Round 17 Non MFC Games

I can see the Saints smashing Carlton tonight. Harry Mckay having a strong game, which just piles more pressure on Bolton.

Carlton are in a horrible state. Its so bad that it's not even amusing to make fun of their supporters anymore ?

... and we've been there!

I reckon Walker will just get the 1 week.

Incident will be deemed as medium impact as the Geelong bloke came back on and didn't have concussion.

That’s what I was thinking unless he has some delayed concussion, MRP Always ban the outcome not the action 1 week at worst

Reminds me of our game against the Blues. Sitting with niece...an ardent Blue, during the last QTR she asked me if Melbourne could stop.She said it's not funny any more. I also conveyed...I knew that feeling.

Bolts is nutted.... walking dead.

Why the hell does Tom Hawkins smile and laugh so much after every goal he kicks? Bloody ridiculous, surely it's not that great an achievement Tommy

His face gives me the [censored]. 

Was a very good game to watch last night.

Didn't seem to be over umpired and the game flowed. The break aways on the scoreboard followed by Geelong reeling it back added to the excitement in that it wasn't your classic arm wrestle where only a few points separate the teams.

Just wondering if anyone knows why it felt so open as a game? Was there a particular tactic or was it just luck.

Yep,

When a team is down, you expect to see the wheel turn, however it took a very long time for our club to turn things around, Carlton arguably are taking even longer than we did. Gold Coast and Brisbane similarly, although the Lions look ok in the next couple of years.

Free Agency has not helped the plight of supporters at the base of the ladder, one bit! But again it's not easy for the players to be smashed for so long either.

It's a key reasons why the MFC has to take on some opportunities with Free Agency (like Gaff etc) because they are the free hits that we get whilst we are seen as a destination club on the way up... and it's why your list managers are probably the most crucial member of the football dept.

Manipulation by umpires is why

23 years... 1964 to 1987... and

2006? (cannot remember but I think that was when we were last in the finals) until ???.

That's a long time by any measure

care to expand. I didn't really notice the umpires other than the strange free kick to Ablett in the centre.

I agree with your comment if we are measuring as 'ultimate success' i.e in terms of premierships. However if we are talking in terms of a team and their likelihood to front up to a game ... or a season and not have any hope except for the following seasons draft.... all supporters want a premiership, but we are sustained by watching our teams play week to week. Fronting up knowing that the odds see you getting flogged by the opposition .... sustained periods of that scars clubs and supporters! 

I haven't got a lot of doggies supporters as mates, but how would they feel at the moment, on one hand they got a premiership, but the success was so short lived that the premiership might actually feel bitter sweet. They are now seen as 'one hit wonders' and every subsequent season to that premiership has been deemed as a massive disappointment... and it's not like built towards a premiership at their peak, they fluked it on a 4-5 week hot streak!

FYI (Kardinia Park): I live 20km from this dump and refuse to attend our games there (every bloody year) on principal.

I have Platinum/Legends mship which gets me into all MCG and Etihad games.

But not K Park.

I go to all other Vic games and at least one interstate games each year. 

Our cheer squad get shafted - placed on a flank as seats behind the northern goal (non Cats cheer squad end) fetch a premium.

If you roll up and expect to get $25:GA you may be disappointed. Even though it won't be sold out they'll tell you that you need to pay $35 min. for a seat.

They treat opposition supporters with utter contempt.

Furthermore, night games can be dangerous for visiting supporters. Their supporters have spent all arvo in the pubs.

I urge all MFC suuporters to boycott this game.

Yeah that will help, let’s not turn up

Carlton by 27 tonight. 4 score reviews in which 2 will be incorrect. Charlie Curnow to dominate and kick 7. 

If you own a rent-a-crowd business, you’ve done well this week. 

Saints reduced tickets down to $13. Wait for an hour before the game and I'm sure you will be able to snap them up for $5. Bargain - maybe not. Yawnfest coming up.

I am very wary of foods in KL (seriously), 2 years ago i ate something whilst there, that gave me stomach cramps for 3 days and i needed 2 week long doses of antibiotics. 

Pity. Because KL is a cool city

That's a shame ..the food in Malaysia is pretty good but after a while you can get tired of it. The fresh produce is great value at the local markets.

Must say my favourite for Asian street food is Vietnam ... the flavours are so wonderful.

If want to live on the wild side try India ... have been there a few times now and lived on the street food without problems. Mind you sitting in the gutter watching the pigs scavenge nearby as you munch on your puri can be a little off putting for newcomers ?

Nothing beats a cheap airfare and a small backpack ? 

 

Taylor Walker only gets a week suspension. A bit light.

Of course he did.   They had to have him back to play us.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
