Round 5 Non MFC games

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Was it 15 clearances at half time?  Surely Fagen needs to put a run with on Treloar??

[Smokey 4,389]

Gee thats soft. Wish the umpires would put the whistle away. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Did Captain Snooze give the Lions their half-time speech? Boring...

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Cameron's turning into a handy play maker.  Wouldn't mind seeing him in the Red & Blue.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Wow ump made a good call!!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Edit: No theyre not.

No run with on Treloar costly.  Zorko pls

Broooce... “Hodgey might’ve given you an elbow if you’d asked another question - he’s up for the fight isn’t he.”

Female boundary rider Bruce. 

You [censored]-smack.

I love how Collingwood’s forwards don’t lead to the ball carrier too early, they time their run which creates space to lead into.

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Pies forward line is so dangerous. It makes me jealous how well they time their leads into space, always manage to find space and overlap. They don’t lead into each other’s path or fly for the same balls as often as other teams forwards. Even battlers like Mihocek manage to be productive. 

Movie forwardline coaches need to study this and make changes!

Very good point CB.  No doubt well coached and drilled in this area.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Amazing how sniper Mathews always somehow sees the opposite to what is an obvious action from a player resulting in a free against.

Shouldve gone to Specsavers

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

10 extra meters to play with yet teams go into their shell from the square.  Going short and allowing the opp to retain the ball inside their 50 when they could kick it almost to mid field position towards the boundary for a stoppage (worst case scenario in most cases). 

Instead Brissy went short there...twice.  Turrned it over...twice.  Got away with the first one...2nd resulted in a goal.

Brisvegas have hit the wall

They also have great disposal and a fantastic mid field.

Is it my imagination or has Martin done reasonably well against Grundy?

He has but for those wondering why McInnerney wasn't picked up.

Just check out when Martin took a fairly long break forward in the 3rd (I think it was).

The big O couldn't get near it and Grundy took him to the cleaners...

Grundy is a very good player but Oscar is a long way off the pace.

What, because they beat Brisbane? A side which hasn't made the finals since 2009?

[whatwhat say what 22,771]

nah, pies have been long past us for a long, long time - we used to be the two biggest clubs in the competition by a big, big stretch

same number of flags since 58 (three apiece) but umpteen dozen gf appearances for them and continued strength as a club over an extended period of time whilst we have floundered on and off the field

but if yr talking recent times, they only went past us on-field on prelim final day last year - they won, we didn't

they are currently playing a great brand of footy tho, whereas we need to improve significantly to match last year's results

[Willmoy1947 4,091]

The BEST thing about this game was that they managed to take up three DH's on the one plane to umpire this game. Thereby ensuring that we will not get them in our game this week. They were deplorable Two terrible decisions in the first qtr. One hit the post obviously and another went over the line, called a goal and yet was touched beforehand. Brisbane were crucified.

Don't speak too soon. Razor Ray is booked in for Saturday. But David Rodan is one of the goal umpires. Hope Melbourne gives him plenty to smile about. Love his reaction when Melbourne kicks a goal.
