Purely from an MFC perspective which results do we want/need to go our way?

Collingwood

Adelaide 

Geelong 

Fremantle (I think) 

North

Port 

Richmond 

Carlton

1.St Kilda... Collingwood will be top 4 and we are looking for the bottom half of the 8

2.Brisbane... keeps both Adelaide and Brisbane within a bulls roar of MFC

3 Geelong (see 1)

4. Freo... see 2

5.North v Swans... probably irrelevant but if one needs to pick perhaps Swans .. would hate to be playin North for a spot in the 8 in Round 23 in Tasmania.

6.Suns... see 2

7. Richmond... will make the 8 whereas we compete with Hawthorn

8. Giants but a Carlton upset would be okay

 

I'm a bit the opposite. Would prefer Essendon to beat Freo and have as many teams on 4-5 as possible.

Remarkably, if we lose to West Coast and GWS but knock off Adelaide in Darwin, the ladder could look like this after round 11:

Fremantle 5-6  (8th)

---------------------------

Hawthorn  5-6

Port  5-6

Essendon   5-6

St Kilda  5-6

Bulldogs  4-7

North Melb   4-7

Melbourne 4-7.

We could still be in this thing despite losing 2 of our next 3 games.

 

 

Well im still feeling angry and crappy after stuffing up that final quarter so if freo beat essendon who we should be above on the ladder id be a bit happier. Have no idea who will win nth and sydney. 

Id expect the pies to thrash stkilda

What an 'interesting' mess of a season. Keeps the possibilites just that little bit alight.

Excellent to see Adelaide still not quite getting it together. Keeps my 'on the hunt' dreams alive for the NT game.

I'll be at the Western Sydney / Carlton game tomorrow and will try to report as much as I can on GWS from up close.

 

On another note, 'our' Bernie Vince seems to be going alright on the MMM commentary panel, currently doing Geelong-Bulldogs.

Brisbane Lions have risen from the ashes.  Very exciting team.

Sydney now jump us and we’re down to 16th position ?

Did they leave the sprinklers on at Marvel tonight?

Jesse must be suffering the MFC inaccuracy disease

1 goal 4 behinds... could have won the game off his own boot

Dam just got home and saw the bummers had won. What a crap weekend.

Oh well at least nth lost again 

Heading to the MCG this afternoon to watch the Richmond V hawthorn game,

Beautiful day for football. Hoping for a good game. I will be leaving at half time if it is a repeat of the Essendon v Freo game of last night.

bit wet at adelaide oval

i wonder if gc17 can find a way to lose another close one - they've made an art form of it thus far in 2019

Maggots maintaining their pathetic performances in the Port v Suns game. 

AFL needs to address this as a matter of urgency.

Woeful.  

At the mcg. Nowhere near the crowd I was expecting. Lots of people trying to get in but probably fifty thousand at best

Another case where players stopped thinking a free would be paid in the Hawks/Tigers game. 

RIP Holding the ball.

Hawthorn supporters must be the biggest bunch of fair weather, band-wagoners going around. They didn’t turn up last week either.

It's a Richmond home game but I would say the crowd is around sixty forty tigers way so disappointing all round.

The MCC section is very sparsely occupied. I'm in the AFL area and have a section of the stand for myself

Anyone understand why Carlton would have to wear white against GWS?  How on earth would Navy Blue (with white shorts) clash with the GWS colours?  Defies logic.  Yeah.  I know.  It's the AFL.  Nuff said...!

Hawthorn playing a relatively attacking game plan. Pity they can't kick straight.. might have made it a close game

Same as asking why we wore our red-backed jumper on Friday night. We played West Coast in Perth twice last year and wore our normal jumper with white shorts both times. There's no clash at all between their royal blue/yellow and our navy blue.

gw$ players going down like ninepins but they're absolutely striking carltank out

Charlie Curnow dominating yet another game. 

Will Bolton survive a 100 point loss?

I'm thinking he's in danger
