We are stiff to be 10th on the ladder at 3-2 with a nice percentage

yep I gleefully opened the AFL app to check out ladder position and was shocked to see we are 10th with a 3 - 2 record

 

modern football hey?

[Adam The God 30,220]

Just want to put it out there.

Viney is on 9 Brownlow votes.

3 against the Giants, 3 against the Pies and 3 against the Tigers. He may have even snuck one against the Roos. Not bad after 5 rounds.

[What 18,810]

The Jack Viney post match interviews is hilarious, the look on his face at the start is like he still wants to take someones head off and then suddenly "Im feeling very happy Burgs" .  Classic

My Carlton supporting mate made a good point about Rance's snipe. I heard on SEN and the ABC that they thought he might get a week for it. What Rance did was incredibly dangerous. I know there are a lot of cheap shots or 'making them earn it' clips over the ears at points, but what he did was almost akin to a King hit. Dog. Anyway, my mate said he said get 4-5 weeks for it. I don't think he will miss that many.

We are so lucky to have Viney.  What an example for the whole team to follow. Maybe the whole world.

He's a human dustbuster on speed, just sucks the ball up somehow whenever it's in his area.  Bless Jack Viney.

It was a coward punch 

[Jaded No More 68,903]

Lid's officially off...

I spent the last quarter in a clothes store that had free wifi... Not shopping but listening to SEN and swearing and cheering. People thought I was a freak. Was totally worth it  

Cannot wait to watch the replay. 

[Sideshow Bob 2,369]

That's all I got! Oh and

And edit......these too

Absolutely! and it's very important imo that the AFL makes a stand against this.

My own regret about this is that we've made it awfully hard for Richmond to finish 9th.

Yer maybe last!!  the way Carlton and to a lesser extent Freo are travelling!

I still think the booing of Goodes wasn't racially motivated, no one this year has been booed because of their skin colour. Very happy to listen to other opinions about this though

I want to like this Twice.

burgoyne, Jetta, Garlett and maybe others do far far more for aboriginal interests than Goodes. Divisiveness serves no one

 That [censored] Carey, defending Rance and the frustration, "he gets double teamed and triple teamed every week"

 

Since when does a defender get triple teamed?

 

You back on the powder Wayne?

Dear WaynCar,

Um, who were the other one or two Melbourne players in that contest?

I haven't been this up about footy since 2011 when we beat up on the Crows and Dockers.
The difference is now is that we aren't downhill skiers. Besides the Essendon blip, I have been impressed with out ability to get in and continue fighting.
Now there is a new streak that we need to break. The Saints have clowned us for a good 8 years now.  It's time to get that monkey off the back. 

We are a pack of absolute c$&ts and I love it!

Thoughts on Brayshaws game?

Struggling! Down on confidence, dare I say it he looks slow! Just wondering if the knee is 100% 

I can see Clarry Choo Choo replacing him next week! Depending on the Viney situation re Rance altercation either him or Harmes might make way for Petracca!

No other changes are needed!

Your finest Comment ever Deestroy!! Love it!!

 

[Optimus D 283]

Cannot remember which quarter but Frost and Brayshaw clashed heavily this may have affected Brayshaw's  game.

Fierce competitiveness seems to be the mantra of this new MFC group.

Well done  Dees

He did play a lot of minutes as a deep forward which knocks the disposal count down a little bit, i think he needs to go to casey because we have guys smashing the door down

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

We have the 6th best ranked attack in the comp, with multiple goalscorers.

the times they are a changing!

[Demon Jack 6,907]

Well, that was an experience and a half. What a win!

A few observations 

Max Gawn played the best first half I've ever seen from a ruckman. He had those go-go gadget arms working superbly.

Dom Tyson is back to his 2014 form. 

Provided he isn't suspended, Viney will go close to winning the Brownlow this year. Absolute jet!

Watts continues to surprise. Has 12 majors after five rounds and is leading our goal kicking list.

Speaking of leading goalkickers, tonight was just the second game where Hogan was gone goalless ... and we still kicked 20 goals! Despite the fact he didn't hit the scoreboard, 10+ marks and 17 odd touches is still a solid night up forward.

Wagner and Hunt are guns in the making. Loved watching Hunt take on the opposition and use his dash. 

Brayshaw dosen't seem right at the moment. Injury? Fitness? Second year blues? Will still be a dynamite player for us but I think he needs an extended run in the twos. 

Kent continues to improve. Starting to put together a break out season.

We play St Kilda next week. Dare we dream of three in a row?

[What 18,810]

Dean Kent has arrived.. second week in a row hes had a career best for disposals and booted 4 goals the week before that

 

vs Richmond - 25 disposals, 7 inside 50's 4 goal assists, 1 goal, 4 tackles

Yeah agree just lacking some of the OOOMPH he had last year! 

[Lord Ivanhoe 311]

I so appreciated Roos saying something about the deliberate out of bounds calls made tonight. As a member & suporter at the ground it was just so frustrating and Roos has officially put it out there for all to see. Thanks Roosy

I just gave him a whack back on Twitter.

Working for Fairfax, he should concentrate more on keeping his job than making crude comments about a bloke who just got smashed in the back of the head.

I might suggest that we boycott Fairfax publications but nobody buys the Age, SMH or Fin Review these days.

Can we buy it just tomorrow, though, for the write-ups about tonight? Pretty please?

Yeh, loved the kick from Wagner to Hunt on the members wing. Fourth gamer to second gamer, The Future is here

 

I was pretty young so maybe not remembering correctly, but Wagner and Hunt remind me of players like Ingerson and Big Mac in the 90s. Effective, reliable and pretty good kicks of the footy.
