Non-MFC Games Round 23

Another spoon for Carltanks collection hahahhaaaaaaaaa

 

Brisbane was a team rejuvenated tonight. It's almost like they didn't have to prove they needed a priority pick anymore; did the AFL give them some bad news during the week?

As for Carlton and number 1 picks, well... Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer... what more can I say? Watts typifies it for us. Scully typifies it for GWS. It's not the panacea.

 

Are the umpires for WC v Saints Western Australia based or they just shite scared to pay free kicks on their merits?

Pretty sure most umpires for interstate matches are based in the state where the match is played.

Ta Lamashtu. I thought so. Just get the feeling that teams go over to WA four goals down.

 

You mean like beating Geelong at their home ground when they are celebrating one of their all-time favourite players' 300th game? :P

True but a bit different when 3 great players are leaving. Plus geelong just ran into a good melbourne team that day. I mean what were the chances?

Sydney have gotten away with absolute robbery by getting Heeney. He's a freak.

No wonder the AFL intervened this year if their new Academy crop is just as good.

Free kicks 22-6, reckon that's more than 4 goals start..... They can't be fair dinkum.

Nic Nat having a fair game. Goals, marks, running, bouncing, killer ruck work.

I reckon that debate is well and truly resolved...

(see "Watt's going on" thread)

Jesus, the scoreline is certainly reflective of the free kick count. Disgraceful.

Essendon pull an impressive win out of their ass as soon as pick 4 is locked up.

What a coincidence. Been saying it all along, they were underperforming for draft picks.

I prefer the explanation that they were just horse poo, myself. I don't want to give Bummers fans another excuse to be sanctimonious turds ("we were a lot better than we showed, we just wanted the picks...")

It's pretty funny that Collingwood vs Essendon got banished to the 4pm Sunday timeslot though, in the round where the AFL can schedule the games when and where they want. It's a rare treat to have both clubs fade in to irrelevance together in the same season.

And Carlton. If only we'd beaten them all...

Yep, pick 1, possibly pick 2, and Carlisle for free.

There's no way Essendon will be reasonable in their demands (likely pick 1).

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
