What

We aren't winning this game. It will be a miracle if we do.

With Jesse out , we need Watts forward the whole game. The ruck situation is rather diabolical.

Meanwhile Essendons injury list is virtually empty. That disgusting drug cheat club gets all the luck while we get smashed with injuries... typical.

Lethals view was that Hogan is a stay at home full forward and cant play up the ground. Which is total nonsense as Hogan is fantastic up the ground and very mobile.

Daniher is also a year older than Hogan and played 31 more games. Hogan still shits on him.

Gonna really suck if Trac doesnt get up for Sunday.

Not even gonna bother trying to analyse or think about this game after their VFL side beat us last season. Whatever happens happens.

Unfortunately I feel a 6 game losing streak is coming,..,. we will all be on suicide watch and talking the draft and is Goodwin any good, but we will turn things around and head into the bye at 5-6 with a percentage over 100. From there we can launch an assault on the finals. Its going to be a frustrating and at times exhilarating season.

T Mac as 1st ruck is an interesting prospect... obviously it robs us of our best tall defender, but he can run all day and not many rucks could go with him around the ground. Having Frost and O Mac as our key backs while T Mac rucks is not the worst thing. Guess we will see how adventurous Goodwin is on Thursday night.

Forgot all about him. Didnt know he was playing as ruck. Must be a smokey to debut this week... though he is just 194 cms, we may as well just go with Pedders in the ruck.

Mitch King will come in for sure. His assignment will be to just to do the best he can for the next 6 weeks, with no pressure. We would get crushed using Pedders, Watts and Frost as our rucks.

Essendon make me sick. I can not handle losing to them yet again. Less than 5 days til the agony or ecstasy.

Wow, its gonna be a hard 6 weeks. We were slaughtered by Nankervis last night after Jake went off. King and Filipovic nowhere near ready.

Any injuries for Essendon yet or does that only happen to us?

Exactly. Anyone who is looking solely at the win loss record and saying we have not improved is kidding themselves. In three of the five games we have lost a player (or two) early in the game, while our opponents carried on with all 22 men available. Our luck has been horrible, and we deserve a fair run at it.

31.4 disposals and 7.8 tackles per game... 19 years old. Incredible. Gonna be a very interesting Brownlow night.

Agreed. And we are a better side than Richmond, no question. They are officially the worst 5-0 team in history.

True, I can breathe easy now. Phew.

Petracca is having a scan on his knee. Thats the scariest thing an MFC supporter can hear.

They will have a 4 day break, already look slow and tired and will play in a big game today. We will still somehow find a way to lose to them though.

Check out this loser celebrating like they won the Grand Final, when in reality they struggled to beat a team two men short on the bench. Richmond will never amount to anything.

Already dreading the Essendrug game. God help us.

We lost because of injuries. Plain and simple. And dont tell me injuries are no excuse, cos they [censored] are. Also Richmond are still a bunch of pretenders.

Tim smith out, Hannan in?

Be bloody disappointed, but wont panic. There will be just five days til the Essendon game and if we are 3-3 after six games we are well and truly in the hunt. Dont ask what I will do if we lost to both Richmond and Essendon though.....
