The best thing about today


Gorgoroth

Recommended Posts

for me messen had one of the best games I have seen by a mfc ruck man, but I was sitting a lot further away then usual. Great to see, our hardness at the ball all over the park was excellent - you could have been excused to think that it was the dees in the medias sights all week.

Just waiting for the replay on fox ATM

15 disposals, 12 hitouts, 5 marks and 3 Frees For....

Did some really nice things around the ground... His handball on the 50m in the last qtr was a ripper...

Looks like he could prove a helluva lot of people wrong :P

The best thing about today was that we were mentally strong for 4 quarters (apart from losing legs at the end). Bailey primed the boys well for this game. As well as being a confidence booster to the younger players it is evident that we have a coach who the players are beginning to respond to out on the park.

Another added bonus with today's win is that (by our recent standards) it is reasonably early in the season so this will do our membership tally no harm at all.

When the tigers number 39 (have no idea who the squib is) wussed the contest and for the next 5 mins Rivers absolutely gave it to him and really told him how weak he was.

GOLD!!!!!

Well done Rivs!

39 tiges is one Daniel Connor. A very young lad playing his 9th game. Does Rivers no credit at all. Be different if it was a, say, 75 game plus player.

Hope Rivers is one of the 1st to defend Cale Morton next time he is intimidated physically. He had a chance last week with Lade.

Just bully stuff.

What at load of rubbish.

If an opposition player squibs a contest (and Connor) then I expect an MFC to let him know about regardless of whether it was his first game or his 300th game. It was crap effort and if it was an MFC footballer I'd be disgusted.

Morton got under Lade's skin. Nothing to gain by carrying on.

Sorry Mono, Its the player's responsibility to let the opposition rookie know that he doesn't belong out there, the pressure's too great, doesnt have the heart etc. If the opposition rookie lets this worry him too much then indeed he doesn't belong out there.

Its not tiddlywinks, its dog eat dog out there. Its a process of natural selection. The rookie has a choice to go harder at the next contest............. or not.

Rivers may as well have asked, "Well do yoyu really want to play AFL footy buddy?"

Rivers giving the squib a spray for 5 mins was the best thing today!

But the weirdest thing today was after the match when all the supporters stayed after the game and then the team congregated at the race and stared at each other :blink: . Felt like a long uncomfortable pause because its been awhile between wins so I think no one knew quite how to react. Good though.

GO DEE's

Whats this feeling I'm feeling? OH! its the sweet taste of success. :D

They were waiting for Bennell and Jetta to come over to lead the players. I thought Bennell and Jetta showed a lot of what we can expect in the next couple of years from them - what flair and dash. Remember the feeling we used to have when Aaron first played. Well that feeling was there again today with both Bennell and Jetta. :wub:

A win is always the best thing but to see ALL the player sing the club song, this even gave the 3AW jocks shivers. With this sort of gusto wee need to bottle it 4ever!!!

Then be disgusted with Cale Morton and the number of contests he squibs, starting with his 1st game last year.

Christ, you can be a wally! :lol:

Confident boys, never drop their heads when things don't go their way. Something others at the club need to learn from.

The turn Jetta did in the last qtr was sublime and showed he has the vision and poise to become a very good player across HF.

And where did you pull that from Hannabal?

Rivers was running back into packs, not one-on-one marking contests like he usually does. A result probably of Richmond kicking in the general vicinity of Richo and their entire forwardline gravitating toward him.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
