AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
We were on the verge on finals before that game, the fact that 6 years have passed and I still look back on that as the single worst moment i've witnessed in Melbourne's history says it all really. We had nothing at all to look forward to in 2012, I can assure you that was much worse.
Yeah it's no doubt disappointing, but i'm trying to find a positive here haha. I would write about the negatives but i'm sure there is a character limit
No way Striker, did you see yesterday how the Suns kicked 20 pints for the whole game? They lost by 115 points. That is 12 GOALS better than 186. Hopefully this week end is some final residual product of the losing culture that has haunted the club since that debacle. That was the lowest point. I'm sticking my neck out and saying we won't be feeling this much pain again for a while. Like you said above, we've had some pretty shit luck this year too.
Finals really don't mean jack if you can't win them, and given our form over the last five weeks of the season, we weren't going to win one. This season won't be recalled with much fondness by any Dees supporter, but hopefully it spurs the players on to greater things. We got to play the long game here. Tough day though mate, I agree with you on that.
It was the best season we've had since then by a long shot but most players are either sore or tired. Jones's interrupted season has finally caught up with him, likewise with Gawn who isn't even a shadow of his former self. Have a look at some of the young guys that carried a huge chunk of the load early in the season, Petracca, Hunt and Hannan all have had great seasons but they need more conditioning, and then you have guys that have completely fallen out of form at the wrong time (Watts, Vince, Frost and Garlett). Considering how pragmatic our season has been compared to last year, it's amazing we managed to win 2 more games. If anything we've managed to breathe more life in Pedo and Watts early on when Gawn was injured, reinvent T Mac as a forward due to hogans year and given guys like Hannan and Petracca valuable midfield minutes.
this feeling is a sign for me to step away next year a bit I think - maybe only attend a few games. should not be getting this upset over Sport its ridiculous.

yeh i think it got deleted so it might have been a troll
You're still there though. You still had to have a win by a specific margin which you achieved. I can't help but think that drove your group. Yeah you have been poor a lot, but at the end of the day you're playing finals and that's all that matters. I'll back you against Port, reckon you'll roll them.
I agree. I think 186 wasn't as bad. Given what was at stake.
Well Frost has gone missing so it looks like we are in the box seat for Lever. I am hoping we get him. We can send Bernie Vince back to Adelaide as well. The sooner some hard calls are made the better.
