NON-MFC: Round 23, 2022

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,778]

Kind of hoping for an Essendon win against the Odds to add another layer to shambles that club is.

And be nice send off for Rutten who seems an entirely decent bloke...

Deserves a good send off. Stick it up those cowboys 

[Chook 15,013]

I reckon Rutten is cut from the Goodwin cloth but Essendon is about 35 years behind Melbourne in its realization of where they are, what the competition is these days, and what they need to do to be successful again. It took Melbourne a very long time to understand it doesn't just "happen", and Essendon are in the same boat now (and have been for the last 20 years).

Long may it continue - happy to see them stuck in the Essendon equivalent of Melbourne circa the mid-80s forever.

If you're looking for a way to get hammered tonight, have a drink every time a Channel 7 camera cuts to a shot of Ben Rutten in the coaches box.

I never need a reason to get hammered D'stone ........ nonetheless you make an excellent point.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,241]

Jeez, those Tigger's jumpers look like something you'd hand out to an under 12's or Auskick team.

[Jibroni 5,004]

Decided to watch the showdown as these games are always entertaining, particularly when you live in Adelaide and dont give a dame with either team.

[layzie 33,814]

This game stinks

Dees v Freo and Cats v Swans would be my preferred QF scenario. 

Would rather the inverse because that way, this will be the most likely Preliminary Final scenario - a more desired outcome

[layzie 33,814]

I'm doing something else, this is crap.

Jeelong just make me sick

switch to the showdown

always a competitive game

[praha 11,240]

I've never been more uninspired by a minor premier as I am of Geelong. I can't wait to beat them.

[Clintosaurus 7,849]

Showdown is a ripper so far

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Essendon had plenty of easy misses

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Say what you will about Richmond, but they definitely can put a big score on you.

[Sir Why You Little 37,046]

Who is the F wit on 5aa commentating 

I have never heard such bias towards the PAP

it’s worse than 3GL!!!

[Hellish Inferno 992]

It irritates me to see players that have clearly practised or been taught how to milk frees

Prime example. Being tackled from behind while standing and just falling forwards on purpose to draw an in the back

[layzie 33,814]

Commentary has been torturous

I’ve never seen a worse number 2 than Brisbane

[layzie 33,814]

Essendon are a joke.

Yes. They are just awful (but they did win a 🏆 in them as I recall).

Exactly.  Gifted scheduling, shonky home ground, totally entitled, DH of a coach….. but no strong match training going into finals May (hopefully) see them out in straight sets

Worst 85 point win I've ever seen.

[old55 23,597]

I reckon Broad ran off Hurley to leave him free to mark and goal.  Footy has a heart.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Carey's voice ranks right up there with Ruccuito's.🤮
