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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
