NON MFC: Round 18

Lucifers Hero

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

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

    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.

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

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

    Enjoy your trip to Perth Collingwood. Hope you get thrashed. 

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

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
