NON-MFC: Round 6, 2022

[BoBo 2,956]

It’s a weird feeling watching non-Melbourne games in this era.

There isn’t another team that currently looks really threatening to us.

Bloody love it!

Maybe in their weight division BBO. They need to beef up though if they want to go toe to toe with the heavyweight champions of the AFL. 

You're all over it Ralph !!!! They are pizz ants!

Need a Freo win 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Cripps would go alright in a good side 

[The Swimming Dee 1,907]

Is Jack Martin the most over paid player in the comp? 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

As much as I’d love McKay in our forward line, he is quite injury prone. I can recall half a dozen games in the last 12 months where he has looked very proppy or playing hurt.

Line ball with Williams.

Great recruiting blues.

pfft, langdon's was betterer

freo look good - solid defensively and lots of attacking options, with fyfe still to come back

[Return to Glory 8,518]

Touch of Darcy Parish about Sam Walsh. A lot of possessions for not much influence. Still, as BBO has reminded me, they're the Premiership faves. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,457]

The Brown Paper Baggers can only play 50 minutes 

Talk Back Radio will be good next week 

[Ollie fan 3,671]

Things we are learning:

1. Carlton can’t deal with pressure.

2. Freo have copied our game plan……. but

3. They don’t have May, Lever, Petracca, Oliver or Brown.

Blake Acres meant to kick that goal though

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

It's been a long day.

I'm refluxing shiraz so it's bedtime.

I'm marking Carlton as pretenders!

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Hard to play our brand the way we play it. Requires dedication which Freo appear to have but time will tell whether they have the fitness and depth. Will be interesting to see this side once Fyfe comes back. 
 

They could make a run for the top 4 next to the Lions and Cats. There isn’t anybody else left  (not sold on Saints and Doggies will struggle) I think that could string the required number of wins. Blues and Sydney will likely take 5 and 6. I think spots 6-14 will be separated by a maximum of 8 pts and % based on the even spread of the average teams in the Comp.

Enjoying this.  Would like to see Freo go beast mode in the last and put some big numbers up. I know a lot of Bluebagger fans. Related to more than my fair share as well.  I've rejoiced in their disappointment and would like to continue to do so. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,457]

What a shocking call. About 5 sets of hands touched that Ball. Not a mark

[Demon Jack 7,194]

Love the look of Schultz and Swikowski. 

[Nelo 813]

Carlton have a really good top 6-8 players then if falls off a cliff dramatically.

It does. But gosh Cripps is just a beast. He’s regularly putting up 30+ disposal, multiple goal games now.

[Nascent 9,345]

A Carlton loss makes the freo song bearable.
