NON-MFC: Round 5, 2022

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Very unconvincing from the so called challengers but other supporters probably say the same about us.

Everything I'm hearing re the Dees in my part of town is "how can your boys be stopped?"

They're already basically giving us this flag and conceding a Prelim/GF in 2023 as the best case scenario.

[DubDee 26,117]

Remember everyone if you are a defender and your opponent takes a mark, if you put your arms out in frustration- that alone is justification for a 50. As we heard from the umpire at the time 

will this get mentioned as the absolute farce that it is????!

[BDA 22,875]

Entertaining game. Won't be losing any sleep about the Lions challenging us

Pretty poor win by Brisbane if we’re being honest.

Their Coaching staff would be disappointed in giving up 90 points in modern day AFL footy.

….”giving up 90 points in modern day AFL footy.”

Many teams do.   Our defence is our greatest strength and will only be better with the return of Petty, and when ready, Salem.

A pies loss. Good way to start Easter. Poor Howe, nah not really

Poor game. At least the filth lost but not by enough. The Bears looked poor to me but still won. The same could be said for Melbourne who are not playing their best.

[dees189227 12,398]

Still on top of the ladder

I find it odd that we were so heavily penalised in our practice game and no other team has been until now.

Harris Andrews was definitely having a winge after watching the replay.

Gardiner a few minutes later complained openly about a decision against him but couldn't be penalised as the goal had already been kicked. Seems to defeat the purpose of the rule.

In the opening 33 games of the season, just 6 losing sides have scored 90 points, including tonight.

Conceding 90 points in a win is too many for mine. No way would Brisbane win a final conceding 90 points.

[DubDee 26,117]

Magpies have lost 3 games in a row now

did Daics have any more kids??

[Diamond_Jim 12,627]

Strange game

After the first quarter Collingwood were always off the pace but they only lost by 7 points

Yeah I reckon our practice game was the anomaly. Haven’t gone hard after that. At least not consistently

[Willmoy1947 4,140]

If you had to guess what umpires fixations are going to be this week, try pushing in back and interference going for Mark.

And o yes the new deliberate out of bounce...wtf.

[Satan 2,881]

Hoping by Round 23 top2 is already sewn up , dont want to rely beating brisbane up there like geelong last year

[Deemania since 56 6,716]

It was wonderful to wake up this morning to check the score: Brissy vs. Collingwood (The Filth). I attempted to watch the game but the umpiring again gave me the willies, so I retired bored and disinterested for a long sleep.

What is interesting is at this point of the fixture, Brisbane (who in my mind were only moderately impressive) appear to be the major challenge for the Dees this season. It was good to evaluate the first half of the game, albeit interrupted by the snot goblins attempting to make the game '...genuinely evenly balanced and competitive...',  and with an intended bias towards The Filth to facilitate this ...' in an attempt to keep the viewing public ' ... on the edge of their seats...' 

Had this not occurred, at least in the first half that I saw, Brizzy would have won the match by half time, showing more skills across the ground and in moving the ball quickly, and well, on most occasions.

It is not time for the Dees to relax, however.  It is time to enter into the rest of the season with confidence and a determination to commit manslaughter in each game from now on. A bright season awaits us, surely.

Is this the most embarrassing (in a good way) statistic of all?  A brilliant piece of insight.

Mason Cox is 31 and looks cooked as an AFL footballer. As long as Collingwood play him in their team, especially with all the tall timber they had running around under lights last night, they will struggle to win games. They should trade him to Geelong at the end of the season.

They said the coverage it’s the first time 5 players 200cms plus have played in the one side… not sure Mason played much. 
You’ve got to feel for him, poked in the eye and  his vision appears stuffed, he just can’t seem to track it into his hands.

Others think Brissy were not impressive, I walked away impressed, with Hipwood to return the fwd line with Joe D finally putting goals away, they have improved. Defence is a concern letting the Pies score so highly but the caveat is the new rules of the week on display that dragged the Pies closer that it should have been.

Who can rid me of this meddlesome umpiring?

He's not old enough.
