[3183 Dee 2,910]

Much as it pains me to say it, I think the Cats will win it this year.

Just red hot right now.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

How many goals do we kick in the 2nd half? 1, 2 or 3?

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,122]

Geez Freo hate the wet.

Down by 3 pts to WC in a game WC have no business getting within 10 goals.

[ANG13 2,073]

West Coast playing better than us from what I have seen, not hard mind you. 

[layzie 34,187]

Is the Derby looking better than our game?

[layzie 34,187]

Do or die this quarter 

[layzie 34,187]

This is a boghole

[layzie 34,187]

How did we stuff that up 

[layzie 34,187]

Need to see more 

[layzie 34,187]

Never in doubt Max!

[layzie 34,187]

FFS

Apologies wrong thread

12 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

I thought he turned it all around against cars h and a game and prelim and seemed to love kicking them...almost skipping after giving high 5s.

Gone back to his old poor  self of set shots. 

If he is accurate it makes a huge difference

 

I wouldn't want him kicking after the siren for a win.

 

Other than that I feel bad for the criticism of the big guy who bleeds red and blue.

Not sure if you were on the turps when you wrote this Deever, but I think big Maxy did just fine kicking for goal after the siren Rd 23 last year and setup our magnificent premiership drought breaker.

I don't want to critise him either.  He's MFC royalty as far as I'm concerned, but I'd really love it if he can find his goal kicking radar again and help us smash the Cats in a prelim on the way to a flag at the spiritual home of the MFC at the MCG!

I absolutely despise Collingwood, particularly after beating us twice, however is it actually better for us if they beat Sydney today?

If we beat Brisbane and Collingwood win twice then I think we’d play the Pies (2nd v 3rd) at the G in week 1. I’d like to think the boys have learnt a few lesson from our two encounters against them.

Conversely, if Sydney beat Collingwood and St Kilda  they probably get us on percentage which would mean a trip to Sydney week 1 assuming we beat Lions.

Really torn on what’s the better outcome for today.

(Ofcourse all of the above will mean nothing if we lose next week)

One thing I know for sure BBP, I'm not wasting one ounce of stress on this game. Swans win means Pies lose, Pies win then we may get the scenario you mentioned.

If I may for a moment on St Kilda, I think it's time they do a partial re-build. They're in the dead zone which is frankly the stink zone. So much money tied up in average players and no proper direction. Their football looked great early in the season when they took the game on and used pace, they now look one paced and boring. Have someone sit on Jack Sinclair and there goes the rebound 50 attacks. Extremely disappointing.

[layzie 34,187]

Seeing Ben Cunnington and Sam Docherty do what they did today makes you feel things are pretty good in the world.

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,787]

Are we better off if Collingwood beat Sydney? 1 and 2 almost locked and both Melbourne teams

Or do we prefer Sydney win a close game?

Can't see either losing Rd23, reckon Carlton will be spent and StKilda won't help us

Almost irrelevant if we lose, unless Freo and Sydney lose last Rd

If we win, it's difference between Coll or Syd at the G in FW1

[layzie 34,187]

How good would a draw be? Just getting it in now on the 1 in a million chance I can look like a genius later.

[dees189227 12,443]

Good to see Essendon get the 4:40 slot. I don't think I've heard anyone mention them at all this week.

Hope port thrash them

[layzie 34,187]

Not confident about the Bombers 

[radar 1,865]

Wouldn’t mind getting the Pies at the G if they’re still unbeaten 

[layzie 34,187]

Might think about it later, too tired.

[dees189227 12,443]

I see de goeys out. Typical, he couldn't have missed last week because of a quad injury could he?

[Diamond_Jim 12,658]

Can't see a result that favours us greatly but for the purpose of keeping top 2 possible....Go Swans

Eagles fading in last night's game against Freo did us no favours
