[Diamond_Jim 12,723]

Picking from a what is good for MFC viewpoint there are several interesting matches.

If Adelaide could bet the Bombers that would be fantastic.

As for the others depends if you are an optimist or a pessimist. Believing us to be clearly top 4 material ?I'm going for

GWS

North

Port

Dockers

Eagles

Bulldogs

Hawks and Swans to draw

And Storm to thrash the Broncos !!

Not fussed who wins tonight. Don't mind either team. 

I'd love to see Adelaide get up and beat the bummers. That would be fantastic. 

[dl4e 5,851]

I reckon the dogs in a canter tonite.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Should actually be a pretty watchable game tonight. Both teams happy to play with an offensive mindset so hopefully we see a few goals kicked.

tis indeed

no defensive pressure whatsoever

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Would prefer a Suns win tonight.  Think it helps us more, as they will likely run out of steam in the seasons 2nd half anyway.    Dogs one of our main competitors for a spot in the 8.

really, dogs should be a top 6 side

they've disappointed since the surprise premiership

sigh...i'd love a surprise premiership...

Half Time and neither side has impressed at this point in time. 

The other thing that’s not impressing is the rain and the predictions that it’s going to hang around the Coast for the next few days and affect our game on Sunday.

 It should also impact our team selection and I’m thinking Nathan Jones is firming for a return. T. Mac also still a chance as well.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

The Crows could sure do with Hugh Greenwood.

Weightman - 0 posies into the third.  Runs around packs like a seagull looking for a chip.

Post that in the Weightman thread!

Pickett all day, every day.

I’ve really enjoyed the Suns v Dogs game. 
English has gone from a bag full of chocolates to the boiled lollies this week. 
I really enjoy seeing Libba back to his best, tough little nugget and just keeps bobbing up for stats and goals. 

The ground is going to struggle with the weather on the way.

Wow, just checked.  31 hit outs to 8.  English getting a lesson

I'm sorry but I simply don't rate the doggies.

Gold Coast is a league leader for defensive pressure.

They've got a gun midfield with a forward line that only works on some weeks.  When it's off they can't score at all.  Granted, the weather didn't help later in the game, but at they can be totally impotent inside 50.

Also, anyone feel ill when Billy Gowers marked the ball with about 30 seconds left and then turned it over with a shocker of a kick.  I swear he could have been wearing a Melbourne jumper when he did that.

100%. He had players everywhere or he could have chewed up time. Instead he did his Angus Brayshaw impersonation and shanked one into the corridor and hit the GC on the [censored]

I'm getting really really really REALLY tired of the commentators fawning over Rankine!!  Even when he kicked behinds in the last, they were making it seem like it was part of a cunning plan! (did love his mark though)

Me too! He's kicked 6.9 for the year and has burnt some team mates

[BW511 2,724]

I think the novelty will wear off pretty quickly with him. He can have all the tricks in the world, but eventually he will have to tow the line for the team and he will be watching from the stands

[Stevienic23 1,183]

It's astonishing the amount of league footballers who still don't know the rushed behind rule. Corr just gave em' a goal.
