Round 21 Non MFC Games

[Demonland 74,431]

Which results will help us secure the best bottom 6 partners for next years draw?

[P-man 13,367]

I agreed at the start of the year to go to the game at Manuka tonight with a Hawks mate.

If I don’t make it back, I love you all.

Tonight will be interesting. No idea why you would fixture a friday night game in canberra in the middle of august. 

I hope really hope the dogs can knock off the bummers.

These 2 teams should be wearing a Clash Jumper, if such things are needed. 

But of course the aren’t of course, because the AFL is a joke

Manuka

Very different sort of snow at Metricon on the Gold Coast

Mumford is in his element 

[dees189227 12,512]

Wow look at that snow falling. Good work by every boundary rider out there tonight in particular Daisy. Well done to the crowd to. 

[monoccular 17,760]

What Einstein would schedule a night game in Canberra in August?

The buck should surely stop with the CEO.  

[The Lobster Effect 899]

Shame Melbourne isn't playing.

Could have gone to the footy and snow at the same time.

Up close the jumpers are readily distinguishable but I agree on the longer shots there is a blending of the various shades of orange.

Cannot understand the childish love of AFL clubs for the jumpers. They must be the only sport that has not moved on to having clear clash strips.

Hell I saw Liverpool playing recently in a blue strip and no one batted an eyelid.

That's the joke on twitter about Melbourne should be up there playing with the snow and all and the other jokes are about Mumford and white stuff. 

[Deeoldfart 8,201]

I live in the damn place.  Glad I chickened out on going to Manuka tonight.  There's enough snow in my back yard!

[monoccular 17,760]

GW$ looking almost Melbournian tonight.  No urgency and just structureless 

Not sure how they will find the goals.

As much as I cannot stand Toby Greene.....the maggots have just crucified him..... and then provoked the retaliation....turnover goal....prancing clowns who think they own the game....rant over

[KLV 1,768]

GWS are woeful, first tip for the weekend wrong

[Demon Disciple 12,536]

Surely Leon Cameron is on thin ice. For all of their concessions and talent, GWS don’t look like going close to a flag anytime soon.

[Earl Hood 6,167]

Gee wiz these Giants are going to go nowhere in the finals. If I was their coach I would tear strips off a number of them but then you aren’t allowed to do that with these young ones!

Surprised the commentators havent brought up that old chestnut yet

[Dee Zephyr 19,311]

Top 4 settled if Toiges beat Blues this weekend? 

[McQueen 17,867]

How the [censored] can a club have eleventy zillion first round picks and still be so [censored]?

Theyd have to lift one end up...we only ski downhill 

[Little Goffy 14,963]

One does not simply schedule an extended outdoor activity in Canberra, at night, in August.

The average overnight temperature is 2 degrees, and it typically gets close to that range within a few hours of the sun going down.

Rain is a one in three chance on any given day for the month, higher in early August. The soil is always damp so the wind is always biting, and that wind comes directly off the highlands, continuously, for the whole month.

 

I genuinely miss it.

But since the AFL is supposed to serve sane/normal people, this fixture is just incredibly stupid.

 

[Earl Hood 6,167]

Where is the million dollar forward Cameron? Hardly had a touch, incredible bunch of soft talent that can only perform when it suits them it seems. Just a bit too cold it seems. 

[beelzebub 23,392]

It is...or was. ...a Winter game ? Yeah !!
