NON MFC: Rd 07 2021

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

Genuinely think we're the best side in it so far this year. Port have been hot and cold. the Dogs looked good at stages but haven't been tested and their backline is a real weakness against better sides. and we've beaten Geelong and RIchmond.

the ch 7 commentary from the bunker in docklands sounds weirdly subdued today

the way the swans play is really interesting; chip chip chip

if it works it's great but if you can pressure their forward entries they struggle a bit

[BDA 22,755]

Surprised with how poor Port are looking

We've been by far the most consistent and solid team thus far. I don;t think we've had a bad quarter yet.

[Sir Why You Little 37,040]

Port don’t like playing Brisvegas 

they often get smashed. 

 

weird....

A strange year, with erratic performances (up and down) happening week to week.  Sides down 5% get cut up, and few teams have a system that works.  Teams have looked champagne or boiled lollies with little apparent change.  Stands us in good stead with a solid system.  We have seen off several solid efforts (including the two grand finalists) and it seems more than the sugar rush offered up randomly by others.  Defence wins flags.  Not impressed by many others 7 weeks in.  Dees are looking well set up in comparison.

Because GWS need more top 5 picks. Bloody hell!

It’s ok. They keep their feet warm before they move to better clubs. 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

The umps kick another goal for Geelong.

Dogs were weak as [censored] last night and Port are getting slaughtered as we speak.

Of course we are the best side in the comp.

They’re very good at it. They’ve been doing it for years.

Between the botched salary cap, disastrous trade period,  Eddie standing down, Grundy contract,   their 1-6 start where Buckley has lost the players and the players dont even care about the jumper, losing to Gold Coast at the G'...

The Pies are officially a basket-case.

If only Port had run out in the " prison bar " guernsey,  would have topped off a great week for the pies....

Some “surprise results” this round.

Hope our guys see this as a gentle warning and just go out and smash Norf.

Very concerned that everything is going our way. Usually does not bode well!

Hoping the 2021 demons are the real deal

[whatwhat say what 22,768]

Look like a class of recalcitrant schoolboys sitting down to a reality check homily from the coach post game.

What a shame that the Cats lost. ?

[low flying Robbo 979]

Cats absolutely shafted on that last call. I reckon it went 20 at least

But how good is it to see them on the wrong side of an umpiring decision.
