Roost it far

V Pies in QF

Pies at the G would cause some serious heartburn around here. Could you imagine, you’d have #binman rolling out the stats of why we can’t lose followed by #jimmygadson dialling in from Europe about the impending disaster. Then you’d have #dazzledavey swinging hay makers at anyone who disagreed. Poor old Andy would be deleting posts and sending emails like a crazed woman putting on lipstick. All the while I’d be certain of victory. Go Dees, unleash hell

Some occasions against certain sides would get a lift early but by quarter time back to normal

I just want this game over…..it’s scaring the siht out of me

What about at night, how’s the moisture then?

May a little stiff

MFC 2018, the bust will come and we will delight in it

My point is the margin and result was very nearly ours. We played great finals football and can hold our heads high. This loss may well be our seasons defining moment. Who knows how it spurs the players. I know that if I stood there after the siren I’d of been filthy with that result. It would galvanise me and I can bet my last dollar one M. Gawn and 22 others feel exactly the same way. Can’t wait for finals, reckon we’re in this upto our eyeballs

Salem and ANB kick theirs and Petracca’s goes 6 inches further and we win by 2 1/2 goals.

I’m of that thinking as well. Feels like we’ve something up our sleeve. Petty was a loss but I think Fritsch will counteract that. If we have Fritsch, Melksham and Petracca forward, along with JVR and a couple of smalls with Smith as sub I think we’re good to go

No team wins every clearance, we lost a couple out the front at the wrong time. Now we make sure we don’t do it again when it really matters

How do you know this?

That’s because he knows nothing will change the result and his focus is now Hawthorn.

Also in hindsight we did come pretty hard at them in the second half of the quarter and really should have won when Salem stormed into a sitter.

I wonder if Goodwin had his time again he’d of started Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and Viney in the middle for the first 10 of the last quarter?

He works hard does the Melk

Had we slept through the first quarter Carlton would have kicked 10 goals. Our defence was water tight, wide awake. Rewatch the match, we were very very good.

It’s quite damning.

Not sure I agree with Weitering getting a vote

Personally I think we’ll win both games and this thread will be a moot point. Our loss to Carlton was one of those games where the chips don’t fall your way. It wasn’t season ending or a sign of significant weaknesses being exposed. We’re actually playing bldooy good footy atm.

Too sensible, try running around flayling your arms

That loss will fire this group up no end. Too much hard work has been done to let it slip now. i'm expecting 2 tight fought wins to round out the season. looking forward to the response on sunday

Whilst I agree umpire bashing is pointless the standard of umpiring across the game is way below standard for the biggest game in town. Then there’s ARC!

This has been spoken about on footy shows. It’s poor umpiring along with the rest of it
