Could not believe the tigers were favourite with bookies for this game.

So I backed them to win ay 2.20.

And to win by more than 39 at 14

Stiff bin, very stiff.

 

Party at Mrs Hardwick’s place tonight I would have thought.

A friend of mine went to a baseball game in Los Angeles last night with 20,000 people. LA had nearly 4,000 COVID cases yesterday. We’re not going to get the chance to watch our team be a genuine chance for a premiership. 

I disagree. The GF is at least 6 weeks away, maybe 7. Thats a long time from our current CoVid restrictions. I remain hopeful as we leave winter and enter Springtime that, we'll be able to be there - if and when we qualify - at whatever ground it's played. Still a chance - always a chance! GO DEES!

 


i'm as bad as @Demonland, furiously changing results to calculate the likely finals match-ups

can definitely see the peptides making it playing old mate joedan and the bears, a sydney clash in the other elimination final

for us i reckon it'll be the pear if we win both games or we'll play the cats two weeks in a row...i worry that it'll be two trips down to kardinia park, but if we drop r23 then hopefully practice should make perfect and we knock em off in finals week 1

other top four clash will either be footscray v pear or cats

Yeah, but thinking about it, there are probably a bunch of rules like that.  

Like what? 

rules should be clear to all players. They should not have to look to the umps to see what they should do

That's not the rule at all.

What is the rule then? Players move until they hear stand with no penalty. 
the rule might not be the problem. If not the interpretation is

Like playing on to advantage and/or any other time the umpire calls a free kick in general play.

It’s a massive IF mate. And I’m  not expecting it to happen.

Just pointing out that GWS are carrying some brilliant form and could very well beat Sydney in week 1.

Meanwhile we’ll be playing a high quality side in week 1.

Tends to happen when one finishes top 4. (Fortunately for us given our record v 14-17th). 

Hawks seem intent on sending Clarko out in style. I reckon they will beat the Doggies today

Well you did think they were a chance against the Lions 2 weeks ago. Surely not the Dogs, would make things bloody interesting if they did.

It's not called " right, you Umpires go out there and concentrate on the rules of the week".

Now it's "interpretations of the week".

Upon reflection re last night's game I should have realised that the Tiges had called it quits for the year after Dusty had finished really..


Facts.
If it wasn't for Martin Richmond wouldn't have won 1 flag let alone 3.

Roundest face I’ve ever seen. Almost a perfect circle.

I think stand is the worst of the ‘need to hear’ instructions

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

All free kicks involve a whistle. Quite different. 
 

and the advantage rule is another shocker. Officiated differently regularly

BT querying as to why Dustin Martin has to  do 14 days quarantine in Melbourne when he’s just came out of a QLD hospital…

Umm, pretty sure he’s been out of hospital since late July.

https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.afl.com.au/news/654025/dusty-out-of-hospital-but-not-heading-home-yet/amp

 

I am now coming to the realisation that BT is an extremely poor caller.

He regularly calls the wrong player and the wrong version of a piece of play.

He calls points goals, marks touched etc.

He also displays a bias towards some teams and players.

He has joined the magnificent, superb, magical, legendary, sublime territory of Dwanye.

In addition to the unlistenable voice of Kelli, these are 3 commentators that just drive me nuts amd ruin the enjoyment of a game of footy.

The volume button is very low when they are involved.

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
