Round 12: Non-MFC games

[Adam The God 30,153]

That'd be right. The team we play next week gets smacked, so will be out for blood next week. I swear it's happened 2 or 3 times already this season.

[Bang Na Demon 165]

Looking forward to playing the Swans.

They're pulversing the Dogs inside who are pretty handy in that department and with the inside game is our stongest suit will be a great test of where we're at

Dogs are a shadow of last year

True, but Crows were coming off a terrible loss at home v us.

That's true. Let's hope history repeats itself there.

Imagine how much more the doggies would have lost by without Cloke!

Dogs aren't much chop this year. Their midfield is decent, but their forward line is non existent and backline average. Won't be doing big damage in finals again this year unless they make big changes.

In their current form we should account for them in two weeks time.

Swans look like they're back to the form we expect of them. Should've won by 70-80 points tonight. Scoreboard flatters the Doggies.

sam reid was handy in parts tonight...

Great idea to recruit Cloke from such a successful club.

And a 10 day break compared to our 6

Wouldn't be writing the dogs off yet. They had an okay year all of last year and were only dominant in the final 4 weeks, where it counted

They had an OK year with 15 wins and 8 points seperating them from 1st ?

Maybe, but possible ins like Hoges and Gawn will help

[puntkick 325]

But to counter that we've got Collingwood this weekend who are coming off the highest of highs.

not sure which we'd rather?

I'd prefer a team getting smacked then a team winning by 10 goals.

We just don,t get pulverised in the 1st quarter.

SCG often produces rubbish games because its small size makes modern footy more compressed. But you have to love the way the Swannies targeted certain Doggies and mentally threw them off. 

Buddy is a freak, and I loved the way he intentionally led his player away when Reid was marking everything. Team goals are always the best. 

Every few years or so I end up a fan of an opposition player. Kennedy is a star. Tough, effective and inspiring. 

Doggies looked poor because of the Swannies pressure. Any team can beat anycteam by applying that manic pressure, like we did to Adelaide.

Adelaide v St Kilda tonight ... would like a win by the Crows so as to get some breathing space on St Kilda

The next three weeks... Collingwood, Bulldogs and Swans will go a very long way to shaping the MFC season.

Richmond play Sydney next week which will be interesting

It can also dent their confidence

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Messi must be pinching himself that he's sharing the MCG with the great Coutinho. 

 

As for the Saints, hope they get smashed. Again. 

Weller playing his 100th. Or as he sees it, his 10th.

Doggies loss was good for us last night,  Crows smashing Saints will be great for us too.

Saints will be desperate to emulate what the Dees did vs Adelaide a few weeks ago to show they have finals credentials.

McCartin looks solid.
