NON-MFC: Round 8, 2022

Who are you tipping?

A Big Friday night game.

Who would have thought it would be the "last chance saloon" for these two teams so early in the season.

If GWS beat the Cats that is probably goodbye top 4 for the Great Ocean Road team

The rest of the round is rather humdrum but perhaps the Crows upsetting the Blues could round out the weekend.

Oh can hawthorn just do a job on Essendon so there is more media focus on them and talk about reviews, players who aren't performing and just there team in general.

Bizarre that the clear match of the round is on at 1pm on Sunday

The lions will beat the eagles by 100+ points

Fascinating to see Port tonight 

Will they have another Horror Show against Footscray?

 

 

[DubDee 22,043]

Well we will lose top spot this weekend (for at least 12 hours)

maybe even go down the desperate lows of 3rd spot

The Lions will gain around 15% I'd say!

Why? coz their players don't look after their bodies and train/recover correctly.  they have 17 injuries and would be able to cope with players out with covid for one week

get a decent conditioning and high performance coach and get some standards

I don't get this. They are missing 3 players because of covid. The rest are injuries. That happens in footy

I hope they do as Brisbane would be forced to play 15 straight games without a rest.

[deejammin' 2,096]

Port, Freo, Tigers, Swans, GWS, Essendon, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide. 
I suck at tipping though, tend to let MFC’s best interests and my hatred of teams guide me, not wise.

LOL Eagles out partying before covid nightmare. Just made W.A News. Coach Simpson not happy

Yep just read that. Honestly you just shake your head. Just be sensible. I mean you are entitled to have a life but when your club can barely fill a team each week just use your brain

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,024]

With the exception of GWS v Cats this week looks reasonably straight fwd, but as we know there’s been at least 2 big upsets each week.

Don't know what the go is with FTA broadcasting this round, but it appears that only three of the nine games will be on Channel 7 - one tonight and two tomorrow afternoon.  Looks like there is no Saturday night nor Sunday arvo games on FTA.

Anybody have any idea why they aren't showing the customary four matches at the usual times?

Now what did Arnold Schwarzenegger say in that movie where he played the robot, when the janitor came knocking on his motel room door?

I imagine Channel 7's response would be along the same lines.

You tell me.  I've never seen any of that meathead's movies.

[DubDee 22,043]

Two friday night games.... OK I can try to get on board.  One in Perth so obviously start the Melb game at 7 and then the WA game starts at 9:30 (7:30pm local time) so no overlap yeah?

Oooh no, AFlL decide to start the WA game at 6:40pm local time and have an entire half is overlapped with the other game.

Why you ask??  good question!

I don't think north will perform well even with Freo's outs but still.

can anyone enlighten me?

Well…for that reason and that reason alone, there should be no cancellation of the game. Let the players and the team reap what they’ve sowed!

Powell-Pepper running through the banner with a baby, who looks about a week or 2 old? WTF?

I never see the point of footballers running through the banner with their kids, but this is next level.

[DubDee 22,043]

No doubt the commentators are told to not question or say negative things about the umpires

thats the only reasonable explanation

Nothing sure in life like death , taxes and Doggies free kicks.
