We've been doing this for years - during the Roos/Goodwin development years we'd often go four goals down then try to find a way out of the hole. I can't find where it was posted but I had a list of how often we'd come back from 24 points down to get within a goal and it was ridiculously long. In 2017 it happened about three weeks in a row. Difference is now we've got a better team to overhaul deficits. Then there's last Saturday, where we got so confused at having a decent early lead that we let them kick two goals before quarter time.

This is what happens when we forget what it's like to lose.

Should have hit it towards the goals and made a behind more likely but still with the idea of winning it if possible.

Carlton fans by the looks of it. How the mighty have fallen.

I like the idea that we're elitists who enjoy skiing but would still shop at Aldi.

I don't think he needs to, just wedge an arm up the back passage of his successor and carry on like nothing's changed.

Jeff going for his own version of the prison bar jumper distraction from the team being rubbish.

If you wait until the public sale can you use a premium membership to get a general admission ticket on level four? I pay for a Redlegs membership but don't want to sit in the seats and it's painful being assigned a seat five down an aisle squashed in with randoms when there's 10,000 free seats on Level 4.

I know from our experience that journos love bringing this up to cause outrage when the club hasn't asked for anything yet, but it's a bit early to be discussing it. Who knows if their kids will improve and they'll win 4 or 5 games. I'm not against priority picks if they're no better than end of the first round, but they've also got to take some responsibility for dumping senior players and concentrating on kids.

English football manager Barry Fry took a ceremonial pish in all four corners of Birmingham's pitch to try and reverse a supposed gypsy curse. Let's see the people in this thread who think curses are a real thing load up and have a go at the same sort of exorcism.

Harris just kicked four goals in eight games for a team on the cusp of the finals, I wouldn't pay her $3.50.

What about it being our first 8-0 start "since 1956... err... 1965... when Ron Barassi was in his first year as coach". Whoever wrote that fun fact for Darcy forgot to include the bit about RDB coaching Carlton.

I'd rather be boiled in oil than do community singing - even for a good cause - but hope you have better luck than when Collingwood tried to get the crowd to sing Nothing Else Matters by Metallica and were greeted with dead silence.

Thank you @Whispering_Jack and all, also to Slattery Publishing/Hardie Grant for giving me the chance to turn pro. If you'd like to contribute to Jeff Bezos' next divorce settlement you can also pre-order at Amazon. And yes, I am very much hoping that by the end of September the title is rendered irrelevant. Should come with a free texta so you can alter it in the event of another flag.

As if Melbourne 1956 wasn't better.

The real Hutchy would have had Carpet Call presenting the post on behalf of McDonalds and Drouin Machinery Maintenance.

I always thought we put him away as well, but just looked it up and he went on for five more weeks and won another game before leaving.

We finished off both Stan Alves and Grant Thomas by beating St Kilda in finals. Bit hasty on Alves given he had them in a Grand Final the year before.

To quote the name of a great Demonland poster, I'm @Bitter but optimistic

Nobody ever goes winless for a season (and I'm not prepared to contemplate it further until we win on Sunday) but if North get any more injuries and have to rely on this lot they're going to have a dreadful season.

I would take anyone back except $cully but he's done. For free (or close to) as a backup yes, but not for any serious price. Screamers massively overrated considering most were turned over immediately or came when we were 82 points down.

In 2017 we had it in the second and fourth quarters - Q2, kicked 6.5 to 2.0, came into the last quarter six points down, kicked 2.4 to 2.2 and lost by four. Classic Melbourne.

After about two years off I gave SEN another try now that we're good. There's about 30 minutes of ads an hour and the other 30 is almost worse. Maher/Murphy would be alright as a frivolous 12-4 show but it's a disaster of a drive-time program. They need to get over the formula of duos in the afternoon and find somebody with a good balance of serious and light hearted who can handle the shift solo.

Might do an Essendon fan and complain that the game wasn't moved somewhere more people could see it.

Liam Jarrah, Brock McClean, Brent Maloney and Ricky Pettard needed a thread like this 10 years ago.
