Weather forecast turning sour. Rain and strong winds possible Sunday afternoon.  Having 3 talls could backfire on us. North will relish it. Havent Sportsbet heard of Bass Strait and Tasmanian weather.

I bet alot of money is going on North this week. Poor weather and sympathetic umps might keep them in the game.

 

where are you getting your weather forecast?

i just checked 5 different weather sites - 21/22c, light wind, <10% chance of rain

So much for sunny and 22.

Should have moved the game to Marvel.

Currently the forecast is Cloudy with a too of 19c... nothing about rain or strong winds.

Yep...North are terrible alright but so are Melb against North in Tassie.

Melb now have a much better team but im not overly  confident . If Melb win by 3 goals iD take it now.

 

 

This “Melb” you speak of doesn’t exist anymore.

Still the only player to kick double figures on debut.  A couple of others kicked nine.

For Melbourne, the best is Harry Davie in 1924 (!) with six.  Sean Charles and Brent Heaver kicked five on debut.

According to Angus in a post match interview last Saturday, this Melbourne side lick their lips when it rains, so no worries there.  As long as the team remain focused and don't get ahead of themselves, they'll be ok.

 

Just got home, and found out our boy is playing,?great news.

YEEEEEEEES

As per other posts, weather is looking Ok on 3 forecast sites including BOM.

20 degrees , slight chance of a shower, cloudy with some sun,, winds 15-20 km/hr in the morning but lightening winds  in afternoon.

We have the runners, the under and into its, the tappers, the smackers and the whackers. If it rains heavily, North will fold even quicker.

 

Just saw the interview BBB did today that's on the club website.

We all know he can play - but gee he also speaks well.  You can tell by what he says that he's very aware and humble - would have to be great for our culture.  How the Roos let him go for next to nothing I'll never know.

If you told me 12 months ago I'll be cheering for Ben Brown I would have told you to get stuffed.

One of my most disliked player from my most disliked team. But gees I really like him now in red and blue. Speak so well, amazing goal kicker, and how about that marvellous hair!

He was unbearable at North. The hair, the 50 metre run up, the cheap frees in front of goal, the marking every [censored] ball that was within 10 feet of him, the never missing a set shot.

 How good are all those things now?  ?

So true! couldn't stand him at Norf, now suddenly he seems like a great bloke and excited to see him run out!

You just knew everytime we came up against north he'd kick a bag against us.

So stoked to have him on our side.

The line is 57.5 points or something ridiculous if anyone was taking North it would be that not H2H

Unless you take a H2H as emotional head. I mean if you stick 100 on North and win 1300 you'll be less of a blubbering mess as you sip some Balvenie as a coping mechanism.

When we first recruited big Ben Brown, I showed my 5yo son the video highlights of him kicking all the goals for North and he instantly became his favorite MFC player.  So much so, that when I bought my son a new MFC jumper the other week, he wanted the No.50 on the back, which he has hardly taken off since I bought it for him, without BBB even playing a senior game for the mighty Demons.  Little guy will be absolutely stoked to watch him run out for us on Sunday as I will too. 

We've been pretty good even without an elite FF this season and I'm hoping that with BBB about to step in an dominate the forward 50 arc, that will take us to the next level again.  Looking forward to those go go gadget arms marking everything in sight and the big fella slotting through some big bags of goals for the MFC over the next few seasons.

...might even be a few more MFC No.50 jumpers running around out there over the next few years.

I think BBB was one of the prime target of players that need a haircut thread.  But just like Dogga, Hunt and Linngers, if he performs well for the MFC, he can have his hair however the [censored] he likes!

Hunt and #Positivelingers have the best hair in the competition. I will hear no bad things about it.

I recon it was because he was so bloody good and North kept beating us that spawned any dislike for BBB on my behalf.  How things change.

 

...now just get the job done boys.

You need to check out the talking Ben segment or whatever it was.  He's a pretty smart cookie the old BBB.  Think he did some kind of media studies, a batchelor of arts or something.

From the forecast I just read, medium chance of showers (0-1mm) and 15/20km winds. Not too bad I would’ve thought.

Nasher and co will be dusting off the budgie smugglers based on that forecast!

The marking and goal-kicking I'll enjoy.  I'll even be ok if he flops around a bit and milks some free-kicks, BUT I'll never be fine with that silly long run up, even if he does kick accurately.  So unnecessary.

He can run from the sight screen like D.K.L. if he kicks it as far as I'm concerned....
