NON-MFC: Round 5, 2022

[Cards13 9,117]

I absolutely hate the thought of a roof being plonked on top of the night G, f k Eddie.

That was a really enjoyable hard scrabble game in slippery conditions.

Hawkins should get weeks for blatant cheating 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,825]

Literally enjoyed that more than Saturday night just about. [censored] the Cats. [censored] em. 

Looking forward to Chris Scott's delicious salty tears on 360 tonight.

Interesting game in the context of the top 4.

You would think that we and Brisbane will be there but the other two spots are wide open

Now that Hawks are going to win I feel bad for cheering for them. [censored] Hawks.

I don't even want it to be a draw though. Don't want Geelong getting anything

We understand your anguish but it's in a good cause. The GET [censored] GEELONG cause.

Gryan Miers should get weeks for his name.

At one point a free was paid to Hawks and it looked to me like Hawkins started mouthing off to the umpire but quickly turned his head to a seemingly random Hawthorn player.   A cunning bastard.

Good on Gaz for addressing the dissent rule.  👍🏽

I think it’s a wonderful and very deep of thought adaptation of Bryan.

Wanna see the Meowdown at the Moggie website🤩. Again when the going gets tough so many just revert to scared lil puddy tats

LURVE IT 

[dl4e 5,851]

So here we are, on top of the ladder a game and percentage clear. Only 4 teams have scored more than us, and one of those got to play North and another WCE.

Meanwhile MFC and Freo are well clear on the points against. Already.

Love seeing Geelong lose, but why does it have to be Hawthorn? I don't want to see Hawthorn anywhere near the finals for years. But right now each of Geelong, Hawthorn and Sydney sit inside the top 8.

How good has this weekend been. Pies get done, Essendon, tigers, weagles and cats follow suit. Oh and we belted the giants.

I agree - not ideal, but aligned with my order of dislike.

Whoever beats the cats is fine with me.

Tweety Bird has summed it up perfectly

" Bad OLD puddy Tatts"

[Go the Biff 3,414]

Completely neutral here as I can't stand either club.

That was a ripping game of footy to watch. Jeez that little #44 from Hawthorn has a crack. #44 from the other mob goes alright as well.

[Fritta and Turner 4,403]

Still havent beaten anyone above us or in the 8.

This is the thing Mazer.

During any game, umpires must see indiscretions that could be given as frees.

How do they decide when/ which to pay?

An ouija board would be more reliable. But wouldn't get past the Channel 7 AFL Oversight & Management Committee.  Slows the game down too much.

Understandable sentiment. Now that the Cats have been skinned, and we've smoked our post-coital ciggies, we're asking ourselves what the hell we have just done. But look on the bright side. If the Hawks get anywhere near us in finals, we'll murder them.

Assuming Geelong beats Hawthorn tomorrow, there will be a two game gap between 7th (likely Carlton given its percentage) and 8th (Collingwood).

Five weeks in, we are getting close to the point where the top 8 starts to take shape. There is a reasonable argument the top 7 will be playing finals this year. You'd think the 8th side will be the Dogs, with Collingwood, Richmond, Adelaide, Gold Coast and GWS mid-table sides who will win some good games but not 

[radar 1,865]

Three games and 50% clear of 9th.
