Round 6 Non MFC games

Featured Replies

Just thought I would get in early on the big one tomorrow night.

That's right Carlton on the national prime time stage playing the Dogs.. (at least the Bulldogs deserve the spot.)

Bulldogs by 65... Tom Boyd to have a rare great game with appropriate commentary from Bruce.

 

At least Carlton get the honour to crap on prime time and not us. 

 

A Friday night thriller.

they were discussing that on SEN today. The suggestion by KB and co was that Clarkson had pressured the umps into rewarding the tackler. Has gone way too far in their mind and watching tonight they are so right

 No there is a pattern at least in our recent games, if we have the ascendancy, the umps will not pay anything regarding holding the ball, dragging it in or incorrect disposal and repeatedly ball up to add to the congestion. 

Then next quarter when the momentum turns against us, any attempts by us to hold up the ball will be called and a free kick given in the intetests of openning up the game. It’s quite simple really.

And our wonderful forward thinking AFL has made sure there are two coaches on their new super panel, and NO FANS! Way to look after the game.

Except that's not what happens. Good tackles and defense are rarely awarded. Holding the ball is often paid to break up play and congestion, and punishes players for simply grabbing the ball out of the air and getting immediately tackled.

Carlton must pay the AFL under the table to get Friday night games.

What a bloody appalling game of footy 

But it's stress free!

Those 2 50 mt penalties covered about 70 meters. Umpires can't count.

Yes and no, sometimes they give a free with zero prior, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they pay incorrect disposal and often they don’t. It just confused players and fans. 

Curnow, oh my! The Weid would not have missed from there...

Docklands stadium turf looks terrible, here is hoping for no foot injuries on Sunday.

Bolton on the bench looks like a kid on his first day of primary school waiting for the bus with the big kids.


Oh how the dees have destroyed my faith in them. Why do I firmly believe that Carlton’s first win for the season will be us in our typical don’t show up game. 

 

The standard of footy has been really poor this season across the entire league.

Agreed. An all round crap season thus far.

My friends and I who all barrack for different teams have a footy chat group going. It’s been going for a good 4 years now. And gees everyone is disappointed in this season so far, even those who support teams that are doing relatively well. It’s like tumbleweeds in the chat and tumbleweeds on game day. Total snooze fest.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
