" Tarranto and Hopper nowhere to be seen, they have checked out because Harddick ****ed us over and sold them false hope and we paid the farm for it. Never seen such a club fall from grace in space of 2 years ever "

 

[krakouers]

No excuses at Marvel to lose to this mob.

Didn’t think they liked going past Jolimont?

Plenty of empty seats next week.

There are no excuses BUT thinking that this Richmond team that are playing against the Pies will be the same team that plays against us is foolish. They will smell a win for the first time in a while.

Also Dusty back helps them

that doesn't apply to us?

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Yeah but to a lesser extent. We have received our plaudits from the media for a bunch of honourable losses. If we pocketed wins against the pies and dees, there’d be no need for this conversation.

We will be hungry, but the tigers will be hungrier. We have to be very very careful.

 

[the big lebowski]

We’ve won 7 games in 3 years

How anyone can assume we’ll win is beyond me

Our mids and backs will handle their mids and forwards we just need to find a function forward line...We will easily win this game next week by 5+ goals

i would hope and plainly expect that our players wouldn't give two shits what the media says

likewise i would hope that close losses drive the hunger, not subdue it

I doubt anyone is assuming anything. Being confident of a rare victory isn't the same as assuming a win.

Praying you are correct, but as that one game against an injury riddled West Coast side showed, the North Melbourne way is making things harder than they need to be.

God that’s depressing

 

[Caracas]

West coast lose but their % has gone up.

I'm not completey sold on Collingwood beating Richmond tomorrow.

God it sucks we still have to worry about the fekkin spoon..

Sold!!!!

 

[Sillygit]

this is the shittest thrashing ive ever seen

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Taranto injured and potentially out for next week!

 

[the big lebowski]

God that’s depressing

Could have been worse if I included 2021 and 2020

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Dusty could be 75 and in a wheelchair, and he'd somehow still find a way to get up against us.

 

[kool kangas]

If you had to pick 1 team to finish 8th and the teams are> Essendon, Bulldogs, Demons, Hawks or Pies who would you want?

For me its Melbourne as l dont want
Essendon due to Bard, McKay , Goldy and their arrogant supporters.
Bulldogs because l that Flea Weightman, their coach and their arrogant supporters also ,
Pies just because of who they are and
the Hawks because if a young side is going to make finals its should be us...

only because he would have an unfair advantage as his wheelchair would be motorised....

 

[scottywiper]

Bobby Hill with the most unrealistic attempt ever. Took out a Richmond player. Razor Ray 10m away side on with perfect view.
Let it go.

 

[kool kangas]

Read this in a post on the Essendon forum and laughed ........Does it sound familiar?

This is a Brad Scott problem. He is a shit coach. He is not tactically astute. He is clearly making atrocious decisions at the selection table. He is not tactically proactive. When is the last time he has made a tangible coaching move that has shifted a game? He is just a politician. A good manager of people maybe - but a football coach he is not.

We are going no where right now, and I don't see us going anywhere with his arrogant, head-strong ****stick of an AFL politician

His last two matches showing that it is well and truly time to pack it in.

That’s gotta be a copy paste from our board way back when right? lol

I assume nothing.

If we want to solidify any perceived gains post bye we need to beat sides around us.

If we lose to Richmond or west coast we have gained practically nothing since the bye and you could argue as an overall for the 24 season.

We are playing better footy but that better footy has to translate into wins especially at home and especially against sides around us.
