Do you really think we weren't all on the one week at a time etc... but why shouldn't we be able to dream and talk about success like other club's supporters do. It has been 52 years of failure for this club interspersed with a few years of relative success. Even those successful years (remember odds and evens) were painful in the sense that more often than not we would just scrape into the finals. Don't begrudge some of us some optimism after so may years. In reality however just like against Carlton last year the team are playing for members and sponsorships in 2018 ... let's hope we don't stuff it up again.

bit of a shoot out going on at Docklands..... wonder which way the wind is blowing? Tending towards a preference for a Bulldogs win simply because the alternative is so unpalatable. See that Daniher has 4 of their 6 goals so far

Understood ... I am just flat .... so disappointing ........a lot like the feeling after the Carlton loss last year

4-6 what else Seriously they are doing scans and Goodwin said he might be back this year

Not much at Casey to bring in. We really need to improve our bottom six players if we are to be a threat in coming seasons.

We are still on track for 13 wins which should see us in the 8. So disappointing to lose yesterday with what was almost a best 22 against a bottom of the ladder team. Will need an enormous improvement to beat GWS but hopefully we win those last three against the Saints, Lions and Collingwood. Lose two and hawthorn will almost certainly take our spot as they will have 12.5 wins due to their draw against GWS. Beat GWS and of course life is a bed of roses at least for the following week.

Tell me this is not happening yet again !!

Freo 15 points up at 3/4 time

if you cannot outscore a team by one goal when you are kicking with a gale ..... ??

nah... think we got this Hell we certainly should win from here

Come on Dees ... Freo still up by 10 points 20 mins into 3rd quarter this could be a very big day

10 mins into 3rd quarter Freo 10 points up on GWS Go Dees !!!

you are right of course but hell it would have been so much more pleasant to start the last quarter a few goals up. Oh the life of a Melbourne supporter

Hope not......... The time for a broken collarbone to fully heal depends on the severity of the injury. In children, complete healing may take as little as three to six weeks. In adults, six to 16 weeks or more are often necessary for a collarbone to heal solidly.

3 goals in 4 minutes to North.... how do we do this !!

seven minutes played and one behind to North is the only score.......... keep it up Dees

GWS v Freo tantalisingly close near half time.... Could this be a special afternoon ??

need to push them wide as they come into the fifty and thus limit the scoring from a percentage viewpoint. Need Watts to play back centre corridor and just clog up the space. Even if he doesn't get a kick he will do his job if they are forced wide.

Stating the obvious.... outscore them this quarter and the game is ours. Go Dees

love it !!!!!!!!!

and one more please before half time

understandable ... really North is a team we should beat easily if we're going anywhere

Come on 10 minutes of this quarter to go and we are still a goal down ... need to go int0 half time in front !! Edit .... even now... another 4or 5 would be nice

Is this going to the Carlton game of 2016 all over again. They are 17th ... have nothing to play for ... we all know the story

we really should be playing an extra tall in defence when they have the wind... Watts or T Mac or even Hogan
