Curry & Beer

I would love to know what Dunny's instructions are for this play - is it just up to him whenever he feels like it or is there a certain situation he is instructed to do it?

serious question - when was the last time any demon picked up 110 possessions in 3 weeks? I can't remember anyone going anywhere near those type of numbers..

do you realise we beat the dogs easily a few weeks ago? FMD there is some insane whinging going on at the moment

Can I just add that any Melbourne supporter that has the aggots to actually turn up to this game has my eternal respect and admiration, for you have bones made not of calcium, but of structural steel.

13 on the injury list, about 10 of whom I would slot straight into my best 22 Into our 35th best player which for our list is about 8 too many. That's 6 players who should not be playing AFL. Down the highway for our usual disadvantage where the ground itself, the weather, the umpires, the crowd and the travel itself creates a big disadvantage Make no mistake, this is a 10-20 goal loss on the horizon What's important is that we as a supporter group don't lose our minds What happens on Sunday is NOT representative of where our club is heading This is just a belting we have to take on the chin With a lineup anywhere near our best, and without the away ground disadvantage this would be a contest But that's sadly not the reality

with respect

Agreed. Vince is the giant slayer, give him the biggest gun to match up on every week Agree also, with Viney's propensity to smash humans, and the greatest ducker that has ever played the game, and the home crowd screaming bloody murder, we would see a lot of white maggots' arms pointing n the opposite direction that we would prefer.

I'm not being a pessimist-for-the-sake-of-it here, but the line on sportsbet is 33.5 points to the cats. One glance at our extended bench tells you, there is no way we are getting near that, easy money... 33.5 will be the quarter time margin. FWIW I am pretty happy with where we are headed as a club, but with this fixture and our injury list this can't be anything other than an almighty shelacking. God help us.

It DOES matter though, old mate. I know we have not an encounter in recent years where we even looked like beating them BUT who is to say that THIS sunday we won't get done by a kick. It simply isn't fair. You are correct in your assessment in the reason we are sent there is because of our own carpness BUT that does not make it any less unfair. If anything, it makes it MORE unfair. So the Hawks are looking at 3 flags and they get the cats at the G every year, meanwhile we are struggling for survival and we get sent down there every year to get our asses handed to us. The dimensions of the ground, the weather conditions, the travel, and the crowd all add up to constitute an UNFAIR advantage to the opposition. We should not accept this as supporters!

normally I hat nitpicking the words of players in the media, but this one is a stinker. 'We will be examining what went wrong to ensure it never happens again' or something along those lines, would have been the appropriate comment

yeah just accept it and move on huh we might as well just play our home games there, nobody seems to care you of all people should be outraged

again, I ask why why why

the media? What about Demonland? Maybe 500 posts each commenting with their original thoughts that they reckon we should have had players behind the ball, and that our leaders are bad and we suck etc Meanwhile the biggest asset in the competition put on his first genuine display, Watts with one of his best games ever and a player we have been waiting 2.5 years for in the Toump finally arrived

He actually took two really good overhead marks under big pressure But apart from that, fair comment

talk about mental scars.. if there is anywhere in Australia that we will feel them most it's the cattery

Sounds like Bail is going down to the cattery.

but mummy I wanted to win and we didn't WAAAAAAA *throws sippy cup harden up

It was also cos Jonesy hit him on the chest

we have learnt that we could have won two games and we could be 5-6 at the moment.. which is a far cry from being one of the worst sides ever, which we were just 2 years ago

stop being a drama queen with statements like 'we get absolutely pumped' which is obviously an inflated attempt to make everyone wallow in pain as much as possible, which is a stupid thing to come on here and do just like OD carping on every facet of the club post after post after post we get it, you wanted to win the game

you must have made 100 purely negative posts in the last fortnight.. don't you get tired of yourself?
