An aside... Liverpool played Man U yesterday in a pre season friendly in Michigan.Crowd of 105k at a sold out stadium.

Man U played the kids.

Amazing what people will pay to see these teams play.

Another aside... apparently Mexico plays more times in the USA than in Mexico itself because they make so much more money than when they play in Mexico

Wow 105k for a friendly

amazing

    I think it was the stadium used by the University of Michigan.Also blows your mind how big College football is as well.

    My rationale for being happy about the North win is that, given percentage difference, any team on 10 wins at the end of this round would need to win all 4 of their remaining games, while we only win 2, in order for them to pass us. And I'm confident we will manage at least 2.

    North are respectable and the win over West Coast adds some credibility to their claim to play finals, for sure, but I don't think they'll win all 4 remaining games. None are against top teams, but also, even the Lions and Saints have shown they have a bit of fight in them.

    West Coast, on the other hand, are beginning to look just a little shaky and I'd love for that to continue. Ok, they are on 13 wins. But that is 10-1 for the first half of the season, and since then they are 3-4. Funnily enough, the maths for us passing them are the same as the maths for North passing us. Considering all possibilities, it would just fit the OFFICIALLY EPIC finish to the season if our rnd 22 game agaisnt them carried the prospect of jumping them on the ladder.

    Overall, I just want to enjoy the ride of every single game for the rest of the season having both the threat of dropping out of the 8, and the opportunity of climbing into the top 4.

    Madness? Definitely, but at least I'm having fun!

    Langdon gets it a bit but he continues to be an untidy player. Reminds me of Harmes in his first few years.

    Just saw that Port have a diabolical run home. Arguably worse than ours.

    Hope those Crows can play for the honour of their jumper etc and do the right thing in the Derby next week.

    Looks like their game in outer space will be a win.

  • Quote

    If we win the games we should we'll finish from 3 to 5 depending on others results.  Port can possibly just miss out after their run.

    Freo and the Dogs,  both totally useless.

    Bummer was hoping the one strange upset a weekend we've been getting lately would continue. Unless Freo play out of their skin the Hawks should just control the pace of the game and seal this one. They're experienced and wont get embarrassed again like the Brisband game

    Have only been flipping channels while cooking but when I did it seemed like Langdon turned it over by foot badly? Was it Langdon or someone else, anyone noticed?

    • 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.
