AFL Round 12

I feel like it might be the most even flag race we've had in years. Sydney, Port Adelaide, Fremantle and Hawthorn (at full strength, anyway) are up there, and though Geelong's form is currently pretty poor, they're 8-3 and they've been written off before. Throw in Collingwood, who are also 7-3, plus the giant killer in North Melbourne (beaten Sydney in Sydney, Fremantle in Perth and Port Adelaide) and there's a legitimate 7-horse race for the flag.

Which of those clubs miss the top 4? Right now you'd say Geelong's not good enough, but if they finish 5th or 6th, who knows what they could do. Ditto North, who play their best against the best.

I don't share your enthusiasm for Norf anus but I reckon 3 or your 4 are where the flag will end up. Swans, Port or Hawks.

I can cop the Swans winning again!

[SaberFang 7,151]

Port would make for a great story if they could take the flag. Would give our team some hope too!

Please Bbo they are the officially approved salary cap routers .

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

Glass Houses OD!!! We have "brought the game into disrepute" !!!

I have wyl.

It is a sort of up market Collingwood.

I have been to a lot worse

[DemonOX 8,800]

if he had been in a decent side where he did not have to star every week.

I wonder how many of our past players would have been different players if we had a different coach at the time old dee.

I guess we will never know but it's nice to c what has happened to Pedo, Jetta, Watts etc.

That's clever OD! I just cannot conjure up an image of an "up market Collingwood". Too many single malts.

It wasn't up market at all in the 70's & 80's i can assure you.

Downright scary comes to mind.

Concrete boots were in shop windows !!

You may be right but a couple of reds helps

I will stay with the description wyl!

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

Nought are being thrashed tonight!!

[old dee 23,872]

I can never quite understand why so many on here have such a dislike for the Roos.

I simply do not share the feeling.

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

Only room for one Melbourne OD.

That's part of our problem.

They will not last in Victoria....Give them 5 years.

The same could have been said for us a few months ago wyl and it would not have taken 5 years.

The Roos are still a couple of years ahead of us!

Me neither. Yes, they are another club, but that is about it.

They will be down in Tassie OD.

Since CS was shown the door the MFC are in a lot better situation.

Much to do but it is rolling.

Nought Melbourne are treading water and getting tired...The AFL are concerned.

Yup

and thats the exact reason Damian Barrett the Kangaroo supporter constantly bashes us

Tries to put out as much negative press on the MFC as possible cos he knows North are first in line to relocate but he wants us to look like the biggest basket case

Hes fighting a losing battle the silly [censored]

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Gee the kangaroos are average, seriously lack leadership and some seriously overrated players.

[What 18,810]

Cos they are an average - below average team and we havent beaten them since 2006

it pisses me off
