ROUND 19 - Non MFC games

[Deeoldfart 7,720]

I know Port beat us (luckily I thought) a few weeks ago, but they don't worry me one iota.  If we make it to September, I'd be very happy to play them at any venue.

[SFebes 4,692]

Hawks dangerous percentage booster incoming 

[loges 6,022]

Doesn't look like any results are going our way this weekend.

[brendan 3,380]

Just checked my tips as I haven’t dropped 1 to realize i tipped freo, not sure what I was thinking

Lucky we didn’t lose

MAY must go for that after ball hit on Curnow … surely!!

[Dee Zephyr 17,429]

Onto next week for some doozies.

Rich v Geel

The showdown 

Syd v Pies

Lions v North 

 

[What 18,810]

Hawks now up to 123% and climbing.  Might overtake us by the end of the game.

Ross Lyon is a dirty tanker.

A couple of tough games for Essendon and North. The way Sydney is playing at the moment due to injuries Collingwood are a more than a chance. Collingwood are also in more injury trouble after this week. It's hard to know how much effect that will have, they've coped well so far this year with injuries.

[layzie 28,715]

Very dangerous % booster for the Hawks. 

[Call Me What You Will 693]

As long as we keep winning it does not matter.......

The Hawthorn v ESS is the early Saturday game. Shortish break for the Hawks after the Perth travel but it won’t make much difference after watching Freo stink it up.

Sydney can’t seem to win at home and Pies showing plenty of ticker. Simply glad we won so we don’t have to think about other games for another week. 

Would we prefer the Swans or Pies to get up?

Come on Dockers, salvage everything you can

I guess the answer to that question is how optimistic are you about winning 3 - 4 of the last 4 games? The Swans winning could put us into the 4 next week if we beat GC and other results go our way.

I’m more on the optimistic side, although we should worry about GC only for now.

This last month of footy is going to be the most exciting ever.

Two games separating 3rd from 11th.

[Sir Why You Little 34,434]

What has happened to Footscray? Are they still watching the 2016 GF...

They deserved it, but since they have shown nothing

Players and Coaches getting paid a lot of cash. 

At least when the Demons win flags we do it in groups of 2-3

That’s hard. Probably better the Pies. If Richmond and Collingwood are 1-2,hopefully mean twin MCG PRELIMS. 

only alternative is West Coast - think I’d prefer Pies at G. 

If we keep winning problem solved

Goal of the year?

It was certainly innovative and spectacular, but technically it was a throw.

Richmond have learnt to put the foot down....

The Big lesson we are yet to master....

Hear here.

It is our next big challenge.  We are capable of matching it with the best, but are not ruthless. 

[beelzebub 22,225]

Is it a throw though ? 

He released the ball... to himself...for the purposes of kicking...which he did.

Had he not connected... it's a throw.

Agree. He wasn't being tackled so I see nothing wrong with it. Unorthodox,  but he disposed the ball... For a goal 

[whatwhat say what 18,909]

would only be a throw if a) it went to another player, b) it hit the ground, or c) he took it in his hands after 'dropping' the ball, I believe?

as it did neither it's considered part of the kicking motion

greatest ball drop of all time!

So a player lining up for goal could realistically throw the ball in the air and then kick it, rather than the conventional Ball drop we all know and love?
