Friday Night Footy

[whatwhat say what 22,703]

how good is this first term!

[DeeZee 7,363]

Amazing quarter of footy by both sides, has it all.

[deestar 159]

It's great but reminds me just how at off it we are ,

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Loved it!

[monoccular 17,416]

THE most intense quarter of COMPETITIVE footy I can recall.....exhausting to watch.

The club must demand that our guys sit together, as a group without coaches or hangers on at least the first few times, and watch this over and over and over again.

Amazing intensity, effort, teamwork, courage by both sides. Not one half hearted effort.

Never let go!

Learn just what unconditional commitment gets you.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 389]

Was just about to start a thread myself. Such high quality and a great reminder of why I love this game!

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Good quarter. Reminds me of the Demons.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Wow now thats an exciting game - I wish Neeld was watching (in one quarter they have both scored what we generally score in a whole game)

[Demon Jack 6,871]

15 goals in the first term. Unbelievable!

[LegsLeoncelli 162]

And in commentary, Bruce just described Kieran Jack's run as, "jack...off".

Does it get any better?

Bruce wasn't watching the footy at that point.

As long as he doesnt finish the sentence with.........delicious

[Little Richard 6,262]

Watching that little special on Joel Selwood... what a superstar. I wish even a couple of our boys had his fearlessness and work ethic.

Makes our attitudes look like absolute rubbish. I wonder if Col Sylvia could look Selwood in the eye.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Been surprised at how bad Bartels disposal has been, must be rooming with Rives and caught the Melbourne disease

[Moonshadow 17,675]

Has Hawkins had a kick? Very quiet.

Edit. Errr, forget that. 2 goals in a few mins

great game of football.

i love watching both of these sides play.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

It's amazing that every Sydney and Geelong player sprints as soon as they get the ball, Melbourne players jog.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

They also run hard when they don't have the ball...

[monoccular 17,416]

....and they even sprint when they don't have the ball, which our guys also must learn from tonight.......IF anyone at our club thinks they could learn from watching two determined, courageous and above all fully committed teams.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

This is what annoys me, running doesn't take talent. The players either don't think to run (if they are told once that should be enough for their entire career) or they are too lazy.

[Footynut 302]

Ok this is going to sound like madness..but...

After watching that game and looking at our list I actually think we should be able to match these teams for effort and intensity. They are human with arms and legs. They just believe in themselves more and have the insatiable hunger to get to contests and help each other. Our players I feel have bought into the psych of we aren't fit enough yet and we are still 'young'. It's total mindset - we should not be 100 point worse team than these sides. Yes we don't have a Selwood or Goodes but we shouldn't be as far off as we seem right now.

You are totally right in my opinion. In reality, 90 percent of the players in the league can be physically very similarly ranked.

But it is mostly in the mind... courage, attitude and work ethic... of which ours is [censored].

I wonder, what kind of sports psych program have we got on down at the MFC?

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,222]

Cant stand how McAvaney kept referring to "LRT". Even after he went off injured. So jerky. He seems to have a man crush.

I agree and have mentioned it before, particularly re Col but other "talents" as well. Do they really WANT to be AFL stars, or would they just LIKE TO be? There is, an enormous difference.

PYFO and show us, starting tomorrow.
