GAME DAY - Round 10



Recommended Posts

If Collingwood win today they'll have 7 wins and they will literally have beaten the 7 bottom sides on the ladder.

They're nothing special.

Richmond and the Bulldogs are better sides and we beat them, easily. If our players remember that, and don't view the QB stage plus the big crowd and the opponent as being more meaningful than they actually are, then we are absolutely in this.

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

Hasn't hit some of the heady heights with the Pies but then he is surrounded by players who also dont rank as highly as he had around him there so I dont think you can expect "like for like" form every match playing in this list.

I still rate him though. Very highly when played in his traditional position off HB. Not sure he is suited to any mid field focussed role and woildn't rate him as highly when asked to play a role there.

The AFL ratings also has him right up there ranked 13 out of approx 120 small/medium defenders (and rising). Approx one quarter of the matches used for that rating have been with the MFC now.]

Blues skies and a huge crowd building outside of the G. Its almost like a finals type atmosphere.

Just hope the boys can get up today and experience that real winning feeling in front of a big crowd!

Cmon Dees!

Blood spilt for Danners today Demons

Do not care how you do it.

Contest by Contest

For God Sake kick goals. Just take 'em on

I think the Demonland wrist-slitting will give us enough spilled blood. We probably won't need any more.

I thought we played quite well last year.

We were fairly close near 3/4 time when the umpire for some inexplicable reason denied Bernie's goal after marking and playing on.

Then the pies kicked a goal just before the siren so it was a 2 goal swing.

We couldn't get our mojo back.

We have a better team this year so expecting a much closer result.

Could go either way.

Just finished a bike ride and will be heading to the G with Son of bjDee. Heartened by the great wins of Tiges on Friday and Scorps on Saturday. Here's hoping the Dees turn up today and give it a massive crack.

That's part of the the problem, as soon as something goes against us we go into a melt.down. Edited by america de cali

Could MFC potentially make the change of Grimes for Fitzpatrick now or is it too late?

Always seem to go in too tall!

it would be good to see the final team before submitting your own. But unless you pull a "injury in the warm up" I think that's all we can do. We look far too tall now.

Not a good marking day with this wind. I reckon the dees will be competitive but it does not bode well for Hogan and his marking prowess. 2 to 4 goals the pies.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
