NON-MFC: Round 18, 2022

[Demon Dynasty 17,114]

Roooos!

That was a gutsy win and probably the upset of the year given who they were playing and what was at stake.

Although you have to wonder where that's been aside from last week against the Pies.

Many of them saying this one's for Noble so you have to take that on face value as fair dinkum.

Zurhaar ... this bloke really punches above his weight when he's on.  Goldy was also super in that last quarter or so.  That No.1 draft pick did ok as well eh!

In the end you can have all the systems and styles you like.  To win these tight games against very good teams you have to bring the most important element for most of the four quarters.... great effort.

Blues or cats?

Someone smart explain to me who we want to win out of Carlton and Geelong?

I was hoping for a nil all draw but Geelong already scored so that’s not an option.

Blues. Coz not Geelong. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Geelong look dog hungry this year. But will be interesting to see how they perform under pressure. Blues so far can’t touch the ball.

Depends on how you think the Dee's will finish the season. If your thinking we will end well the blues as we can reclaim top spot. If your thinking we will finish bad the cats as Blues will be fighting for our top four spot. I'll just sit back and watch wishing we had at least 1 of these big forwards

Wow your conspiracy theory is coming true! 

[Redleg 41,830]

Blues, Swans and us. Must avoid Freo in Perth as will be hardest to win.

We play them there soon and it could decide our fate.

😁....and that's the million $ question. Who knows how we will finish the season.

Very happy for North. Tigers shown to be the mid table outfit they are

Zurharr. Off the rookie list. He is a beast

We have done very well in finals in Perth this decade.  🙄

He's put off contract talks until the end of the year.

Would absolutely go after him.

Good win by North, well deserved in spite of maggots.

You really have a thing against umpires it would appear.

[DubDee 26,244]

Curnow has Buddy level star about him

not saying as good but he has it

[dazzledavey36 55,534]

Curnow is a genuine star now.

The noise level by Carlton supporters everytime they kick a goal is next level!

If we’d had umpiring in Adelaide like Collingwood did today, we’d have won by 80 points.

How many years was he injured for? He still has huge upside as well. And to think we took Weid ahead of him.

25yo and only played 75 games. Hasn’t had a good run at it since 2018 really. 4 games over 2020-2021. Not a fan of the blues but hard not to like his resilience

Can't teach presence and swag. Unfortunately Weid won't ever have it

Top 2 is a must.

I hope there were a bunch of our players watching the Roos game for a few reasons. For one I hope it would remind a few that it wasn't that long ago that these wins were what we experienced. I would also hope it reminds players to place value on the wins and don't take them for granted. Finally I would also hope that they get reminded that bad kicking is bad footy, we've missed some very getable chances this year and it has cost us, Richmond lost that off their kicking boots.

Great for North, hilarious to watch.

Need a headcount on the cats tonight. Seem to have more players on the field.
