Stop posting about Jack Watts? NEVER !!!
This could be a season where there is no standout team, and someone could effectively "pinch" a flag. Adelaide did that in the 90s. Dees could have pinched the big one. Beat the Crows by about 45 points in the finals that year ... (Can't remember the year.) If only !!
The only Melbourne GFs I can remember (and went to) are 1988 and 2000. No hope in either. Poos/wees and Drug cheats were virtually unbeatable in those years.
I didn't expect a break out year. I have supported MFC since 1968. I expect very little. e.g. I expected MFC to lose to the filth last year (Round 23) and even for Max to miss that shot v Geelong in Round 1.
So when something unexpected happens (e.g. beating Adelaide last year) I am pleasantly/genuinely surprised. Unfortunately these happenings are all too rare.
The references to Sydney, Geelong, Richmond are ridiculous. They at least had credibility before the quoted losses.
Sydney had played finals for years and years. Geelong too. Richmond played finals in 2013/2014/2015. When did MFC last play finals?
Deplorable performance. No upside. Well, other than the fact that I put $40 on Poos & Wees at the ridiculous odds of $2.20, so I won $44.
Disgraceful. Wasted an afternoon watching that soulless, clueless, insipid, unskilled "performance".
I'm regretting buying 2 reserved seats for the Anzac eve match. It will be carnage.
Deplorable match. The only upside was that I put money on the filth... Hard to see Carlton winning more than a couple of matches this year. They're terrible.
