i still reckon we will win another 7 at least

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/tabid/8667/contentid/459269/default.aspx 24 games in, he is going OK isn't he? Pick 33 by the way, very nick pickup

watching the pressure mount, as the media cretins start to pile on more and more '6 million dollar man anit worth a dime' type articles is going to be a joy. "The Dees will land picks No.4 and No.13 as part of the Scully compensation, two premium young players in a "super draft"." horrible 'journalism' stating that as as some kind of fact. I asume he means IF we finish 14th and there are no other priority picks? What about the other pick?

well said

his effort last night was described as 'enormous'.. at the time of that comment it was the last qtr and he'd had 6 kicks. Bad ones too. I laughed at another point he knocked th ball into space to the advantage of nobody, it was described as 'clever'. I wondered what the comment would have been had JW done the exact same thing, probably accuse him of being soft

Jamar was with us for 7 years before becoming an All-Australian, only the last couple of those did he start showing anything at all - I know MJ's a ruckman, but still I don't think the jury should be in on CM yet. On the other hand there's a million McLeans, Millers, Bate and Newtons that got all the years they wanted and never delivered

he'd be about 4th in the B+F

Jones and Jamar used to cop it here too - until they hit their peak years and became our best players

you should appreciate the contributions of those who actually see the football club play matches in person - and I'm talking about the Demons, not the Eagles

don't worry the mods will ensure that any of the value of those type of posters is immediately censored, its for our own protection

well nobody is claiming a win on Monday are they? IF they put in like they did last week and go down fighting against the flag favourites by 3-4 goals it won't change anything about this thread, there will still be 7+ wins for the taking on the other hand we could go back to an effort like when we played Sydney then of course youll be correct

some of you lot are born losers, plain and simple 'what if they kicked straight' i seem to remember us putting quite a few the wrong side of the post including absolute gimmies by magner and garland in the last, not to mention a clear goal to nicholson that wasnt paid. besides, kicking goals is actually part of the game you know. We smashed them in the clearances, handled the wet better and played tougher and we beat them fair and square. The low self-esteem of some of you truly makes me sick, even my bomber mates didnt bother with the 'we didnt kick straight' routine cos its a garbage account of the match

I don't see why the statement is so outlandish, 7 more out of 12 is not a big call, when youve just knocked off 2nd on the ladder, have some players to come back, and a very soft draw?

R10: Bombers+ Super soft draw for the remainder of the year GWS x 2 GC North Brissy (Gabba) Freo (Etihad) Port (Darwin) harder ones: Freo (WA) Saints Richmond Pies Crows (MCG) could end up on 10 or 11 I reckon, obviously that is based on the notion we can continue to play passionate 4 quarter efforts every week

well the diffence in performace of 7 of our last 8 quarters vs the 32 quarters before that is phenomenal, and proves to me that any form is only temporary

the old MFCSS no matter what you achieve, you get blasted by your own supporters because you are not regraded in the same media-inflated fashion as Hird, Voss, Buckley etc Neitz- dual AA, coleman medallist mcdonald - back to back BnF all australian Jeff White - clearly the dominant ruck of the comp for many yeras Yze and Johnstone - 3rd/4th in the brownlow bruce and green - clearly two of our best performers for around a decade yet its their own supporters who drill them the most

what about finishing top4 in the B+F every season except the three where he played 10 games each year due to injkury is that the career you are referring tio?

HAHA nothing but personal attacks and naysayers all year, we win a match and he plays well and out come the kneepads! Comments please, Jaded?

http://www.pro-stats.com.au/psw/web/game_stats?mid=2012087 its clearly a stuff-up though still, the correct data here http://www.pro-stats.com.au/psw/web/team_rankings?ts=TA&year=2012&sr=13 says: round1-8 58 vs 85 round9-10 50.5 vs 61 so our actual number has gone down a bit, but more importantly our opponent has decreased dramatically

pro-stats says the following data: Season average, rounds 1-8 (us vs opponent) 45 vs 70 vs Ess 102 vs 128 vs Carlton 100 vs 116 can that be right? how do we susddenly more-than-double, while our opponent ALSO gets an extra 50% wtf edit: seems like there is some glitch at pro-stats, causing it double all the numbers?

didnt see this thread when i started a similar one

Batram, Frawley, Bail, Jurrah, Gysberts, Davey, Martin and Petterd all not involved in that great win last week. Not a bad group of players at all

i dont think the term 'cakewalk' is running through ANYONE'S mind. I am totally prepared for us to be blown away in the first 20 minutes with or without Pendlebury. I just pray to the Lord (Howe) that theyve learnt a valuable lesson in how good they can be when all 22 give 4 quarters of pure effort, and if they do, perhaps Pendles not being there to rack up 35 touches might get us over the line. So i'll drink to his exclusion.

there's also his potential incarceration that would cast a shadow of doubt

wondering on people's thoughts on these recent positional changes and their impact on future lineups. were these flash-in-the-pan moves or will they stick?
