Since teams are ZERO-8 coming off the bye...
...should I just not put myself through it this weekend.
ZERO wins, 8 losses with bye teams playing against teams who played the week before.
Maybe we just forfeit the game and close WOOF down for a few days huh??? No point flogging a dead horse.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

So we come out as flat as pancake and the bulk of the 15K crowd are gone by 3/4 time?
Works for me as it allows for more space on the hallowed turf for the rare opportunity for some kick to kick after the 2nd siren.

Moot post you know you will.
I worry that footy is such a highly strung industry for the players that as soon as they get some separation or downtime from the intensity of it they just checkout mentally and emotionally. Seems a task for the coaching staff to get them to re-integrate.
Kinda like school kids after holidays. Many of them are kids.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

ZERO-8?
Do I want to watch us lose to the team my wife supports? With her in the room being a peanut?
Yeah....not really.
Seriously considering other weekend activities and focussing on watching a replay should we win.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

For your situation that sounds like the best option.
Personally I will be at the game as I have been for all our losses in Melbourne.

Have you seen a win? If not, please follow mjp's lead and find something else to do on Saturday.

The curse is dead.

Re: Since teams are ZERO-8 coming off the bye...
Let?s look at it properly though , only two were upsets. That?s around the norm every week .Also our game could go either way due to injuries in our backline.
I?m not sure the bye is having any say on results.
Bring back the biff

Yeah that's a raw hand but if it's any consolation middle of the road teams really should beat Freo on the road and there's no better middle of the road team than us.
Also, where has all the optimism gone?

Based on form if you had suggested that Carl would beat GC and GWS would beat Freo by the best part of 70pts based on form you would have received some strange looks.
It's been clear that the teams coming off the bye have looked lethargic and have been smoked in several key indicators (clearances, contested possessions)... the challenge is that we ''come to play''.

Both freo and GC played away and they are both very vulnerable away .
I think it’s been blown up by the media.

I have actually attended a few wins.
Hawthorn, Giants, Carlton and North Melbourne.
Currently running 50/50.
Need this one to get in the positive.
