Last week I asked why I should watch. Thanks for the resounding answer.

I don't know how to cope with being ahead and on top. I'm conditioned for being down by 50 at half time. I can't sit still, this is going to be the longest half time ever.

2 pts down. First bit of the quarter wad diabolical, much improved and started to get on top by the end of it.

I wouldn't either, but I don't think it matters a fig what MFC people think when it's non-MFC people publishing the articles.

It's an article on the AFL website that has also been published on our website. It's not "our" article per se.

You know it's a sad state of affairs when rolling another 0-3 team would be upset of the round.

What sort of question is that? Of course you can question someone's knowledge on a topic based on what they say about it.

Yes, one symptom. I'm glad we can agree. People who suffer depression don't have to feel sad. You can have one without the other.

*You* called Clark a coward! You are dead set unbelievable.

Depression is not being sad. Being sad is not even a prerequisite to suffering depression. The fact that you keep saying stuff like that is just proving that you have no idea at all. Stop embarrassing yourself, seriously.

Precisely. If the jaw was shattered in to a million pieces you might expect a result sooner.

Great article, really captures the moment and how I feel. 15 games for the club. He's always been Hercules in my mind, it's hard to reconcile that against so few games. I wonder if a player has ever been so loved by his club with so few games.

Funny how I could see this coming from a mile off and yet it's done little to soften the blow. I suppose I was in more than a little denial. I'm shattered for him, the club, and my own dismal morale. Best of luck Mitch. Hope you find your happy place.

Indeed. My disillusionment has caused me to just hate the whole game. The day I stop supporting the MFC is the day I stop supporting the game altogether. I'm not there yet, but it is wearing more thin than I ever thought it could. Off topic for a bit, but I even find this when watching new sports that I haven't taken an interest in before. I've watched a bit of NFL and a small amount of ice hockey before, and the biggest problem is for me is that I don't connect with *any* of the teams - the "you can't change teams" thing seems to apply in my brain even when I haven't picked an initial team yet.

From this article: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-defender-james-frawley-puts-800000-bounty-on-his-head-to-switch-clubs/story-fni5f91a-1226877161611 You don't say!

hah! What's the opposite of a harbinger of doom? A harbinger of joy?

I hope Mitch stays purely to make all the harbingers of doom look stupid.

Cross is easily in our best 10 players.

Maybe we've had it wrong all this time, and WYL is actually a genius visionary.

Post match discussion, friends.

Someone give me one reason why I should watch next week? Every time I take three hours out of my precious weekend, that's time with my family or time doing something productive that I'm not getting, and all I get out of it is frustration and disappointment. I watch footy for entertainment. The last two weeks have left me feeling so immensely bored that all it is becoming is a complete waste of time. I don't even want to watch the good teams play any more. I'm currently supporting this team out of obligation. I'm not sure how much longer I can hang on.

Turned it off. Can't bear it anymore.

Reasons to watch the second half?

This is thoroughly the most boring game of football I have ever watched.

It's futile, PSD. Do yourself a favour and don't engage. I make the same mistake far too often.
