Yep we’re going around in circles for decades... need to look at his people around him Swan inc assistants,  Our assistants are questionable & Richardson not sure what his role is & why we got him??? Wasn’t Roos his mentor for 2 seasons ???

He has had Roos McCartney and Richardson

He still needs his training wheels  Please get rid of this guy for the sake of the club and the team

My 22yo son is wishing that it’s a lions vs Port or WC gf so nobody he knows will be happy winning a flag... spoken like a true suffering mfc supporter!!

Brisbane may have had a dream run this season but they were top two last season and bombed out. They missed their opportunities. This season they are still making linear improvement. Something we failed to do after 2018. No reason to believe they don’t belong where they are. It’s all a matter of taking opportunities as they arise and they have taken the first positive step last night. Something MFC is still clueless about.

Hipwood showed Weideman how to impact a game without hitting the scoreboard last night.

[Diamond_Jim 12,658]

Saints v Dogs

The two teams most would pick as the weakest in the 8. (Perhaps Pies would give them a run).

What luck to play each other.

Dogs for mine by around 12 points with lots of behinds kicked by both teams

Yes both early drafts  (Weid pick 9 and Hippy Pick 14 )both 23 years old

The Weid needs to come on his development  has been anything but linear 

Needs a proper coach in my opinion 

There is plenty of ability to work on but suffers from being at Melbourne perhaps

[Diamond_Jim 12,658]

Hipwood 92 games

Weideman 44 games

Weideman was better in 2020 but he needs to get a wriggle on.

I'd be very happy with a Port v Brisse GF.  As for other comments on Brisse getting a great run at it this year, take every advantage you can.  None of it was their doing, blame covid.  They still had to win games which they have done for 2 years now.  They have a clear system they play to, we don't, we did for 1 season and then they changes the rules and it broke.

Brisbane winning the flag is the only way to make this season not a complete disaster. 
So happy to see Geelong and Richmond lose first week of the finals. I am so done with these teams. Same goes for West Coast.

Interesting ....

It was a genuinely good game! One of the few I’ve seen this year that hasn’t totally made me wonder why I still bother with AFL. 

[Demonland 73,327]

Dees fans know this scenario all too well. 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,939]

Finals - meh.

[Demonland 73,327]

How good would it be to have a key forward that could clunk marks.

[daisycutter 29,824]

pretty mistake riddled first qtr

[whatwhat say what 23,168]

nothing like the same level of intensity of the other two finals games so far

[Sir Why You Little 37,257]

This game is about half pace of last night

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,297]

Currently the worst final in living memory. 

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,305]

The only upside watching this match is that McAvaney and Taylor aren't commentating.

[Jaded No More 68,975]

You can see the clear drop off in skills and quality with this game. I’ve half switched off. 

[DemonOX 8,823]

Managed to get a free ticket to the dogs v saints game. How lucki is that. Up in the bleachers but still good seats at the mini G.

nice! tight game but lacklustre on the box; how is it at the ground?

[dees189227 12,442]

Wonder if Nathan is watching his brother? I'm sure he is, but gee the saints are doing well

[Sir Why You Little 37,257]

Losing to the Dogs this year was a terrible blight on the MFC

They are battlers (who have a go)

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,305]

There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

Too much time on my hands?
