NON-MFC: Round 18, 2022

[SPC 3,552]

Death, taxes and a Luke Darcy comment when a team is 3 goals up “next goal becomes super important”

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

As well as Carlton are playing, Cats 17 scoring shots to Blues 8. Blues half forwards being murdered.

it’s getting to the stage that I can’t even watch the Cats. I despise them that bad. Should I seek therapy??

im watching the Freo match and heart rate decreasing

No ... that's quite normal.

However I'm sure you don't hate them as much as me.

When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF.

The Doggies clever.  Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back.

Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight.

As of last week we were still standing the line.

That was some goal from Cameron

[Boots and all 1,000]

You know the thing about the cats, they never seem to overuse the handball, it's generally one or two followed by a kick. Even when we're playing well, we just seem to overdo it, and that issue has plagued us since Neeld. There have obviously been games that are the exception but too few and far between. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

You have to applaud the Cats. As much as i hate to say it, they are the real deal and will be a difficult proposition in Sept. 

Pressure has been through the roof and the Bkues look gassed. 

[Lord Travis 10,763]

Scoreboard flatters the Blues. Their defensive ability across the whole ground is not there yet. They’re zero chance of winning the premiership this year due to that, but will be a serious contender in the coming years.

Both Freo and Sydney are serious contenders. Freo for mine are ready to swoop on the flag. They’re probably the best defensive team going at the moment, and defense is what wins premierships.

Haha, if you need therapy we probably all do. I feel ill just thinking about them winning the flag. I'd take anyone above them atm.

[ANG13 2,066]

Swans outplaying Fremantle at the minute. 

[dazzledavey36 55,361]

Can't believe I'm saying this because I'm going to have to wash my mouth out with metho..

But Geelong are genuinely the real deal this year unfortunately. 

[Clintosaurus 7,867]

Blues fans sooking about the umps is priceless. Without their help this year they would struggle to make the 8.

yep. It’s hard to say isnt it, but  right now they’re the flag favorites. Gonna take a lot of beating to get past them now.

The only thing would be whether they have peaked a bit too early.. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Yeh very strong allover the field the [censored].  Hard to find a weak area.  Maybe the ruck but usually that isnt a huge factor.  Certainly well organised, maintain their structure and strong over the ball.

They attack the ball carrier straight away ...no hesitation at all.  The opp is always under frontal pressure.

Freo might be a team to counter this frontal pressure as they prefer to fold back and then counter vs the attacking forward style of the Blues.  Where do we sit here i wonder?

[DubDee 26,124]

Cats are the most efficient team in the league atm. 18 scoring shots from 36 entries

[censored] I hate them

[brendan 3,437]

Dedicating the win to noble is like The equivalent of your ex-missus dedicating her first post relationship root to you

Our defense isnt to bad either

[Mr Steve 3,820]

This makes our current form look not as bad as I thought.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

That's the Blues done for the year.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,708]

Let's see what Collingwood are made of in 3 weeks time.

[whatwhat say what 22,949]

freo-swans is a cracker of a game

[BDA 22,895]

Freo Swans going down to the wire

[Mr Steve 3,820]

A few late goals to the blues would be handy for us. 44 points and a game behind the Cats at the moment.

[640MD 3,433]

What a pity Carlton are losing.  If they had won. 7 sides on 48. At this moment. Quite close. Really
