Round 20 Non MFC Games

[Demonland 73,889]

Mostly dead rubbers for the Dees.

Best results to assist us in 2020 in terms of our bracket of 6 to play twice? ?‍♀️

only thing i want to see is suns and carltank winning so that the former can't argue for a priority pick and the latter stay ahead of us on the ladder

I never thought I'd utter this sentence but ... We want Carlton to win as many games possible and get out of the bottom 6.

problem is there aren't many teams that we are likely to beat on this year's form.

Playing Freo twice and therefore having two.. did we do the right thing by trading Hogan ... games would not be good for those of us wanting to move on. Imagine double games against Hogan, Watts and even Kent with each playing their seasonal best.

I reckon the Suns are a chance.  Pies have half their best team out injured and maybe roughhead as well if still concussed. suns looked good last week.

aside from that I'd like Port to win, because they are playing essendon

and Hawks winning will be a nice reminder to North that they still suck, have no money and after their 'exhaustive search' of interviewing one person, are going no where

I will be watching the Cricket ?

[Little Goffy 14,795]

I've not checked exactly, but I beleive Collingwood have actually named their entire available playing list in selection, once you include the extended bench for sunday (which will become the emergencies of course). Officially 20 names on the injury list, though some are test.

Given that Collingwood's performance since the bye has been worse than the Demons maybe Gold Coast are in with a shot. Or would be, except they are tanking.

Meanwhile, Brisbane are down to 4 injuries, with three of those being '1-2 weeks', and West Coast and Richmond are a week away from having injury lists just as low.

 

 

[DubDee 26,415]

Can we get the Hawks list manager?

mitch Lewis pick 76 after 12 games looks a beauty

Worpel pick 47.

7 clearances in the 1st quarter

[Ethan Tremblay 31,274]

Is Ben Brown the leagues premier diver? That’s two for the game so far, the best one was against Sicily, 7.8/10.

That one on half time was a cracker. Leaning back into Frawley and gets a free for holding. Umpires explanation: Prevented him from running at the ball. He was leaning back into Frawley, not trying to run.

He's a free kick machine Brown. I'd love him at the Dees, if only to see if he still gets paid all those frees.

Theres an Ashes thread, drop in.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,104]

Earlier in the game, Hawthorn skill error, Clarkson goes berko. Over at the Dees, skill error, ho hum, just another day in paradise.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,104]

I'd love to compare Sicily's behaviour towards the umpire there to Lever the other week.

[jules7 801]

OMG can’t stand Brown, umpires love him. 

[rjay 25,358]

Interesting to notice over the last few weeks and particularly tonight.

The umps have obviously been instructed to call play on for kicks going backwards if they don't go a good 15+ metres...probably more like 20...

Marks are being paid for around half the distance when they go forward.

Another interpretation...

[pitmaster 3,589]

It still surprises me just how ineffectual Tom Scully has proved to be.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,782]

26k to an all melb fixture on a friday night Disgrace, didnt the Hawks claim 75k supporter base? where the f are they?

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,782]

Hawks will be down for a while. See how many of their so called 75k members hang on for the journey.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,329]

Frawley looks cooked. 

And Scully was very average.

These are the only things I seem to get any joy from this season. Sorry, there's also seeing the filth lose.

[dees189227 12,460]

Port please win today 

[Diamond_Jim 12,722]

At docklands watching the Western magpies aka Port. Hardly a free seat in general admission. Port were going nicely.

Would hate to see essendon win another close one

[whatwhat say what 23,650]

God I love Robbie Gray

[dees189227 12,460]

go port 

[DubDee 26,415]

Essendon moron fans booing a free kick to port. Umps have cheering for the dons all game. 12-7 free kicks

[Diamond_Jim 12,722]

Great game here at docklands. Nice to see open running football.

Bombers hanging in just
