If Melbourne sack the coach

Post: # 1339820Post felix »

In the bye round 12 which some media are suggesting, well we play them straight after . It's footy folklore if your coach is sacked you win the next week ..surely it won't happen ! It couldn't happen ?

I think only about 50% win but that is still good considering how bad the sides usually are. Melbourne are rabble and if we lose to them no matter if they sack the coach or not then we should all give up. It wont happen. Surely.

They pushed us twice last year, so must match up okay compared to other sides… I would suggest we get ready for a loss, just in case… alternatively just get completely outraged and demand Watters be sacked.

They didn't win after they sacked Norm Smith. Pretty much since 1965.......

No I should have had 10k on Geelong. That would have got us over the line for sure.

Surely we won't lose to The demons, even if they have sacked the coach. If that did happen then you would think attention would be turned to our coach


I love this club

If we're play to our best I think we can win.

Chances are he'll go ,it's getting rather embarrassing for them now.
Dead man walking.
If we base the 50% theory about sacked coaches,
No one would be surprised if they gave it too us.
I'd like to think that's just not possible.Is it?


100 goals in 14 games...Lockett is the key

in a funny way, it'd be a good sign if Melbourne could do it
in a way that "that proud club" Carlton couldn't "do it fot Ratts" round 22, 2012

think we'll be alright all the same

Even if Melbourne acquired the best coach in the biz, with the current team they have, they still couldn't beat an egg.
Our players would have to shoot up on heroin in the locker room before to lose that game.

We've got form in that area. Remeber the stories about the players drinking a celebratory champagne BEFORE the 1913 GF rematch with Fitzroy?

It's true... If anyone sees Dusty loitering outside our change rooms before the demons game, call security... or maybe Tom Waterhouse.

On the contrary I'm penciling the Melbourne game in as the possible highlight of the year.

If I'm not mistaken it will be..

Riewoldt's 250th
Dal's 250th
& Dempster's 150th

After a couple of tough games coming up, the bye.. I think we'll be primed for a big one against the Dees.


Surely.
