AFL - Round 1 (non MFC games)

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I'm trying to imagine how Melbourne would be going against these two teams. I'd say we would be a couple of goals down at most.

Clark shat on the Jumper Jimmy Stynes gave him

Courageous. I think not.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

TV off, kettle on, chocolates out.

Got it on the radio and doing some work now, but I just can't look at him.

He's eveyr bit as good as he was at Melbourne.

I can't agree with that. He has no defensive pressure at all, and that was a feature of his play with us. He's had two uncontested marks for goals and a couple of touches up on the wing and HBF. He's doing ok, but not great.

Apparently Roos and a large contingent of MFC players are there (reported on MFC supporters Facebook page).

He looks a little slow but give the bloke a break. He's gone now and we've got a true clubman in Lumumba now. Time to move on.

Good. The MFC need to study these games.

All class. Good on them.

It's nice that they can go and watch other teams on the back of a win.

Blease not even named as emergency. You'd think he'd struggle to get a look in with all the outside talent at the cats

[Gorgoroth 12,361]

Ahhh Luke Darcy...

Still can't string a sentence together, captain obvious is still terrible to listen to.

He'd be lucky to be in their 40 best players. A Gillies-esque DFA signing.

Hawks have shaken the cobwebs off this quarter

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Hawthorn are something else

[Sir Why You Little 34,937]

Sewage machine...

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Apparently he had 29 touches in the reserves yesterday, even though Geelong were thumped. He won't play a senior game for them.

Thank god the MFC have finally started to do what Hawthorn has been doing since forever - draft players that can execute basic skills and have an appetite for the contest.

We're now down by ten goals.

Steve Johnson is a dirty sniper

[Emerald 1,736]

Did Clark and Lake catch the same bus from the nuthouse?

[Guest]

"Into the safe hands of Frawley."

Huh?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,560]

Hawk fans booing Clark?

Love it.

[sue 8,477]

I don't usually barrack for Hawthorn but find myself doing it today despite myself. I think it is because if Hawthorn are dominating I don't have to see those ex-Demons at the other end.

[McQueen 17,864]

All class. Good on them.

Huh?

I don't think they're there to support Clark or Frawley but rather watch two of the best teams in the comp go at it.

Purely a learning exercise.

ED: loving the booing of him.

That hit by Johnson was cheap and should get weeks. Had potential to cause serious injury, was unexpected, from behind, and out of play.

However it was 2-3 minutes before the melee which and to center around Clark. Any idea what sparked it?

[Chook 14,614]

Does everyone know something I don't? Clark is being praised for [censored] us over and a couple months later going to a successful team

Courageous? I'm going to punch the TV in a second

If Mitch Clark makes a successful comeback from injury and whatever mental health issues he has (clearly he's a nutbag of the highest order even if he isn't depressed), it will be a fantastic story for everyone except Melbourne. We're the only loser here (though I can remember a nice goal that was kicked on the weekend that wouldn't have been kicked had things not gone down the way they have).
