Where it has even for the last 50 years bb. In the wilderness, best we can hope for is to win enough games to threaten eighth and win the occasional big game.

Some truth in that DV8. Last year we were a eighth or ninth placed team that fell into the finals and caught a couple of sides off balance. Since then we have had injuries and have not replaced Hogans 50 goals.

Not far bb.

The defence is IMO not as bad as the forward line, the forwards give the backs nothing to defend. The Weid is not emerging he has emerged and what you have seen this year is what you are going to get. The odd good game followed by 4 where he struggles to have an impact.

Me to DJ as this year is already spent, also interested in who we recruit for the forward line. We desperately need to replace Hogan.

I worked hard at science and did well Jaded but I was in no danger of becoming a rocket scientist. At best he is a hard working average coach. He has been caught out dramatically by the change to 666. Saw no need to change the way we play and now we can see the result.

The side that played on Friday night had 6 players who are VFL level talents playing and a couple who are now over the hill. The list is not as good as you think. Yes we have some injuries but the back up players are not good enough. There were reasons off the field for clearing Hogan but we have no one to fill his forward spot and where are going to get his 50 goals from I have no idea. IMO we are and eighth or ninth placed side when we have a full list and most play well. we are in no danger of playing in a GF this decade.

Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

Might be a fast watch ET!

Don't be ashamed, whatever it takes to remain sane as an MFC supporter.

Right now the Hogan May deal looks very ordinary we don't have the talent of either.

Agree Tricky, the simple fact is it is only the players who can win the game in the end. However the instructions / game plan sure helps.

A bit like reading this MD

Are they not the same?

When the results are on board ( 5 easy losses in a row ) you can see we are travelling poorly. Then you look at the side and see the better players in poor form and add in too many players with vfl level ability in the side you know the result is going to be similar to the last five games. If hoping things will change based on hoping only Is what keeps you happy then good. My experience of following the MFC over the last half century is that hoping seldom if ever works. I prefer to deal with reality as I see it.

So you think things are Rosie AF? Have you noticed how easily we have been beaten in the last five games?

I don't think that will get it done.

Do you ever look with your head and not your heart?

If this is his ideal weight then he will be slow forever and continue to get out of breath after a 20 metre run.

Very good DubDee

Sadly RB he has too much weight wrapped around his DNA, slow and has never had much of a tank. Also a poor kick for goal. He has seldom if ever lived up to his no.3 pick status.

I don't think pessimism has anything to do with. we have lost the last five games easily. we have players who are sadly out of form, we are playing players a large number of whom are vfl talents. And we have not changed our game plan since the introduction of 666. So by and largely we are not with it in 2019. A loss is the only logical result.

Better get the bag ready ET.

The coach has said he has not reviewed the loss with the players. So obviously they believe that nothing was wrong back then and have continued the play the same way. Four losses since then making exact same errors. God deliver us.

Similar results, ladder position. Those are the determining factors.
