ROUND 19 - Non MFC games

Featured Replies

I know Port beat us (luckily I thought) a few weeks ago, but they don't worry me one iota.  If we make it to September, I'd be very happy to play them at any venue.

 

Doesn't look like any results are going our way this weekend.

 

Just checked my tips as I haven’t dropped 1 to realize i tipped freo, not sure what I was thinking

Lucky we didn’t lose 


MAY must go for that after ball hit on Curnow … surely!!

Onto next week for some doozies.

Rich v Geel

Haw v Ess

The showdown 

Syd v Pies

Lions v North 

 

Hawks now up to 123% and climbing.  Might overtake us by the end of the game.

Ross Lyon is a dirty tanker.

A couple of tough games for Essendon and North. The way Sydney is playing at the moment due to injuries Collingwood are a more than a chance. Collingwood are also in more injury trouble after this week. It's hard to know how much effect that will have, they've coped well so far this year with injuries.

The Hawthorn v ESS is the early Saturday game. Shortish break for the Hawks after the Perth travel but it won’t make much difference after watching Freo stink it up.

Sydney can’t seem to win at home and Pies showing plenty of ticker. Simply glad we won so we don’t have to think about other games for another week. 

Would we prefer the Swans or Pies to get up?

I guess the answer to that question is how optimistic are you about winning 3 - 4 of the last 4 games? The Swans winning could put us into the 4 next week if we beat GC and other results go our way.

I’m more on the optimistic side, although we should worry about GC only for now.

This last month of footy is going to be the most exciting ever.

Two games separating 3rd from 11th.

What has happened to Footscray? Are they still watching the 2016 GF...

They deserved it, but since they have shown nothing

Players and Coaches getting paid a lot of cash. 

At least when the Demons win flags we do it in groups of 2-3

That’s hard. Probably better the Pies. If Richmond and Collingwood are 1-2,hopefully mean twin MCG PRELIMS. 

only alternative is West Coast - think I’d prefer Pies at G. 

If we keep winning problem solved

Goal of the year?

It was certainly innovative and spectacular, but technically it was a throw.

Richmond have learnt to put the foot down....

The Big lesson we are yet to master....

Hear here.

It is our next big challenge.  We are capable of matching it with the best, but are not ruthless. 


Is it a throw though ? 

He released the ball... to himself...for the purposes of kicking...which he did.

Had he not connected... it's a throw.

Agree. He wasn't being tackled so I see nothing wrong with it. Unorthodox,  but he disposed the ball... For a goal 

would only be a throw if a) it went to another player, b) it hit the ground, or c) he took it in his hands after 'dropping' the ball, I believe?

as it did neither it's considered part of the kicking motion

greatest ball drop of all time!

So a player lining up for goal could realistically throw the ball in the air and then kick it, rather than the conventional Ball drop we all know and love?

  • 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.
