NON MFC: Rd 22 2021

Is anyone else quietly hoping that North upset Sydney today?

North plays Adelaide next week and with a Kangaroo win today and a really good percentage-smashing of Adelaide tomorrow it would actually make next weeks' game a wooden spoon battle.

With Jason Horne on the line, I could see the Crows losing that one while North's recovery through the second half of the season deserves better than the spoon.

Full credit to North - after the bye they've gone 3W 1D 5L and not a single blowout loss in it. That's really impressive in a season that started as badly as Melbourne 2013 (No, wait, nope, nope, just because everyone thought they might go winless for the year doesn't make it that bad...)

    I just don’t want some little [censored] kicking a goal after the siren in our game…

    then we have some ground to stand on.

    Not exactly the tastiest of menus today in terms of what’s on offer.

    Geelong V St Kilda the pick of the bunch, but that game could go south in a hurry if the “bad” St Kilda rocks up.

    You're probably right. However, the difference is that the 'not 15' is necessary to follow long established rules of the game.    

    I get that it’s definitely necessary. What I meant is that it can be the worst call when the player in question, ie., the bloke who just marked in front of the oppo’s goals, doesn’t hear it. Provided everyone else heard it, he is sure to be tackled and, even worse, caught HTB.

    Hopefully the Hawks and Saints get over the line today. We can then sew up top spot with a win over the Crows tomorrow and then rest some players against the Cats.

    Port says hi.

    Five minutes in and 2 holding the ball decisions against Bontempelli. The umpires have been possessed by aliens!

    In a standard game I have seen about 10 ‘missed’ frees that would go for the Dogs. I wonder if the fear of Clarkson public lashing has scared them straight - albeit temporarily.

    I saw the 64 game and I'm still in my home thanks!!!!

    I reckon “not 15” is worse. Especially if you’re a defender who’s just marked in the opposition goal-square. 😬

    'Not 15' . . . as it leaves the boot. My brain often thinks the same, but I'm not an AFL umpire. Wait until it doesn't go 15 meters before declaring it hasn't travelled 15 meters maybe?

    Hawthorns pressure is pretty good if they could just make the most of their opportunities they could win.

    Clarko’s parting gift to the Hawks - get as high up the ladder after some late season meaningless wins and cost themselves a mint draft pick after a mostly lousy year.

  • Quote

    Jeez, the Dogs look bloody ordinary today.

    The Hawks in their 'Clarko's Farewell Tour' are in a good spot to claim another victim

    How many clear OOB have gone against hawks ??? PLENTY

    Where are all those muppets that said we should have kept Frost? Still an absolute liability. Bulldogs haven't looked like kicking a goal, except for the two times Frost has turned it over.

    I picked Hawthorn today, as much as I loathe them. Clarkson is a coaching genius and his game day coaching a particular strength. Watching it now, it looks like the Dogs will come over the top in the 2nd half but It would be great for the Dees to see the Doggies get rolled.

    Dogs look horrendous. Mistake ridden. No system. Absolutely all in front of the Hawks now. Brilliant for us if Dogs lose this.

    Dogs losing doesn’t really help us if:

    Port win twice 

    Geelong win twice.

    If that’s the case we’ll all be booking flights for Adelaide for the qualifying final.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
