comparing him to Tom lynch as a huge bargain for a club to swoop. Good on you Tommy!

well the media certainly is not holding back, we are the flavour of the Monday night footy programs. Praise is wildly enthusiastic. It would be just like the mfc of the last heartbreaking 10 years, to be set up now for one big massive fail. it won’t happen , we are past that. This is the new beginning
