NON MFC: Rd 08 2021

[dees189227 12,517]

Come on giants. Don't stop. 

[Craig Hutchinson 126]

Happy to see a number of clubs go backwards this year . Tigers - we beat them in the practise game and against Swans showed they have been to the well too many times . Might just make the 8 as the middle of the ladder looks very even and weak . Brisbane , West Coast and not sure about Cats and PA yet .

Cameron has me worried .

The big improvers with a chance are the Dees and Dogs . Swans too young .

This could turn out to be another dream weekend: we win and Essendon and Collingwood lose. 

[dees189227 12,517]

Giants get out to a 5 goal lead then let the bummers back in. Bury them

I think gc should hold on

[dees189227 12,517]

Gee the sun's will rue losing that one.

Terrible kicking by both teams on what was a sunny day.

[dees189227 12,517]

What do we think the crowd will be at marvel? Nth fans may feel they gave a shot here

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Early indicators suggest that Norf are going to receive a jolly good thrashing!

[dees189227 12,517]

Thank god the giants held on

[Craig Hutchinson 126]

Went to the G to watch the Hawks game . Been too long away and a lot seemed to have changed .

The ad boards move sideways during the game which was a terrible distraction . We won't get rid of them but stop moving them while play is happening .

Then the GOAL , GOAL , GOAL after each 6 pointer  screaming from the speakers smashing atmosphere ( for me anyway as I like crowd noise ) . This really [censored] me off .

Entertainment before and after the game with the game left alone in the middle . I am a traditionalist . Leave the Test alone !

[Little Goffy 14,971]

Threads like this are popping up on Demonland, on other supporter forums, and even on Bigfooty.

Alas, [censored] marketing managers who have only ever dealt with 'products' and transcations instead of community institutions and relationships are very sure they know better and none of the deeper stuff fits on a spreadsheet anyway.

[rjay 25,424]

I'm happy we're moving up the ladder and not just for the obvious reason...

If you watch the North Collingwood game...is that 17th v 18th?

They must get the worst of the umpires.

The standard of umpiring is appalling.

To think that's what we had to put up with week in, week out.

It's still bad, but touch wood, not that bad.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353]

Norf are excruciating. So bad.

Where is the Norf that played a great (first) half against the Dees last week?

Well said, I’m so with you on that. 

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

The advertising boards at the footy are atrocious.

Who the F allows them to be that prominent and that bad. MCC selling our soul i guess? These boards are such a huge distraction during games especially twilight. They seemed to just come along and nobody even said boo about it. Good to see it at least being mentioned here. Im not sure if where you sit makes any difference?

The above poster @Craig Hutchinsonis correct in saying at least stop them moving during play.

Petition anyone?

No way in the world that's a free kick. He's trying to smother the kick at goal. Are smothers going to be contact below the knees now?

[Mazer Rackham 14,972]

All three games today have been horrible with horrible umpiring. Skill levels way down. Suns threw it away, Giants should have sewn it up, lucky to hang on. Pies, ha ha! It will go down as the master coach Buckley outwitted the wiley, devilishly tricky Kangaroos. In fact the Kangas just can't kick or mark. Or handball. But it keeps Buckley in the job another week ... keep it up Pies!

Agree 100% rjay - some of the worst umpiring I’ve seen 

[titan_uranus 25,255]

We're now three games and 20%+ clear of everyone except the Dogs and Port.

You'd think our three games against them are going to be decisive to whether we finish top 2/4 or not.

[dees189227 12,517]

Port changing into there prison bar jumpers to sing the song is pure genius. They better not get any fine for that. 

Cop that AFL, pies & Eddie

Noticed in the Gold Coast game that most if not all of the stadium was open and the crowd was naturally dispersed around the whole of the ground. 

Something the MCC could learn from
