Round 13 - Non MFC games

[Chris 2,892]

I don't mind the cats, in fact if we had no longer existed (as in merged with the Hawks) I would have swapped to the cats. I have good mate who is a cat supporter (his mothers side has a team of the century player for the cats) but his old man is a dee, he has the dees as his second team. Has been great as we can gang up on our Hawk supporting mate for both the Geelong and Demon games.

Definitely.

Geelong are making September, no doubt about it.

The race for the vacant three spots in the 8 from 2016 will be incredibly interesting. At the moment Richmond and Port are looking likely and Essendon are starting to look scary. Then there's the Saints, who are napping but will awaken soon you'd think. Then there's us. Five teams vying for three spots, but it can become four if West Coast start to falter. 

So yeah, Go Cats tonight.

Do you like the sound of playing a west coast team that has won one in a row? Is that preferable @qwerty?

I reckon the Cats'll be huge for years. I suppose they're the last of the Victorian clubs with a real home-ground advantage and a powerful community base. Also, being in a depressed region with swinging seats, they get a lot of Government support.

How does that help recruitment and coaching?

[dees189227 12,453]

They had a list in the age today where they went back to the 2007 draft and where they would probably go now. Obviously we took Morton at 4 and it'as not his fault where he was chosen but gee looking at the names after him that we could have chosen. We could have picked up Danger. 

But we do need geelong to beat wc tonight to help us on the ladder.

Shut up David King.

Just need the Eagles to get up 24 points at some stage. Couldn't care less what happens after that.

Gotta be the most over-rated 'special' comments man in the media!

[CanberraDemon 214]

And so it begins - Selwood gets a free for tunneling a West Coast player

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

Eagles

Norf

Swans

Port

Suns

Dees

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

West Coast are switched on tonight but I still don't rate either side.

You can add Richmond to that list.

[Undeeterred 3,127]

This is a terrible game of footy. Long chains of under pressure handballs then bombs to nobody. Awful stuff.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

So incorrect disposal is a rule?

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Haha wow. Had to kick that. 

[Ethan Tremblay 31,243]

Give Shuey a week for the hit on Dangerfield please.

All I want from this match is for Geelong to make it as bruising as possible. Give their key players some niggles going into our match, after all they will have a 9 day break and playing at home vs us having a 6 day break (after another 6 day break) and travelling to Perth. Seems fair right?

Can't see us giving up QB any time soon.

[Chook 15,023]

This competition is officially mental. Melbourne's consistency through all this is actually quite impressive. We're still the only team to have been in every game.

[What 18,810]

Besides the MFC making the 8, I want nothing more than for West Coast to not make it.

Go Cats (as much as I despise you too)

Oh no I'm definitely not saying that! Still one of my favourite days on the calendar. More just pointing out the AFL have given us a very tough ask of backing up a 6 day break (and travel) after another 6 day break, with another one coming. 

I know the way the fixture works these things happen, but more to my point I'd like West Coast to come out of this game nursing some injuries and maybe a suspension or two!

It is indeed. Made a killing off it so far.
