NON MFC: Round 18

[rumpole 539]

When all is said and done, we were stitched up in Round 16 when the Bulldogs came off a bye and a long break to play the Eagles at Metricon off a 5 day break with Natanui pulling out late. They won by 2 points and their last goal just got through the score review by a fingernail. Next day, we lose to the Dockers off a 4 day break. We needed only one of those results to go the other way and we play finals.

Now we need a miracle to make the finals and get to play the Eagles in Perth.

I knew it was Gil's fault

Thank you for spelling out the details

positive start by dockers, dogs look a bit nervous.

Save money, AFL, and abolish umpires. The game couldn't possibly suffer from it

[Mazer Rackham 14,972]

We're pinning our hopes on this low-skilled pack of try-hards to get us into the finals???

 

(Answer: yes! Heave ho Freo!)

I disagree, turn it into a money spinner. Let's start celebrity umpiring, with a whole TV reality show. I mean if they refuse to be professional about umpiring, why don't they go the complete reverse? Imagine the possibilities.

I'm imagining ...

Every week, one team randomly draws the hanging judge ... the hanging judge awards every free against that team

At half time, the team in front can replace one umpire of their choice with another umpire of their choice

Viewer poll ... vote for the next  free kick and what it is

Each captain has a free free kick they can call at any time of the match, anywhere on the field.

Umps in WCE home games and all Hawks games can mark the ball, handpass it, kick for goal as if they were players for that team (not too different from now, but here it's out in the open)

Ok so we need port to win tomorrow, then the pies have to go to perth and play west coast, west coast win and put them out of the finals. Job done. 

I can't help but feel if we won another game it would be the filth sitting 9th

Now we're getting somewhere. Think of the TV ratings, more ad breaks than ever before, the revenue Gil, the revenue!

Playboy Bunnies as umpires. They have more brains than the lot we have now.

[dees189227 12,512]

Go port, send those pies to perth

Eddie v Koch

 

Say no more 

[Earl Hood 6,167]

I am watching the game on CH7, can anyone tell me how many goals De Goey has kicked in his last 2 matches? 

[Die Hard Demon 1,224]

Is it just me or does Alastair Lynch gasp for air between sentences way too much? Sounds like he’s about to cark it.

Doggies may get golden ticket not playing in perth

The positive for C/Wood is at least Bucks and Sando can get in a game of tennis.

[rjay 25,424]

I thought BT excelled himself tonight, in great form coming into finals.

I honestly didn't think he could get any worse than he has been this season.

I was obviously wrong.
